While I agree that we should be united to form a pressure group to represent an issue, I am not sure if this principal of unity holds good in this context. We are talking of a competition where only talent should matter and not if a person is blind or belongs to a particular community. I seriously don't think that being blind should make you any less talented when it comes to music. This is one of these fields where blind people can compete with the sighted on almost the same ground. So, voting for this boy just because he is blind goes against our demand for equal treatment.

I do not see any discrimination, and perhaps this is the reason we, the blind persons, are not able to lobby and form a pressure group in the wider context. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaja, Kiran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Sunday, September 10, 2006 9:43 PM Subject: Re: [AI] VOTE FOR LITTLE DIWAKAR > May be he has done well, but most of us who are being advised to vote > for him have not heard him perform.
