Right to Privacy a Fundamental Right, Says Indian Supreme Court

I think it comes down to whether citizens are coerced to part with their personal information or not. If I need access to state programs of food, clothing, shelter, I should be willing to abide by regulations that make it easier to deliver these benefits.

Aadhaar as of now is a direct coercion to part with biometrics and has inadequate features to protect against identity theft. Not having aadhaar means not getting driving license, passport, marriage license etc.

I am sure you meant marriage certificate, everybody has an undeniable license to marry :D

While I know you were making fun of the word 'license', what you claim is not true legally in India.

Well, gay people cannot marry, so that's definitely not everybody.

Right, that's a big blot right now. I am hopeful this is going to change sooner than later, maybe through fierce campaigning.
