Sorry Moderator and others I could not rsist this.
Rahul you may be bald by then so you better think of a nicer thing to tempt me while betting. Since I am blind I dont even know if you are bald at present. Seriously we must wait for the committee to do their work, read the draft when it becomes public, respond quickly and with positive points and suggestions and then start the lobbying just like we are now doing for the Copyright amendment.

I hope I am right on the time frame for the benefit of the sector and all those who have worked tirelessly to get us a new law.

Kanchan, if we have the law in less than 5 years I promise to shave my head.
If it takes more than 5 years you must shave your head. Do we have a deal?

On a more serious note, can we help in any way as concerned citizens and
stakeholders?

If I am nearly right you will promise to be less pessimestic and less
cynical in the future. If I am totally wrong then I will forget about the
law for the disabled and join my dharna brothers and sisters.

On a more serious note lets hope it is a good law and hopefully the private
sector is included and hopefully there is accountability.

 Okay, but I also know that the process of new committee, drafting and
commenting on the statute and finally having a brand new law implies status
quo for at least half a decade.
Would be glad if proved wrong not verbally but factually.

George
I can atleast say that now we know we are going towards a new Law. One
barrier broken one step ahead.
Let the committee do its best. They have plenty of material to work on.
For
the last 4 years consultations have been going on and recommendations have
been going to the Ministry. If they take a lot of the suggestions in, we
will have a good law.

Once the draft is ready we will see it on the Ministry's website and we
can
then criticize it add to it or delete it. If it is not good enough we can
restart the process.
The disabled world has changed. Many people know their minds and rights
and
many people have a voice and know how to use it.
Hopefully somebody with some sense has chosen the committee. I know that
many thought they should be on the committee because they represented the
so
called National Organisations, its upto the Ministry to decide. Lets give
the new committee a chance.

 It is really exciting  that a brand new law is to be drafted. I am not
however sure if they have got the best team on board to draft the bill. I
am not sure if this law  will dramatically depart from charity to an
inclusive one.
