[AI] Who inherits my Web wealth?
Bijoy Ghosh Who inherits my Web wealth? Suppose I kick the bucket now, what happens to my data in all the social networks, e-mail sites and photo and video sharing sites? How will the sites know I am dead? How long will they keep my data? What if some hacker gets access to my data and finds out what I have been ‘doing’ online? According to a report in SC Magazine, in the US, “One of the places identity thieves search for new victims is the obituary column. By including the date of birth and death, the identity thief can search the Social Security Administration’s Death Index and find the Social Security number of the deceased.” Ok. Let us forget the hackers. How will my family members know what I have stored online? How will they know which sites I have accounts? Even if they know the sites, how will they know the usernames and passwords? Should I list them out and keep the sheet in a sealed envelope only to be opened after God presses my life’s ‘delete’ button? Won’t I sound stupid if I tell my family that the ’super-secret’ envelope to be opened later has ’usernames and passwords’ to social sites? Suppose I change the passwords over a period of time after sealing the envelope, the envelope will become useless. If so, how will they be able to access the data stashed by me across the Web? Will the sites allow access to my family members if they request it? Almost all major social Web sites have their own guidelines on honouring requests for accessing data. But this can be time-consuming and your family must know which sites you have accounts. There are sites such as legacylocker that allow you “to pass access to your online accounts to friends and loved ones. It’s like a digital safety deposit box — you can put passwords to all your online accounts (e-mails, photos, social networks, everything online that requires a login) in it. For every account you store, you can assign a beneficiary, someone to whom you want to entrust your digital content for the future”. But what if legacylocker itself dies? R.

[AI] Interview with Rahul Deshmukh the president of the National Association for the Welfare of Physically Challenged
Interview ‘Visually impaired must shed their inhibitions’ Published: Monday, Jan 30, 2012, 12:30 IST By Soumabha Nandi | Place: Pune | Agency: DNA http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/interview_visually-impaired-must-shed-their-inhibitions_1643745 Visually challenged Rahul Deshmukh, the founder president of the National Association for the Welfare of Physically Challenged (NAWPC), has always appeared in the merit list of every examination he has appeared. Having recently received the super idol award from none other than actor Aamir Khan, Deshmukh is whole-heartedly working for the cause of the physically challenged through his organisation. Soumabha Nandi speaks to the talented social worker. Q: Are the governmental aids and reservations for the visually challenged sufficient? Are they implemented in a proper manner? A: The various policies and aids by the government for the visually challenged exist only on paper but fail when it comes to practical implementation. There are many lacunas in the manner these aids and reservation policies are carried out. The procedure that a visually challenged person needs to follow is very long and complicated, and the results too aren’t guaranteed. The social welfare department of the government does not act efficiently to reach out to the visually challenged and the officials lack compassion in their treatment. The lengthy process of documentation and lack of awareness about these policies among the public make matters further difficult. Besides, the census calculation is flawed and hence the identification of the visually challenged, especially in the rural areas, is not carried out in an efficient manner. Q: What are the problems faced by the visually challenged in being part of society? A: Social acceptance is the basic and the most vital problem that we face in our society. The visually challenged are looked down upon because of their limitations and at the same time discriminated from the rest. This causes inferiority complex among them thus affecting their confidence and self-belief. However, I still believe that the visually challenged must take initiatives and shed their inhibitions to prove themselves. I have learnt this through my own experience. I was looked down upon in the college for the first six months until I proved myself. Q: What have been the recent initiatives taken up by NAWPC? A: We recently organised a special scholarship innovative programme wherein nearly 150 visually challenged students were given scholarships by NAWPC. Besides that, we have started a computer training centre for the physically challenged, which will enable them to compete in the changing scenario. The digital library of the organisation has been a very positive and innovative project, which is helping students to a large extent. When I was studying in college, I had to largely depend on others to help me read books. However, the digital library has enabled the visually challenged children to pursue their knowledge gaining exercise in an independent manner. Q: What are the challenges faced by the NAWPC? A: Financial constraints is the root cause of every problem that we face. We have not received any government grants and hence have to carry out various activities for the physically challenged without any permanent financial support. Besides, lack of space has forced us to give up various projects we had in mind. For example, we wanted to establish a special hostel for the physically challenged but do not have sufficient space for the same. We aren’t getting the kind of support we seek. Being a young social worker who is visually challenged, it was difficult for people to have faith in me and my abilities, and this is the biggest challenge we are facing even today. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

