Re: India launches monitoring system to track all calls, texts, and on
When the world is becoming more dependent on technology and communications are multi chanelled it makes sense to keep a finger on this pulse.
But what is to be seen is how efficiently the data is interpreted and analysed.
Even in existing system, we always hear "intelligence agencies warned the police force of an imminent attack" etc etc in the aftermath of a terror attack.. They file it under "Lack of ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE" after the kaboom
it happened in Mumbai terror attack to the latest bangalore blast near BJP office.
I believe that the intelligence gathering part + distribution part is quiet good, but when it comes to the real life level where the real action takes place, the authorities dont take them seriously or they dont give such tips due consideration and hence end up in kaboom.
Now that the world is dealing with cross border terrorism, If the latest intelligence gathering system is put to good use with a global framework for sharing such intelligence, then we may see quiet a drop in terror activities.
It will all work and only work when the auhorities who are supposed to act at the field level puts some effort , work on these intelligece and show some genuine patriotism.
Actually a lot of cases of robbery/man missing /crime related cases are tracked and solved via technology i.e following the mobile networks etc. This new system is taking it one more step closer to "monitoring."

Herr Kapil Sibal is working overtime, the same way Ashwini Kumar was.
Protecting 'national secrets', I presume!
By the way, the Congress claims they thought out themselves and gave the RTI, it was the Supreme Court which initiated the demand for RTI.
The Supreme Court has read in article 21 the right to know. To quote the Supreme Court "Right to Know is a basic right which citizens of a free country aspire in the broader horizon of the right to live in this age in our land under Article 21 of our Constitution."
Freedom of Information Act was passed in 2002, but as the statutory functionaries of this act were not nominated and appointed, this act could not be implemented. In 2005, this act was replaced by the Right to Information act, 2005.
Now, UPA is working overtime to ensure that information is not leaked where the RTI can be used.
