Why Does the Government Want Birth and Death Certificates for Property Registration? https://thewire.in/tech/aadhaar-birth-and-death-certificates-property   Srinivas Kodali The Registration of Births and Deaths Amendment Bill is another backdoor to push Aadhaar on to the population, ignoring the protections given by the Supreme Court.

.. Linking Aadhaar to any system will make that system inherit the problems of Aadhaar.

Similar to how linking Aadhaar to your bank account allows fraudsters to steal your money using Aadhaar Enabled Payment System. An Aadhaar-based property records system will have a similar vulnerability.

The limitations the Supreme Court put on Aadhaar have been completely overturned by the government through its new laws. This allows private sector access to this data. Even with birth certificates, beyond the ideas of tracking the population, the government wants to share this data for the needs of the market. ..

Aadhaar has already been forced on the population at every point of life and there is no escaping this dystopian software monster. After forcing Aadhaar on welfare, banking, income tax, and voter IDs, the government is forcing it on property holders. If you want to inherit any property or own property, be prepared for this upcoming system.

No amount of court orders will stop this as the majority of people will be willing to submit to this illegal exercise.  

Message from Harsh Mander shared by AK on whatsapp

We returned last night after four harrowing days of bearing witness in Manipur. Nothing had prepared me for what we saw. Manipur is fully a war zone, with sophisticated rifles, mortars, bombs, and massive mobilisation of ordinary civilians, in which the state does nothing to restore peace, ensure justice, protect civilians, or assist people in camps in which children already are displaying signs of malnourishment; but instead is often perceived to be taking sides in what threatens to grow into a civil war.
On both sides entire villages have been razed to ashes.
We spent many hours in seven relief camps on both sides of the “border”, met scores of community leaders from both communities (and even were caught once within a few hundred metres of raging cross-fire). The grief, the rage and above all the hate are boundless.
I searched desperately for signs of hope, of peace and healing in the immediate future. I could find this only in stories we heard in the camps of people of the “other” community who helped save lives.
I grieve for our people. I grieve for our beleaguered, broken land. I rage for the malign governments that we have installed.

whatsapp message by AK: Sharing with all members. Yesterday, 29th July, 2023, between 300 pm to 700 pm, we had a very meaningful virtual meeting with many Manipuri women leaders and citizens, drawn from all sections of Manipur society - Naga, Kuki, Meitei - as also experts from outside the state.

Over 170 people participate din the discussion which went on for nearly 4 hours. The discussion was very frank and pointed and all along was held cordially and in a sensitive manner respecting the sentiments of people. We have had several rounds of discussions earlier with various sets of specialists in conflict management, including Doctors who are providing critical health care in the state. All the various discussions led to the sharing of the following set of demands which was read out during the meeting and all agreed. Keeping in mind the sensitivities of the subject and the critical situation prevailing in the state, we did not record the event. We are sharing the set of demands which were presented. We intend to release it to the media by afternoon today.

This event was held as part of the PUCL Dialogue series we had decided to start during the Bengaluru Convention.

We request colleagues to suggest ideas and themes to have future Dialogue sessions. The plan is to have 2 Dialogue virtual sessions a month, one on an issue of immediate importance; and another on a general issue in which we get an expert or experts to share their work and have discussions. The first of the Dialogues was about the Civil Society's role in advancing human rights and democratic rights during the Karnataka elections.

One of the themes suggested was to hold a detailed and informed discussion on the issue of "Basic Structure of India's Constitution". The current Director of the National Law School of India, Dr. Sudhir Krishnaswamy, whose doctoral work is on this theme had agreed to speak on this subject. Please suggest further themes to have future dialogues over
