#Got no sight.... but got indomitable #vision.... IIT denied admission for Karthik, but Stanford welcomed him with both hands. #Karthik Sawhney’s inspirational story is a shame for the Indian educational system and a light for the next generation of kids who want to fight against the unjust practices in our system.In India, blind students were not given an opportunity to learn science and maths once they complete their 8th standard. They were forced to take other subjects like arts, literature or music.But Karthik Sawhney had different plans in his mind. He wasso much passionate about studying science and maths. So, he decided to face the officials with the help of his parents, relatives and an NGO campaign. Eventually, the CBSE board had to give up. They showed the green signal and Karthik appeared for his CBSE Board exams.Guess what, he took the whole world by surprise by scoring 96%. He lost the first battle. However his fight was similar to the spider who eventually built his web in the 8th attempt.Karthik Sawhney dreamed of becoming a software developer and his vision was to build software application which can be accessed by people with different disabilities. What a stunning vision?Its a shame on IIT and India that we were not able to let this boy continue his higher education. We denied an opportunity for him to try his potential, alongside the bright brains of physically able students at our IIT’s.This is where we need to salute the likes of Stanford, MIT, Harvard and Oxford. Stanford was one step ahead by welcoming Karthik to do his Engineering degree at their campus.Karthik has taught us a lesson –“No disability should stop you from achieving your dream“When you see lives like these you start believing more in yourself and your self confidence goes up instantly. It is imperative to understand that you will have to face roadblocks towards your journey. At the same time please remember ” All great men have sacrificed something or the other to reach greatness”.You should be willing to lose something, if you want to gain something else. For example if you want to achieve good health you should be willing to exercise and maintain proper diet.
