Every time I have seen Bill Gates praise Nandan Nilekani (the one who headed the Indian irrevocable and unchangeable “unique” ID program called Aadhaar) and the Aadhaar program itself (going purely by fake numbers put by UIDAI and the government), my beliefs have been strengthened — that Gates is mostly clueless and that he still pushes things that would monetarily benefit him or his friends, without any care toward how these affect the poorest and most vulnerable people in society.

We may probably be better off without philanthropy of this kind!
