For every single benefit the government offers to the common people, beginning from the ration to the dole to anything, the government ask for your biometric data. What is the reason behind such a rule ?

Buddy, you’re on an international website. You seem to think you’re speaking to a bunch of fellow Indians.
I’m actually seeking to know more about what this biometric data is all about, and why would the government collect such data on a mass scale.
Biometric data is generally fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans. It’s used to uniquely identify users. This has the upside of preventing false identities and double dipping in benefits. Other effects (good or bad depends on perspective) is surveillance and control, which would allow Modi to further suppress political opponents and make it easier to stay in power.
Not only do you have a good understanding of the technology, but of Modi as well 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
