I'd prefer ONE Indian Card which will serve the purpose of a national's identification for all social services provided by the government. The latter however raises the question of "which" government service is still usable by all Indians. > (iii) Why are names systematically mangled and details botched up, not at the > outset, but after they have been correctly recorded in the first instance? hmm.... dont forget that Indians take pride in their mother-tongue, so your name (with details included) will be "correctly recorded" in the State's local language and then transcribed to the National language and finally when its printed in the colonial lingua franca, you'd not recognize yourself even if your name bit your nose. -- .
