Net neutrality is an idea derived from how telephone lines have worked since the beginning of the 20th century. In case of a telephone lines, you can dial any number and connect to it. It does not matter if you are calling from operator A to operator B. It doesn't matter if you are calling a restaurant or a drug dealer: Most of the countries have rules that ask telecom operators to provide an unfiltered and unrestricted phone service.
When the internet started to take off in the 1980s and 1990s, there were no specific rules that asked that internet service provider (ISP) should follow the same principle. But, mostly because telecom operators were also ISPs, they adhered to the same principle. This principle is known as net neutrality. An ISP doesn't control the traffic that passes its servers. When a web user connects to a website or web service, he or she gets the same speed. Data rate for Youtube videos and Facebook photos is theoretically same. Some countries have rules that enforce net neutrality but most don't. Instead, the principle is followed because that is how it has always been. It is more of a norm than a law.
Actor Varun Pruthi created a video in which he tried to explain the concept of Net Neutrality in a simple yet awesome way.
