Sad reality out of an age-old-perception is, our society is built on traditional thought to see disability ONLY charity-based. Therefore Young, educated,highly qualified people with disability with disability and people who work in this sector should NOT get demoralised or upset by these incidents. They only show us how still there is lack of awareness about Rights-based disability,around us. So this is challenge for us. So take out 2-3 minutes and without getting angry,annoyed explain to these people that persons with disability like "me",like "my student" dont need charity, pity. They are first persons like you and me Sir. Only difference is they have a disability like vision deficiency. With education and qualifications they are equally,some times more competent and qualified. Technology and education have empowered them.As per the Constitution of India which governs all of us, Sir these PswD have equal rights to FULLY participate in the day-today development process in the society ON PAR WITH OTHERS...And as per law if they cant get this participation anywhere in public spaces due to barriers, it is OUR DUTY Sir to work/raise voice as an inclusive society to remove these barriers so that their participation is Full and on par with others. So Sir, this young man in front of you does not need free ice cream from you, he wants a hand of empathy from you. So Sir, this young student in front of you does not need free tuition from you for you to achieve Punya, he and all other persons with disability want your hand of empathy सहसंवेदना...Spread this message around and change people's mindset towards disability...that will fetch Punya for you🙏
