Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[Vedprakash]

There may be objections from one or the other quarter with the terms used to 
denote a person with disabilities.
We are wasting our skills in criticising the term divyang.
We should rather try to present an alternative which is the least objectionable 
and the most acceptable.
The term Viklang, when considered properly, looks as if the body parts or 
"Angas" are in enxiety or "vikal".
Can the term be considered as appropriate to use?
The term "disabled" means the persons who are not able bodied. It also looks 
objectionable.
So it is not the term, but the meaning specified to that term, which is 
important and hence should be taken into consideration.
Divyang, viklang or any other term is not going to change our destiny; but its 
definition surely will.
Hence, we should be more concerned with the definition of disability than 
divyang or viklang.

How do we make it crystal clear that our fight is not with the Modi as a 
person. However his suggestion of 'divyang' as the PM of a largely uneducated 
country needs to be taken seriously. Why some of us always think that the 
disability is apolitical subject. Its very much political and we should 
politicize it to the extent we could.
Otherwise, non-disabled will leave us no where to bargain our fair share.  We 
should not forget that the entitlements provisioned in the PWD Acd are the 
outcome of the social model of disability to some extent which aims to put 
burden on the society for the disabling condition. Its unfortunate that handful 
of us think its a paid campaign against Mr Modi. We are merely airing our views 
in the publick domain which is vital for the strengthening of the disability 
studies and the disability advocacy. Mr Subramani, I'm not that old who could 
claim decades of experience of working in the sector. I'm student and in my

We successfully played our part in stalling the passage of the faulty RPD Bill

not that  only writing to PMO merrly on twitter would solve our issue. There 
are large sections in India who view disabled people as 'divyang'. and 
formalizing of the term would do a great damage in the future. No media house 
wants to publish anything about the ramification of the 'divyang' why? because 
there is an agreement with the suggestion. I lament why we don't have

expose the politics behind the terms 'specially-abled' differently-abled' and

I kno that our Prime Minister is not a disability rights activist or a
disability scholar. And he is not well read about the correctness of
the disability terminology. What he suggested is a name hold by many
individuals in India. If one googles, one could find names Divyang
Chaudhary, Divyang Mandal and so on. But using the term collectively
for a group of people would connote different sense. That's where the
problem lies.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[George Abraham]

The problem as Rajesh put it, the words from the PM is an imposition. Govt 
officials do not have the backbone to stand up and say that they disagree. If 
the PM has said that PWDs are to be called Diviang then the Govt officials will 
blindly follow (no pun intended). The PM is not a subject matter expert. He has 
made a statement to the best of his understanding. No problem with that. But 
the sector needs to unite and educate and encourage the Govt officials to use 
their brains to avert another outflow of Govt resources to unproductive ends.

On another note I wonder if the group knows that the huge  skill development 
drive that is aiming to train and place 2.5 million disabled persons by 2022 is 
mainly targeted at the Deaf, PH and the intellectually challenged. Even 
organisations who have started with skilling the blind are now shifting by and 
large towards skilling other disabilities. It has become a number game. I am 
afraid the blind persons are going to be left out if we do not assert 
ourselves.

a person. However his suggestion of 'divyang' as the PM of a largely
uneducated country needs to be taken seriously. Why some of us always
think that the disability is apolitical subject. Its very much
political and we should politicize it to the extent we could.
Otherwise, non-disabled will leave us no where to bargain our fair
share.  We should not forget that the entitlements provisioned in the
PWD Acd are the outcome of the social model of disability to some
extent which aims to put burden on the society for the disabling
condition. Its unfortunate that handful of us think its a paid
campaign against Mr Modi. We are merely airing our views in the
publick domain which is vital for the strengthening of the disability
studies and the disability advocacy. Mr Subramani, I'm not that old
who could claim decades of experience of working in the sector. I'm
student and in my limited capacity as a writer I do my best in raising
serious concerns of ours. We successfully played our part in stalling
the passage of the faulty RPD Bill braught by the UPA II. We should
understand the importance of the publick debate and discussion which
hardly takes place in the disability sector. Its not that  only
writing to PMO merrly on twitter would solve our issue. There are
large sections in India who view disabled people as 'divyang'. and
formalizing of the term would do a great damage in the future. No
media house wants to publish anything about the ramification of the
'divyang' why? because there is an agreement with the suggestion. I
lament why we don't have publications taking up disability discourse
seriously. Its an opportune time to expose the politics behind the
terms 'specially-abled' differently-abled' and 'divyang'.

well avinash, we must fight with the govt to get  these things done rather 
than asking the govt as to why you haven't done all these.   There is no 
reason for suddenly taking a hardline against the  after BJP coming to 
power.  Where were you people and others while the earlier govt was  ruling? 
Is this paid/concerted anti-BJP campaign?

Subject: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the 
‘divyang’




As Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi terming dalits as ‘harijan’ sparked off
a political and intellectual fervent among the dalits decades ago,
similarly the Prime Minister  Modi’s new invention ‘divyang’ for
addressing the disabled should spur political awakening and
intellectual currents among the disabled. This is an opportunity to
assert one’s choice independently. Isn’t it ironical that the disabled
people have been unquestioningly burdened with multiple collective
denominations imposed by the political class and the mainstream media
without taking them on board. If Mr Modi really thinks we are
‘divyang’, then what about extending parliamentary entry through Rajya
Sabha to the ‘divyangs’ to run the Upper House smoothly and
efficiently? What about creating Ministry of ‘divyang’ affairs in
2016? Why delaying the implementation of the 3 per cent reservation in
jobs despite the Apex Court’s directions? Mr Modi, merely asking the
nation to address the disabled as ‘divyang’ is insufficient. If you
really mean what you say, please increase the budgetary allocation for
the ‘divyang’ affairs in the forthcoming Budget which was paltry Rs
5000 crore for the year 2014-15. The large number of disabled people
are struggling for the bear minimum, and they are still ‘divyang for
the Prime Minister, it’s a cruel joke with their lives.‘what’s in a
name’, they say.