Re: [AI] How many per cent visually challenged use internet in India?
Thanks Kakarla sir for sharing across your district's happy saga. But in majority of mini districts across India, story is far from satisfactory. Specially, in northern and eastern India, fellow beings are far behind in availing internet facility. Further, it might sound as joke given acute poverty and other inescapable harsh realities in second most populated country like ours, But can't we lobby for fundamental entitlement of internet usage for visually challenged in India?

[AI] For the 1st time, car rally for visually impaired in Pune
Friends those who are in Pune, get registered yourselves. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/for-the-1st-time-car-rally-for-visually-impaired-in-city/915113/0 Organisers of the event call it a “rally with a difference” and indeed it is one. On March 4, Pune will witness its first car rally for the visually impaired. The rally, which will be flagged off at 8 am from Phoenix Market City Mall, Kalyani Nagar, is expected to get registrations from around 125 drivers. The rally will follow a strict pattern - the participants will drive the car, while a visually impaired navigator in the car will direct the driver by reading through an instruction manual written in Braille. The participants will have no clue of the route before the start. The driver will act only in accordance with his visually impaired partner’s instructions. “The navigator will read the Braille instructions and direct the driver on where to turn, what speed to go at and for how much distance,” said Shivam Arren of Poona United Round Table 144, which is organising the rally. Similar rallies have earlier been organised in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Nagpur, Nashik and so on, while Pune enters the list this year. The rally will cover nearly 65 km. “It will consider the factors of time, speed and distance, but it is a rally and not a race,” said Arren. The route will have 10 check points in place for the cars. To regulate the speeds of the vehicles and discourage undue competition, some strictures have been put in place. At the flag-off, all the cars will hit the road in the matter of a minute. On the basis of this, every car will have an assigned time to reach every check point. Both early and late arrivals will be penalised, the former more heavily. The rally has been planned with multiple objectives in mind. It will raise funds for the Poona Blind Men’s Association, through entry fee and sponsorship. “The participants will also get to interact with a visually impaired person throughout the journey, a chance they may not otherwise get. It will also help boost the confidence of the navigators,” added Arren. The rally has already received around 50 registrations, and the organisers are in the process of obtaining requisite traffic and police permissions. The participants will drive their own cars at the event. Every participant will be awarded a certificate, while the top three arrivals will be given trophies. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

[AI] Visually-challenged students learning management at the IIMs, inspiring others
that we were scheduled to put out.” He added that the group had forwarded Suresh the slides from the presentation that he was supposed to present in the class. Suresh read them with the help of his software JAWS and explained the slides impeccably during the final presentation. Suresh Reddy (top-left) in class at IIM Calcutta Still unbelieving of the fact that his dream of coming to a premier management college in the country had actually come true, Suresh says that after his accident at a young age, his parents tried to dissuade him from studying further. However, he was more resolute than that. When he was 14, Suresh went to Bangalore where he joined Shree Ramana Maharishi School for the blind. The school was instrumental in building up his confidence in his capabilities, Suresh says. He went further on to complete his graduation from Bangalore. Suresh had also been a member of an NGO called Enable India that helped disabled people get a job. Immediately after completing his graduation, Suresh got a job as a Knowledge Marketing Analyst at Catalyst Management Services, where he worked for around a year. From there he shifted jobs three times before landing up at Wipro where he was an instructional designer. In all, Suresh gathered six years of total work experience in various companies and experimented with various job profiles before joining IIM-C. During college itself, Suresh had enrolled into the Samarthanam Trust that enabled higher education amongst disabled people. While his career progressed, Suresh used to attend weekend lectures by corporate professionals arranged by the trust. Empowered by the lectures, Suresh attempted the CAT for the first time in 2008 and managed 74 percentile. Suresh attempted the exam two more times before he scored in the 94.7 percentile and got a call from IIM Calcutta. Impressing the faculty members by his sheer hard work, Suresh was able to convert the interview call into an admission call and today he is on the verge of successfully completing his first year as a PGP student in the institute. Although Suresh is extremely fond of listening to music and going for walks, a competitive atmosphere and a tough schedule does not leave him any time to relax. “So far my journey has been a mild struggle as far as the studies are concerned. Hopefully the second year will be a more relaxed one for me,” Suresh says. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

