Dear Friends,
The article on Kaiser had really provoked most of our members and we had
discussions from various dimensions. At this juncture, I thought of sharing
some details which I got to know about Kaiser.
There was an article about Kaiser in The Hindu, in June, 2008-- no idea of the
date of issue--soon after her 10th results had been out. That time the news was
brought about at the initiative of the school where she studied.
She studied in Little Flower Convent for the Blind, Chennai. That article was
much more informative.
Apart from the facts that her mother was mentally ill, and homeless, Kaiser was
originally from somewhere in U P and she knew nothing in Tamil.
In Tamilnadu, except for the CBSE schools, Tamil is compulsory unless one opts
for a different second language.
As I too studied from the same school, I am very sure that there is no Hindi or
any other language .
Just imagine, the amount of struggle this person would have undergone in
learning a new language under most difficult and traumatic conditions.
Well, she had proved that if proper opportunities are provided, nothing is
impossible and one could overcome any obstacles in life.
My hearty congradulations to Kaiser and appreciations to The Hindu for showing
interest in bringing out such news items.
With love and best wishes,
Dr. A.Rambabu
