*Say NO to UID Campaign *
Public Talk on the implications of the Unique ID project in India and the proposed National Identification Authority of India Bill 2010 Venue : Institute of Agricultural Technologists, off Queens Road, Bangalore Time : 3.30 pm Date : Friday 17th December 2010. Speaker : Usha Ramanathan, Independent Law researcher, New Delhi. In September this year the process of rolling out a highly controversial and least debated project - the Unique ID - has begun. There has been consistent opposition to this project and the responses from any of the authorities concerned are not forthcoming. Many demands have been raised from mass movements, civil society groups, eminent jurists, writers, researchers, and human rights activists raising serious concerns of the debilitating impacts such measures will have on urban and rural poor. The UID Project has cross-cuttin impacts on food security, MGNREGS (Right to Work), banking, public health, etc. What exactly does the UID project involve? What changes will it cause to one's life and livelihood? What are the issues relating to invasion of privacy? Who is proposing them and what are their interests? Has the UID project and the NID Bill been deeply debated across India in various local governments, legislatures, and other official forums? What is the position of the Finance Minsitry, Planning Commission and other concerned authorities about these initiatives? What the the implications to Citizenship? Has such an initiative been tried elsewhere in the world? And if so, what is the result? Usha Ramanathan will address these questions and concerns and will also offer a critique of the NIAI Bill 2010. We look forward to your active participation and support for this campaign.

The Nazis got these lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews. *SAY NO TO UID CAMPAIGN- SPREAD THE WORD AND JOIN FB GROUP* *http://aadhararticles.blogspot.com/ http://questioningaadhaar.blogspot.com/* http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=B67A798223F96E73 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
