Produktbeschreibung
Identification vs profiling; state welfare vs state surveillance; privacy vs transparency -the idea of Aadhaar has bitterly polarized India since its launch eight years ago. No other project has captured the imagination of the people-or inspired such awe and anxiety-in recent memory.

It is equally the story of humans conflicted about complex choices that may make the world a better place.