Lissy, your advise is well-received. But, As far as my far-sightedness goes, the matter is not only about lack of awareness. Sweet-talk, most of times brushes the real crux under the carpet.

Re: [AI] This time not Geeha, but Tony kurian, was not given ticket by Indigo, why? was told, he is blind
No, gentle words cement dealings with gentle people. further, you are taken for granted. Disability is like caste in India. people talk, write, lecture to abolish discrimination, but when it comes to practice, they intentially forget their own prescriptions. our methods can varry, but goal is the same to spread awareness, and educate people about disability issues. So just leave this here only, and get back to work. Thank you.

The film, directed by Pramod Joshi, marks Anupam Kher's debut in Marathi cinema. "When you play the role of a differently abled person then you discover how brilliantly they live their lives. This is a tribute to all the blind or visually impaired people...hope everyone would like it," he told reporters at the music launch of the film here . It was Anupam Kher who at the last minute suggested that his character in the film should be blind. "Everything was difficult as I had not done preparation for the role which was decided at the last minute. I did not want to do it in a cliche manner; I wanted it to be realistic. We did not want to have a blind man with a stick; this man is full of life-- happy and smiling," Anupam Kher said. "In the film, I play the role of a person who talks about vision but is blind. I took this decision of playing blind character just minutes before I started shooting. We intend to spread the message that one should live life to the fullest," the award winning actor said. The 56-year-old Bollywood veteran depended on his director for getting nuances of the Marathi language. "I am doing a Marathi film for the first time.

[AI] Confessions of a ‘Bad’ Teacher
e their hands and ask for clarification. Sometimes, they just stare at us like zombies. Few things are more excruciating for a teacher than leading a class that’s not learning. Good administrators use the evaluation processes to support teachers and help them avoid those painful classroom moments — not to weed out the teachers who don’t produce good test scores or adhere to their pedagogical beliefs. Worst of all, the more intense the pressure gets, the worse we teach. When I had administrators breathing down my neck, the students became a secondary concern. I simply did whatever my assistant principal asked me to do, even when I thought his ideas were crazy. In all honesty, my teaching probably became close to incoherent. One week, my assistant principal wanted me to focus on arranging the students’ desks to fit with class activities, so I moved the desks around every day, just to show that I was a good soldier. I was scared of losing my job, and my students suffered for it. That said, given all the support in the world, even the best teacher can’t force his students to learn. Students aren’t simply passive vessels, waiting to absorb information from their teachers and regurgitate it through high-stakes assessments. They make choices about what they will and won’t learn. I know I did. When I was a teenager, I often stayed up way too late, talking with friends, listening to music or playing video games. Did this affect my performance on tests? Undoubtedly. Were my teachers responsible for these choices? No. My best teachers, the ones I still think about today, exposed me to new and exciting ideas. They created classroom environments that welcomed discussion and intellectual risk-taking. Sometimes, these teachers’ lessons didn’t sink in until years after I’d left their classrooms. I’m thinking about Ms. Leonard, the English teacher who repeatedly instructed me to “write what you know,” a lesson I’ve only recently begun to understand. She wasn’t just teaching me about writing, by the way, but about being attentive to the details of my daily existence. It wasn’t Ms. Leonard’s fault that 15-year-old me couldn’t process this lesson completely. She was planting seeds that wouldn’t bear fruit in the short term. That’s an important part of what we teachers do, and it’s the sort of thing that doesn’t show up on high-stakes tests. How, then, should we measure students and teachers? In ninth grade, my students learn about the scientific method. They learn that in order to collect good data, scientists control for specific variables and test their impact on otherwise identical environments. If you give some students green fields, glossy textbooks and lots of attention, you can’t measure them against another group of students who lack all of these things. It’s bad science. Until we provide equal educational resources to all students and teachers, no matter where they come from, we can’t say — with any scientific accuracy — how well or poorly they’re performing. Perhaps if we start the conversation there, things will start making a bit more sense. William Johnson is a teacher at a public high school in Brooklyn who writes on education for the Web site Gotham Schools. A version of this op-ed appeared in print on March 4, 2012, on page SR6 of the New York edition with the headline: Confessions of a ‘Bad’ -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

