    Anuttama Ghose, Neha Agashe, S. M. Aamir Ali
    Championing Civil Rights in the Digital Era, 2026
    In the contemporary era, technological progress has led to a heightened emphasis not only on distinguishing between private and public spheres but also on identifying elements that may inadvertently enter the public domain but nonetheless contribute to privacy concerns. This study aims to examine the complex interplay between privacy rights and dignity in the context of widespread technological progress. This article explores the notion of human dignity, which is presented as a major subject that emphasizes the importance of people and their right to autonomy and respect. The study assesses the intricate interplay between privacy, governance, and societal values by drawing from philosophical viewpoints, legal frameworks, and case studies. This study highlights the pressing need for strong norms and ethical standards to safeguard privacy and promote democratic principles in the digital era, as it seeks to comprehend India's stance on privacy rights and concerns related to mass surveillance programs.
  • Copyright Strikes and Digital Dissent: The Case of ANI, YouTube, and the Suppression of Freedom of Speech and Expression in India
    Anuttama Ghose, S. M. Aamir Ali, Pallav Pallav
    Youth Civic Engagement and Political Participation in Digital Spaces, 2026
    It is now commonplace for individuals all over the world to incorporate the internet and several other types of information and communication technology into their way of life. It has the potential to enhance the capacity of society to engage in open discussion and debate. No state can rightfully claim to be a democracy if this freedom is unfairly or criminally withheld. In this chapter, we will explore the theoretical inquiry, pertinent legislation, constitutional requirements, and pertinent court declarations in order to understand how ANI's institutionalised processes for copyright infringement litigation have affected Indian YouTubers.
  • From extraordinary to ordinary: a critical analysis of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 and Section 113 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023
    S M Aamir Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed Khan
    Statute Law Review, 2025
    India’s criminal justice framework, through both general and special legislations, is a rudimentary rendition of its colonial genesis. Elements of obsolete colonialism, in terms of law making and governance methodologies, are argued to have plagued contemporary India’s counter-terrorism framework. In light of this, this article aims to critically deconstruct the presently operational counter-terrorism statute of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA), and the replicated offence of ‘terrorist act’ into the general law under section 113 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS). The authors engage in a provision-specific analysis of UAPA and section 113. This is revelatory of its pragmatic implications in terms of politicized application and their indubitable deviation from established principles of criminal jurisprudence and India’s constitutional configuration. The concomitant creation of a mutilated jurisprudence is argued to be jurispathic on three grounds: legislative dependence on colonial antiquities, executive normalization through political aggrandization, and judicial complicity through silent acquiescence. The configuration of crime, criminal, and criminality is argued to continuously result in human rights violations of the accused. The orientation of India’s attempts at countering terrorism, through extraordinary and ordinary legislative systems, has therefore been rendered a tool of oppression through the hyper-criminalization of those victimized by its process.
  • Linguistic Genocide of Minority and Mother Tongue Languages: Unravelling International Implications on Indian Laws Through a Critical Discourse
    Anuttama Ghose, Sanjana Bharadwaj, S. Mahmud Ali
    Journal of Asian and African Studies, 2025
    Language is an inherent and intrinsic form of human communication, and India is renowned for its extensive range of languages. Nevertheless, the languages that are spoken in India, which play a crucial role in fostering this diverse cultural landscape, have encountered obstacles stemming from the forces of globalisation and domestic prejudice over an extended period of time. This paper underscores the concerning phenomenon of language attrition throughout history, wherein numerous languages have become extinct, resulting in fragmented remnants of cultural heritage. The majority of extinct languages were of Indigenous origin, suggesting a discernible racial bias in their eradication. Many linguists see the current situation as linguistic genocide, the intentional destruction of languages to achieve cultural unity. This study assesses the laws and policies pertaining to minority languages in India and examines their compatibility with international standards. This paper examines the difficulties associated with the implementation of language preservation legislation and explores the potential consequences of linguistic genocide on cultural identity, social cohesion and human rights within the context of India.
