Rahul and others, I would have surely supported your view, if Mahesh had explained his superior that he could travel and participated and he should have told them, it is inappropriate to back him by just the reason that he is blind. As per Mahesh's original email, it does not appears to me that he tried anything to create awareness.
Whether we like it or not, still there is lots to be done from awareness prospective. I even think, lot of NGOs needs to be improved too.
