The Nepali Constitution makes an explicit reference to privacy rghts. Yet privacy rights ko issues are rarely debated in Nepal. (If the second is a wrong statement, I'd like to be corrected!).

But the US Constitution makes NO reference at all to privacy rights. Yet the idea of privacy consumes civil libertarians, law school professors/students and the public at large in the US.

The attacks of 9/11 and the attendant Big Brother-like characteristic of the Bush admnstration have all the more challenged the idea of privacy rights in the US. This goes on to show that in a democracy, debates and discussons go on and
on.

What follows is a fascinating, short article:
