Privacy with your computer in India? Forget it.

Saudi Arabia recently forced RIM to install servers there that allows the government to snoop on Blackberry communications. I think RIM is about to cave in India, and on top of that, the Indian government wants access to Google, Skype, and VPN data!

I wonder how much interest will grow in those countries for strong encryption and easy steganography.

Yet more countries go on to my Do Not Visit list.

Encryption at the very least, TOR or equivalents on top of that, I would hope, so that all the data isn't available in India and is encrypted, hopefully requiring them to make legal justifications for decryption.
