Is India's digital identity program — Aadhaar — helping the marginalized communities or is it working against them? Yoti's Digital Identity Fellow Subhashish Panigrahi discovers more in this first episode of the MarginalizedAadhaar Podcast. (read more about the fellowship at https://yotifellows.com) From its inception Aadhaar has been marketed by its makers as the most reliable identification for public benefits. But human rights advocates feel the other way. And they all the reasons to do so. Several facts suggest systemic exclusions for many of India's marginalized peoples and the aggressive push for including every person's private data on a database to finally use the same data for mass surveillance. Aadhaar has been oversimplified as a 12-digit unique number that can be used to authenticate at a point of service — government or private. However, it is tied to a person's biometric data like fingerprint and iris scan, and a range of personal data. The complex role that Aadhaar plays in the lives of some of the most marginalized communities is what Yoti Digital Identity Fellow Subhashish Panigrahi aims to study through the project MarginalizedAadhaar. In the first episode of this podcast, rights activist and author Raghu Godavar discusses about the systemic exclusions in the enrollment and use of Aadhaar. With help from Parsuram Harijan, Gori Keuta and Ratan Naik of the Taragan village of Nabarangpur dist., Odisha, India tell how they have been denied of food grains and ration for months and years. And finally, human rights lawyer and researcher Usha Ramanathan dissects Aadhaar's fundamental design to pinpoint the system issues with Aadhaar.
