The Talk
Aadhaar
One solution to the many problems of India: leakage, corruption, fakes, duplicates, ghosts, inefficiency, exclusion, tax evasion, black money, crime, money laundering, terror, illegal migration (hmmm, may be not that, but never mind), unemployment, hunger, credit, subsidy reduction or removal, bank accounts as financial inclusion, cashless transactions. And identification. (Not identity.)
Sadly, the solution seems loaded with problems. Coercion, illegality, digital footprints and personal data as the new property, private enterprise with personal data, function creep, biometric failures, national security risks, leaks, and the Attorney General for India asserting that people of this country do not have a right to privacy, and asking what makes us think we have absolute rights over our bodies.
