What I want to say may be out of context, but shall say nevertheless. Just now heard on ICICI Bank's Economic Update that Piyush Goyal wants to introduce a single card for all businesses and

individuals by doing away with PAN, Aadhaar, TAN etc. I remember Advani in the Vajpaayee regime too promised to bring out a similar one called National Identity Card. Too bad, his idea did

not fructify. It is high time such a reform or small idea becomes a success. May this too be a part

of the rising Bharat.

i'm wondering if a single blockchain token/id can virtualize your identity so you can be pseudonymous. of course, you'll still need a passport for travel. i like the idea of psuedonymity: your degrees and other credentials don't matter, only your work product. what have you done before? is the only question. and you get to keep your personal data to yourself.

I entirely agree with your reply on farm laws . You took it out of my mind. Today's was a superb piece. Wish PM and Co. read it. I vaguely remember having seen Gail Omvedt and Kancha Ilaiah

writing letters or columns in The Hindu in the mid or late 80-s. And I saw a report about Prahlad Joshi having said that the oppn. just couldn't digest Modi's achievements . Well, one has to agree

with him. PM 's ( supporters, cadres, etc ) pride - Oppn.'s ( their ilk, biased media, people ) envy !

thanks. gail and kancha are/were soldiers of the church, openly working for balkanization. kancha is an OBC but pretends to be an SC/ST for rhetorical purposes, and now he's a convert, so i wonder if he's kept out of churches for being low caste.

Wish the farm laws were not retracted - they would have further empowered the Hindu masses held in thrall since the times of Khilji

i too wish they weren't, from a marketing perspective: that sends a bad signal about the State being soft and weak. but there's also the possibility that large-scale mayhem was being planned under the guise of farm riots: see the murders in amritsar and kapurthala.
