UID/adhaar is part of US military project
by kinggurudev on Oct 24, 2011 04:54 PM

UID/adhaar is part of US military project piloted through World Bank and with six transnational corporations, Gemalto, IBM, L-1 Identity Solutions, Microsoft and Pfizer, Intel and two national governments of France and South Korea. It has been stopped in Australia, China, Philippines, UK and the USA. In Pakistan, it has been implemented. Will someone reveal what has improved there?

Paid Hack
by Red Pascal on Jul 29, 2011 08:32 PM

Someone should see who is funding the author of these pieces that are only making allaegations and giving examples that are not linked- UID is not a census- it is not asking for caste or religion, so to link it with the Hitler and the Jews is being extremely liberal with the truth. Further the government actually does a census- where it does capture the religion of it's population- so that information is already with the government, so why do they need the UID for this info ? Never heard this author rail against the census. His repeated attacks on Nandan show that he has some axe to grind- someone needs to show this Gopal for waht he really is, not some activist, just a paid hack making his money by attacking what his paymaster is opposed to. And rediff is full of dimwits who interview such hacks and do not point out the inconsitencies in their statement.

dehumanizing ramifications of UID Number/Aadhaar
by kinggurudev on Apr 05, 2011 10:35 PM

indeed all history is contemporary history. when we move ahead on our legs, one leg is always behind...and the other is in future...By the time, we will know that such technologies have become quite widespread, it might be hard to change. A global technology based control regime is emerging. It will be great if we can exchange notes and support our respecting campaigns against the emerging universal identification architecture to combat threats to civil liberties and natural resources. Lovers of civil liberties must reveal the dehumanizing ramifications of such technological interference in human life.

Looking at history to tell about the future is like driving a car looking backwards...

Most of these countries that u talk about already have this kind of UID system...

UID fears

Nice try. By bringing up the spectre of the holocaust he's trying to add legitimacy to his efforts at demonizing the system as evil.
Yes, it has inherent dangers for misuse, but so does driving a car, but which is totally legal. Fact is, without such a system, no one will be able to be identified with any degree of certainty, unless you live your entire life within a tiny community where everyone knows you, and you have no need for outside contact beyond this tiny group, which is totally unreal.
