Google reveals the Indian government made a total of 4,750 requests to share web users details, only next to the U.S., which made 16,407 requests in 2012.
Overall, the total such requests rose by 20 percent in 2012 to 42,327. Requests from India also rose by about 20 percent in 2012 as compared to 3,946 in the previous year.

In terms of the number of requests for web user details during 2012, India is next to only the US, which made 45 requests a day on an average -- the highest for any country.
"Governments ask companies to remove content for many different reasons. For example, some content removals are requested due to allegations of defamation, while others are due to allegations that the content violates local laws prohibiting hate speech or adult content," it said.
In respect of content removal requests from India, Google said: "In response to a court order, we removed 360 search results (during first half of 2012). The search results linked to 360 web pages that contained adult videos that allegedly violated an individual's personal privacy."