Re: [AI] Separate department for disability affairs
Wow! Cheery news indeed. At least Government has come to recognise an independent body for disabled. Certainly, great transformation is in the offing. As far as its functionalities will be concerned, that will depend on how disabled themselves will lobby and pressurise government to score expectedly.

Re: [AI] Derogatory remark on BBC
I listened the tape yesterday only. And Mr Anil's remarks like "lula and langda" are certainly objectionable. He is a prominent member of election watch, no? then his mental faculty is quite comprehensible there. Context was candidates who have criminal background and fighting in election, but words? which he used were not supposed to be broadcasted. Someone has rightly put it, its a manifestation of societal attitude which once again reflected on BBC. Ashik, Thank you you noticed this with clear evidence.

Re: [AI] Derogatory remark on BBC
It is surprising to hear many of you understand the context much better and drub this as small issue and rest including me are blowing the issue out of proportion. Let's talk little bit about Indian Book I mean, constitution,article 15 of the longest written constitution clearly articulates: "discrimination on the part of race, birth, gender, sex are punishable." It is intrinsic understanding, Lula, langda and andha, may hert the sentiment of millions of Indians. So politics of language comes here and plays a transforming role. Why we always stress on civilised linguistic articulation? in order to empower people and not to hert anyone. And BBC being public medium, must take care while taking in to consideration the concerns of listening audience. Note: my personal views: no particulars are targetted. On 3/17/12, B. R.

Re: [AI] Anil KumarSagar has been sent to disabled welfare department as special secretary In UP.
Sir, whether this change would bring cheers on disabled people's faces or not, let leave this on time. But, DM of State's capital as special secretary in disabled wellfare department can be analysed in two ways. 1. there is a possibility SP higher echelons may have punished him for being loyal to BSP having coming to power. 2. Disabled concerns and issues must have struc a cord in Akhilesh's heart, hence abled administrator has been appointed to look after their concerns. Hope second understanding may have made an impact in his mind to transfer him as special secretary.:) On 3/21/12, avinash shahi wrote: > Friends > > I am mulling a reshuffling in UP, DM of Lucknow has been shifted as > special Secretary in disabled welfare department in UP. what a regime > change. thought-provoking. > http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-03-19/lucknow/31210006_1_special-secretary-principal-secretary-ias-officers > > > > -- > "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen > or even touched.

Thanks to Neha Stray dogs in Jawaharlal Nehru University: Visually challenged on hunger strike Neha Lalchandani, TNN Mar 29, 2012, 05.48AM IST Tags:Visually challenged|DELHI: Fed up with the rising number of dog bites and the alleged mishandling of situation by the administration , visually challenged students of Jawaharlal Nehru University have threatened to go on a hunger strike from Wednesday night. Representative bodies of disabled students said they had, to no avail, asked the administration to come up with a dog management plan by Tuesday. . "There is a dog lover's community that is not permitting the administration from taking action even though most of the senior professors accept that the number of dogs has risen beyond control. We want the dogs to be relocated," said Sonu Yadav, a visually challenged PhD student. He added that a march would be taken out by the students from Ganga Dhaba to the administrative block on Wednesday night, after which six students would sit on an indefinite fast while another six would go on a relay fast. A demonstration has also been planned for Thursday morning. In an RTI response to the students , the university admitted that 246 cases of dog bites had been reported between Jan 2010 and September 2011. A visually challenged student said: "Our mobility is restricted and we are fearful and wary of stepping out alone. We have to constantly depend on escorts as we have no way to defend ourselves effectively." However, a section of students also came out strongly against the demand for relocation of the dogs. "There is no sense in relocation since their places would be taken over by other dogs very soon. JNU is a huge campus and people should stop throwing food for the dogs," said one. Amita Singh, chairperson of JNU's dog committee said, "Both males and female dogs are being sterilized . They are also been vaccinated for rabies and three other diseases," she said. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

