India's intelligence agency RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) has been embroiled in controversies by going to Mauritius to peep into people's internet accounts. But do you know that government agencies are monitoring people's internet in India itself? Perhaps you have heard about it… but did you know that the US intelligence agency NSA also keeps an eye on your e-mail or WhatsApp chat?
In 2013, leaked documents from former NSA employee Edward Snowden revealed that the US monitors people's Internet traffic through fiber-optic taps around the world. The special thing is that according to a map leaked in these documents, America's intelligence agency collects more data from India and Pakistan than China. At that time it was revealed that India is at number 5 on America's monitoring list. America had taken 63 crores of intelligence information from India. But since then no government or opposition party has made it an issue. The reason…the government itself also keeps an eye on your data.

Doubts began to be raised that on this pretext, China could set up its telecommunication intelligence base in Mauritius. The biggest threat was to India's built Maritime Intelligence Base on Agalega Island.

Describing this as a threat to the sovereignty of the country, the opposition parties of Mauritius even demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth has openly said that he had sought help from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi because of doubts about China's intentions.
