UID: Questions without answers
a talk by Usha Ramanathan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date : Tuesday , 6th September 2011
Time : 6:15 PM

Venue : Materials Engineering Lecture theatre, IIsc bangalore

ABOUT THE TALK:
Several questions plague the UID project: about markers of identity,
exclusion, convergence, surveillance, privacy, the certainty of
biometrics, the companies involved, personal security, national
security, technological determinism, the lawlessness of the project.
These have been met with resounding silence. Voluntary? Not any more.
Limited protocol of information? Not any more. No sharing of
information, only a yes or no answer? Not any more. This talk will be
a discussion about what we do about questions that do not succeed in
eliciting answers.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER :

Usha Ramanathan is an independent law researcher. She has devoted her
attention to a number of specific issues such as the Bhopal gas
disaster, the Narmada valley dams, slum eviction in Delhi, corporate
accountability and lately the proposed UID, its implications for
freedom and rights.
