Aadhaar: What It Proves, What It Doesn't And Where The Confusion Really Lies
Last Updated: Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which was set up on January 28, 2009 In India, the Aadhaar card is often treated like a master key, proof of everything from your name to your nationality. But here's the thing: that's not what Aadhaar was designed for. And despite over 140 crore cards being issued since its inception, most people still aren't clear on what it can and can't do. Let's break this down. What Exactly Is Aadhaar? Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which was set up on January 28, 2009, by the UPA government. The project was spearheaded by Nandan Nilekani, who envisioned a digital ID system built on biometric verification, online authentication, and e-KYC. The first Aadhaar number was issued to Ranjana Sonawane, a woman from Maharashtra's Nandurbar district, on September 29, 2010. Since then, it has grown into the largest biometric identity project in the world. Interestingly, the project was initially called the UID Project (Unique Identification Number). The name 'Aadhaar', meaning foundation, was proposed by Nilekani and his core team, and cleared by the Planning Commission and the Prime Minister's Office. Why Aadhaar Was Created The Aadhaar project had clear goals: In short, it was never meant to be a catch-all document, but a tool to streamline public service delivery. What Does Aadhaar Verify If you've ever used your Aadhaar for verification, here's what it's actually confirming: Your Identity – name, photograph, and biometrics (fingerprints, iris scan) Your Address – as submitted at the time of registration That's it. No more, no less. What Aadhaar Does Not Prove This is where most of the misunderstanding creeps in: It does NOT prove citizenship. Just having an Aadhaar number doesn't make you an Indian citizen. Even foreigners residing in India for more than 182 days in the past year are eligible to apply. It does NOT prove your income. There's no financial data attached to your Aadhaar. It does NOT verify your date of birth with legal weight. While Aadhaar carries a date of birth, it's not accepted as final proof in courts, for government jobs, or pension eligibility. A birth certificate or a Class 10 marksheet is required. It does NOT confirm caste, religion, or marital status. None of these are part of Aadhaar's data structure. Where Aadhaar Is Accepted Despite its limitations, Aadhaar plays a big role in day-to-day bureaucracy. It's accepted: Where Aadhaar Is Not Enough There are situations where Aadhaar simply doesn't cut it: Whether for passport issuance or NRC processes, Aadhaar isn't considered a valid document to prove you're Indian. For court matters or official documentation, only a birth certificate or academic records are accepted. You'll need a caste certificate or an income certificate issued separately. What Government And Courts Say Even UIDAI acknowledges that Aadhaar is only proof of identity and address, not citizenship. The Supreme Court, in its 2018 ruling, also made this clear. While the court upheld Aadhaar's use for welfare schemes and PAN linking, it struck down its mandatory use by private entities like telecom companies or banks.

The Missing Artisan – and Their Caste – in the Kohlapuri-Prada Conversation
A sandal resembling a Kohlapuri chappal in Prada's Spring-Summer 2026 collection has sparked multiple conversations around cultural appropriation. While the violence of cultural appropriation in the context of colonisation is well understood, the discourse in the subcontinent tends to brush over a far older and more troubling question that sits at the heart of subcontinental handicrafts – the erasure of the oppressed caste artisan from the centre of any conversation around the preservation of handicrafts, and the impact of that erasure on the value of the craft itself. Conversations about handcrafted leather in other countries often centre the skills of specific families or neighbourhoods of artisans, honed over generations, in processes like tanning, dyeing and stitching. Intellectual property concepts like Geographical Indications (GI) that seek to protect products whose quality or characteristics are tied to the location of their production also recognise that both natural and human factors can be tied to a region. While the Indian government has granted a GI tag to Kohlapuri chappals, the human factor – the artisans who make the Kohlapuri chappal – are rarely treated with the same reverence accorded to the makers of hand stitched leather goods in other parts of the world. In 2019, artisans (often from the Dalit Chambar community) in Maharashtra reportedly earned about Rs. 60 for a pair of handstitched chappals. Tanners (usually from the Dalit Dhor community) who make the unique vegetable dyed camel coloured leather used in Kohlapuri chappals are reportedly paid about Rs 240 per kilogram of hide processed. This apparent paradox where a craft is glorified by an urban elite, but the craftspersons are not, is not unusual in a caste-based society. Language In a traditional caste-based society, the material production of goods – including agriculture, animal rearing, weaving, tanning and the processing of wool – was largely done by the Sudra and Dalit castes while the so called upper castes reserved to themselves fields like administration, ritual knowledge and trading. Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd, in his classic work, Why I am Not a Hindu, points out how each Dalit-Bahujan caste was so rooted in its own production process that the language spoken by the caste was itself structured around that production. The Brahminical Telugu spoken by the 'upper' castes in his village did not even contain the vocabulary to describe the processes of production related to animal rearing or leather work. While the hierarchy of occupations coded into the traditional caste system dictated that all such work be treated as lower in status, or in the case of leather work, as impure, the goods produced were still essential to the upper castes. Hence the 'upper' castes permitted themselves to use goods produced by Dalits, including leather slippers, while simultaneously terming the tanners who made the leather and the artisans who crafted these slippers ritually impure. Castes that handle leather, in many states around India, were historically treated as untouchable. While the Constitution outlawed untouchability, this fundamentally casteist practice of placing artistic value on the goods produced without elevating the status of the artisans who make these