Cyber Law In India

"Cyber Law In India" is a comprehensive textbook and practical guide meticulously designed to navigate the dynamic and complex legal landscape of the digital world.

Philosophy

The core philosophy of this book is to bridge the gap between technology and jurisprudence. It operates on the principle that an effective understanding of cyber law cannot be achieved by studying legal statutes in isolation. It requires a concurrent appreciation of the underlying technology, its architecture, its vulnerabilities, and its societal impact. Therefore, this book treats technology not as a mere subject of the law but as an integral part of the legal narrative, explaining technical concepts in simple terms to provide a holistic understanding.
