Some people like to quote history and simultaneously think in actions taken at that time. Its better for the country and its people to realize that the times are changing and we need to do this in order to combat terrorists who are roaming freely amongst us. India being one of the places on the terrorists strike list, this measure needs to be taken. But this should also not involve any harassing and delay in providing the ID proofs. Also tampering of these cards should be made virtually impossible, otherwise they wouldn't serve any purpose.
