Blog Entry Internet Researchers' Conference 2018 (IRC18): Offline - Call for Sessions
by Puthiya Purayil Sneha — published Sep 20, 2017 — last modified Nov 29, 2017 12:30 PM — filed under: , , ,
Does being offline necessarily mean being disconnected? Beyond anxieties such as FOMO, being offline is also seen as disengagement from a certain milieu of the digital (read: capital), an impediment to the way life is organised by and around technologies in general. However, being offline is not the exception, as examples of internet shutdown and acts on online censorship illustrate the persistence and often alarming regularity of the offline even for the ‘connected’ sections of the population. The *offline* is the theme of the third Internet Researchers' Conference (IRC18). We invite teams of two or more members to submit sessions proposals by Sunday, November 19 (final deadline). The session selection process is described below. The Conference will be hosted by the Sambhaavnaa Institute of Public Policy and Politics (Kandbari, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh) on February 22-24, 2018.

Blog Entry Critique of the Aadhaar Bill 2016
by Amber Sinha, Elonnai Hickok, Sumandro Chattapadhyay, Vanya Rakesh, and Vipul Kharbanda — published Mar 16, 2016 — last modified May 02, 2016 04:49 AM
The Lok Sabha passed the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill, 2016 on March 11, 2016, to give legislative basis to the Aadhaar number assigning being done by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). The Bill was introduced, by Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley, as a money bill, and there was no public consultation to evaluate the provisions therein even though there are very serious ramifications for the Right to Privacy and the Right to Association and Assembly. Since its inception in 2009, the UIDAI project has been shrouded in controversy due to various questions raised about privacy, technological limitations, security concerns, and legal basis. We have documented various concerns with the Aadhaar Bill 2016, as well as with the project at large.
