Rajesh half a decade is 5 years. My bet is 2 years. Lets se when the time comes as to who is right and who is proved wrong. 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.
