Kriti Banga posted in blind star's news for braille readers: MUMBAI: Since the past four months, the inheritors of Veer Savarkar's legacy have devoted themselves to translating 14 of his books in Braille. This labour of love will be unveiled on Tuesday morning at the Swatantryaveer Savarkar Rashtriya Smarak opposite Shivaji Park. "The collection is divided into 24 volumes comprising 3,900 pages. It is in English, so blind readers across the country can access it. The copies are printed in the best quality paper that can last up to 50 years," said smarak chairman Ranjit Savarkar. The trust collaborated with the National Association for the Blind and Language Empire for the translation. Ashok Shinde, who executed the project, said, "These books will be made available free of cost on our upcoming multilingual web site of 13 languages, including Braille." The freedom fighter whom the British had sentenced to the Andamans was a prolific writer. The Mangeshkars' rendition of his poem, 'Sagara pran talamalala' remains a favourite on radio. -- Dr.Bhagyashree Gandhi, Consultant Physiotherapist, Harekrishna physiotherapy clinic, Sion-Mumbai, E male: [email protected] Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
