From ‘udder card’ to ‘Gaudhaar’, twitter is having a field day with Aadhaar-for-cow puns
Cows may soon get an Aadhaar-tag, and as soon as Twitter realised this wasn’t a joke - they decided to rectify that situation.
Because obviously, in a country where girls and women are trafficked on an everyday basis and forced into sex work and domestic labour, where farmers are committing suicide because of the drought in many parts of the country, where even cattle are dying because of lack of fodder and water, the biggest priority of the government should of course be making Aadhaar tags for cows.
While many decided that the correct name for such a unique identification tag MUST be Udder card (like duh!), others experimented with terms like ‘Cowdhaar’ and ‘Gaudhaar’.
They're missing an opportunity if they don't call it an UDDER card. https://t.co/CPY6Zk9lpf

Others meanwhile suggested others animals/insects/reptiles that government should plan Aadhaar for - you know, just in case.

Mere ghar me 6 chipkali (Lizards ) hai soch rahi hun ki me unke bhi adhar card banva hi deti hun.

(Translation: “There are six lizards at home, I’m thinking I should get Aadhaar done for them also.”)
Many though wondered how the cows were planning to use these Aadhaar cards - to start small scale businesses perhaps? Or may be to get voting rights?
