Dear List, I have been contacted by one of my friends working in the Media. They are looking at stories of discrimination in Education, Employment and other spheres faced by Persons with disabilities. I am sure many of you have lived experiences of discrimination and also successes. *You may like to respond to this directly to Mr. Pankaj Johar by writing to him at [email protected].*
Here are the details abut the Programme: Reliance Big Synergy, one of India's biggest production houses is presently working on a show for Star Plus which will be hosted by one of India's biggest superstars. This is a 16 episode show on social issues that effect every Indian in one way or another and prevent India from becoming even more prosperous and registering an even higher rate of growth. Their objective is to sensitise people through this show and make them more aware about these issues so that they can contribute in their own way towards making the society conscious about the ills that plague us. One of the episodes is on *"People with Disabilities in an Insensitive Society"* and we are looking for people who have faced discrimination in education, employment and other spheres of life. They should be comfortable with discussing about their difficulties on national television. *Format of the Show*: Each episode will be divided into seperate sections. For instance, the episode on disability will have sections like attitude of the society, education, employment, government's role and stand, culture and arts, acheivements etc. The anchor will introduce the show and then stories relating to various aspects of the issue will be shown. Some of these individuals/ organisations will be called to the studio where the anchor will interact with them along with the experts. The show will end with a conclusion on where we stand as a society and what all needs to be done to overcome our insenstivities. *About Big Synergy:* Reliance big Synergy is a pioneer in the field of TV content production with path breaking shows like Mastermind India, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Dus ka Dum, Sach ka Saamna, AAp ki kachehri and many more. -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Advocate Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
