Why is it that the government and the UIDAI want everyone to have Aadhaar but cannot guarantee that the details connected to the UID wouldn’t be a hack away for those with the cyber tricks up their digital sleeves? Report after report on Aadhaar numbers and associated sensitive details such as bank account number, address, date of birth, photograph, PAN, etc, are being unwittingly leaked from various government websites haven’t caused the least fluster among those singing paeans of the UID. Only the UIDAI is authorised to take action in case of a security breach, even though complaints keep piling up. And will the UIDAI take action against the government whose websites are leaking confidential Aadhaar data? This is a security minefield waiting to blow up and yet, both the government and UIDAI are on a massive ego trip to bludgeon us with compulsory Aadhaar. What happens when Aadhaar is turned off with just an SMS notification to the user? His/her life comes to a grinding halt because s/he’s unable to avail any of the services that have been clandestinely and unconstitutionally linked to Aadhaar. Suspending or invalidating an Aadhaar number for no fault of the citizen leaves the citizen minus any ability to lead a normal life of work and commercial transactions, without any safety nets, whether online or offline. In other words, government wants to have the benefit of controlling citizen’s lives and by extension bodies via Aadhaar, but would have none of the responsibility once the edifice starts crumbling, as is already happening. The government is imposing digital and biometric tyranny on its own citizens, violating human rights and innumerable civil liberties in its bid to have total and absolute control of what we do, where we go, what we buy, how we travel, what we watch, what we eat, what we say, and whom we choose to mingle with. It’s typical of the patriarchal State to demand that we forfeit our freedom because it guarantees us benefits. But in a constitutional democracy, laws exist to protect the citizen from the tyrannical nature of the State, to see to it that we do not degenerate into textbook totalitarianism in the name of efficiency. That is why it is crucial that our constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms are not infringed in the pretext of bringing us a stronger government. Neither a smartphone, not a biometrics-based UID can, however, replace real and effective governance that is in sync with what the citizens want and need, without stepping on their rights. Hoodwinking the citizenry and turning it into a battalion of 1.3 billion virtual slaves is exactly what is on the cards if the Aadhaar is not discontinued, or at least ensuring that it remains a voluntary proof of identity and nothing more. more  

Government may consider to make Aadhar card as Citizenship card. It can officially declare it as mandatory and all transactions above a threshold amount (In PR China it is Yuan 1000 for all purchases) should be made mandatory through Aadhar number. Newly born also need to be given Aadhar number in a month time after the birth. If the word Aadhar is objectionable for Supreme Court, suitable name could be given. more  

I applied for adding a surname as is expected from us! Ack also came. period. Now I have decided to give up. As our Vedas say, what has to happen will happen, whether one likes it or not, as everything is predetermined as per karma( of both parties involved in the said transaction) I accept whatever happens more
