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 ?

      For starters, you’re being churlish to people who are trying to answer your question. You’re wasting time and effort of other people when you have no interest in the answer, and being insulting to boot. If you want to vent / criticise the govt, go right ahead, quit beating around the bush.

            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.
