India Seeks Biometric and AI Sovereignty Amid Global Digital Control Race

India is pushing for strategic autonomy over its biometric infrastructure, AI systems, and digital public identity stack, citing security risks from foreign cloud and hardware dependence. This accelerating global race for digital control over populations — encompassing biometric identity, AI surveillance, and centralised data systems — mirrors the prophetic framework of a coming world system capable of monitoring and controlling every individual. Revelation 13:16-17 describes a future where no one can buy or sell without the mark of the beast, a system now technologically conceivable as nations build the very infrastructure required.
