It is not bashing. It is pointing out. If most of the things still online are inaccessible, then government needs to make at least its own services fully accessible.
Divyang divyang chillanay say kya hoga! -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Ajay Minocha Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2016 12:56 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Most apps inaccessible for disabled Its on you if you see it half empty or half full. Though I agree few of the apps are really unmanageable but situation is certainly getting better. If the world has to accommodate us then we should also deal with it with pacience, Bashing isn't the only solution.
