No, not really.

1) never forget Indian ingenuity to break systems. Jugaad is the proper term.

2) the data itself is being faked already. In this thread there is a first hand account of people going to villages and making duplicate UID cards. 2 separate cards for each hand.

3) data has already been lost and stolen

4)overlaps. The current system already has some thing like 1 million to .1 million overlaps from one set of calculations I recall. On top of that you have overlap everytime a new generation gets added to the database.

Do you want to be the person with a faulty card in india? Do you want to see what happens to poor people who have no access to the net?
