OK Folks, I have gone through the entire document and so here is (hopefully) a simplified account of what Aadhaar is, what it is meant to and NOT meant to do, how it works, the privacy aspects etc. This thread is probably going to be long, so bear with me.
2/ For those who would like to read through the document, here is the link:

The document can be heavy reading for non technical folks, so let me try and simplify it here in this thread.

Given that one of the biggest problems in India was to prove one's identity, Aadhaar was conceived to do exactly that. The Aadhar strategy can be listed as follows:
1) UIDAI only provides identity linked to a person's demographic and biometric information.
4/
2) Aadhaar number provides identity NOT citizenship. All legal residents can get an Aadhaar card.
3) A pro-poor approach. Aadhaar hopes to enable India's poor and underprivileged by providing token-less, online, anytime anywhere authentication system.
5/
4) Enrolment of residents with proper verifications. This also includes ways and means to enrol those without proper documentation by means of "the introducer" model
5) Partnership model - partnerships with Registrars and Enrolling agencies through central/state govts.

Since I have the time, I am going through a White Paper on Aadhar (UADAI) and its architecture. It is something stupendous.

The sheer scale and the way it has been architected are brilliant.
I will see if I can put together a thread once I finish going through the document.
