IWCD129: Remote Indian tribal groups get blockchain caste certificates

Hey {{First Name|there}}!

So yesterday I stumbled upon an article:

Tribal Groups in Remote Indian Area Get Blockchain Caste Certificates

The new program hopes to stem corruption of those who wrongly identify as members of India’s indigenous peoples or lower-caste sections.

Was interesting to see because it's related to tribal groups leveraging blockchain for "caste certificates."

Firstly, I didn't even know this was a thing!

Secondly, it's being used to curb corruption. A use case that appealed to me when I first got involved with Bitcoin back in 2013.
