Just a little caution! In today's India just how much can the media be trusted? Please do not form strong views on what you see or hear in the media.
-----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Himanshu Sahu Sent: 21 February 2016 22:24 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Why the tricolor makes no sense to me. "When the MHRD or UGC have not done anything substantial to establish equal opportunity cell or HEPSN cell for persons with special needs in the Central universities," Should we demand for a blind Univercity specially meant for VIs with all world quality facility like free laptop, free food, free education etc. , or, should we establish a blind terrorist cell? Or, should we demand for providing Naxal literature, Islamic radicalist's material spread by ISIS, Taliban, Lashkar etc. or, should we ask for freedom of sedition like Khalid was enjoying, if demands of blind have not fulfilled in last 18 months? "when these so-called guardians of higher-education in India have hardly paid attention to the implementation of 3 per cent reservation for the PWDs in educational institutions, the Central Government is not willing to obey even the order of Supreme Court of India in fulfilling its responsibilities to the PWDs in employment, why so much strain and stress is taken to hoist flags in the central universities? " Should we close all educational institutions in response to above when 3% reservation implementation is still underway and partially implemented in all gov. institutions in last 18 months? Or, should we start making connivance with Pakistan based terrorist groups for seperating Kashmir from India? Or, should we start supporting Maoist Naxals in their attempt for carving out a Maoistan, or, should we start supporting Nagas for separate Nagaland? Definitely we should not be forced to flag Tricolour in India, rather should be provided with freedom to hoist Pakistani, or ISIS or Chinese flag? What do you say??? "You may take pride in hoisting flags, But it makes no sense when the police forces are able to beat-up the blind and disabled all over the country with unquestionable authority and brutality. If you think Avinash is getting emotional, feeling patriotic about the flag hoisting is more an emotional cry! Patriotism can be truly proved only through our commitment to the people, respect for all others and by fullfilling our responsibilities, not just by hoisting flags.. Each action/event in the public domain are inter-connected, it is hence not out of place to indicate the lapses in our system while lot of energy is spent in other issues which are apparently unimportant. True democracy must give space for dissenting voices and ensure one's right to disagree..." Yeh, its right! Police should not use force whether it is blind or terrorists or Naxals... Rather policemen and army personnel should be beaten, like in JNU in year 2000 and they should be killed like yesterday Captain Pavan is killed in Kashmir and thousands have been killed, and are being killed in J&K, North Eastern states, Chattisgarh etc... Definitely we should not be emotional for these deaths as its not Martyrdom rather we should celebrate these deths like celebrated in JNU by leftists when BSF personnel were killed in Chattisgarh... We should also march for the freedom of Kashmir and should force Modi to handover it to Pakistan, we should also march for separate Nagaland etc like JNUists did for their "freedom", as this would strengthen voice of all separatists, and by the virtue of "freedom of speech", freedom of expression" and by the virtue of meriod other freedoms enshrined in Indian constitution, we should keep on shouting that "Afzal we are ashamed as your killers are still alive", "war will continue until India is broken in pieces". Really, then we blind too will be enjoying real freedom in this country and this much will be the greatest achievement of Modi... Well, I won't like to point individuals on this group, but its really ashames me and must be making our motherland ashamed seeing how anti-national sentiments and activities are given birth, nourished and defended by some of its own countrymen who are called intellectuals...