Dear Friend,

 we should focus on both the aspects because these terminologies
reflect a certain mindset which perpetuate exclusion. according to me,
what i want and what i want myself to be called is of paramount
importance.

Change in terminology would cost the country big money too! Besides, it is not 
about terms it is about mindset. If nomenclature could bring about change, life 
would have not been such a struggle.  It is about attitude! The term Deviang

true,
The present government is long on sloganeering and short on actions.

I have come to expect some new slogan daily...

Anyway, why couldn't they have excluded Divyangs while withdrawing LPG subsidy

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[Poonam]

Dear friends,

To those who prefer to sound holier than thou, let me say this:  yes,
terminology does have relevance. It has relevance to the extent that
it is reflective of a certain mindset; it also has relevance and it
impacts and affects our distinct identity as a group.

Talking about feelings behind the use of an expression seems to have
become a sad with that holier than thou class. One must ask them whose
feelings on earth are they referring to? The feelings of the person
using a certain terminology? Or the feelings of the group of persons
for whom a certain terminology is used? Who decides our feelings?—we
ourselves or others who are persons without disabilities? Obviously,
it is only we who should decide and not they. Fact should be stated in
a forthright and decent way; and, condescension and patronizing is no
substitute for decency. Therefore, i strongly and passionately feel
that the saner element amongst persons with disabilities understand
the hollowness of this coaxing and cajoling by using condescending
expressions like Divyang. Use of this kind of terminology  is not just
patronizing; it also has the effect of diluting our identity as
persons with disabilities, besides, this terminology is also based on
an erroneous and misplaced understanding of the narrative of
disability which tends to equate disability with ones overall
inability.
Friends, on the lighter side, if we are labelled as divine limb, how
will you label those without disabilities? Demon limb?

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[Viraj Kafle]

It is not just a spontaneous Man Ki Baat.All this is coming along with
the weakening of the prospects of a genuine and rights-based
disability legislation. It is indeed not just a matter of
terminologies, in the sense that the terminology itself is a part of
the worst that may be coming. Individuals as well as NGos/advocacy
groups have to act fast.

Hope the present sielence is the lull before the storm?

Isn't it interesting to see no reactions from the NGO sector on the
'divyang'. I guess we will have four 5 editorials in the days to come
in different national dalies. However why NGOs have not come up with

[bala9119]

Although I could not have expressed like Anirban sir, he reverberated
what I had in me. however, let me express my usual, extreme version. I
am not afraid of the dam consequences.
"when there was Godse for Gandhi to provide sanety to India, there
will surely be someone for Modi to render justice." it would be apt if
it is his divyang!
cheers.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[avinash shahi]

If debating terminology is merrly an academic quest then the dignity
gets beating in the popular culture. If dalits had not objected to
'chamar' and other denigrating linguistic barbs they had not sceen the
day when the Constitution accorded them protection and recognition.

[AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[avinash shahi]

As Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi terming dalits as ‘harijan’ sparked off
a political and intellectual fervent among the dalits decades ago,
similarly the Prime Minister  Modi’s new invention ‘divyang’ for
addressing the disabled should spur political awakening and
intellectual currents among the disabled. This is an opportunity to
assert one’s choice independently. Isn’t it ironical that the disabled
people have been unquestioningly burdened with multiple collective
denominations imposed by the political class and the mainstream media
without taking them on board. If Mr Modi really thinks we are
‘divyang’, then what about extending parliamentary entry through Rajya
Sabha to the ‘divyangs’ to run the Upper House smoothly and
efficiently? What about creating Ministry of ‘divyang’ affairs in
2016? Why delaying the implementation of the 3 per cent reservation in
jobs despite the Apex Court’s directions? Mr Modi, merely asking the
nation to address the disabled as ‘divyang’ is insufficient. If you
really mean what you say, please increase the budgetary allocation for
the ‘divyang’ affairs in the forthcoming Budget which was paltry Rs
5000 crore for the year 2014-15. The large number of disabled people
are struggling for the bear minimum, and they are still ‘divyang for
the Prime Minister, it’s a cruel joke with their lives.‘what’s in a
name’, they say.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[Anirban Mukherjee]

Dear Avinash,

if all the demands of the "divyangs" like 3% reservation, nomination
to the upper house etc are accepted, still, this "divyang" would
remain problematic for me. this mythologising of disabled people is an
attempt to shift the focus away from the miserable siuation which most
of us are having to confront with.

on a slightly lighter note, i consider myself an atheist and if our
prime minister's words are to be accepted, then, it underscores that
it's god who made me blind, made someone deaf, someone mentally
retarded. therefore, it reinforces my belief in denouncing an entity
who had compelled me to face a far stiffer struggle for existance than
my non-"divyang" counterparts.

sincerely, Anirban Mukherjee

Amen Anirban

Traditionally, the Indian mythology has depicted disable people as
cruel souls. Now this shift to 'divyang' suggested by the head of the
government through publick broadcast is even more frightening. We have
all reason to discard such unilateral imposition of will by the Prime
Minister.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’

[manohar vaswani]

dear avinash
the government is also indulging in false propaganda to justify the
use of divyang. today in the morning news at 8 A M there was a news
that the hearing impaired students of U P spent some time in
understanding the meaning of divyang and were elated after getting the
meaning of divyang and thanked the prime minister for this new label.
what a joke!
