Usha Ramanathan

Usha Ramanathan, a sharp-witted human rights activist, dives into the contentious proposal to link voter IDs with Aadhaar. She raises critical questions about the supposed 'voluntary' nature of this linkage and its potential to lead to voter profiling and disenfranchisement. The discussion also highlights concerns over data privacy and the erosion of voter autonomy, particularly for marginalized communities. Ramanathan critiques the lack of transparency in the UID system and emphasizes the need for a democratic electoral process that prioritizes individual rights.
