Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

PRIVACY IS AN ALIEN CONCEPT !


Aadhar :  Supreme  Asks : What if  ?

---------------------------------------


Today’s DNA carries following news :









Justice Chandrachud remarked and asked advocate Shyam Divan :



·         This programme is not just the envy of North Korea but also the World Bank

·         The positive aspect of Aadhar is that for the first time there is a citizen-centric delivery of services . This is exactly the part of Aadhar that has been appreciated by economists

·         Let’s not stretch it too far. Ultimately we are all part of a highly networked World

·         The involvement of the Indian Government in developmental programmes is higher

·         The NHS ( in the UK ) may be an exception, but there is nothing like an MGNREGA there

·         The profiling of people and their private affairs cannot be allowed
·         What is the scope for misuse in the future ? That is important. But we cannot discount that the government can’t use it to ensure the identities of beneficiaries. If the aggregation is only for purpose of social welfare benefits, will that not pass muster ?


Dear Justice Shri Chandrachudji ,


There is no doubt you are bored listening to the same stale arguments re “ Privacy of Personal Affairs


But you are obliged to give a patient hearing to the advocates of the petitioners


That does not stop you from asking them to view the following video of the famous theoretical physicist , Dr. Michio Kaku , before the next date for hearing :






And , in case the advocates are wearing any FITNESS devices on their wrists, they may also want to find out what the ENTIRE WORLD knows about their private lives , by reading :

I think it is time to admit that :

Privacy will be an alien concept by 2020

 

 

Committee on proposed “ Data Protection Law “ ( headed by Shri B N Shrikrishna ) would also benefit by going through these links
