[Reader-list] PM constitutes hi-level Council to advise on UIDAI- 180

[Taha Mehmood]

Dear All

Now that UIDAI is slowing getting a formal structure. The story from
this point onwards, atleast from the government's perspective, may
include words like- procedures, processes, roles, responsibilities,
zones, deadlines, members, committees, reports, consultations and so
on. Without any visible or invisible mass opposition to the idea of a
national identity card, it appears as if the government is quietly
setting a frame within which public money will be transferred, the
industry is quietly putting up infrastructures to meet the demand of a
new product, which in standard industry lingo is referred to as 'maal'
and the our ever vigilant media organizations which is run by the
likes of Sardesais and Dutts and Sanghvis  and Guptas and Mehtas and
Jains are quietly doing their job by covering events of 'national
importance' like Rakhi ka swayamwar- Did you know that Rakhi will not
invite her mother? Did you know that Rakhi has forgiven her boyfriend?
Did you also know that with the coming up of Elesh, bald is in?

Regards

Taha
