What I found especially fascinating about your talk, Malavika, were the cultural and identity insights into India vis-a-vis information technological developments, and by a dual-qualified lawyer, someone who can practice law in, I think, both India and the US (or in England?) ...

Dear Malavika, 

Thanks for your fascinating Harvard talk today - http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/05/jayaram - which I viewed online from the San Francisco Bay Area. I blogged about it here - 
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/05/yellow-throated-marten-kharza-timely.html. I'm the founder and president of startup, online, CC, World University and School, which is like Wikipedia with MIT OpenCourseWare, and planned for all languages and countries, with free, CC, MIT-centric, online, university degrees (Bach, Ph.D., law and MD, as well as the high school IB diploma) in large languages, and would love to stay in touch with you about WUaS as it develops. WUaS would like to become the MIT / Harvard of the  Internet. 

Here's the beginning India Law School at WUaS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India_Law_School_at_WUaS#World_University_and_School_Links ... with links to some other beginning India-related wiki subjects at WUaS. I added a reference to the chapter you wrote to the India Law School at WUaS wiki page. 

As a kind of developing major data project in India, I'm curious about some of UIDAI's - http://uidai.gov.in/ - ramifications, and asked the following questions during your talk in the IRC chat room accessible here - 
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/wg_home/webcast - during Tuesday talks. 

[10:21am] Scott_WUaS: Could Google Plus, for example, or even World University and School, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW (planned for all 7,106 languages and 242 countries), articulate with this project ... and address many issues not addressed by its Indian planners ... and further define privacy information technologically, legally, and internationally as well?

[10:22am] Scott_WUaS: e.g. "You at World University" ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University ...

[10:23am] Scott_WUaS: What are the laws for non-Indian organizations to engage this database?

I also added your talk ...

How would you respond to these questions, especially in terms of helping people in India, and how do you see the UIDAI developing both legally and socially? 

Thank you again for a fascinating talk. 

Sincerely, 
Scott
