Even I have come across girls who have no qualms in holding hands. Even strangers for that matter do freely offer their hands to a blind person.

There is not a single Indian culture. the girls have held my hand while guiding quite often; and even boys /men have given voice commands to guide or held my cane to guide. As Adina said, and even i suggested earlier, it is better that we hold the elbow or hand of the escort/guide rather than they doing so. This is one of the essentials of mobility training anywhere in the world. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kasha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [AI] AI IDEA FOR DOCUMENTARY > hi there, > > I think, you are not clear as per the culture of India.
