Surveillance: Whether the Aadhaar Project creates or has tendency to create surveillance state and is, thus, unconstitutional on this ground? Education took us from thumb impression to signature Technology has taken us from signature to thumb impression, again 129) It may be remarked at the outset that the argument of surveillance draws sustenance, to a larger extent, from privacy rights as well. Therefore, the arguments which were addressed under this caption have traces of privacy also. However, these are discussed in the context of surveillance state argument. 130) It was submitted that Aadhaar project creates the architecture of a cradle to grave surveillance state and society. This means that it enables the State to profile citizens, track their movements, assess their habits and silently influence their behaviour throughout their lives.
