We have brought up reports of Aadhaar data entry errors and it's grave (sometimes, even life-threatening consequences). Here's some simple mathematics about the complex project of @UIDAI + #NRC_CAB (1/n)
A recent piece by @srajagopalan on the @livemint elaborates on the inevitability of errors and it's subsequent high costs of the #NRC_CAB.

Excerpts on the Aadhaar fiasco: "The State Of Aadhaar Report 2017-18 by IDinsight, covering 2,947 households, found that 8.8% of Aadhaar holders reported errors in their name, age, address or other information in their Aadhaar letter..." (3/n)
"..In the NRC, a spelling mistake can deprive one of citizenship and 8.8% affects over 120 million people..." (4/n)
".. If the Indian state outsources the project’s execution to an organization with capacity equalling Scandinavian government systems, with a very low error rate of 1%, 13.5 million Indians would still be erroneously excluded.." (5/n)
..13.5 million, @srajagopalan states, is "equalling the human displacement caused by Partition" (6/n)
With the assent to #NRC_CAB, is the nation ready to bear devastating repercussions equivalent to Partition once again? Are we really willing to march towards that doom? (n)
