These letters highlight public concern over geopolitical instability and the critical need for digital privacy protections in the Indian education sector.
It is deplorable that the much-hyped ceasefire agreement between Iran and the U.S. is already fizzling out, signalling prolonged military hostilities in the war-ravaged region. It is equally baffling that the United Nations has remained a silent spectator to the cascading effects of the conflict in West Asia.

The Hindu generally leans toward institutional accountability and social protection, which is reflected in the critical stance on data privacy and international diplomacy.
