I am extremely happy reading all the mails on this thread as I can see a vibrant and healthy discussion being conducted with both the genders and ideologies being well- represented . Accessindia and other mailing lists have been experiencing such discussions before but the maturity shown by the members this time I believe is commendable.
Accessindians deserve a applaud for this. Also, a special admiration from my side to all the ladies who have voiced their views on the so called "NOT TO BE OPENLY DISCUSSED" topic in India. I believe the first step has been taken by discussing it and the next step is to start working on our attributes. As mentioned by Preeti Mam, people in and around Delhi must plan to attend the next Fusion Meet on August 3,2014. For our friends from rest of India we can construct similar face to face socializing platforms in all the cities where disabled and non-disabled hang out together. Friendships are the most valuable treasures , lets build them.
