TY - SER AU - Chaudhuri, Rudra AU - Kang Joseph, Arjun TI - Living in a fragmented world: India’s data way SN - 1473-6489 PB - India Review KW - Indian Data KW - Privacy Law KW - Protection Law KW - Sovereignty N2 - This article examines India's treatment of data and its relationship with sovereignty. In the absence of international norms or standards, the article draws on the various data-related rules, regulations, and policies, the country's international stance on data, and the developments in its ongoing journey to a privacy law to infer how the Indian government seeks to exercise sovereign control over Indian data. The article shows that India's treatment of data is a lot more nuanced and mobile than otherwise suggested. Instead, it is driven by more by economic and security imperatives rather than the need for control over Indian data UR - https://doi.org/10.1080/14736489.2024.2324638 ER -
