Of course it is very shocking and surprising that, such occurrences are
taking place in 21st century and that too in the metropolis like Mumbai. The
Matter must be sternly dealt with and culprits should be brought to justice.
Such a severe punishment should be meted out to these school authorities
that, no other school not only in this city but across the country dare
commit such inhuman offense in future. Shadab has come out with a very
subtle, apt and yet interesting point that, admission is denied to a child
whose parents are blind, but what about those children who are absolutely no
parents at all.

A blind woman's son has been denied admission and nobody has anything to
say? The school believes that she will not be able to manage her son's home
work. Shocking to note that this is happening in a city like Mumbai. Can
Mr.Ashok Agarwal do something about this? This kind of discrimination is
ridiculous.

Dear Friends,
There are a number of schools who refuse admission to disabled students.
But I was really shocked to learn that a boy was denied admission to some
of Mumbai schools simply because his mother is blind. The reasons given
is "how will the parent manage the child's homework". I think this is
ridiculous. The school must be stripped of their license. This is case
of a centre of learning behaving operating in the dark ages. Whether
there should be home work at all is of course another matter of debate.
I understand that there are schools in Delhi too who have turned children
of blind parents away for the same reason.
