Privacy in India

From The Economist:

“Privacy is a modern “right”. It is not even mentioned in the 18th-century revolutionaries’ list of demands. Indeed, it was not explicitly enshrined in international human-rights laws and treaties until after the second world war. Few people outside the civil-liberties community seem to be really worried about its loss now.”

It seems India does still does not believe in providing the modern right to its citizens. How many more years before India can boast of a data protection or privacy law?
