    It is the natural tendency of government to desire perfect records of private lives. History shows that no matter the laws, the result is abuse. https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/948999538731311105 …

        But that's not even the worst part. Once you are an admin, you can make ANYONE YOU CHOOSE an admin of the portal. You could be an Indian, or a foreign national, none of it matters – the Aadhaar database won’t ask. Access to data of 119,22,59,062 Indians.https://www.thequint.com/news/india/exclusive-aadhaar-dirty-secret-out-add-anyone-as-data-admin …

        Please keep your panic within you. Don't spread it in public. If you don't like aadhaar concept that's your opinion. Don't force your opinion on others. Just spreading rumors will not help you in maintaining your reputation. JAI HIND

        Is your passport 100% safe? Is your DL 100% safe? Is your Bank account 100% safe? NO... Because crime and criminals will always present in society. But that doesn't means we STOP using such things in fear of security breach

        Because some people from New generation thinks that they are the only one who take care of people's concerns. The government is sleeping and they are born for triggering revolution. Those people has no faith on democracy. Biased from the thoughts of left's and naxals

        Same stuff. Different country, Snowden. Can't believe this is happening. Apparently only less people in India will care about privacy.

        More worried now as a top industrialist gleefully said data is the new oil (black gold) that will be mined. Wonder why state forcing people to b defenceless as wolves pounce on them. #Aadhar

        So what you want to convey is it's all surveillance. #Aadhar is a surveillance mechanism of the govt of India

        Every government wants to stay in control.. They think these information are key to control the people.
