No. Biometrics aren't passwords. They're identification. Just as your picture identifies who you are. As for the later part I feel that, again, the DMV already takes our biometric data, and I would think the same could apply for people in India. Someone is issuing passports, someone has to create valid means of identification. I mean how else is the government dispensing welfare, social aid, or making sure they're accounting for taxes properly. Looking at how the Aadhar authentication process works indeed the biometric data is being validated by the government.
