I learnt about Aadhaar here about a month ago and was appalled at this technological nightmare, which (of course!) fucks over the poor and disadvantaged the most, with shit like “you cannot get an Aadhaar because you don’t have one”. I didn’t realize that this abomination could be cranked up to eleven too!
My suspicion is that this will lead to an “official” india and a “inofficial” one, with the inofficial part being ruled by gangs and crime syndicates with all the bullshit that comes with that.

It’s literally how India has been ruled for its independent history. Ruled by one family for almost 70 years. Pretty much half of our current parliament has some criminal history either in Murder and Rape, have given hateful and divisive speeches or in some way or the other related to their local gangsters.
