The riots in 1984 and in 2001 showed us how voter lists can, and will, be misused by people in power to their own benefit.
I'm not entirely opposed to a UID system in India, but the way its been legislated and implemented in the last few years is absolutely disgusting.
India has absolutely 0 laws when it comes to privacy. Who is accountable when your data is leaked? Its literally upto the Aadhar committee whether they prosecute any leak of data.
The real reason they did this was because of the performance gains from the approach - the ordering is just a nice side effect. Its an idea originally from PyPy afaik.
`OrderedDict` is now just a thin wrapper around `dict`.
i.e. if you want your code to be portable among different Python implementations then you should still use `OrderedDict`.
