    I went today(10/10/2011) to the office of UID in sector 26 at NOIDA for making UID for myself. I had taken with me voter card , my Army identity card, telephone bill as proof my identity and residence, but was told that UID cards are not being made at present. The process may restart after “Diwali”. I am an Indian since centuries and our country became independent in 1947 but we have no national citizenship cards whereas all the countries surrounding us have long issued such cards to their citizens. That is one of the reasons for our country becoming a soft target. Now tell me how can I get UID card?

    What people don’y realize is that the bio metric system is also being introduced and this technology will create DBMS to manage the info regarding people of India just what IBM did with the Nazi’s in the 2nd world war to keep an account of how many people were there in the death and slavery camps. Don’t forget Billions of Rupees of tax payers money is being used to create this whereas there are existing structures of identity cards which can come handy any where. And the government has added the small condition that one needs to get this card in order to receive govt services in order to make people take this card who don;t want them. This is done in order to justify its need and say ” how useful it is”..Yeah right!!

    People will realize these things after a decade or so when the real purpose of making this cards will be exposed. This is totally unconstitutional as it also invades into the bodily privacy of an individual without consent. How is this democracy or even a republic where government is making decisions for us without our permission like a totalitarian regime.

    How can you claim that it is not mandatory when different agencies have started insisting on an Aadhaar number before processing anything? As of now all Maharashtra govt. employees are REQUIRED to have an Aadhaar number for processing salaries. Nationalized banks will also start demanding an Aadhaar number before allowing an account to be opened. Soon you will need one for everything from getting a ration card to a gas connection to a passport; tell me how this doesn’t make it mandatory?
