🇮🇳 A serious and tough look at how India’s flagship #DPI (including #Aadhar and UPI) actually are not “public” infrastructure, either conventionally or in the #DigitalCommons sense:

• “key operational functions […] are delegated to private companies”
• “the core infrastructure remains a black box”
