Hello,

Net Neutrality (henceforth referred to as NN) is a very important tool in democracy and free speech. It is what the entire civilized world vies for and if we, being the largest democracy in the world, do not uphold basic rights of our citizens, it would be very shameful indeed.

NN has been under acute scrutiny in the USA over the past few years, culminating in a vote out of their regulating body which resulted in complete and open internet for all. This was made possible partly due to imapctful journalism by John Oliver (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU) on HBO. I would sincerely urge you to see the video which further clarifies my points.

India needs to set an example of how democracy should function. Let's start with this. With all the bad press we have been getting in the last few years, it is time for a change.

Best regards,
Sarthak
