[Reader-list] On my view of Nandan Nilkeni

[Bipin Trivedi]

Dear Taha,

What I feel is that your objection on UID on identity point view is
irrelevant and this intimated earlier also many times. When you have no
objection to disclose your identity with photo in case of college I-card,
driving license, passport, election card, voter card, pan card, census then
why only oppose for UID on identity. So, your point of identity you are
mentioning repeatedly itself is invalid. 

I have already given the reason that why UID is necessary in today
situation. Funds will be definitely require for that. I will give you
calculation about the financial aspects after few days. In today
technological age, the person wants your personnel data can assess easily
after getting your mobile number. If still fear about your privacy, please
stop using mobile, internet and other communication equipments and remain
safe at your home watching TV or reading books. If you go outside or for job
than also your privacy will reveal. Sorry, to write hard language but
looking to your possessive nature I am writing this.

And lastly where is Gujarat pogrom comes in the picture with this UID
project. I thought you are researcher, intelligent but with your few
questionable argument I have to reassess my thought about you.

Thanks
Bipin

Dear Bipin

Thank you for your mail.

I am glad that your mind is clear about UID. UID appears to giving
fake identities to Indians based on estimates. UID does not clarify
what it means by identity. It seems to be hell bent on deploying some
fuzzy idea of identity. Therefore it is quite clear that you are not
interested getting some sort of clarity by what is meant by individual
identity. It is also clear that you are in favor of a massive transfer
of funds for UID project. I am now beginning to feel that UID may
emerge has biggest exercise on earth in distributing fake identities
to people based on 'estimates'. So I am clear that you are clear that
UID must never be scrapped. UID is also clear that it is not it's
responsibility as far as the issue of safety of personal data is
concerned. Its the responsibility of contractors. After all in India
everyone is innocent till proven guilty. Chor toh wohi nah jo pakda
jai nah jigar! So it is clear that in days to come the market maybe
flooded with personal identities of millions of Indians. It's time to
have another Gujarat 2002. It's clear. Absolutely. Sir. It is clear
that UID is distributing fake identities. It is clear that funds are
going to be transferred. It is also clear that those funds can also be
transferred for other less important uses like building a network of
sewers. It is also clear that you are clear that it is okay for the
funds to go to fake purposes masquerading as original help. Good!

it seems Bipin we have reached some clarity after all, phew!

Thank you,

Happy sunday to you,

Warm regards

Taha
