here in Europe it is also not common to do that,
though some people ask this question time and
again, whether we blind people tuch the fase.

I think as a rule blind people are not more
tactile than sighted, although I fail to understand why it is so.
Non-blind too do not recognize this tactile need of blind.
Even handshake is not the norm in today's India,
particularly not with opposite gender.
Though I know of friends who seek tactile
exploration of others sometimes to know their
facial features, it is an exception I think.
One of my distinguished professors calls this situation "Cultural diabetes".
One of the reasons for this me thinks is
non-assertion by blind themselves and another is
we in India do not distinguish between loving
touch and s exual touch, let alone touch as a means of communication for blind.

Subject: [AI] Interesting read: Where are you
comfortable being touched and by whom?
I''d love to hear what blind people for whom touch is one of the
preferred method for communication think about their views.
