Having blind persons in the population is not a misfortune for a country. It is a reality and every country has some. the misfortune in this case is referring to having the largest population of blind in the world. I think this is certainly not a positive thing for india, we should strive to prevent blindness as much as possible by improving health system and nutrition. Of course there will be cases where nothing can be done to prevent blindness and for them organisations like Saksham have to continue to work hard.
-----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: 05 February 2015 17:39 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] is blindness a misfortune? ask saksham I think lack of respect for human diversity and different capabilities is one of the main bases which predetermines people's negative perception about disabled people. What constitutes inability and unproductivity is very subjective based on so called ablest notion. I wonder why a number of women despite being working round the clock at home earn wrath from male members because women do not earn? Same is the case with disabled people. lack of conducive atmosphere and support system perpetuates the understanding that people with disabilities are burden and of no value.
