Definition
This is a word we will be hearing a lot in the near future. AADHAR means "support" and/or "foundation" and is the name for the ambitious project to give every Indian a unique 12 digit identifier based on fingerprint and biometric information. This is the kind of enthu cutlet project we love.
While it will be fraught with challenges, in a country where identity is always mediated through group associations (caste, religion etc.), this is the first attempt at viewing Indians as a collection of individuals. All types of Indians - from naughty indian uncles to sandra from bandras to sofa sadhus to tapori types will have an ID card. 2.4 billion eyes will be scanned.
