including their biometrics, to American tech companies and foreign governments anyway,
Not sure which american pvt company demands bio-metrics. You give it US only if you need visa otherwise dont have to.
Also US Goverment cant cancel your Aadhaar or stop grains
cash and grain
Cash can go to account directly. Will the grains go to tummy directly?
tried to defame the programme
No one is trying to defame. Everyone is asking questions.
Recently, there was a spate of claims that the Aadhaar database was leaking information. That was not true though. A banking official had released the information, which was a criminal act. The fact remains that data can be stolen.
Says not leaked and stolen in the same sentence.
Aadhaar Database doesn't mean just the database, its the whole ecosystem. Just like how the credit of ecosystem goes yo Aadhaar, the failures of it too.
others do not
Not even a single quote or interview from the other side?
, especially when they appear to accomplish things in years that activism has not for decades
Just a statement. No facts.
Reacting to such concerns, the Supreme Court has stated that Aadhaar should not be made mandatory to receive benefits. Meanwhile, over the years, the processes of the Aadhaar system have been improving.
But is it being followed?
Aadhaar system to make tax evasion difficult. “There are 250 million PANs (permanent account numbers),” Nilekani says, but only about 40 million who file returns.
Not everyone who has a PAN has to file return.
People who fear Modi find this ominous. They say that the technology of Aadhaar makes it easy for a strongman like him to spy on his rivals and citizens. “The end of privacy,” they write in articles that have Modi appearing to peer into your private lives.
Trying to derail the debate by making it Anti Modi. The debate started much before modi got elected.
When the Unique Identification programme was launched in 2009 during the Congress regime, everyone thought it was only for the poor.
He missed the discussion about privacy which started the day the document got leaked.
