It is weird story that is in the realm of bizarre.
1. A Pakistani Spy Mohammad Akthar gets an Aadhaar using fake feeder documents (PoI and PoA)
2. Gets caught and ejected as persona non grata.
3. For *One year*, @UIDAI did not cancel his Aadhaar, till I reported it.

3. For *One year*, @UIDAI did not cancel his Aadhaar, till I reported it.
4. Both @ceo_uidai and @drvikashshukla was sent the email, but as usual they did not respond and simply deleted the Aadhaar issued to Akhtar.
5. However *One year* after the spy was thrown out, there was LPG and Bank accounts linked to that Aadhaar. How?
6. Did he come back?

7. Simply that *no one* verifies anything.
8. Show a print out, or get an OTP and get it linked. We must be first nation to pay LPG subsidy to a persona non-grata spy's ID.
9. So some random guy uses the spy's Aadhaar and does what he pleases.
10. Who is that Baijnath?

10. Who is that Baijnath?
11. No Idea.
12. If he does money laundering through that linked account, how will anyone trace him?
13. Exactly the same story repeats for Hanuman.
14. I mean, In india, Hanuman is a god, got an Aadhaar and got it cancelled 3 years ago.

15. Still folks keep linking their bank account to this random number.
16. How will anyone verify?
17. This idea that Aadhaar is *Good* ID proof on paper is so wrong, but everyone believes it
18. And no one wants to pay the cost of verifying it.
19. Why?

19. Why?
20. Just take IRCTC. The cost for just verifying an ID *alone* would cost 1000s of crores and hence not logistically viable.
21. So everyone cuts corners and everyone does "Jugaad".
22. This is institutional bandwidth problem and capacity problem.
23. Tech. won't fix it.

24. And if you force a tech. that has it's own issues on top of an already feeble capacity system, what you get is *even more mess*.
25. That is Aadhaar story so far.
26. Tried to improve state capacity (Good Intention), but good intention alone won't cut it.

27. When good intention (Originally) becomes a forcing function on a feeble system, things get worse than before because the feeble system amplifies the problems of the "forcing system".