[AI] Café in Kotturpuram has menu in Braille
I remember, few days before, some of Access Indians were deliberating on accessible Cafe's and shopping mauls. So here, this innitiative is of great significance for upcoming days in the country. To see where this article originally posted: go to http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Caf-in-Kotturpuram-has-menu-in-Braille/articleshow/12476007.cms?intenttarget=no CHENNAI: Kalakkal Cafe's menu has just about a dozen items but it's written three ways - in Braille, large block letters, and in pictures. The cafe, which will open in Kotturpuram on Saturday, will cater to disabled and non-disabled people over 18, and has ramps, eating aids and tactile walls. The physiotherapy room at Vidya Sagar, an organisation working on disability issues, will be converted into the cafe on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. "After work, disabled people just have to go home and watch TV. There aren't too many affordable and accessible places where youngsters can hang out with people their age," says Anu Shankar, who runs the youth programme at Vidya Sagar. "Kalakkal is probably the only inclusive cafe in India. It's an experiment in diversi-tea," she laughs. They've tied up with Winners Bakery for the food and the most expensive item is a sandwich for 25. "Disabled people spend a lot on private transport so we wanted them to be able to relax and have fun for under 50. We chose food that they can eat on their own without help from a caregiver," she says. The colours, fonts and pictures on the menu have been designed keeping in mind the needs of people with low vision or those who cannot read. Two disabled people will help serve customers. There will be a live band with local musicians and space for dancing. "Running a cafe is not our area of expertise. We're hoping this experiment will put the idea of an inclusive, affordable space into the minds of entrepreneurs who want to open restaurants," says Rajul Padmanabhan, director of Vidya Sagar. They've been putting up posters and calling friends to get the word out. For the past few days, 26-year-old Dheepakh has been going to colleges to put up posters. "It's open to all. I'm hoping everyone can hang out together," says Dheepakh, a wheelchair user who has finished college. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

[AI] Braille newspaper shows blind new world
begs the question, why hasn't he sacked his partner and found someone else to broker deals with local advertisers. "I still want a future with them and hope they can turn it around but I am starting to think about getting someone new," says Thorat, who refuses to identify the company that's said to be searching for ads for Sparshdnyan. Thorat, who also produces documentary films about India's wildlife, says he covers his Rs 30,000 administrative costs by selling wildlife photos and films. A group of supporters pay the monthly bill of Rs 30,000 for paper. Since the paper is written in Braille, postage is free. "It's important that this newspaper be published," says Suchita Shaha, a Mumbai psychologist who has raised Rs 50,000 from friends and neighbours to help cover Thorat's expenses. "It's not like it is in the West. There are no facilities here in India for the blind, no seeing-eye dogs. We need to do more to help." Despite his difficulties attracting advertisers, Thorat says he believes that there's a demand for more Braille newspaper coverage. An estimated 10 million Indians are visually impaired and within a year, Thorat plans to launch a daily title. "It will require about Rs 400,000 and this time I'll be running it as a proper business investment only," he says. One reason he's optimistic about a daily is that government policy in Maharashtra prevents public-sector advertising in publications that don't publish at least weekly. A daily Braille newspaper, Thorat says, would draw ads for various employment schemes and other government programs. "I still think private companies will come around," Thorat says. "Right now, the blind in India just aren't being looked at as consumers. Companies don't realise that they still buy hair oil and toothpaste and cellphones." Sitting next to a roadside tea stall where local men sipped on steaming masala tea, despite the oppressive Mumbai summer heat and humidity, Bhat, the Air India official, says she's come to love her bi-weekly newspaper fix. "It seems like I start saying 'is it here yet' on the first day of every month until it finally comes," Bhat says with a gleeful laugh. -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

