This is being pushed through in haste and rips a huge hole in privacy for its citizens. The Indian state and the agency managing this exercise (UIDAI) have refused to own up to responsibility for any breaches. They have even gone ahead and started punishing people who point out flaws in the scheme.

Centralizing biometric data and giving third parties access to it is a bad idea anyway.

Besides, in the confusion a large number of foreigners are likely to become citizens. This is a huge foul up and a live example of how badly thought through some government programs are.

Interesting comment.

I must say, the article is written from an economics perspective and does not consider any technical or design flaws whatsoever.
