Dear Shri Alok Tholiya-ji,

Sincere thanks for this mail endorsed to me also, I agree partially and I too believe that, we have such a beautiful E-Tool, which puts all of us on the same platform instantly / all the time & we all are tempted to use the same due to no / low cost.

Hence, We need to create awareness continously on this ever evolving - CYBER Law & its Corelated Laws, to use it responsibly and with full accountability.

What I have also observed in the past and at present is that many a times, people just read the Information Technology Act and conveninetly, feel nothing great about it, but let me tell you it is one of the complete act which richly deserves to be read and viewed with other co-related acts and some of the sections that I have come across and researched till date to understand and implement or correct my good friends from doing inconsistent with it, which I wish to share with you all as I have observed, here are some of the commonly used, some of the sections of IT Act / IPC etc, are as under:-

Dear All,

Namaskar.

I hv seen teens our of ignorance and over zeal and activists ( aseem) or affected persons in life try to use cyber/ net / social media to vent out. They r ignorant and innocent. But law does not ignore u even if u r ignorant. and can get caught. Worst is much before judiciary comes in picture u hv to pay price to police if they r up to it which we saw recently in many cases.

Therefore proper education and awareness is required to this end:

1. mini article on newspapers
2. talk show on TV
3. small manual like what Setalvad and Sandeep Jalan had come out with on police/ criminal law/ FIR .
4. Establishment of PRO post in cyber police where one can go / call/ email and seek views on cyber law.
5. Lectures to be arranged by Bar, Rotary, Lions etc..
6. Poster to be printed by govt, law ministry, police on this.

Alok Tholiya,
