“National Identity Cards and Human Dignity: A Theological Critique of Aadhaar by Jeff Shawn Jose takes a critical stand on the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and the Aadhaar card.Although the project of issuing Aadhaar had been proceeding in full vigour by the self-willed push of the UPA government in India, this research study is timely and pertinent. Its critical focus, especially basing on the Christian vision of human being as envisaged in the teachings of two prominent teachers of the Church, Thomas Aquinas and Pope John Paul II, offers us insights into the ideological flaws in the conception and execution of creating an Indian national identity marker in the form of Aadhaar card carried out through the creation of the UIDAI, even without the fundamentally required legislation… In spite of the practical benefits that any national or international identity markers could harness, through projects like Aadhaar adopted by the Indian government, their endorsement from a Christian point of view is problematic, as it has been well argued out in this excellent work…” (from the Foreword).
