Lawyer Usha Ramanathan has been one of the most vociferous voices against the Unique Identification Authority of India's Aadhaar project. She represented petitioners in one of the many cases against the UIDAI that the Supreme Court collectively heard arguements this May. At a public talk, hosted by the Centre for Law and Policy Research in Bangalore, Ramanthan spoke about the numerous problematic facets of the biometric-based Aadhaar project. This 5-part series highlights some of those arguments.
Aadhaar will take India to an Orwellian reality. This is evidenced in a tender floated by the Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Limited - or BECIL. Under the Information & Broadcasting ministry, BECIL wants to establish a system that will plug into 'mobile insights platforms', including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, Playstore, email, news, blogs and more.
