alt Hacker NewsIn a country with dozens government supplied IDs, Aadhaar has been a godsend for the common man. It's one card to open a bank account, buy a SIM card, apply for a loan, enter an airport, or whatever.
I held out for many years due to privacy reasons. In the end, I changed my mind - its just immensely useful to the general public.

Congratulations! Your data is already sold out for Rs. 40 in black market! Also, why do you need aadhar to enter airport?
Now, the morons in charge are making it mandatory to book a gas cylinder as well. It’s like once a blind suddenly starts seeing, he wants to capture everything.
You just demonstrated first hand the point made by GP. When the supreme court ordered the Govt to cease making Aadhaar mandatory, they just responded by adding so much friction to daily life without Aadhaar that most people, including privacy conscious folks like you just gave in.
