[The very crux, arguably, was pretty much pithily laid out by one Mr. Prasnna, a lawyer, at around 46 mins. He puts it just upfront: "Honestly the biggestest security threat comes from the government itself." Goes on to illustrate the spine-chilling prospects a bit, including the notion of "civil death" - though he does not talk of an individual's conduct being liable to be mapped in frightening details, till 48.40 mins.
Of course, there are other serious threats as well. "Authorised" and "unauthorised" accessing of the Aadhaar database by private parties for "licit" and "illicit" pecuniary gains. But by far the most dangerous threat comes from the custodian itself. Just do make no mistake. The BJP rep., rather fortunately, looked like a bumbling fool; who simply doesn't have a clue what to say when asked whether it's actually mandatory to link Aadhaar with one's bank account or mobile phone. His stock answer, unfailingly in a high-pitched tone, to any whatever query was that anyone raising a question about Aadhaar, whether a limited one or a something more fundamental, is by all means an "ant-national", an "apologist of (Islamist?) terrorists". That's the only thing he had apparently been coached to blurt out at the faintest hint of an opportunity. He'd have had cut a much sorrier figure but for the active backing of the admirably even-toned anchor - a self-confessed backer of the Aadhaar. The Congress rep. - the only other person representing a political party, btw, was fairly articulate; was allowed little time though. The way the BJP rep. went about hurling the charge of "anti-nationalism" with gay abandon should itself be a matter of profound concern, given the fact that this is the party which is at the helm right at this moment.] Centre's Aadhar Push I The Urban Debate WIth Faye D'Souza <https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=wgtbW033uk0&app=desktop>.
