Freedom of Speech (including on the web) in India
As far as i know, we are all already compromised to the hilt. Might as well say, "to hell with it, do your worst, big brother!". On a related topic, the govt's uid scheme should be a two-way traceback right upto the PM, the President and the SC. It should like an ATM card, you plug it in and you should be able to yank every official, every bureaucrat, every politician, related to every department that reaches you in your specific locality, out of the shadows, to enable every uid card holder to identify, name and hold accountable through designated email ids every sob responsible for his/her bijli, sadak, paani, and living conditions. This is not improbable in this age of information technology, but there has to be good faith on the government's path and the will. Else the uid scheme is just another cog in the govt's juggernaut to crush individual freedom.
I have to repeat myself here because my point has been ignored entirely. I am saying that just as the uid number would reveal all information about a citizen including his dna to the government, so should it enable him to have direct access to every bureaucrat and politician governing him in the chain of command right up to the top through designated email ids and ATM like centres in every village, town and city. For e.g., the PDS guy responsible for the delivery of food grain to your area should not be comfortably wallowing in the shadows, you uid number should name and identify him, and enable you to approach him and the person heading the ministry under which he serves.
