Is not this is sad for a country where millions do not have
proper toilets? What a waste of money! Millions more will be
spent to administer another huge bureaucracy. IDs will not solve
the problem of terrorism. In fact it will perhaps make it easier for
potential terrorists. If they can forge passports, credit cards
etc they can forge this one too. The world is going to the dogs.
I think only the coming catastrophes of global warning will
re-align the human brain with sanity.
What happens in India always has significance for Mauritius. We
have a tendency to imitate her. Soon Mauritius will introduce an
ID card with an embedded chip! It is strange that in Mauritius the
privacy of the ordinary mauritian is seldom discussed openly. We
do not realize that we leave electronic fingerprints everywhere.
Big brother is permanently in the background monitoring one's
movement pattern. The mobile phone can now become a listening
device even if it is switched off. This is why the prudent businessmen
remove the battery from their phones when attending important
meetings.
Please note the file size is 1218390 bytes! "Wikileaks' is an
interesting site because it publishes documents that are
"classified, censored or otherwise opaque to the public record".
No mauritian whistleblowers have published anything there....yet.
Confidential plans for 1.2 billion ID cards: Creating a Unique ID for every resident in India, Nov 2009
From Wikileaks (
Released November 13, 2009
Summary
This confidential working paper (49 pp) presents the current plan for India's Unique ID Databse Project. Numerous RTI (Right to Information ) petitions failed to obtain this document about the world's biggest citizen identification scheme.
Because the project will likely become a model for many countries the document is of global interest.
Jounalists can contact Nandan Nilekani, Chairman of UIDA, the Unique Identification Authority.

Are these the first bricks for the building of the Great Firewall
of India?
There is a very fine line between surveillance and spying. Now
the politicians will have a sophisticated system paid by the
taxpayer to spy on their opponents in the name of national
security. Just another tool to help them stay in power forever
if possible.
If India is copying Britain I am sure that, like the british, the indians
will soon be forced, when police ask for it, to spit out the private
key of encrypted data on their computers. Why not use the
money to improve the quality of life of the poor. Put one more
chapati on their plates everyday. The real cause of terrorism is
poverty and overpopulation.
This complements nicely the 1.2 billion ID cards mentions in the
previous post. It is a brave new putrid world.
India plans its own net snoop system
By Chris Williams
On the anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks, the Indian government
has announced its own version of the UK's Interception Modernisation
Programme (IMP) - a massive expansion of communications surveillance
for the internet age.
A pilot of the Centralised Monitoring System (CMS) will begin by June
next year, communications minister Gurudas Kamat said on Thursday.
Like IMP, CMS will see a network of monitoring probes inserted throughout
the country's fixed line and wireless communications networks.
Again like the British project, which is scheduled for completion in 2016,
CMS probes will be configured centrally and allow intelligence and law
enforcement agencies to easily intercept calls, texts and internet sessions.
