Excuse me, can you site the relevant section of Indian law which gives

No, I cannot, and neither can I cite the relevant section of Indian law
that gave the Pakistani Army the rights to be in Kashmir. A State is
"Sovereign", it gets its authority from itself, not from its neighbours.
Yes correct, and that should be opposed in the same way we are opposing
the issue on hand.
But already many people are talking about pak army so we can also
discuss the digital privacy.
To quote Elizabeth I: Must is not a word to be used to princes!
It means might is right.
I did not know this too. I thought states are restricted by
constitution, a contract between the citizen or state.
That is seen these days as a rather extreme view, for example by the Tea
Party in the US, or Hobbes in the 1600's. I agree with you that a
Constitution is what the people have granted the Government of a State, and
the Constitution defines the State (which is why, as in France, each time
the Constitution was overhauled, the State changed name ("The Fifth
Republic").
(BTW, may I recommend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_%28book%29
). You should be able to get an online copy.
However, in effect, how are we going to enforce this contract?
Another, tangential issue: My grandfather may have consented to the
Constitution of India, but no one has ever asked me :-) What about _my_
consent?
So you are free to disagree, which is exactly what you are doing.
And this very constitution has given you that right "freedom of speech
and expression"
Happy hacking.
