On January 5 this year, WhatsApp notified its users in India and other countries of changes to its privacy policy and terms and conditions which would come into effect on 8 February.

Resorting to the peaceful Gandhian Satyagrah or protest is the biggest crime in India. For last two months the Narendra Modi government has been tolerating the Gndhian Satyagrah of farmers, but he is no more willing to endure it. So far the IT cell and some leaders of the BJP have been threatening and maligning the farmers and their leaders, but now the Modi government is unwilling to maintain any restraint and had declared a war against them.

Thanks to Covid, the Modi government could put an abrupt end to the agitation against citizenship laws, albeit at a time when the movement was showing signs of spiraling out of control. But Covid has had no impact on the farmers agitation, as it has gone on despite the pandemic. One can say the agitation has survived the peak infection point, which by all indications is behind us. In fact, the rugged farmers, toughened by their struggle with the elements, have admittedly preferred ‘death by Covid’ rather than ‘death by the farm laws’, or ‘death by the committee’, a description that the agitating farmers had reserved for the Supreme Court-appointed experts committee, which fortunately or unfortunately, depending on whose side one Is, was stillborn.

Transparency and trust are two major — and interrelated — pillars of public policy decision-making. Transparency is the principle of allowing those affected by decisions to know about the outcome and the process that led to those decisions. Transparent governance means that government officials act in an open manner, with citizens being informed of the decisions they are making. Transparency has many components — availability of all relevant information in the public domain, a public discourse or debate based on this information and a final decision by the government, which acknowledges and addresses the issues raised during the debate.
