When every Indian is asked to prove his nationality and his claim to Citizenship on the basis of documents - not just his own but also of his parents - then the State will have total control - ownership almost - of every citizen's life and liberty.
My father was a graduate employed in the Railways. I dont have a birth certifcate, never mind my late parents. the earliest document I can produce is school leaving cert from the lid 60s - and that does not have my full name on it. I'd have to bribe my way into #NCR
The whole #NPR / #NCR process seems ripe for #Corruption and #venality on a massive scale. I know many #NRI's (foreign citizens with #OCI status) who have an #Aadhar while being ineligible for it because they are non-residents. With bribery you can get any document you want
Honest Indians -regardless of religion - will be put to tremendous hardship - just like with #DeMonetisation - crooks will bribe their way through, and the #Netas and #Babus will grow fat on #venality. The best thing you can do with #NCR /#NPR is scrap it. NOW.
The best way out for the Government is to have a National Commission to inquire into the pros and cons, the costs and the benefits of a National Register of Citizens. Make recommendations to safeguard citizens' privacy and restrict Govt's access to all but aggregated data.
