2013-02-25 Thread Asudani, Rajesh

yes, this is the scientific approach.
We cannot presume that blind/sighted marriage would always be marred by 
incompatibility.
Actually disability of a partner or both is a highly relevant factor and needs 
to be dealt with scientifically.

Friends,

We cannot judge that all blind with sited, sited with sited or blind with
blind are happy couples. Each of the types has unique sets of problems. As
blind with blind might face some day to day practical problems, on the other
hand the sited with blind might face the problem of over shadowing the blind
personality with sited person. So the challenges are every ware and have to
be dealt with the skills and experience.

On the need of to fulfill our wishes by our sited counterpart we should have
the sited partner is not according to me is the right opinion. Are we
searching for a life partner or a slave? Which will fulfill our wish? [The
target which was not completed by us to be completed by our partner].

Getting married is the process of providing mantel, emotional, psychological
physical confer to each other. If this process is just one sided the
institution of marriage cannot stand irrespective of the type of couple you
are.

To make any decision, you are the best judge of your own. No societal norm
or social practices can bring you the right decision. If a blind divorces
blind then the society will allege that that how 2 disables can live
together, if divorce happens between blind and sited it may be called that
how one can adjust with blind or if sited divorces sited, it will be
considered as normal. So never judge your decision on others comments. Don't
you remember the story of donkey and and man?

All the openions mentioned above are my personal views.

Re: [AI] PARAVOOR:Mass wedding held for visually challenged

2013-02-25 Thread George Abraham

Beside such mass wedding organised by NGOs clearly send out a message that
Disabled people should only marry disabled persons. This is perpetuating
the societal perception that is obstructing social inclusion and general
access. Besides we blind people are not a separate community. We can
definitely choose to marry anyone but Society and NGOs will not  or should
not decide whom we should marry.

Re: [AI] PARAVOOR:Mass wedding held for visually challenged

2013-02-25 Thread avinash shahi

I'm glad to read conflicting claims with regard to 'Mass Marriage Melange'.

and thought to join in this vibrant discussion and deliberation.

Facilitating mass marriages of visually challenged has become an
entrepreneurial come social-service self-satisfying practice these
days.
in fact in many parts of the country, specially in mega metros and
mini metros, scores of marriages are arranged, and solemnized.
This growing phenomena raises many questions.
1. Is getting married to a non-disabled really take you in the domain
of 'mainstream'?
When Actor seeks actress for marriage, player looks player for
marriage, poet desires  poetess for marriage, then why can't blind man
marry to a blind woman?

Now question begs attention, who defines mainstream?
and is marrying to a non-disabled is enough to be called in the mainstream?
I don't think so.
Choice of marriage is purely subjective. and if so called mainstream
occupants are morally bbound to accomodate marginalized, hence
marginalised have an ethical duty towards their fellow beings
irrespective of jender.
Marriage is not a constitutional right which one can expect from so
called mainstream people to accomodate the rest from  the periphery.
Marriage entails: mutual respect, equal concerns, and and love along
with sacrifice.
And mainstream is a myth, which celebrates untouchability, cheers
masculinity, and despises disability.

Now will leave with two more questions Which need further
contemplation, but I'm not in a position to take any view; hope many
people here will put some light on these questions.
1. Why NGOs Which are traditionally supposed to facilitate educational
and employable empowerment of visually challenged has picked  up new
attractive dimention in  their spheres to organize marriage of
visually challenged?
2. And why adult blind people flock in huge numbers to seek spouse via
these NGOs?

Re: [AI] FW: Thanks to CCPD

2013-02-25 Thread mukesh jain

hello,
first of all, heartiest congratulations for the timely help and your
relief sought by you with the help of ccpd and your activism.


also big thanks goes to the quick initiative taken by our hon'ble ccpd
in ensuring our rights against this unfair descrimination.

i would also be keen to know such direct number of ccpd in case of any
imergency as in your case being sunday, public holiday, could not
contact the office of ccpd. i am sure this will help me and several
others like me who face such imergencies and stuck upon the further
strategies fighting between confusion and your burning desire to
achieve your goal as just like other sighted people.

i would also be keen to have the tips to search for the direct numbers
of these people as in your case, you could imediately have the access
of the state disability commisioners. so far i tried helping few
instances and stuck upon the outdated mobile numbers of few such
commisioners. i have got this list by googling but could not  succeed
in having access to the latest numbers.
thanks,
mukesh.

