I don't know about Indian malls, but in the US it's par for the
course to have some kind of surveillance system (cameras or such)
inside the trial rooms to check shoplifting. \
I very much doubt this. This was definitely not the case last time
I checked, and if things have changed, how come the ACLU and/or
EFF aren't all over this?
They have theft prevention tags and detectors to check shoplifting,
and cameras in general areas, but afaik, never in changing rooms.
That's my recollection* as well; are you perhaps thinking of the UK?
On the continent, one is greeted by store employees upon entering a
shop. In London, upon entering a shop, one is greeted by the CCTV
placard.
Public areas are not immune, either. My wife and I played
cameraspotter for a while, but the game palls, because it's generally
much too easy. Has this developed over the last few years, or has
London been Brinworld for a while?

* Very possibly outdated. Men's clothing has fairly reliable sizing,
so I haven't much experience with changing rooms. My wife thinks that
the Walmart/Macy's end of retail may have used them, but again, doesn't
remember it as having been "par for the course".
