The Government is trying to do the same thing with similar tactics as the US counterpart. They don't make any noise, or put any effort into making people aware of what is actually going to be done to them. As a result, there is virtually no media coverage, and only a couple of vigilant people who care about it are even aware of this.
They just barely mention it in passing, is ambiguous and can be interpreted however they want it to: http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=70747, like: "Hey, we are going to monitor every aspect of your life, and keep the records forever, and will be used against you for the interests of various corrupt people; in effect, shutting you up. No big deal :)"
