The fact is that having an SSN and the person's name can be enough to literally take his identity and do whatever you want.

Or literally get a birth certificate and become a "US citizen".

It's a bit more complicated, but not impossible, to do that in the UK, Belgium and Germany as well. Probably other countries, too.

So you're all crying about India being dystopian while your own ID systems are completely fucked.
