Dear sir,
I also wrote to the BBC and said that it was not what they said. But, at the
same time, they broadcast it. They should have removed that portion from the
interview. Instead, Vinit Khare himself should have said it in civilized
words Actually, what is objectionable is that, they were talking about the
people who have no good choice when two criminals are the candidates in the
election. In this context, Anil Bairwal used the metaphor. Thatls why I
wrote to the BBC saying that, this means either of the two things:
1. The handicapped are in line with the criminals.
2. The handicapped are not qualified for the candidature in the
elections.- - -

Subject: [AI] my views on derogatory remarks by Anil Berwal
Dear Friends,
His comments clearly reflects uncivilised, arrogant, inhumane and
insensitive way of talking.
But this is not the views of BBC so we have little to blaim on BBC (as we
expect BBC to broadcast actual and tru news item). on other hand, we can
say that BBC should delete this portion of conversation from its report.
Intellectually, words used by Anil Beralwal were used in context of
election.
here, Hindi idioms,
"andho mein kaana raja"
"ram milaye jodi, ek andha ek kodi"
These idioms are often used in hindi literature and in daily conversations
but they are used in variety of contexts.
recently, I remind of one TV commercial of Ceat tyre company which says in
commercial like that,
"abe andha hai kya". This words used by sighted people sounds hurting.
Now it is our wisdom to decide on these aforesaid comments and wordings.
I think these words and comments are generally relate to people's mindset
not to any law or rule.
Society is changing but it is a process and it will take time.
