The unique identification system is going on at full swing. On the whole this is what one seems to understand. Yet there is a lot of hesitation among the people in general. I know quite a lot of people who have said that you can wait for a few more years after all covering the vast country may even take decades who knows. Now this wouldn't serve the purpose of the UIDAI as this is too slow a process.
And that is not all. A lot of people are of the opinion (rightly so) that it doesn't seem to have anything for them. Rather it serves the government purposes. Of course, there is a future program of linking passports, ration cards and other smart cards with unique identification yet on the whole this may take some time.
A lot of people spend almost a couple of days or more in the hot sun trying out their luck to get their fingerprint and photographs. Of course, it is okay if there is something like an incentive to get enthusiastic about, but there is nothing at all for the masses.
Watchdog AADHAR has not been a benevolent AADHAR which most people can expectantly look for. It has more to do with policing people than any benefits. Of course, there are a lot of promises, but we people have been living with it for more than half a century. I am not saying that with each UIDAI you give a milky bar for people to enjoy, but at least some incentive could go a long way in getting the masses to rush to the booths. Why not a few kilos of rice or wheat as a starter for those getting the identification number.
In hindi it would be apt to say something like this.
Yeh kiska AADHAR hai, apane liye ya Sarkar ke liye?
Some people have started to receive the UIDAI cards and let us hope that we would get some better sometime later.
