India - The Dual Welfare State And Data Privacy Dogma




Aneesa Nahan, Law Centre 2, University of Delhi

ABSTRACT

Welfare states are important institutions in a society. The focus of most international welfare state research is on understanding and learning different solutions to social problems.

Theoretically, this paper analyses India’s welfare provisions through the lens of a dual welfare system and literature. The welfare dualism walks parallel lines of social security measures. My article puts forward the fact that one's private sphere is subjective and solely depends on the surroundings, culture and traditions that are brought up. It also depends on one's economic condition. The reality of living in a welfare society is that we are living in an era of social reconstruction. It is common for theorists and advocates of privacy to agree that while privacy is an important interest, it must also be balanced against other competing interests. Hence, instead of looking at privacy as a right, I shall refer to privacy as an interest that can be invaded for “social good.”
