The Supreme Court of India has held that there is a Fundamental (Constitutional) Right to privacy arising out of Article 21's guarantee of the Right to Life. The case was PUCL v Union of India in 1997 I think (if googling you need to be careful as there are a number of PUCL cases). I'm sure there would have been cases interpreting this right since 1997 too but I don't know any offhand. Incidentally, some US Constitutional rights do apply to non-citizens as well, especially non-citizens within US jurisdiction (this is why there was so much argument about the precise jurisdictional status of Guantanamo Bay).
