Subject: Re: [AI] is blindness a misfortune? ask saksham No, I don't think so. Root cause of negative attitude is unproductivity of blind persons, and inability to do many things. Change these, and attitude would be okay. You may say it is a vicious circle, but attitudes are not formed in vacuum. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of manohar vaswani Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 1:38 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.
