  As far as the security is concerned I can understand the measures taken by them, but I somehow feel the that this is somehow restricting the freedom over internet...
  We all will be under some kind of vigilance and everything we do is scrutinized!!
  That's the saddest part..

  Do you think right now the Government is not listening to our phone calls? Yes it is.
  It should. I agree with the Government decision.

  It's because security reasons, if any anti-national activity will happen. Govt needs to have to access to data. an I don't think, if severs is not India, if quite a tough to access digital data specially, if there is conflict of interest between nations.

  Yes, I do think govt. is not listening to my phone calls. Unless you are a suspect, they won't track you. There is no point in wasting resources over some random person to track him, tap phone calls and so on. It is just a wrong thought that some one else is hearing you while you are making a call right now. This is not a sci-fi spy movie.

  Hay am sorry. Actually the Government is listening to each and every phone call. How can Government know someone is a suspect without listening to calls? And after knowing someone is a suspect, How can we get all his previous calls information without recording from beginning?

  That's a correct point.

  That is a misconception. No government agency of India records each and every call made by her citizens. It is not by hearing phone calls that some one is suspected, rather there are more ways. Previous call information doesn't include any kind of tapped/recorded conversations. It is only the time of call, duration and the place from where the call was made. Your call or my call are not recorded or listened by any government agency as of now.
  
  Now think practical. How many calls happen a second? How many officials do you think will be enough to hear to all these calls? How much storage space would be needed to store all this data? How much time will it take to manually process all this data and filter people? How costly would it be to carry out such a thing?
  
  If our calls were recorded, tens of thousands of 'cases' would have already been solved. A common person's calls are not recorded in India as of now unless you are a threat to the nation or a suspect. It is a pure misconception.
