Hello Mahesh, Humiliation and undermining the caliber and capability of
handicap citizens in general, and, blind in particular, by their respective
employers and public is quite common. However, this is very outrageous and
absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for. Instead of withdrawing your
nomination, you should have taken this matter to media. Media nowadays has
become very effective means of creating public awareness and uncovering
frauds.
Just 1 or 2 suggestions. whenever you anticipate any feud with your
superior, put your mobile on recording mode so that he /she can not deny or
backtrack from the statements they have made and the language being used.
Secondly, Try to catch hold of some journalist so that you can consult
him/her and opt for help when need be.----- Original Message -----

Subject: [AI] behaviour of my superior
Dear Friends--
I am writing to this list after a long time. I wish to tell you an
incident happened in my office , which shocked me.
Every year, a delegation goes from my office, C-DAC, to participate in
SuperComputing conference in USA. This year I put my self-nomination
for this. I am the most qualified and most senior person for the job.
But my boss called me for a one-to-one discussion and informed me that
it will be 'embarrasing' to send a person (VI) like me in . the
delegation. Because I will require someone's support and will hold
someone's hand. Also if some accident happens to me because of my
disability, he and office will be hold responsible for why they sent
such a person.
I was really shocked and upset with the behaviour. Then I withdrew my
nomination for participation in the conference.
Friends, I want to show you that how these learned so-called superiors
fail to understand the VI peoples aspirations and behave in such a
nonsense way.
Thanks for sharing my concerns.
Mahesh Shah
