If biometrics is not accurate, then it is very good. Anyway we want the failure of Aadhaar. If it cannot uniquely identify a person, we have to be happy. I will only take aadhaar when universal healthcare insurance is implemented. Govt wants us to give up our privacy without giving us anything in return. The ration cards were supposed to be not duplicatable but we have dealth with that, now we will deal with aadhaar also. Deuplication of cards maybe creating leakage, but it helps preserve our privacy. Leakage is being used as a propaganda so that we sacrifice our privacy. When the private keys of aadhaar leaks, it will be useless. When privacy advocates like Snowden joins aadhaar authority, it will cause disruption.

We dont need aadhaar, dismiss all the members in the authority, and wipe the database. Nandan Nilekani wants to improve our lives, but he is without principles. First, he does not believe in democracy evidenced by his position as cabinet minister without participating in election. Also, he does not believe in privacy and constitutional rights. He is unconcerned that the aadhaar is going to cancel our constitutional rights.
UIDAI was never designed for India & Indians. It is for Western govts to hold our information and use of western MNC for their various market research and more profiteering.
This is going to be one of biggest scam(not in terms of amount but in terms of people cheated).
This article NEEDS wide spread dissemination and discussion. It seems to be a very good analysis of what is going on. With all the 'snoopings' going on else where' perhaps there was no need for UIDAI to augment the data for the snoopers'benifit or was the UIDAI an extension of the snoops?. MAY THE TRIBE OF SNOWDEN and ASSANGE INCREASE !

UIDAI is cheap level of congress. Aadhaar card of citizen was found on road side and all the information in these is not secure. Congress is giving subsady to gas, if you have only UIDAI card, so that congress can show that they have done great by introducing this card. cheap corrupt congress. Jai India Jai indian
Unique identification authority of India has disappointed this country. OBAMA administration and whites had infiltrated in our potential data of security. Globalization had penetrated through computer towards poverty.
