CYBERBULLYING AMONG YOUNG ADULTS IN INDIA: A SOCIO-LEGAL ANALYSIS OF LEGAL PROTECTION, SOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND VICTIM SUPPORT
Abstract
Cyberbullying among adults has become
a big problem in India because more people are using social media, messaging
apps and other online tools. This kind of bullying includes things like
attacks, scary messages spreading embarrassing stuff and other bad online
behavior. These actions can hurt a persons respect, privacy, feelings and their
relationships with others. Even though more people know about this issue
victims often have a time telling someone finding out who did it and getting
the help they need.
This research looks at the laws in
India that deal with cyberbullying the Information Technology Act, 2000 the
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and other important laws and court cases. It also
looks at the side of cyberbullying like blaming the victim not knowing the laws
the mental effects and the problems people face when trying to report it. The
study uses a way of thinking that looks at the rules and the social part, based
on the laws, court decisions, books and reports.
The research says that even though
India has some laws that help with abuse there is no clear law just for
cyberbullying. This makes it hard to deal with. It also says that having ways
to complain, teaching people, about the internet making sure institutions take
responsibility and giving help to victims is very important. The study suggests
that everyone needs to work including changing the laws, schools, parents,
police and online companies. It ends by saying that stopping cyberbullying
needs a mix of protecting people making more people aware helping victims and
respecting the right to speak freely.
