Chillingly, the 10 stages of #Aadhaar : India's enforced biometric ID.

#1. Classification: People are divided into 2 groups. Those who have #Aadhaar (the good people). And those who don't have Aadhaar (the bad people). We don't have this classification for any other ID in India.

#2 People are forced to self identify using #Aadhaar as a single centralized biometric ID, for everywhere they do, everything they have. It's linked to birth, death, marriage, ration, pension, bank, property, school, online shopping, app cab. This happens ONLY in a fascist state

#3 DISCRIMINATION: Citizens who resist #Aadhaar or are unable to get it due to systemic corruption don't get food ration, pension, pay checks, admission in schools & hospitals, their phones cut off & their bank accounts are frozen. They can't get marriage or death certificates.

#4 DEHUMANIZATION: People who do not have #Aadhaar are declared as non-existent or dead, and stripped of all basic rights including food, pay, pension, medicine - and
the basic right to live! The govt does not even acknowledge their existence!!

5. ORGANISATION: The Government creates special bodies like #UIDAI & #NITIAAYOG that function secretive lying & make & randomly enforce #Aadhaar linked rules on citizens overruling all official govt bodies, like the central bank #RBI meant2 make & implement rules in a democracy.

6. POLARIZATION: Those who don't have Aadhaars or whose #Aadhaar IDs are hijacked so they can't get food, pension, medicine or their phone or bank accounts are frozen, are called liars & cheats, & marginalized. And a vicious smear campaign is launched on them by the Aadhaarites.

7. ORGANIZATION: Police are already using #Aadhaar to personally identify individuals& use info for illegal & excessive actions that violate citizens rights. Out of state Immigrant workers here were hauled out of bed & had their cars & bikes confiscated👇
