Government sources said surveillance was something all countries did against each other. "It is only as good as your technology and intent," an official said. This is the fact I have repeated number of times before through this media. Once we move away from such fact and do not do nothing about it, then there is a problem for India and its security. Higher intelligence has become predator of weak and dull minds all over the world now who want to capture other minds at any cost and now with new technology to remain on top of other minds.
