Not Just an Opinion

"We're all humans treat us as equals" cried a voice, terrified by the onslaught of his fellowmen, who had been captured by exalted officers working for the feudal lords of the land. The societies collapsed around the world. The redux of post-modern societies merged into a systematic complicity that led to chaotic disorder. However, this was different. Disconcerted, the people of the ransacked town of Sukma had gathered at night to share the plight and well-being of the community. The absence of the captured ones had the whole fraternity gripped in fear. The socially empowered feudal forces had evolved beyond a strength of the potential repair. This night of common truth had united the lost tribe.

Encircled around a fire. They sat down with subdued prudence. It was an occasion of geometric strength that the wild forest had never seen. There were echoing groans of wild animals in dampen atmosphere. The agony brought tears to the eyes of women who cradled their babies in a…

Inadequate laws, insecure network infrastructure, errors in authentication. This is not what your government wants you to acknowledge about the much-coveted project of Nandan Nilekani. A 12 digit number issued by Unique identification authority of India (UIDAI) is what government desperately needs to enforce order into the system that is depilated at the expense of multiple fake accounts. The question is are they actually able to achieve that with Aadhar or is it just another farce at play.

In an attempt to put up a face of robust and state of the art digital system for disposal of services that ensures cost-savings, denying services to the citizens who are not enrolled in an evasive set up of aadhar is one way to compromising individuals rights. Cancelling eligible beneficiaries and calling is savings is outrageous. Bursting this bubble of a greater good by putting the civil liberties at risk is highly derisive. Aadhar fall shorts on multiple fronts of privacy and security. data can…

If the machine of the government is of such nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Denial of treatment in government hospitals or no food for children enrolled in mid-day meal schemes, all the necessary means of survival could be denied. This is the reality of today. The government is clamping down heavily on rights of citizens, and there's a growing threat to civil liberties. If you want to build a toilet in your home with the assistance of Swacch Bharat scheme you need aadhar, if you are availing medical aid from Government or issuing a driver's license, then you must enrol for aadhar. From filing Income tax to issuing PAN card we need aadhar. By the time, you'll finish reading this post, the government would probably have linked couple more public services with aadhar. A system which was supposed to be purely voluntary for citizens is now turning into a quotidian exercise. India against aadhar…

Introduction Aadhaar, a populist brand name for a 12-digit Unique Identification Number issued by Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is the world's largest ID scheme. It is a biometrics-based Identification System which collects Iris scans, fingerprints of all ten fingers, and a photograph of the person. It also collects information such as name, gender, date of birth, the address of the individual, and optionally mobile and email address. This information is used to identify any individual uniquely.  This article will raise points on Aadhaar's security and privacy implications for 1/6th of world's population currently enrolled into its database.
Privacy Concern

There are many troublesome features, provisions, mandates and directives in Aadhar which make privacy of any citizen a myth. Furthermore, any non-compliance primarily results in either discrimination to non-holders or their criminalization (more details below, keep reading).

BJP has been sweeping polls across the states with a strong mandate. The resounding victory is a clear sign of carefully crafted election campaigns and election management strategy. The success story of BJP goes from massive public rallies, road shows of strength to thousands of whatsapp groups of BJP cadres to mobilise people into voting in favour of BJP. What was largely seen missing in other regional parties.

The level of strength has allowed BJP to go into polls without projecting a face of a regional leader. Domineering the states by unifying the opposition parties and taking them head on, BJP has knocked the doors of federalism in India. A case of strong centre backed with a equally cooperative state government. In believing so, it has ordinarily dismissed the voices on the other side.
