More evidence that so-called "savings" from Aadhaar link to food entitlements are really all about excluding people and denying their rights.

Most of the deleted ration cards were of real households, as repeatedly flagged. Exposes @BJP4Jharkhand@twitter.com govt's lies. Need for action on officials & compensation to the families. And @JharkhandCMO@twitter.com govt should immediately stop its ill-conceived plan to mass cancel cards (again). https://twitter.com/scroll_in/status/1230457051614048258

There are many precious lines in this review. So read it where people around are not likelyto judge you for giggling uncontrollably.https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/feb/19/capital-and-ideology-by-thomas-piketty-review-if-inequality-is-illegitimate-why-not-reduce-it "But Piketty’s theoretical innocence has always been part of his charm, and no doubt contributes to his mass-market appeal."

If the UIDAI is only concerned that forged documents were used to obtain an Aadhaar number, as it claims, why do the notices it sent out bother asking if the people can prove they entered India legally? https://thewire.in/government/uidai-illegal-immigrants-citizenship-enrolment via @thewire_in@twitter.com
This is entirely because of central government starving MNREGS of funds, even though it's required by law to make funds available, and state governments have been desperate for the funds!