BarrierBreak


Dear Access-Indians,



Have you ever thought of how a person with vision loss or print impairment
can get access to notice boards within schools, colleges, work places and
various other organizations?

Here is an innovative concept by BarrierBreak:


Talking Notice Board


Now, make all your notices directly accessible to people with visual
impairment and those who are print disabled with the Talking Notice Board,
an innovative concept by BarrierBreak.

The Talking Notice Board is powered by a digital voice labeler, the Touch
Memo which is about the size of a pen. It records and plays message when you
touch a supplied label with the Touch Memo. Simply attach a Touch Memo label
to the object, touch the tip of the Touch Memo pen to the label, then record
a descriptive voice tag. Then next time when you touch the tip of the Touch
Memo pen to that label it will play back the recorded voice tag associated
with it.

The Talking Notice Board holds cards with the Touch Memo labels pasted on
them which are used to record and play Notices using the Touch Memo. The
Touch Memo is attached to the Notice board by a chain.  Any one who wishes
to listen to the recorded messages can touch the tip of the Touch Memo pen
to the labels pasted on the cards and get access to the notices recorded on
them.


Specifications:


ü  Elegant looking notice stand

ü  Card slots with 10 message capacity

ü  Distinguishable 3 button pen

ü  Mounting equipment [screws, hook and chain]  provided


Top Features:


ü  High quality voice

ü  Easily back-up your recorded labels on a PC

ü  2 GB (Internal flash memory) with 83 hours of recording time

ü  Approximately 6 hours of operating time

Subject: Re: [AI] PARAVOOR:Mass wedding held for visually challenged

Hello,
Let me be very specific with the topic,

1.  It does not make any difference to me that which organization
organized the mass wedding or what they have done earlier in this
respect. This may be of liking to those who are involved in it or
benefitted through it and publicizing it. Further I do not deny the
necessity of such mass marriages and appreciate the initiative. But
still my simple question remains unanswered that "how it brings VIs
into mainstream"?
2.  Well, knowing me personally is not going to solve your confusion,
but for the sake of correcting your hypothesis I am compelled to
inform you that I lost eyesight 10 years back and have been the member
of list for last 4 years. And I too know many of VI couples friends.
But here as well, as earlier, I am not able to understand that being
new or old member of list, and, knowing VI couples or not, is how come
related with the issue of bringing VIs into mainstream?
3.  In answer to your next question, I would only say that marrying
within community or outside community and whether blind couple are
happy or not, is a broad topic and I am not interested to deviate from
the actual topic that is "how it brings VIs into mainstream"?

Friend, in the zeal of getting your project acclaimed aren't you
trying to establish a plain charitable mass marriage as inclusion of
VIs into mainstream? Definitely mass marriage is a part of
rehabilitation but not the inclusion into mainstream. I would have
rather appreciated it if all VIs were married with sighted
counterparts and then one would have called it as an attempt to
bringing VIs into mainstream. Still the sighted world is well-known
and well-established "mainstream" and all of hue and cry made by VI
community has more or less similar theme to get incorporated into this
mainstream as we are kept secluded from it.

For the better clarification of the term "mainstream", please refer to
the below mentioned some of the dictionary meanings of the term:
"To incorporate into the prevailing group"
"Representing the prevalent attitudes and values of a society or groups"
And, "normal", "typical", "conventional" etc.

So, it demonstrates that what we are talking about is not an attempt
of incorporation into mainstream, and if one wishes to deny it have to
innovate or forcefully create a new definition of incorporation into
mainstream! And I extend my best wishes to those who want to do this
novel Endeavour.

Subject: [AI] The Talking Notice Board, an innovative concept by 
BarrierBreak



Dear Access-Indians,



Have you ever thought of how a person with vision loss or print impairment
can get access to notice boards within schools, colleges, work places and
various other organizations?

