Rethink Aadhaar, a non-partisan campaign concerned about the Aadhaar project, has raised serious queries, supported by documentary evidence, regarding the Aadhaar-bank linkage in the context of the death of a 64-year old widow, Premani Kunwar, due to hunger and exhaustion on 1 December 2017 in Danda block of Garhwa district in Jharkhand. The death underscores the vulnerability of the Aadhaar-bank integration system, which victimises the defenceless poor at the grassroots.
