  1. For centuries religion has dictated, and humanity has accepted, when Muhurtams and horoscopes dictate how to do what even including daily chores, how to shave (or not to shave) and dress (gender based), what and when to eat, reveal sins for redemption and also controlled other behaviors of (wo)mankind to a great extent and continues to control and direct lives (and politics?) even in this digital era. In the past decade or so (wo)mankind has embraced digital environment for an easier and convenient life style (all, all too willingly) to the extent that Facebook chooses your friends, shadi.com tells you who to marry, amazon tells you what to buy, swiggy tells you what to eat, LinkedIn tells you how to work, Netflix tells you what to see, Twitter governs you and so on.... and of course, media strives to guide you how to think. Consider this; if it were not for the digital network, the world would have been much worse off, in this COVID19 onslaught, than it was during and after the Spanish flu of 1917-18. Don’t stymie the digital growth, especially in India, with unnecessary “concerns” about this new found “TRP” of digital security. In the wake of the foregoing, the unfounded concern (overplay) of data security in the digital environment (which will make living easier) is confounding. Unless of course you, including the media, have something damning to hide.
