Well... I personally trust your identity because I saw people who I know are familiar with you on a personal basis (and whom I trust) talk to you naturally, and because people in general knew you are Manoj. And, of course, because you showed me an ID - But I trust more the familiar treatment to you from the SPI people and from former and present DPLs than the government which used your ID. I believe you could trust I am who I say I am - after all, people were calling my name everywhere, and I was just proofing you cannot be in ten places at the same time for the whole time over two weeks :) It might be enough proof for some people that I am Gunnar Wolf - With or without an ID.
