Why is Aadhaar becoming mandatory even for those who want to carry on their lives without it?
You see, all have to understand Aadhaar in a broader context and also the purposes for which Aadhaar can be used and where all Aadhaar can be applied. Aadhaar gives a credible identity, compared to the quality of the various identity documents that are used traditionally in the country. Because what we have seen in many studies where you take any identity document, immediately lot of fake, duplicate and bogus documents starts floating in the market. And then it creates its own complications. If the fake identity is used to get subsidies or service deliveries, it leads to leakage of that money, funds get diverted. If the fake identity is used for getting some other services where subsidies are not involved, then the quality of those services gets affected.
