I wrote an analysis on how NRC will actually happen and the various stages in it in @LiveLawIndia.

Hint: Hyderabad (the 127 notices) is the template and not Assam.

And yes, #Aadhaar would be at the heart of it, with biometric blacklists of "D" Category.

Biometric blacklists are already a feature and @UIDAI has built it.

"We can not only cancel Aadhaar but also ensure through the offenders' biometric data that they never apply for it again, preventing their re-entry into the system,"

ndtv.com/india-news/aad…

Once marked as "D", the next step would be cancel the number and also the services that is linked with it, using the provisions of the Aadhaar act.

That means "all authentication" stops and all service that needs authentication (PDS) will stop!

4. This is why they insist on Biometric authentication and OTP authentication (a kill switch) for PDS, MNREGA and not because it allows any type of efficiency or savings.

It gets much better.

5. IRCTC wanting Aadhaar for travel? You can't even flee if you are marked as "D" Category by buying a train ticket online on your name. (The limit can always be reduced to 1 when NRC rolls out).

6. The only thing left is "Data sharing" of cancelled Aadhaar numbers aka "Data Exchange" framework for continuous feeds. When that is built, a "D" category person gets a civil death.

There is no need for a detention center as the country itself will be one.
