How long do we have before India turns into a complete surveillance state?

Modi government has already set up the foundation, any political party or coalition that comes up next is likely to exploit the system for their own advantage. This is not even a political debate, every citizen should be concerned about it. If we DO NOT say anything, even the Congress would be happy to keep the system as it is. But if we fight back and show outrage, even the BJP will fix it. It's up to us, we can not blame the government if we ourself are ignorant. One thing we can do is to hold our MPs accountable and question them during this upcoming election. Most Indians have very poor knowledge about online rights and digital privacy, so there is not much public pressure. NGOs like Internet Freedom Foundation are fighting on our behalf, but that's not enough, we need more public participation.
