Such errors have emerged from other parts of the country too.

DEHRADUN: In his Aadhaar card, Mohammad Khan's date of birth is January 1. Next door, Alafdin also shows his official birthday as January 1. In fact, Alafdin's entire family has the same date of birth on their Aadhaar cards.

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?