goods has survived. Sanitising language like 'Indian handicrafts' has allowed an urban elite to wax eloquent about the beauty of these crafts while ignoring or sidelining the difficulties that are faced by the communities involved in every stage of production. Cattle, cows and violence Cattle traders in Maharashtra today (who are predominantly either Muslim or Dalit) remain subject to periodic violent attacks from Hindu fundamentalist 'vigilantes' while transporting cattle for slaughter. Dalit castes involved in the skinning of dead cattle have also been subjected to this brutal violence. In addition to direct violence, Dalits involved in the leather industry face the constant risk of legal proceedings and police harassment relating to cow slaughter. There is also a general lack of state support for tanneries in terms of funding, land, and infrastructure facilities with proper hygiene. Beyond material risks and financial exploitation, deep-rooted caste prejudice ensures the work is rarely treated with the respect it deserves, to the extent that the names of some castes historically involved in leatherwork are still used as slurs. In 2008, the Supreme Court held that the use of the word 'chamar' could be a punishable offence under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, if it was used with the intent to humiliate. In 2023, Pakistani cricketer and cricket commentator Wasim Akram drew intense criticism for using the word in a derogatory manner on air. Retailers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs The internet has helped some makers of Kohlapuri chappals speak about their craft, reach a market directly and bypass middlemen but it has also grown a new generation of (often 'upper' caste) online entrepreneurs whose businesses focus on promoting Indian crafts, but who tend to reserve to themselves control over aspects like investment, design and pricing. While the GI tag has been useful in concentrating attention to the specific districts of Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka where Kohlapuri chappals are made, conversations about the industry still tend to centre the voices of retailers and wholesale manufacturers who are often not from the same caste as the tanners or the artisans who stitch the slippers. From this perspective, the unwillingness of artisans to continue in this difficult line of work is generally dismissed as 'labour shortages' and the struggles faced by tanners are bucketed into raw material shortages. The caste linked barriers that prevent artisans and tanners from growing their own businesses and reaching the more lucrative parts of the value chain within the industry are also rarely discussed in the context of preserving the craft. This is not a problem limited to handicrafts. Multiple studies have found that Dalits are significantly underrepresented among entrepreneurs. Even when they own businesses, the enterprises they own are predominantly small. Also Read: Kolhapuri Chappals Walk the Prada Runway, Yet Local Artisans Get No Benefit From it Aseem Prakash demonstrates that Dalit entrepreneurs are also subjected to what is termed 'adverse inclusion' in the market. Adverse inclusion is a phenomenon where a market participant from an underprivileged community reaps lower returns on their capital investment, regardless of the quality and prices of the goods and services offered. His study of Dalit entrepreneurs and the restrictions they face offers several reasons for this, including upper caste officials blocking registration of Dalit owned businesses at the behest of upper caste competitors; competitors blocking the labour supply to Dalit businesses forcing them to seek labour from further away; upper caste bank officials restricting financing by telling Dalit entrepreneurs that they are not culturally suitable to successfully run certain businesses; and physical and legal threats to the business, forcing them to sell goods at cost to their upper caste competitors. While many Indian influencers have spoken of the failure of the government to adequately market handicrafts like Kohlapuri chappals abroad, there is a deeper issue at play. Due to the manner in which caste restrictions have seeped into modern entrepreneurship in India, Dalit craftsman or tanners are rarely placed in a position where they can become the face of the industry, decide on the direction of its growth or even explain the uniqueness of the craft, as masters of a craft honed over generations, to the world. When it comes to hand crafted goods like leather slippers, this is a particular loss. At the heart of marketing any product is a singular question – what makes this product special? In the case of Kohlapuri chappals, it is the specific tanning, dyeing and stitching processes, each honed with knowledge built over generations. And yet, the special nature of this knowledge cannot be explained convincingly unless the artisans are given the platform and resources to explain the evolution of their skills and lauded as the irreplaceable human factor that makes the product unique. If the artisans are financially exploited, sidelined and their skills treated within the Indian market as dispensable, or worse, degrading, it is unlikely that the rest of the world will accord these skills the respect that is their due.

Odisha launches scheme for development of rural road infrastructure
BHUBANESWAR: In a significant push to strengthen rural infrastructure, the Odisha government has launched a new scheme for improving roads in 142 rural Assembly constituencies in the state. The initiative will bridge critical connectivity gaps and provide better access to essential facilities like hospitals, educational institutions, markets, panchayat offices and tourist destinations. Although the state government has been prioritising development of communication facilities in rural areas, several roads under the Rural Development (RD) department continue to remain either neglected or underdeveloped. The constituencywise allocation (CWA) scheme has been designed to improve or construct roads that were left out previously or require immediate development due to various reasons. The department will carry out thorough supervision and monitoring to ensure quality and timely completion of works. According to the scheme guidelines, 142 rural Assembly constituencies out of 147 will be covered. Each constituency will receive an annual allocation of Rs 1 crore for construction or improvement of RD roads. A maximum of 20 road projects can be taken up in a constituency during a financial year, with the minimum value of Rs 5 lakh each.
