Politicians will make money with or without the UID. Gopal Krishna should focus on bringing economic progression for the under priviledged sections of the society. Trying to create a controversy will not take us anywhere. Instead provide creative inputs to plugs deficiencies the UID might have.
We as a country have not progressed much in the last 60 years. While countries like South Korea, Japan and Germany which were in a worser state than India in 1940s progressed much ahead of us. South Koreans came to India in 1950s to understand India's 5 years policies and implement the same in their country. Now what matters is that South Korea now has moved from a developing nation to a developed nation while India still struggles with its indecisiveness and lack of progessive transparent polcies.

we need more people like you expressing views on rediff forums to counteract misinformation as in the above article.
Gopal Krishna is a dumb nut with no exposure nor brain.
Every developed nation has a unique ID number for its citizen. This ID is used to track taxes,credit history,provide social security, pensions,job opportunities,education,census and much more. India as a country has to have this unique number to provide a more efficient, less bureaucratic and a structured delivery mechanism of its policies to the right people.
There is definitely a cost involved in the rollout of this system, but the returns it provides far out weighs the cost involved. Its similar to building roads, there is a lot of money involved in building roads, but is it wise to say that the money spent of laying the road is wasted until the benefits of the investment is really understood? That is the problem with Gopal Krishna! who talks nonsense and uses Mahatma's name without understanding that Gandhi himself wanted a modern society reformed of our historical baggages of discrimination based on caste, religion, complexion, money etc. UID is a national integration tool and not a discrimination tool. Equating to Nazi's or South Africans apartheid shows poor judgemnt on part of Gopal Krishna. And Mr Gopal Krishna, if I use the same stupid rational of yours and ask Isnt your name discriminatory towards the Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs and other religious people. You are forcing people of other religion call you Hindu God's name.How Stupid
Thanks to Nilekani we have a world class company Infosys and you no

The criticism is spot on. There are two possible scenarios: (1) The UID project fails: The faiure will cost the citizens several billion dollars, most of which will be siphoned off by the politician-bureaucrat evil axis. However, this is a better scenario than the next one. (2) UID is successfully implemented. The politician-bureaucrat evil axis will still cream billions AND India will turn into a police state where your all your financial / legal / medical records will could called at the press of a key by any a*hole with a government title. Under the name of security / prevention of infiltration the government is cynically using technology not to improve the effciency of its services but the enhance its control over the affairs of the citizens. Nandan Nilekani was a diabolical choice to lead this initiative, for he is the poster boy of Indian middle classes with his IIT education and billion dollar net worth (it is of no consequence that he is just a glorified body shopper who benefitted from the imbalances in global currency valuations). This invasive, repressive scam must be stopped at all costs.

this idiot must know that in South Africa, things were entirely different. There were discriminatory passes which were to be carried all the time by Natal Indians.
Infact he is not idiot, he is an opportunist dragging the great Mahatma Gandhi' s name to rationalise his silly argument.
At some point in time may be in future , in our democracy, I pray God that there will be a strong leadership which will bring about 'Freedom of expression' but 'idiots are not worthy of expression' clause.
These fking idiots cause more damage to the society and the country - like media.
