The real purpose of Aadhar is to leverage what technology is good at - remembering things, crunching numbers, matching patterns etc. You can see how the members of Team Anna is being targeted by the government machinery - Aadhar makes such targeted ad hominem attacks ridiculously easy. What Aadhar is intended to solve is not India's problems, but the problems of the "ruling class". Binand PS: "Somebody who once met V. S. Achuthanandan once had more than Rs. 1 crore in his bank account. Hence VS is corrupt" - happening in Kerala currently. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
