If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.

You can't have privacy without a law that limits surveillance. In India we have been passing a new surveillance law every parliament session. If you want change, stop looking at #TelecomBill as a isolated bill.
