Right to Internet:A Fundamental Right????

Right to Internet : A Fundamental Right???


Fundamental Right is the basic human right of citizens. the Indian constitution  grantees every Indian fundamental right. But today more than the guarantee of any other right people need insurance that they can access the internet anywhere and everywhere without facing restriction. Imagine a person who does not have digital freedom in digital India.

We often debate the pros and cons of the use of the internet and social media but we all are aware of the importance of them in our life. If there was no internet how could we have used our right to speech and expression, internet is the biggest platform for getting information and knowledge.

In the case of  Feheema Shirin.R.K. v. State Of Kerala  where students who lived in the hostel were not allowed to use mobile phone from 10 pm to 6 am. The student in the girls' hostel were also not allowed to use a laptop. This was a violation of fundamental right.

Freedom of right to speech and expression  is a fundamental right and no body can deny any person his / her freedom. This is a basic human right which mankind gets from the time of birth. though internet we can express our idea and our message, it is medium to speak and express our thoughts.

Internet does not only give us  a platform to communicate, connect and express, it also provides us the opportunity to learn with various sources.

The Kerala High Court gave its verdict on the above case and stated that Right to access internet is Fundamental right of every citizen  and can not be restricted on unreasonable grounds.

Any Fundamental right can be restricted on reasonable grounds, even the Right to Speech and Expression is limited.

It is obvious that many people do not have short term goals but do  have a long one, of having a lavish lifestyle, where they can buy anything for their family, going to hotels and restaurant will not shake their finances and of course, having the best person around you to share this joy of life. Many people around you may not be having any goals neither short nor long term, and there is nothing wrong in not having a goal, it is okay to go where life takes you because nothing goes as planned, fate sometimes crumbles your dream and throws it in the dustbin. So, nothing goes as imagined. But the delight of go with the flow is less than having a dream come true. When a dream comes true, when hard work pays off, you go crazy and you can feel that happiness in ...

Why the name your university/ college does not matter.

  I am not from NLU, we all have grown up listening to Harvard, Yale MIT, IIT, NIT,IIM,NLSIU etc, but only 1 or 2 % of student goes to these precious universities, does this means these student are exceptional, extra ordinary and incomparable?   Yes, may be or maybe not because these students are also human being just like us, most of them get placed in good companies just because they are from reputed institution, there is no difference in our learning ability and theirs, most of the time just the study environment which different. But having the tag of being a student of famous institution guarantees successes in life??
