Modi Took a 180-Degree Turn on Aadhaar, But the ‘I Am Me’ Card’s Flaws Remain

In 2014, Narendra Modi referred to the Aadhaar programme as a “political gimmick”. Two years later, his government pushed the Aadhaar Act through parliament. In the last 10 years, while carefully maintaining that it is a “voluntary” programme, his government has slowly but surely ensured that Aadhaar is mandatory in all the ways that matter.
