Net Neutrality (or Internet neutrality) is the idea that broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon and others, should treat everything that flows across the Internet equally. If the principle of net neutrality is adhered to, then:

What is the status of net neutrality in India-
Legally, the concept of net neutrality doesn’t exist in India. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) regulates the telecom industry, has tried to come up with some rules regarding net neutrality several times. No formal rules have been formed to uphold and enforce net neutrality. Yet, in spite of lack of formal rules, ISPs in India mostly stick to the principal of net neutrality. There have been some incidents where Indian ISPs have ignored net neutrality but these are few and far between. Recently a debate on Net neutrality came up when several famous online messengers started offering voice and video calling. Several surveys and directly communication with public through voting was made. But in our view net neutrality is a right of every citizen. If net will not be free or will be biased to some companies it will be a blockage on development of society in this country. Internet in past many years has transformed itself from a knowledge base to a full utility. Our day to day needs are being furnished through internet.
