      abstract = {We currently live in an information age where a huge chunk of information is readily available online. The information available can be both useful and damaging. At certain instances, an individual may seek to be rid of a specific incident that occurred years ago. The right to be forgotten essentially enables an individual to make a request to have personal data removed from the internet. In India, this notion is currently a proposition to be developed. The Indian courts are in the process of determining the way it should operate alongside both the Right to privacy and the Right to free speech. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is a legislated mechanism to facilitate privacy of individuals. This paper aims to analyse what the Right to be forgotten signifies, its operational modalities and significance. The Right to be forgotten is primarily a deal because it enables individuals to exercise greater control over their information.},
