Fake Aadhaar, PAN Cards a Click Away: Report https://www.moneylife.in/article/fake-aadhaar-pan-cards-a-click-away-report/70495.html 
Moneylife Digital Team 19 April 2023 Culled Electoral Rolls, unverified EVM/VVPAT voting and counting, fake Voter IDs and massive money and media power...  Comment by MGD: Aadhar is now being aggressively linked with Voter ID with the active involvement of ECI... This, despite strong opposition from domain experts and civil society.. Citizens Commission on Elections also took a strong stand against this.. Yet government and ECI bulldozed it through.. Comment by SSen:  This would go against the Supreme Court verdict in the Aadhaar case. I. Supreme Court had mandated linking with Aadhaar compulsorily with PAN
Card and the ITR filed.
II. It's use is mandatory also for availing any welfare scheme of the State. That's all.
It cannot be used compulsorily for any other purpose. Doing otherwise would be an act of violation.

Online fraudsters get creative, come up with newer ways to dupe people in Visakhapatnam https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/online-fraudsters-get-creative-come-up-with-newer-ways-to-dupe-people-in-visakhapatnam/article66166003.ece  November 22, 2022
The latest being Aadhaar card fraud, in which an accused fabricated an Aadhaar card of the victim without her knowledge, says Police Commissioner

For criminals, Aadhaar is the easiest tool to cheat or dupe anyone, including lenders and individuals. With Aadhaar, anyone can easily get a SIM card, open a bank account, and obtain various things. The reason is there are no real-time checks when one submits Aadhaar as ID proof .. In fact, earlier this month, the Union government admitted that nearly 6%, or more than 60mn (million) dead people, still hold their Aadhaar numbers since there is no provision to delete or deactivate these numbers.   https://moneylife.in/article/nearly-6-crore-dead-people-still-have-aadhaar-numbers-govt/70358.html

RFID surveillance technology used in State  (Meghalaya) for first time  https://highlandpost.com/rfid-surveillance-technology-used-in-state-for-first-time/
Journalists stopped short by their own mug-shots   April 18, 2023 in Meghalaya,

Hi-tech surveillance technology debuted today into this hill state with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) issued to tag every delegate and visitor including media persons entering the premises of Hotel Courtyard Marriott, here for the two-day Space Economy Leaders Meeting (SELM) precursor event.

Journalists were the first to come uncomfortably face to face with impact of RFID tracking when some of them nonchalantly wandering around the venue in the course of their work, found themselves stopped short by their own mug-shots, name and designation, suddenly appearing on a big monitoring screen at the entrance of the conference hall of the G20 meet, with the legend in bold caps, “NOT ALLOWED” under the photo...the press had already been instructed that they are permitted to enter the conference hall only to cover the inaugural session. They do not have permission to cover the technical session of the meeting...However reporters being reporters, it is routine for them to loiter around the main venue, even if they are not allowed inside, to catch any delegates for a quick comment and/or seek interviews. 

Statistics Show More Muslim Convicts than Hindu, But What's Behind these Numbers? https://thewire.in/rights/statistics-show-more-muslim-convicts-than-hindu-but-whats-behind-these-numbers  Malvika Tyagi Might socioeconomic and political factors and police prejudice explain the proportion of Muslims being higher in the total number of convicts in India vis-à-vis their population proportion in the country?

looking at the maximum percentages that Muslim convicts can take over the studied time period, Muslims comprised approximately 11.9%, 9.2%, 11.54%, 26.35%, 8.83% respectively of the population in each of the aforementioned states, but comprised approximately 22.8%, 19.2%, 31.6%, 52.8%, 28.8% of the convicts in these states.

I ran a simple OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression (an econometrics tool) that assessed the impact of socioeconomic and political factors (poverty, unemployment, educational level) on the ratio of Muslim to Hindu convicts. The control variable in the OLS regression was the Muslim population relative to the Hindu population. The preliminary results of the regression test  revealed that the number of Muslim convicts relative to Hindu is adversely affected or increased by the higher relative rural poverty and urban unemployment of the minority, but favourably affected or decreased by the higher relative education indicators of the minority. Furthermore, when a higher percentage of state legislative assembly seats are occupied by the minority community, their relative conviction is lower.

the Status of Policing in India Report (SPIR) of 2019, which categorically mentions that the data its researchers collected found that police personnel seem to hold a significant bias against Muslims.

Discussing the recent debate about the history and legacy of VD Savarakar, Professor Shruti Kapila says, "Today the struggle in India, the history wars in India, is about the future identity of India. This debate is not about the past, it is about what India stands for today and what is going to look like in the future." She further says that this debate is a "fringe, secretive and parallel movement to the mainstream nationalistic movement".
