Abstract

The idea for this book came from the important and interesting debate in India during 1997 on the nature of an appropriate media law for the future of its society. The operative law primarily had been the 1895 Indian Telegraph Act and, both as a matter of a felt need for modem regulation and as a symbol of India's status as a modem democracy, the courts, the Government, the media sector, and the Parliament were all persuaded of the need for change.
