Of course, lobbying is required and pressure is to be exerted in a democracy for the voices to be heard. However, the persons with disabilities are a scattered and a silent minority and have few resources, if any. So, it is a vicious circle: depleted resources lead to undermining their existence worse, apathy, and it in turn leads to further depletion of resources.
However, on this note, I heard in the national news bulletin of all India radio last night that NFB has withdrawn their agitation after assurances from Rahul Gandhi about the implementation of recent Delhi High court judgment about full implementation of three percent reservation and revised calculation of backlog according to fresh interpretation of words "three percent" in PWD act and MSJ OM, which requires three percent of vacancies to be calculated as three percent of the total cadre in a particular class of services and not merely three percent of vacancies in the identified posts. Let us hope the judgment will be enforced in its true letter and spirit as it has potential to generate many jobs for VI and all disabled.
