Dear All, Well in my view including the disability in no way stops us from getting what we want. The views of Rahul bhaiya represents today's bad political situation in the case of minorities. Where as the views of few others are that we will be discriminated just because we are disabled. There was another view represented by someone that even if we apply for something and if the 'sensible' persons sitting their to look into the applications come to know that we are disabled our forms will be rejected. I respect everyone's views, and there is nothing wrong in saying what you want to say. Well dealing with discrimination, I am unable to understand that just because it is written on the card that we are disabled how come we will be discriminated? If it is a discrimination why we do possess medical certificate? Before anyone comes up and say that 'boss medical certificate is required where you specifically want to show that you are disabled and not in general situations'. Wav! I am impressed by your intelligence. Absolutely right. Now when we consider general situations why people will consider our disability when it is not required to do so? And even if they do then how they will deny us the basic things after knowing that we are disabled? Just tell me, that almost everywhere when we require any facility for which we have to fill any form, we fix a photograph on the form. Am I right? If yes, then if I restrict myself at least to visual impairment then generally it is clear from your photograph that you have vision problem. Note my word 'generally'. Then, are you denied the facilities? Lets take pan card for that matter? I think no. So I don't feel that there will be any discrimination. Including disability on the card will just show that you are disabled. You will not be discriminated because of that, however people will come to know that you are disabled then generally you will have their sympethy in India at least. That we already do get whenver any person comes to know about our disability. The only fact which we need to accept that if someone calls us disabled or if someone knows that we are disabled then we should not feel that we are infirior or we are discriminated. Lets accept the fact. And who stops you from showing your caliver in the society? Ultimately your performance will take away the sympathetic attitude of people. I would also like to say that when we say that including disability colunm on the card will be the reason of rejecting our application. Specially demat example was given. Tell me, that even today we are facing this problem. Today also many a times our forms get rejected because lack of awareness amongst brokers etc about the guidelines. Today also we need to convince them by showing them the guidelines and our talent of course. Today also we need to find out that our forms are being rejected. Then only we can take any step of meeting them etc. The things which we are doing now from overcoming of these problems,can be done at that time. UID does not stop us from doing that. We are talking about multipurpose eye-card instead of including disability on UID card. But if we are to have such card, then why not let it be on UID card itself? The best advantage of having this in UID database is that we will not need to follow another lengthy process of getting multipurpose Icard and one card will serve all the purposes. The second advantage of this will be that since disability will be recognized in UID itself we will not need to do any lengthy documentations. Which I can presume that will be added in case of multipurpose card. **I don't say that don't get multipurpose card so persons working on that project don't take me in wrong sense** Still we are faced with many difficulties, which we are overcoming either by ourselves or by the efforts of experts of our field who give their sincere efforts to get the guidelines created. The problem of railway concession the problem of no uniform format in concessions will be taken away by this card itself. I think that this UID project will make our task easier instead of making it difficult. And I think it is very sensible step to include disability in the card itself. And by the way, we are discussing here that we should not include disability then if all agree that it shouldn't be included, then are we going to talk with UID authorities who have already taken this sensible step? However I don't know that how UID will deal with temporary disableds. This is not at all counter reply, these are just and just my personal views. I respect everyone's wisdom. Regards Amar Jain.
