Aadhaar isn’t progress – it’s dystopian and dangerous
I belong to the third world of the third world.<p>State called Uttar Pradesh.<p>If you consider India as 3rd world, then UP is 3rd world of India.<p>Here are the emotional benefits of Aadhar :<p>My parents don&#x27;t have to bribe the local gas connections distribution agents.<p>Which means,<p>No need to stay in long queue from 8 In the morning, not to get your cooking cylinder, but to pay the bribe.<p>Since the government has advertised the Direct Benefit far too much,on TV, on radio,  the middleman (distributer)  can&#x27;t cheat anymore.<p>This government markets everything and hence the poor and underprivileged has started questioning those the officials who don&#x27;t do their jobs or provide the things exactly as advertised.<p>The middleman I am talking about are not government employees directly,  but taking a distribution agency does involve  bribe payment.<p>Those middleman paid bribe  before 2014 government to get the agency, hoping that they will get the roi(i is bribe) within a few years.<p>2014 government single handedly has destroyed the corrupt ( who paid bribe)  middleman in gas distribution<p>Most of the proganda against this government is supported  people who felt entitled being part of a government job, (extra bribe )
because the Congress Government had created  deep corruption webs  for 60 years.<p>Notice a fun fact, Aadhar was introduced before 2013, before the election of 2014.<p>Not many these so called privacy and human rights activists stood up then.<p>All propaganda against Aadhar has been intensified only after the Aadhar number started saving money and stared to directly benefit people.<p>Coincidence?<p>Also, when the government decided to link Aadhar to the income tax returns, again these privacy activists have become active ?<p>Coincidence?<p>Remember, the old lady in a village in in 3rd world does not know about privacy, she is happy because now her 15  son does not need to stand and bribe the gas distribution agency and can study for a day extra.
