Hi Avinash, I understand your feelings, however, I must say the truth doesn't change just because we are unaware of it. Attempts are being made to make the tricolor accessible to VI people, especially by some organizations in Bangaluru. And we don't have to be too resistant if things like hoisting national flag on buildings like educational institutions etc are being planned. I always felt very proud when I saw tricolor being hoisted in my school and college. Remember there are other students also there apart from VI students. One more thing, it is not allowed to hoist the national flag on our houses except on some special occasions like independence day, republic day etc and many organizations have been demanding to allow the ordinary people this right. I think we should focus our energies on bringing positive change to the society and our own lives as well. Best regards, Sandeep
