Yes, subhash jee, it is true. But I think those who do not want disability to be part of UID, are denying one of the basic facts of their life...
Anyway, I also think UID is merely another addition to a long list of documents/numbers a person is required to have for proving his/her personhood/conditions for various purposes in Indian bureaucratic setup, so no point in having or not having disability included in it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of SC Vashishth Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 6:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] UID number and inclusion of Disability? Rajesh, a large number of persons with disabilities do not want their disability on their UID Cards. They want to be known by their name and number and not by their disability. Argument - when you don't write conditions such as Heart Problems, Knee Problems etc or Castes/categories such as SC/ST, then why disability which is just a condition that persons live with. This debate perhaps has led to UID dropping disability from the face of the card. Another issue - UID's legal mandate doesn't require it to be a replacing document for various other certificates such as a disability certificate. This also has a politics of maintaining relevance of certain departments/ministries that have a stake in the disability. And they do not want to let go their importance. Since, if every important information comes on UID then they fear it might render them redundant such as a PAN Card (Separate Ministry), Ration Card (Separate Ministry), (Disability Certificate (Min. of Health) etc......
