> Then what, who will use those data ? Thieves ? Criminals ? If it's just that well, that's a minor inconvenience.

It's only a minor inconvenience if you can sit in a comfortable place and pontificate on Hacker News about these things. Seems like you're not even aware that people have already lost their pension money or bank account balances or didn't get food that they were entitled to and died in the process — everything related to the coercion in the Aadhaar system and how it can be misused by others for fraudulent purposes.

Perhaps your privilege in life is standing in the way of understanding how bad things are with the Aadhaar system. Please search for #AadhaarFail on Twitter, look for articles on scroll.in and thewire.in (two sites that some people do hate) and rethinkaadhaar.in.

Now I'm reading my comment again, I see how I offensed some people here. My idea was more like "globally thinking", like in "geopolitics", in that case, even a few deaths is not much (it's like people who allocate money for cancer research : they have to make sure the population is globally better; it doesn't mean every one should get out alive). And my wording was rather poor. Sorry it was absolutely not the idea I wanted to convey. Mea culpa.