Re: [AI] Attention: Disability study brings out hard facts in Odisha
Hi merchant Your pain is shared by most of us visually challenged collectively. Things are not turning as they should move. But still one has to live, and strive to live with dignity. I just would like to add what Immanuel Wallerstein wrote in last year published book: "The Modern World-System IV: Centrist Liberalism Triumphant, 1789-1914, pp xvii + 377, $26.95. "Inequality is a fundamental reality of the modern world-system, as it has been of every known historical system. What is different, what is particular to historical capitalism is that equality has been proclaimed as its objective (and indeed as its achievement) – equality in the marketplace, equality before the law, the fundamental social equality of all individuals endowed with equal rights. The great political question of the modern world, has been how to reconcile the theoretical embrace of equality with the continuing and increasingly acute polarisation of real-life opportunities and satisfactions that has been its outcome" (>W4, p 143). This applies to our struggle also. So keep nurturing hope for betterment. And don't remember who said but said quite correctly: when going gets tough, tough gets going" So let's cheers man.

[AI] Google Drive detailed: 5 GB for free, launching next week for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS
Google Drive detailed: 5 GB for free, launching next week for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS 16th April 2012 by Brad McCarty Sometimes we get lucky, and today is one of those days. I got a draft release from a partner of Google’s upcoming Google Drive service and it gives away a wealth of information about how Google plans to take on the incumbent Dropbox. The short story? 5 GB of storage, and it launches next week, likely on Tuesday at http://drive.google.com Now let’s talk details. It’s no surprise that it will roll out for free. What’s interesting though is that Google is planning to start everyone with 5 GB of storage. Of course you can buy more, but that trumps Dropbox’s 2 GB that is included with every account. Dropbox does make it easy to get more space, including 23 GB of potential upgrades for HTC users. What’s also interesting is the wording related to how the system will work. It’s been long-thought that Windows integration will come easy, but that getting the Google Drive icon into the Mac a la Dropbox would be a bit harder. From what we’re reading, Google Drive will work “in desktop folders” on both Mac and Windows machines, which still leaves the operation question unanswered. But there is one very solid piece of news – Google Drive is expected to launch in the middle of next week. Given how big companies such as Apple, Google and the rest operate, I’m placing my bets on Tuesday, but Wednesday is also a popular day for Google updates. In fact, TechCrunch seems to have gotten their hands onto the app itself. Now as for the reliability of the information? It’s not at all uncommon for big companies to launch with partners for new features. When that happens, the partners will often-times have a heads up to integration and specifics, and that’s exactly what appears to have happened here as it did with the Lucidchart leak from last week. We’ll have to wait and see exactly how it all works out, but let’s just say that our earlier prediction of in-app document editing is pretty solid as well, given the nature of the release that was sent to us today. But the question remains – Can Google Drive hold a candle to Dropbox Source: http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/04/16/google-drive-detailed-5-gb-for-free-launching-next-week-for-mac-windows-android-and-ios/ -- "The best things and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or even touched.

Re: [AI] 'You know what they say? love is blind', By Joanna Moorhead
How many disabled couples prefer to go for semon/blood tests before entering in to cohabitation? Very few, almost none. And if disabled parants are well-settled in life in all spheres take for in economic-social and educational fronts, then, I don't think there is any sin committed by blind parants or any other disabled parants by prefering child with disability. Many disabled have done exceptionally well in twentieeth Century; And now, in 21st century has many advanced resources, and emancipated mindsets to accomodate them and nourish them. But to bring such Children to this world recquires determination,courage, and innate love to accept them with known disability. What if disabled were continue to be killed in all countries As Pluto and Aristotle suggested? And Hitler's Faszist tyrany exicuted disabled without any human rights considerations. We have come a long way, and now all diversities of individuals must be accepted and cherished. If one thinks He/she is able to rear and take care of his upcoming disabled child, then go ahead with procreation.

