are you aware of the sale of Aadhar biometric data on the internet? There have been so many leaks at this point that it is borderline funny.

In good faith, how can you look at that and say that Aadhar data has been used for the benefit of citizens?

Despite often being "not mandatory", reality will disagree with you.

Ah, yes. The difference between theory and practice doesn't matter when it is one's pet theory being discussed.
