indian median age is still 28, so there is still time to get relative "rich" ($8-10k per capita as china today) in the next 20-25 years.

I'm building a saas web app where web forum (like discourse, xenforo) admins can auto-create niche content using social media/reddit.

They are government employee, not a usual citizen. What is the relevance of that data after the lockdown? (They will be coming to the office every day like before)
ashwinm | 5 years ago | on: India orders coronavirus tracing app for all workers
This is only for government employees.

Adding to Indian mythological perspective, It views life in infinite terms. You are living in only one of the infinite number of life so why do you have to be in hurry?. Against western view of life as only one.

Why do everyone has to make it political?. Let them play the game. Others should focus on its actual merits and demerits.
ashwinm | 8 years ago | on: ‘Big Brother’ in India Requires Fingerprint Scans for Food, Phones and Finances
Seriously? If you dont have enough knowledge to add value dont jump in.
Educate yourself.

Again voter ID or ration card is not unique.

Demonentisation has nothing to do with cashless. it was an afterthought. So no connection to Aadhar.
So you are no different in making propaganda.
Aadhar is here to stay no matter how much fearmongerers whine. It's benefits outweighs risk. A good data protection law is what lacking.
ashwinm | 8 years ago | on: ‘Big Brother’ in India Requires Fingerprint Scans for Food, Phones and Finances
What leak exactly? What do anyone achieve by getting your number? Does this outweigh it benefits?
Now you want India to stop subsiding poor? Do you even know the level difference between US and India. And history of political/economic systems?
And who should be making solutions, Internet warriors like you ? Comparing US, then bend over and gives his DNA to get a tourist visa. Hay, I gave it voluntary !
ashwinm | 8 years ago | on: ‘Big Brother’ in India Requires Fingerprint Scans for Food, Phones and Finances
Mention of demonetisation explains your 'disturbance'.
Aadhar predates this government and it had 80% enrollment before their entry to power. So no need to make it political.

Where are you coming from ? I live in Bangalore and been to Delhi. Every shop including kirana's have wallet facilities. Now they are graduating to UPI. And its backed by statistics by RBI. Mobile payments increased 61% last year.[1]
Indian's are just like any other middle,lower-middle income society. They are careful where they spend money. Your parents are part of 'late majority' in the Diffusion of innovations curve [2]. Look what collage kids do not parents.

If you don't know where the bias is coming then how can you judge it objectively ? I will not take fox news or British tabloids seriously just like these guys.
It is not name calling when the editors have a history with the ideology. Its a common knowledge. If you ask them they will say the same (In india, its not a derogatory term) !.

It uses Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) not something you are referring to.
