The whole point of the system is to give a single confirmed Identity for citizens of India.

at this point the purpose of the exercise has been voided.

Saying that "the data has not been compromised" is a red herring, thats the case for when our biomterics are lost and our privacy breached which is a whole different issue with this database, one among many of its other problems.

At this point if the data is crud, whats the point of using this system?

Actually, having an Aadhar number does not imply that the person is a citizen - this is one of the statements present in the application form itself. So, it is possible for non-citizens to have an Aadhar number.

So Aadhar is meant for the whole world including our neighbouring citizens (and Intelligence agencies) of Pakistan and China ? Thank you for educating me, I didn't know that. Its truly wonderful and neighbourly that they get the convenience of self-registration without providing proof and customizing their bio-metrics during upload. Only Indian citizens should be held to a higher standard.
