This is a mail I received. I have no way of knowing how true it is. It refers to Chennai in India, I Suppose. "kindly read below to know how we, the visually challenged have been projected by the official who is appointed to work for the betterment of us. i request you all to read and suggest the measures to bring this official to public media and to justice. here it goes. the translated statement given below were delivered by Dr. I. Arivanandham, regional director of NIVH (national institute for the visually handicapped) chennai, on 27th august during the conference on "orientation programme on equal opportunities". kindly read below and do something. "people with total blindness do not know how to clean their teath, they do not know of cleanliness, they do not know how to take a clean bath, and even they do not have proper dressing sense. Moreover, a totally blind mother do not know how to lift her new borne child, and they do not know how to breastfeed. totally blind people will always feel that they are insecure. On the other hand, the partially blind are more arrogant. They always hate to have a walking stick. They indulge in frequent conflict while travelling in bus and in public places. Normally partially blind people are more aggressive in nature. They do not want to project themselves as blind, however they will use this disability as a shield to get them out whenever they got caught. They too have a problem of efficiency in discharging their duties efficiently at workplace. There is another classification of blind, that is people who lossed their vision due to accidents and other reasons. They are arrogant than that of the above. They always hate to live after their loss of vision. They always think of killing themselves. They always try to avoid their duties by showing their disability in the first place. Ok, Let us keep all the above aside. If we consider the intellectual capability of the blind, it is 20% of the total person. Because 80% capability arise out of vision, this is a scientific truth. However with this 20%, they project themselves as capable persons and demand employment opportunities in government sectors. They are difficult to manage at workplace. If you help the blind once, they will enforce it as their right upon you from next time. They will become your constant disturbance if you help them once even to cross the road. besides all that, we have no alternatives but to provide them 3% reservation in government employment." note: dear members, the above views are not delivered by any other government official, but by the official who has been appointed to work for the betterment of the visually challenged. after serving in this arena for 25 years, he addressed the government gathering that contained officials from all government departments under the label "his PHD findings". kindly look into this and suggest the measures to bring this official into limelight. this derogatory remarks are not about a single visually challenged, it is not a bout the visually challenged of a particular state, but this demoralising statement is about all the indian visually challenged. kindly prioritise and let us do something about it. for your authentisity and convenience, am pasting the link of a blog that contains his statements in tamil. nandhanpurithal.wordpress/2013/09/02/%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%B5%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%B1%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%B1%E0%AF%8B%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D-%E0%AE%8E%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%81%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D-%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%AE/comment-page-1/#comment-2 let all of us stand abreast to curb this menace."
