Dear Dr. Vaswani, Thank you for taking the time to write — and for raising this. It is exactly the kind of thoughtful reading that keeps communicators like me on our toes.
To answer your question directly: absolutely not. Students who succeed with scribe support are equally accomplished, and Radio Udaan deeply honours every visually impaired achiever, regardless of the accommodation they use. The intent of the subject line was to highlight a specific systemic failure — these three students were entitled to a scribe, did not receive one due to an administrative gap, and still scored high. The story is about institutional accountability, not a comparison between students who use scribes and those who don't. Your feedback is well taken. Language around disability must be handled with care, and I will be more precise in future communications so the message is never open to an unintended reading. Thank you again, Dr. Vaswani. I would be honoured if you had a moment to listen to the episode itself — I believe the conversation reflects the spirit you rightly expect. 🎧 https://youtu.be/JU8_TpIrwRk With warm regards, Danish Mahajan Founder, Radio Udaan & Udaan Empowerment Trust On Tue, May 26, 2026 at 10:57 AM manohar vaswani <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Danish > the subject of your mail is misleading > .
