Yes. You're absolutely right in my opinion. In fact, in such programs, what happens is that the real tallent of a person takes a backseat, and the comunity politics becomes more important. People vote for their family members, relatives, friends and their fellow comunity members, and so should we, I firmly believe.
In fact, the issue is not only that we must vote because he is blind. The thing is a blind person, despite his talent, keeps on getting rejected in the normal world, and this rejection can be seen in various fields and is done in various manners, direct as well as indirect. Those blind people who participate in music compititions will surely testify to the fact that very often, people have disqualified them despite the fact that their performance had been more than of A level. Of course, the voting for Diwakar is over now, but I am still putting my views because, I feel, the issue in question here is not only concerned with that definitely tallented child, but with every blind person whom the world refuse to acknowledge despite their tallents and abilities. We, as those who can empathise with such tallented people, must support them in every field.
