NationalPeppyAadhaar Card For Ravan? UIDAI’s Hilarious ResponseBy Balraj Posted on October 1, 20176 min read001,609Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Google+Share on LinkedinThe Twitter handle for UIDAI, the statutory authority responsible for collecting the Aadhaar data, wishes everyone on the eve of Dussehra with an illustration of ten arrows piercing the ten heads of Raavan.A time when the world sees the power of good governance.Let us continue this true spirit with Aadhaar…#HappyDussehra pic.twitter.com/5KE5uVo1Dc— Aadhaar (@UIDAI) September 30, 2017The tweet had many replies, ranging from calling the concept of Aadhaar the best to questions about application. However, one user, #DestroyTheAadhaar, tried to troll the system, asking for its take on issuing an Aadhaar card to the demon-king of Sri Lanka, asking how many Aadhaar cards would be issued to him, given that his 10 heads and 10 pairs of iris could mean 100 cards.Sir how many Aadhaar can Ravan get? 10 faces * 10 iris pairs = 100 at least? #DestroyTheAadhaar https://t.co/b7BPAxIEuK— #DestroyTheAadhaar (@Stupidosaur) September 30, 2017The social team behind the scenes of the UIDAI Twitter handle was quite witty to respond and its response left the internet surprised at the sense of humour and also in fits of laughter. The humour behind the response was unexpected from a government body. The reply, to the question asking how many Aadhaar cards would be issued to Raavan, was that Raavan was not eligible for the enrollment in the Aadhaar since he is not a resident of India.Not a resident of India. Not eligible to enroll for Aadhaar.— Aadhaar (@UIDAI) September 30, 2017This left everyone in fits of laughter. The response had more than 3500 retweets and more than 4000 likes.Twitter users appreciated the team behind the scenes.Humans behind @UIDAI twitter handle, you deserve a bag full of jalebi for this. 😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/LRQlilV6ix— Theodore (@LekhakAnurag) September 30, 2017😂😂😂 the social media in charge of Aadhaar needs to be given a raise— Arjun Sethi (@Roguelost) September 30, 2017The user behind the handle #DestroyTheAadhaar seemed to have not gotten the burn. When another user asked about the issue of Gods and Goddess having multiple hands and therefore, multiple fingerprints, he was quick to jump at the opportunity again.Indeed. So many gods have so many heads and hands. How will Aadhaar curb leakage? The elite gods can mooch subsidy! https://t.co/dToJjFjj8d— #DestroyTheAadhaar (@Stupidosaur) September 30, 2017Other users were appreciative of the Aadhaar’s response.You seriously nailed it, folks. Excellent!!— Neethu (@2friendstweet) September 30, 2017Hilarious! #HappyDussehra Aadhaar ji 🙏— Piyu Nair 🇮🇳 (@DtPiyu) September 30, 2017Lol….trying to troll gets trolled on an epic level.— Abhishek (@IamAbhishek1106) September 30, 2017Reply of the day 😂— Shantanu (@shantanu2391710) September 30, 2017You killed the digital Ravan with this one tweet 🙂 Bravo #happydusshera #HappyVijayadashami— aJiT™⏺ (@oartija) September 30, 2017Aadhaar destroys 'Destroy the Aadhaar' 😂😂😂— Preetham K (@MightyIndian96) September 30, 2017@UIDAI : You nailed it. 😂✌️— Lakhan Gandhi (@Lakhan_Gandhi) September 30, 2017One user, at last, had the sense to point out the irrelevance of the whole argument, pointing out that Raavan was a fictional character.It's a fictional character. Get over it. 😁— Sachin Jani (@5achinJani) September 30, 2017There were many users commenting on the fact that many Nepalese and Bangladeshi citizens had an Aadhaar card too. Another helpful Twitter user cleared that doubt too, pointing out that it is just a proof of identity and not of citizenship.#Aadhaar PROTECTS ZERO RIGHTS OF INDIAN CITIZENS!!! It is part of #NIUs tht collect data for #EastIndiaCoVer2 to trade… #DataIsTheNewOpium pic.twitter.com/IIqmZRg5C2— Shanty Mathew (@InkstainedMind) September 30, 2017
