It has to passed from 40 years back. Anyhow it would have passed. So far there is not like anna brought this bill. Without IAC'S Or people's agitation this bill would have passed and became a burden for our country without giving any benefit(another bureacratic problem as you mentioned). But bringing this agitation to the street it helps to bring a strong useful legislation otherwise no bill at all. I hope you got my point, unless you can always put your counter view. But i pray at you to think again and please support this movement or just oppose a weak bill atleast..

Compelling.<br /><br />On UID - technically it's not totally dead yet. When I read the standing committee's cribs, the most startling to me was their assertion that there was no clear purpose. Wow, imagine such a huge undertaking and no one *really* knows what it was for (or so they claim). The other issue was related to a duplication of data collection efforts which lead to unnecessary costs. Here I totally agree with you that those costs are small compared to the govt's other socialist initiatives.<br /><br />They also took a risk by taking the huge, significant and admirable step of mapping out India's billion+ but making it a voluntary scheme! I assume they did this because it hadn't been ratified by Parliament. Clearly, they were asking for trouble.<br /><br />In theory, UID is a great idea, much better and more practical than the Lokpal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460565103147391578.post-71614546884796861202011-12-23T06:01:30.060+05:302011-12-23T06:01:30.060+05:30A good read!
