One day, when Krishna wanted to board an aeroplane, he was not allowed to! All because he did not have an identity card. Then his friends Garuda and Sesha took him to meet Lata-kumari in Guwahati, who told him the story of Anasuya and the Ashwini twins, and why Rishi Chavan made a rule that all gods should carry a dhvaja—a flag with each god’s very own symbol. Did Krishna get his identity card so he could ride the aeroplane finally? o Why are identity cards important, even for gods? o How can you tell a Deva from a Manava? o How would you find a particular god in a crowd of gods?

Religious Pluralism, State and Society in Asia
Author: Chiara Formichi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134575424
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
Taking a critical approach to the concept of ‘religious pluralism’, this book examines the dynamics of religious co-existence in Asia as they are directly addressed by governments, or indirectly managed by groups and individuals. It looks at the quality of relations that emerge in encounters among people of different religious traditions or among people who hold different visions within the same tradition. Chapters focus in particular on the places of everyday religious diversity in Asian societies in order to explore how religious groups have confronted new situations of religious diversity. The book goes on to explore the conditions under which active religious pluralism emerges (or not) from material contexts of diversity.

Identity Under The Lens AADHAAR, PRIVACY And The Indian Citizen
Author: Aditi Rathore
Publisher: Sankalp Publication
ISBN: 8119511840
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
: The book extensively navigates the complex realm of Aadhaar, India's biometric identification system, tracing its evolution from inception to the contemporary landscape. It underscores the government's initiatives to streamline services and combat fraud, particularly through Aadhaar's transformative impact on subsidy disbursement, exemplified by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and the PAHAL scheme. Despite showcasing Aadhaar's benefits, the narrative critically scrutinizes its drawbacks and challenges. Concerns ranging from fraud and data leaks to the potential vulnerability of centralized biometric data prompt crucial reflections on the system's security. The book provocatively addresses privacy concerns, particularly as Aadhaar details become linked with diverse services, revealing instances of unauthorized access and data misuse. The author illuminates the landscape of online threats and scams associated with Aadhaar, exposing the sale of data on websites and unauthorized access to personal information. Cases of unmatched biometrics and the exploitation potential within job-seeking platforms highlight the necessity for enhanced vigilance and stringent security protocols. The book offers an exhaustive exploration of Aadhaar's profound influence on India's identity domain. Balancing the acknowledgment of its merits with a candid exposure of pitfalls, the book presents a nuanced perspective on the complexities of Aadhaar. Real-life examples and critical analyses contribute to a comprehensive understanding, prompting essential questions about privacy, security, and the evolving dynamics of biometric identification in the digital era.
