Abstract

This article investigates the competing claims over privacy by the state and civil society as the digital dilemmas arise in the implementation of the Aadhaar Act, 2016 that poses a potential challenge to people’s right to privacy guaranteed under the Indian constitution. The objective is to examine how different sections, especially the marginals such as SC, ST, OBCs, minorities, and women perceive and practice privacy in enrolling for Aadhaar in India. This article has adopted a technique of ‘convenient sampling’ in conducting in-depth discussions with ‘open-ended questions’ during fieldwork in the Telangana state of India. The empirical evidence suggests that demographic factors such as class, caste, gender, and religion influence privacy in India. Further, the interpretation of the informants’ responses, on privacy and Aadhaar, indicates the prevailing ‘poverty of privacy’ rather than the ‘privacy paradox’ among the marginalized sections.
数字困境与边缘人排斥:从隐私悖论到隐私贫困的轨迹
本文调查了2016年Aadhaar法案实施过程中出现的数字困境,这对印度宪法保障的人民隐私权构成了潜在的挑战,国家和民间社会对隐私的竞争主张。目的是研究印度不同阶层,特别是边缘群体,如种姓、种姓、边远地区、少数民族和妇女,在注册Aadhaar时如何看待和实践隐私。本文采用了“方便抽样”的技术,在印度特伦甘纳邦的田野调查中与“开放式问题”进行了深入的讨论。经验证据表明,阶级、种姓、性别和宗教等人口因素影响着印度的隐私。此外,对举报人关于隐私和Aadhaar的回答的解释表明,在边缘化群体中,普遍存在的是“隐私的贫困”,而不是“隐私悖论”。
