Some of the questions that we will seek to answer:

• How does the Aadhaar (judgment) affect democracy? 
  
• Why is Aadhaar exclusionary? 
  
• What are the laws that make Aadhaar a proof of identity and authorisation of financial and other transactions?
  

Legal analysis:

• Should fractured mandates with polarised views be heard by a larger bench?
  
• Can something declared as a constitutional fraud survive only on a numbers game?
  
• What prayers before the Supreme Court have remained unaddressed?
  
• What are the legal options open to address the verdict?

Questions impacting delivery of subsidies and benefits:

• Has exclusion been handled by the verdict?
  
• Does the verdict speak to the realities of existing marginalisations including caste, gender and sexuality?
  
• Have the databases driving our democracy been protected by the verdict?
  
• Are subsidies, benefits and services flowing to right persons and beneficiaries post the verdict?
  
• How are organisations undertaking KYC post verdict? Have they a roadmap to remove those onboard with Aadhaar and onboard those removed by Aadhaar?
  
• How are organizations/​financial institutions/​state/​public institutions delivering subsidies, benefits and services post the verdict?
