Striving for legitimacy

I remember a dialogue by govinda(A popular actor of bollywood in the 90's) in some movie of his where he declares first two floors of a multistory building as illegal. In india a majority of people err and brush the law in a wrong way either wantonly or due to ignorance.

I remember another incident where a son of a leading political figure of yesteryear declare that his father is illegitimate, after DNA tests confirm that he indeed is his fathers son, something which his mother claimed all along, and his father denied.(illegitimate father of a legitimate son)

Free dictionary defines illegitimate as

a. Being against established or accepted rules and standards

In India, Seemingly lawless state and constant media hype over issues big and small has resulted in more awareness among the people.

People strive for legitimacy and want things like money, land, buildings and marriages to be pucca (legal,regular holding,legitimate ownership and solemnized by the society respectively).

Most of the agricultural land in the country is documented in paper which is getting eaten by pests fast. Digitization of land records is seeing resistance from landlords. Buildings are getting constructed without any concurrence with plan.....

Without legitimate holding there is more orphan money. When black money gets created it gets used in lavish spending under constant fear of the law. Sahara episode showed that improper documentation and inadequate KYC lead to people loosing their hard earned money. Undocumented people without proper addresses(read land or buildings) are hard to trace. Supreme court is scratching its head over how it can return money taken(by Sahara)from people when even their names are not properly documented let alone addresses.

Aadhaar(unique identification number) can act as a financial address and a point in space which can map to a person on earth one to one. From there any money that person earns can be returned to him in case it needs to be. Not only this any land or building record with aadhaar number seeded will be easier to establish ownership of.
Hence many city corporations and transport departments etc are going for linking building records and driving licenses with UID-Aadhaar.
