I would like to say that the need of the hour is unity among all disabilities. Personal attacks would not serve the purpose. Hope all stake holders come together and we get an empowering law for all of us. Thanks.

Subject: Re: [AI] Kindly answer for this I agree to Mahesh sir. Let us forget the bitterness now. and collectively work for better RPD after polls. Javed sir I gracely apologise publickly if my way of asking and posing issues have hit you hard. But sir you should understand many landmark judicial pronouncements and interests of fairly population of disabled were at stake if this Bill had been passed in its current form. My commitment to healthy academic discourse has always inspired me to study and react to all sides of the discourse. Access India has witnessed my postings from all perspectives on RPD in the last few weeks. But being myself a totally blind researcher on India's disabilities act who has easy access to media and academia didin't wish this Bill be passed where totally blind/low vision persons were intentially ignored and marginalised in the Bill. And other disabled categories also rightfully objected to the Bill as you know from the writings of Amba Salelkar, Professor Mustaffa of Nalsar, Jaina Kuthari of Alternate legal firm banglore and others. And as far as activism and leadership is concerned I must talk about two researched writings one by Meenu Bhambani's who submitted her MA dissertation praising Mr Javed's contribution under the banner of DRG and Dr jagdish Chandra's PHD theses who primarily discusses Mr Rungta and NFB's activism on ground since 70s. Finally friends, we shouldn't forget this fact whosoever handles media successfully his'her version gets documented an then that report and bite can be referred in future. And Mr Javed is superb in dealing with news agencies. Both leaders have played major roles but there has always been lack of trust and coordination. NFB should certainly embark on opening research cell to produce quality reports and findings this is the lesson they should take from this RPD fiasco. And finally, I will always be indebted to Mr Rungta sir for making this hiddened Bill publick so that the lives of million people have been Email truncated to 2,000 characters :::0:8b77e5760867fc374fce0c0c3b0d40ab:7d0:::: Original message is located on server 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.
