America doesn't have this. EU doesn't have this. AFAIK only UAE has such a comprehensive system. What countries are you talking about that takes mandatory 10-finger + retina scans of its citizens and compiles it into a single database?
India hasn't banned DDT which has been banned for decades in every other country. We have crippled infrastructure, severe poverty. Yet India has time and money to implement one of the most ambitious Universal ID systems in the world.
- abhishivsaxena 9y agoDDT isn't banned in most countries. It's actually recommended by WHO for INDOOR use in Malria control because it's the only viable option. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2006/pr50/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2006/pr50/en/ I was hoping to only hear Anti Aadhaar FUD in this thread. Had no idea you had your target set on DDT as well. As for comparision with USA/EU, India is a different country with different set of problem/challenges. Instead of Aping others we should apply our mind to the problem and come up with solution. Aadhaar is the best example of that.
- _nedR 9y agoI was referring to agricultural use which is banned worldwide except India and North Korea. WHO recommends poor countries to use DDT for malaria probably because people there are dying anyway from malaria. Would rich countries use it? Do you use it in your home? Again why India uses it in Agriculture when other alternatives exist?
