520			_aThis article examines the critical role of data protection in strengthening democratic e-governance in India. As digital platforms increasingly mediate state–citizen interactions, safeguarding personal data has become essential for ensuring trust, accountability, and inclusivity in governance. The study highlights challenges such as inadequate legal frameworks, uneven implementation across states, and vulnerabilities in cyber security infrastructure. It also explores prospects for reform, including stronger privacy laws, harmonized governance structures, and citizen-centric approaches to digital policy. By situating data protection within the broader discourse on democracy and governance, the paper underscores its importance in securing rights, enhancing transparency, and building resilient digital institutions.