But one big shortcoming I'm experiencing while going Mobile version of The Hindu. It doesn't display the all news items of a particular section. like if I have to read National items mobile version only displays six seven items, where as The website Index version displays 20 items.

Re: [AI] Private companies could soon be penalised for not hiring people with disabilities
Valid apprehentions raised by you all. moreover, it is we, who can work collectively as pressure group in reminding and making government agencies accountable to their pledged visionary goals. There is, therefore, close scrutiny of dent made by both Governmental and non-governmental employment providing institutions may hasten spedy intake of disabled in their institutions as productive force. further, cent per cent agree from yu Rajasekhar sir, Education is the real boon which can arrest the trauma and stigma attached with disability to some extent. hence,government and NGOs working in the education field must target disabled residing in hinterland of the country. This widening gap between lives of urban-based disabled and rural-residing disabled must be bridged. Hope such NGOs who crave for media attention and donations by only restricting their activities to urban locales,will think in much broader way and for much larger goal. And can't we have audit for corruption checks in the institutions working for disabled? I kno many have bought luxurious cars and glittering homes within few years after either starting NGO or joining it... Note: exceptional NGOs are out of my wrath.

[AI] Writers provided by DU colleges script a tale of horror for disabled students
Thank you Sanchit for sharing this rarely publisised problem of ours. And I've changed the subject line to draw the attention of more readers. Very inate problem, I don't know how to overcome it. Most of us are not able to write on Laptops/desktops, and if university allows us to go along with our own arranged scribes, cases of scenior writers are very common. And Universities are very lethargic in facilitating scribes. what to do? Access India should discuss... And I urge to all Delhi University students to get united and pressurise concerned colleges to re conduct exams in above discussed cases. I pray justice will be served to these graduation students.

Re: [AI] Exams on computer. (In response to DU Writers)....
Since you people are talking about writing exams on computer, I also thought to share my experience. but before I go ahead, let me make it clear at the outset, that we have very imformal exams in JNU. No centralised exams at all. All centres are autonomous in conducting mid-semester/end-semester tests. No roll numbers hick-ups. And when I write my exam in Centre for the Study of Law and Governance, My teacher himself-herself reads out question papers for me. I wrote mail to my faculties and requested them to allow me to appear with Laptop, so that I can experience sence of self-satisfaction and independence. Further, More E-text reading with spell attention and writing practice can increase typing speed. believe me!chatting is also very productive to increase one's speed and aquire accuracy. provided what and how you chatt... finally,since Many Universities like DU and JNU are about to provide Laptops to all enrolled blind students, so better we start working on this aspect, so scribe pain will be cured for ever.

Re: [AI] 'India Inclusion Summit' held at hotel Taj, Banglore by SAP Labs
Two questions coming to my mind. 1. What is SAP? I don't know. 2. Times of India's headline: Community duty towards Special children. special children? why not children like other children?

Re: [AI] Listen guys: DU announces foreign trip for students withdisabilities
Thank you Vikas sir for enlightening responses. Struggle waged by DU Disabled students and teachers has compeled Administration to facilitate conducive atmosphere for studying to some extent. And undoubtedly, DU disabled community deserves kudos. Further, I just wish to share, My initial giggling was not an affirmation of VC's announcement. But thought to post this interesting news with added sensation Afterall, we all should know what the almighty VC says on issues regarding our needs and aspirations. These press archives can be very instrumental for further reminder to VC for his paid earned accolades. And via this mail-threads, we also got to know, what student and teacher fraternity is doing to get our deserved due.

