Achhe Din Ahead ???
The Rather Scary Side of the ADHAR
The Adhar ,most feel, is about privacy or data security.
If it were only this , probably we wouldn’t need to be so worried.
But there is a bigger danger -the danger of handing over your complete ‘Being’ in the hands of an ‘Unknown Entity’.
How ???
.
Let’s assume for a moment in what the western media has been propagating for some time now - a Civil War in next 10 years time in India ,has come true. And some anti-people group ,a pol party or worse the army manages a coup & takes the charge of the country.
What if they start picking on the ‘enemies’. You don’t need to be a criminal to be an enemy of the state . The Enemy could be anybody from rival politicians to businessmen to professionals to Govt servants to artists to innocent common man , in short anybody.
.
Since every individual’s biometrics are stored in the centralised database, there is no escaping from their clutches -
If being hounded ,you can’t mask your identity, make bank transactions, get a job, buy property, settle anywhere, get admission in educational institutions, travel etc without being tracked down in a matter of few seconds.
You can’t even hide behind an alias, they have your biometrics...
If you thought this is all .. you are mistaken ..it’s scarier than this ..
.
It’s like when a movie villain wants to get to the hero but is unable to , all he has to do is to abduct a family member & our hero falls right into the villain’s hands ..
Your UIDAI has all your family info ..
under such circumstances, just switching off your cell phone won’t help. Remember it’s not just you , even your family will become vulnerable.
.
You can be denied your existence in a matter of few seconds. You aren’t dead, but you can be termed dead.
.
Even your family members & relations can be extended the same denial of existence , if they don’t comply or give you in.
Anything , just anything, as small as a Tweet or FB post might draw an ire from someone in the authority and you ll be done .
You don’t have access to your own trail or data, but someone else has unilateral access to you, anytime.
.
Right Against Exploitation & Right to Privacy would be chucked from the constitution..
