| No Images? Click here  Today marks a year since the Supreme Court verdict on the on the constitutional validity of Aadhaar. Huffpost India's Gopal Sathe writes that while the order should have checked the proliferation of Aadhaar, unclear guidelines and misinformation meant that Indians may be even worse off than before. Meanwhile, Betwa Sharma reports that in Kashmir, the government has been trying to airbrush reality by forcing bus drivers to keep plying their buses and forcing shop keepers to keep their shops open. In happier news, we have the best 'lipstickle' in case you were planning to buy some lipstick over the weekend. Also, our counterparts in Huffpost UK asked experts about the science behind the perfect nap. So, if you're planning to nap this weekend, we have you sorted. While Aadhaar has become a cause for exclusion, it’s still vulnerable to misuse and hasn’t ended fraud the way the government promised it would. Just last week, a case was filed in Ratlam against a sarpanch and other members of the gram panchayat, who obtained the Aadhaar cards of people in the village and linked that with their own fingerprints to operate the linked bank accounts.  Fifty-three days into the Kashmir lockdown, a cross-section of police sources, businessmen, shop owners, and trade associations said the Indian government has sought to stage an elaborate reality show to normalise an unprecedented coercive campaign against the region’s civilian populace.So vigorous has been the administration’s attempt to airbrush reality that locals joke that even the barriers erected along Srinagar’s thoroughfares are meant to create fake traffic jams.