  • Combating misinformation, disinformation, and fake news: A comparative study of the USA, UK, and India
    Pallav Pallav, S. M. Aamir Ali, Anuttama Ghose
    Combatting Misinformation and Global Nation S False Narratives Through Education, 2025
    The role of digital media in disseminating information has attained a prominent position in society. Though social media and other platforms promise a democratic space, in reality, it has been an easy ground for powerful entities with resources to sow the seeds of propaganda with the help of manipulated information. The dominance of incorrect information in the form of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news is evident. This chapter analyses the scenario of the UK and the USA in brief, with a primary focus on India, which has been the nucleus of the informational crisis, palpable during elections, COVID-19, and in general. Further, the paper attempts to identify the factors that flare up the menace of misinformation, disinformation and fake news on social media. Finally, it delves into the scope of its regulation and attempts to produce possible effective countermeasures to tackle incorrect information on social media.
  • Unsoundness of Mind and Neurological Impairments: A Reappraisal of Section 22 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023
    S. M. Aamir Ali, Anuttama Ghose
    International Annals of Criminology, 2025
    A change frequently encounters opposition from analytical minds prior to being embraced. This paper discusses the complex biological, psychological and social causes of criminal tendencies and their neurological triggers. The endocrine system, notably cortisol, changes behaviour and cognitive functions, which might lead to criminal tendencies when exposed to prolonged stress and adverse socio-economic conditions. The paper discusses the legal framework under Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code, presently Section 22 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS). The authors contend that Indian criminal law failed to decolonize when the BNS preserved the same idea of “unsoundness of mind” without much alteration. The study examines issues in defining “unsoundness of mind” and how the accused bears the burden of proof. The authors also support diminished responsibility as a legal defence in accordance with international precedents and emphasize that legislative adjustments must embrace scientific developments. The article emphasizes rehabilitation and community-based therapy over punishment, citing the Mental Health Care Act, 2017, for neurologically impaired offenders. It suggests cognitive–behavioural therapy, education and vocational training for young offenders. The findings of this research suggest that a neuroscientific-informed legal system can improve justice, public safety and offender reintegration by prioritizing rehabilitation over punishment.
  • Revival and preservation of folklore through tourism: Approaches for the sustainable cultural heritage management in India
    Anuttama Ghose, S. M. Aamir Ali, Abhijeet Dhere, Pournima Inamdar
    Community Development Insights on Cultural Heritage Tourism, 2025
    This chapter examines the role of tourism in the revival and preservation of folklore, focusing on sustainable cultural heritage management in India. It explores how tourism can be harnessed to revitalize traditional practices and performances, providing economic benefits that support the maintenance of cultural heritage. However, it also addresses challenges such as the risk of commercialization and the potential loss of authenticity. Effective management strategies include integrating legal frameworks, such as intellectual property rights, to protect traditional knowledge and developing policies that balance economic and cultural interests. The analysis stresses community engagement in policy formation and best practices for incorporating and respecting local opinions. India can preserve its rich folklore history by balancing cultural preservation and economic growth with legislative safeguards, community participation, and sustainable tourism.

  • Criminalisation of marital rape in India: a medico-legal analysis
    S.M. Aamir Ali, Anuttama Ghose
    International Journal of Public Law and Policy, 2025
    Marital rape is described as undesired intercourse between a man and his wife acquired by force, coercion, threats of force, physical assault, or when she is incompetent to consent. Marriages with marital rape have considerably more significant rates of sexual aggression, marital discomfort and reduced marital quality and satisfaction. Many marital rape victims are either incapable or scared to oppose their spouses' sexual violence. Victims of marital rape have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, gynaecologic disorder, and terrible physical health impacts. Thus, this paper investigates the laws governing rape in India, with a focus on the status of marital rape, the acknowledgement of marital rape as a crime and an analysis of the perspective of society and judiciary toward marital rape while highlighting the medical consequences faced by the survivors of the marital rape.