Here is an innovative concept by BarrierBreak:


Talking Notice Board


Now, make all your notices directly accessible to people with visual
impairment and those who are print disabled with the Talking Notice Board,
an innovative concept by BarrierBreak.

The Talking Notice Board is powered by a digital voice labeler, the Touch
Memo which is about the size of a pen. It records and plays message when you
touch a supplied label with the Touch Memo. Simply attach a Touch Memo label
to the object, touch the tip of the Touch Memo pen to the label, then record
a descriptive voice tag. Then next time when you touch the tip of the Touch
Memo pen to that label it will play back the recorded voice tag associated
with it.

The Talking Notice Board holds cards with the Touch Memo labels pasted on
them which are used to record and play Notices using the Touch Memo. The
Touch Memo is attached to the Notice board by a chain.  Any one who wishes
to listen to the recorded messages can touch the tip of the Touch Memo pen
to the labels pasted on the cards and get access to the notices recorded on
them.


Specifications:


ü  Elegant looking notice stand

ü  Card slots with 10 message capacity

Re: [AI] about the mass wedding happened in paravoor

2013-02-25 Thread George Abraham

Friends,

There is nothing wrong with two VI persons marrying each other. What I am
concerned with is the message that such mass weddings send out to the Govt,
Society and other family members of VI people. Further,blind people do not
form a community, such weddeings would tend to confirm the sterio type mind
set.

Subject: [AI] about the mass wedding happened in paravoor

friends, it was inspiring to  read about the mass wedding of physicaly
challenged  happened at Kochin. perhaps i do not support the fact that
people with same kind of impairemend can live together is always possible.
however, apart from other kinds of disabilities, i strongly believe that
two visually impaired people can be together as partners and can lead a
successful life. no doubt there are challenges to face, and difficulties to
handle when these partners proceed their lives further, may be in
comparison to those problems that happen in the every day life of other
partners. i heard several times even our visually impaired friends asking,
how does a visually impaired girl do house hold duties? how does she
perform in child rareing? she cannot read books to me. she cannot guide
when i am travelling. how does she help me out if some emergency things
happen? how does she drive my car? (smile)  being a visually impaired
girl in each and every moment of such expression, i became highly
irritated,  expressed my bitter, and burst out into anger, and even at
times into tears, primarily being insulted as a visually impaired girl. i
am sure that such expressions are merely out of schovenism. because it is
the societal norm that males can always demand.  if you think about
yourself, you are equally, or even worse disable in performing the above
mentioned expressions. so i feel that such expressions are merely an insult
to your own disability. now apart from the schovenistic attitude, it is
embarazing to reveal that  these demand makers are so narrow minded. in
this appologeticaly long mail, i would like to view the whole point from a
social perspective.  it is true that, at least out of the experiences in
Kerala, a visually impaired boy can easily get a sighted girl, recently
even without any educational compramises. at certain points, not even the
boy's social, financial status matter. but the case is totaly different
with a visually impaired girl even if she pursues a so called good
educational profile and professional status. girls are mostly dragged into
the rehabilitation centers, after a point due to the lack of a family
support. most among those who are financialy sound are forced to push
themselves into a lonely, isolated hostel life. i firmly believe that
marriage is not a reason to live, and the only cause that can make someone
happy. but again as per societal norms, it is really difficult for a single
girl to put down her feet and live boldly. i do not believe in the again
and again propogated fact that support from the sighted person as a partner
can make a visually impaired person's life easier, rather than the other
way round. it is totally depend upon the person to whom you get married. i
believe in finding alternatives to make our life easier. primarily it is to
be understood that today, most of the visually impaired girls are far, far
better than visually impaired boys in doing day to day things, perhaps by
force itself. in every partnership there exists a togetherness, where you
give and seek. moreover, it is all about how much does one want to have an
understanding partner with him or her. the same disabilities convey and
share lot of things silently. so much said and done, this mail does not
indent to force anyone to take their life as a challenge and jump into
conclusions. here i wished to pause a social issue.
that's all. so dear habeeb, do not feel agitated when someone raises an
exclamation  towards two impaired people being together. i am sure that you
must have heard such expressions earlier also. it is so common.  regards
reem