[AI] Interview with Blind Chinese Activist Chen Guangcheng: A Change Is Gonna Come
Chen Guangcheng on freedom, violence, and the possibility of a revolution in China. INTERVIEW BY ISAAC STONE FISH | DECEMBER 2012 In terms of foreign policy, the United States places too much importance on interests. It should place importance on humanity's values. Democracy, rule of law, constitutionalism, human rights, especially human rights -- they should make that number one! COMMENTS (2) SHARE: Share on twitterTwitter Share on redditReddit More... Before my escape, many friends among human rights activists, common people, and intellectuals felt a very strong sense of powerlessness. Some friends told me that after this thing happened, this voice of powerlessness is almost entirely gone. I think it's really great. I've always wanted the common people to believe that one's own strength can change everything. When China's leaders talk about reform, they mean go slowly and change a little bit as you go. The precondition is that you definitely want to change, but you don't want to change too fast, or too thoroughly. [Laughs] Step by step, going slowly. But if you don't actively reform, you will passively get reformed. The central government definitely knew I was illegally detained at home. As for how the local authorities invented lies to frame me to put me in prison, as for how they persecuted my entire family, [the central government] didn't necessarily know about the details. Yet now, six months later, I still haven't seen the central government follow the country's laws and keep its promise and investigate and deal with those officials who recklessly and illegally committed crimes. If ordinary Chinese people heard about what happened to me, I don't think they would be able to believe the level of cruelty. The shamelessness of the powers that be would exceed their imagination. Just like they don't know they have a lot of strength to change the future of their country. If I met Xi Jinping, I would very clearly tell him that any "powers that be" that don't follow the will of the people and depend instead on oppressing the common people and suppressing the will of the people to protect their rule absolutely cannot last for long. The Communist Party is no exception. Throughout Chinese history, has any emperor said they want to hand over power? Every emperor wants his power to last generation after generation. But can they? The Communist Party cannot monopolize all of the power in the country forever. This is a reality they must accept. I think China needs a leader like Chiang Ching-kuo [the son of Nationalist Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek and the Taiwanese president from 1978 to 1988 who laid the groundwork for Taiwan's democratic transformation]. Someone who can keep up with the trends of society. Someone who knows that to use power is easy, but knowing when not to use power is difficult. The level of the Chinese people's determination seems very similar to the situation in Taiwan in the late 1970s. Society is in a near-lawless state of affairs. The rights of the common people have been violated. Confucius had a common standard of evaluation. Universal values. Principles of fairness and impartiality. Principles of transparency and freedom of speech. If you go against these, it's not correct. If it is not correct, it's evil. If it's evil, can other people not interfere? The relationship among countries and the relationship among families are very similar. If you treat your wife and kids badly, even hurt them or kill them, should your neighbors not intervene? If I were his neighbor, I would rush over without hesitation and seize the weapon from his hand. Of course he can say, "This is my household affair; you cannot meddle." But this is not his household affair. He's gone past the limit, and now it's the world's affair. The possibility of China facing a revolution in 2013 is pretty big. This is something that the powers that be in China understand more than anyone else. It's a pity that international society still does not understand this and has still not prepared. America should immediately start moving from dealing with China's powers that be to dealing with the Chinese people. It definitely won't be like 1989. China is at a stage where it has to change. We're already at a crucial historic moment. Whether it's civilized or government-driven, and potentially violent, a transformation is inevitable.

Re: [AI] A seminar on RTI and Domestic Violence for VI women
This initiative is certainly awakening. but, why only women can attend? this is really incomprehensible.

Re: [AI] Untimely Demise of Rahul Cherian
I'm still unable to believe that Mr Cherian is no more. personal loss to me, and certainly disability movement has lost one of its 'visionary' intellectual and activist. When The Inclusive Planet was started, we talked hours to facilitate quality readings to print impaired across the globe. and in no time we uploaded more than 2000 books and articles on Inclusive Planet. It was the time when Copyright act was about to be enacted and we were very fearful that if concessions were not granted to print impaired, how a poor blind will afford such costly readings? He very generously offered me a job at the centre of Inclusive Planet for public policy Chennai. But I declined due to my regular enrollment and academic compulsion at JNU.

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