- Jijeesh Pb spending tax payers money money with no feasibility study, no technical feasibility study, no cost-benefit analysis, prior launch study and enabling law definitely a scam.
  even a Detailed Project Report ws prepared in only in April 2011, 2 years aftr d project took off.
  importing a project abandoned by the world without discussion inside or outside parliament is a crime.

- Sankara Menon let me put it simply. Identifying a citizen by a number and not a name that will indicate religion or caste will be a step towards REAL secularism. I am aware of the security dangers. One does not run away from a problem because they are there. We FIND a solution. It is those who fear that the present biased system that is a misnomer for real secularism will be lost that oppose this. The leftists oppose because they fear that with meritocracy they will loose out; there are politicians afraid that their vote banks will be lost. But fr a resurgant India Aadhaar with the right checks and balances will be the way forward

- Jijeesh Pb Reasons:
  1. project is basically antidemocratic: no govt has d right to open a file on each and every resident of the country
  2.centralised massive databases r historically dangerous (remember how d census data base stored by IBM Co. was utilised by Hitler during holocaust)
  3. there is no means to store the data securely. the CIA, mossad, Japanese defence indutry databases were hacked. Germany's biometric ID card ws hacked live on TV by chaos computer club. (UK dismantled d hard disks that stored data collected for UK ID project at industrial shredder)
  4.Biometrics as pointed out by the parliamentary standing committee is an untested, unreliable,unproven & unsafe technology. NIST, NRC of d US, men from NPL of UK, London School of economics study on UK ID project, men from Londeon School of business, san Joe University of US and all testify this
  5.Financial burden is unpredictably high
  6. data loss a, data theft and data abuse are difficult to deal with
  7. loss of biometric details would lead to permanent Identity Loss

  9. it cannot solve the issue of corruption and leakages in welfare schemes, for corruption occur not form ID cards but from structural and administrative in adequacies
  10. there are cheaper alternatives like holograms to make ID cards that cannot be forged.
  11. finger prints can be forged in less than a $
  12. iris scans would not be stable ijn variable lighting conditions (that is why UK Id project dropped Iris scans from their project)
  13. involvement of private players run the risk of data loss, misuse, market intrusion and even endanger national security.
  14. allowing foreign agencies of dubious nexus with foreign intelligence agencies like CIA, ISI would be fatal for national security

  16. how can v expect aadhaar to verify identities in villages that have no acces to electricity or internet connectivity
  17. equiping points of service provisions (say ration shops) with biometric intsruments and operators who have d technical know-how is just insane. it alone would cost lakhs and lakhs of crores (much higher than the total amount we spend for the entire PDS)
  19. the expense for AADHAAR is recurring expense for thousands of men are born each and evry second. it would be required to run permanent enrollment centres across the country to keep it update.
  20. aadhaarcannot prevent black money as it is stasshed abroad
  21. it will be threat to national security and would let TERRORIST GET FALSE IDs with its introducer system
  22. Study by London School of economics categorically shows that the use untested and unproven technologies would pose unprecedented risk to national security.
  23. error rates in biometric systems in India wld be as hogh as 25% for most of its people who are engaged in agri labours are not expected to have stable and clear biometric charecteristics like fingerfprints
