Proposed Amendments to the Registration of Births and Deaths Act Are Crafty and Underhanded

Beyond the surveillance-minded nature of the proposed amendments, the most concerning part is the issue of birth certificates becoming as mandatory as Aadhaar for voter identities, writes Srinivas Kodali.

Power has been less than stable the past year, third outage in past 4 months. If battery backup weren't so darn expensive I'd have it by now. They are incenting demand balancing, and with our solar production, it seems like a no brainer, but the cost is still significant and in ma at least now requires the batteries to behind a fire barrier. #solar #natgrid #battterybackup

The coming of an Orwellian state

A data protection law is meant to safeguard our privacy and should ideally give us more control over our personal information. But the version of the bill tabled in parliament last week empowers the central government to exempt any government agency from some or all of its provisions through a simple notification.

@Kumar_Sambhav This is the scariest shit I've read in a while. Surveillance is taking another flavour in India with #Aadhaar #FRT #NATGRID #CMS and #SocialMedia monitoring.

We need to stand up against this #BigBrother behaviour and defend our right to privacy.
