Nilekani Interview on CNN IBN

I just now finished watching this interview on CNN IBN's website. The interview was done with Nandan Nilekani about why India needs a Unique Identification project and does the project itself make any sense. And boy-oh-boy! I was not only impressed by Karan Thapar's interviewing skills but also by the people who have done such extensive research as to probe into so many minute details on Unique ID project and question its viability. Karan talks about many things from the economic benefit of the project to vulnerability of the database to hackers to taking examples of UK, US and other countries who have not gone ahead with similar projects in their country and questions the reasons why it will work in India.

The interview is simply amazing. All Nilekani was able to convey was that the concerns are legitimate and need to be addressed. Watch it! :-)
