As #Freedom2MapIndia is now a thing-Flashback into #SaveTheMap where community pushed back against draconion mapping law-Geospatial Information Regulation Bill, 2016.While decriminalisation of mapping is welcome step, communities must now keep a watch on pro-surveillance mapping 
So #Freedom2MapIndia is because big finance wants map data for #AgriFintech along with #SVAMITVA and land mapping #LandRights and deepen geospatial surveillance in general. #EmbeddedFintech driving policy, as can be seen with authorship of the policy with-in govt.

It started sometime in 2011, when I knew nothing, enrolled along with family.But our enrollment packets were lost, EID wasnt even searchable. I did write some emails to support, but yielded nothing more than, please enroll again. As the need wasn't real, did not enroll.
Parents gave up at a later date, enrolled, got UID successfully generated. I resisted, mostly because of laziness, but did not have developed trust enough to enroll. On random browsing sessions, have heard Usha Ramanathan on YouTube, but never took deep dive into issues.
