All
We deplore thisirresponsible statements totally. We are considering taking
this to its logical conclusion seriously.
Hence, we are not making any comments at the
present.
Members are requested not to get to his level while stating their views.
Please don't digress and give a different colour which will weaken the
case.
We are very disturbed and shall not bear with it. There is some apollogy
on the blog but that is not enough.

Subject: [SayEverything] let all of us stand abreast to curb this menace.
To: sayeverything <[email protected]>
Respected moderator and members of say everything,
kindly read below to know how we, the visually challenged have been
projected by the official who is appointed to work for the betterment
of us. i request you all to read and suggest the measures to bring
this official to public media and to justice. here it goes.
the translated statement given below were delivered by Dr. I.
Arivanandham, regional director of NIVH (national institute for the
visually handicapped) chennai, on 27th august during the conference on
"orientation programme on equal opportunities". kindly read below and
do something.
“people with total blindness do not know how to clean their teath,
they do not know of cleanliness, they do not know how to take a clean
bath, and even they do not have proper dressing sense. Moreover, a
totally blind mother do not know how to lift her new borne child, and
they do not know how to breastfeed. totally blind people will always
feel that they are insecure. On the other hand, the partially blind
are more arrogant. They always hate to have a walking stick. They
indulge in frequent conflict while travelling in bus and in public
places. Normally partially blind people are more aggressive in nature.
They do not want to project themselves as blind, however they will use
this disability as a shield to get them out whenever they got caught.
They too have a problem of efficiency in discharging their duties
efficiently at workplace. There is another classification of blind,
that is people who lossed their vision due to accidents and other
reasons. They are arrogant than that of the above. They always hate to
live after their loss of vision. They always think of killing
themselves. They always try to avoid their duties by showing their
disability in the first place. Ok, Let us keep all the above aside. If
we consider the intellectual capability of the blind, it is 20% of the
total person. Because 80% capability arise out of vision, this is a
scientific truth. However with this 20%, they project themselves as
capable persons and demand employment opportunities in government
sectors. They are difficult to manage at workplace. If you help the
blind once, they will enforce it as their right upon you from next
time. They will become your constant disturbance if you help them once
even to cross the road. besides all that, we have no alternatives but
to provide them 3% reservation in government employment.”
note:
dear members, the above views are not delivered by any other
government official, but by the official who has been appointed to
work for the betterment of the visually challenged. after serving in
this arena for 25 years, he addressed the government gathering that
contained officials from all government departments under the label
"his PHD findings". kindly look into this and suggest the measures to
bring this official into limelight. this derogatory remarks are not
about a single visually challenged, it is not a bout the visually
challenged of a particular state, but this demoralising statement is
about all the indian visually challenged. kindly prioritise and let us
do something about it. for your authentisity and convenience, am
pasting the link of a blog that contains his statements in tamil.
