It will next year, when Modi will have enough people in Loksabha and Rajya Sabha. Congress is not going to oppose it. Or may be they will. Who cares.!!!
Why is the Author Afraid of Aadhar? It it because it is expected to know everything about its people and that would mean better enforement of tax rules and criminal rules. Yes it is a risk keeping everyones data in one place. But is it also that difficult to safe guard it? Afterall, all data are going to be accessed by an interface. Also this interface does not provide details about a person. It simply confirms a data provided by a consumer. Example , if a bank wants to confirm the Address , Name and Phone number of a person to be correct, they will pass this information with his Aadhar number. The system will take this info and checks against the database and comes back with a result YES/NO. As you can note there is not personal info retrieved from Database, instead only data is confirmed. All of the citizens data are going to reside behind firewalls that are behind firewalls and encrypted and accessed by disconnected services. SO i am not sure why the Author is spreading this unfounded panic amoung people.
If people are still not convinced, they can ask UIDAI to share the security features and how it is protected and accessed. That way everyone is clear.

I donot as much as many will not share the authors view. In fact your credit / debit card information is misused by some people for some time only to be caught if your are vigilant and complain of any thing wrong.Like wise for normal law abiding citizens Adhar is very safe.Neither your property nor your assests will be even remotely be affected by Adhar card, because your presence is needed for any major transaction.But if one is not vigilant, your pocket can be picked, chain can be snatched, you can be robbed.In fact by the same logic one can argue that break of your car can fail, sun radiation van cause cancer, pipe water can if condef without purification van cause stock ache, a meteors can fall on city.The author has wasted.his time and ours

Its not just your date. If you call your bank and want to reset your password and Mobile number they will confirm if you are you with your KYC (Know Your Customer) data. This is usually your Maiden Name, DOB, Your Name , Address etc. If this information is in other person's hands, they can get your password sent to their address and access your account online and trnasfer out money. Likewise they can also take loan on your name and check delivered to someone and they resell the property and abscond. India is still not fully connected, but there is quite some amount of damage that can be caused. But Aadhar does not share your data. It collects it and store in a place. When someone wants to check if you are who you claim you are, they have to first have yourinformation to check against the Database. The system itself does not share this data publically. It only validates the information you provided to the system. Its like a challenge - response system. You challenge the system with some info and the system responds with Yes/No answers.
All actions by govt. is of tax collection and accountability of masses, whereas govt. is run by Govt. servants in succession, politicians and Judicial/Police system, all the three elements are non accountable. Basic issue is why one should pay taxes, just to appease voters with scooty, laptop or colour TV in Bihar, or to subsidies for vote bank, or to pay DA linked perqs. pension of govt. servants and politicians. Hardly any money is left for people. Every where intention of govt. is to punish people by way of more and more taxes with some reason or other.

Isn't we also part of this cycle? We accept the dole-out and they continue to waste tax payers money on someone else. Problem is not everyone is participating in the election process. Say 60% are educated and 40% are not educated. This 40% determine who comes to power and who does not. Only 25% of educated vote based on credibility of a candidate. So for political parties appeasing this 40% with items (Because They are mostly poor or always begging for something more and free) is easy and predictable. If all citizens vote, it will become difficult for political party to target one group and educated will not get swayed so easily, as their requirement is far difficult to satisfy. So by not voting we are part of the issue. I have not voted since 1997. I have moved around frequently and have not kept my VOTER ID current. But yesterday i finally apply for transfer of address to current address. i am voting for 2016 TN election and i will vote based on what i think is correct and if someone tried to give me cash/item i will take it, just to bankrupt them. I will gift it to an Orphanage.
