Dear Dr. Vipin,
I am not sure that my earlier message on AI reached you, as I didn't get the
feedback and the same mail in my PC. Since, most of the AI members are of
the opinion that sexual harassment of VI women is a very serious issue and
can be discussed on AI, please respect the majority opinion and contribute.
I am sure, with your vast experience and interaction with students, you
should be having constructive suggestions on the subject. We will be
obliged, if you share. Let us have your contribution and not objection.
Please, let us stop this conflict here. I am very encouraged to sign out of
this AI, as I don't understand the negative discussion on such an important
subject. Kethan, please note this.

Friends,

We at times get into too much of arguments.  There is no need to start 
another group but hhis group can discuss anything related to blindness. 
Otherwise there is a group called sayeverything.  Please close this topic.

No sir, though, you have not proven your point at all, but i still think 
personal comments should be avoided, If i like, i can start to think that 
earth is flat and nobody will object it as long as i don't argue that earth 
is really flat and try to convince others to believe the same. But if i 
decide that i will keep on insisting my view point till all persons in the 
world agree that earth is flat, this will not work at all.
Still, i am not able to understand why sexual harassment of Blind women is 
beyond the scope of this list. When we discuss each and every problem faced 
by VIs then why to exclude this one? Are we selfish enough to think that 
since we majority of male will not face  this problem therefore it is off 
topic? Now, i realize why one of  our friend, Rajesh Parakh went so far to 
put forward his thoughts.

Such personal remarks should be condemned by the law abiding members of this

No one has the right to insult anybody though one may differ with some one 
in the highest possible frequency! This is your democratic right.

I have proved my point beyond doubt.
These personal remarks in no way going to either hurt me nor I would like 
that I should reciprocate you in this public foray.
Who is a disgrace to whom could be proved by reasons and deeds!

But here it is not in my agenda of discussion!
these personal remarks certainly could put you in trouble.
Laws regarding defamation are very strong.
In case I file a suit against you would have to deposit your passport and 
visit for attending the courts here.
But rest assured I am not going to do any of such thing.
With care and concern,
Vip

That's indeed very true. But my another concern is that those poor students 
who have to listen to similar things in their class room and it can actually 
give a bad name to visually impaired community.

Dear sir. Talking about sex and sexual harassment are two different things. 
If the mail I am responding to was written by a college lecturer, I am 
afraid, we can't stop this evil. You really need a refresher course for

so much negative discussion  about a very importance issue. In Hindi, there

Dear Dr. Vipin,
Since most of the members of AI, including me feel strongly that sexual 
harassment of VI women is not beyond this forum, pleases respect the 
majority and go along. Let us be more meaningful players than police. I am 
sure that you, with your experience have some constructive suggestions on 
the subject. Please let us have the benefit of them rather than your 
objection. I am sure that you will oblige rather than object.
regards

The issue arising out of airport incidence is issue related to accessible

On this issue there is no such deviation.
Such topics are rather encouraged on the list.

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-07 Thread Dr. Vipin K. Malhotra
At least my friends have realized that this topic is a deviation from the 
central focus of this group.
I hope in future they would find a legitimate forum to raise such issues.
As far as my friend who suggested that this issue could be raised on a group 
called dreams and romance. I don't think he made any invaluable suggestion. 
The issue of sexual harassment is a love crime it could always be dealt on 
such  forums. If we could discuss issues arising out of virus and malwares 
on this list related to technology. Than why not such maladies be discussed 
in the pertinent list. It is a crime related to romance and emotions. So its 
remedy  could always be sought on such list. Where people should understand 
the value of some one's emotions.
Discussing sex is not a crime rather as Freud puts it is the motive force in 
guiding human behavior whether professional or otherwise.
In this list we can discuss cyber crimes not crimes related to sex.
The discussion should be conclusive only when every body is convinced about 
certain things which are related to his argument and presumptions.
It is always good to argue only healthy arguments could lead us towards a 
rational approach in life!
I would keep on writing till you people are convinced that law has its on 
importance. No one could let himself be convinced that he or she is above 
law!
With regards,
Vip

Because, like it or not, everybody can't resist the urge to speak up,
because this group has been democratic and people are quite used to
spelling out their views so freely, it is difficult to restrain
ourselves from commenting on something we either feel so strongly about,
or we so heartily hate.

You need not go so far Rajesh. It's simple: anything relating to
disability or affecting us as disabled persons, specially VI, can be
discussed in this forum. 

We are educated and well-placed and certainly are in a position to
create awareness about issues that affect us a great deal, such as the
insensitive airlines. Behaving as human isn't certainly used here as an
excuse to discuss off-topic things. As someone pointed out, if stray
dogs are not off-topic, this can't be off-topic as well.

Appologies for sounding too interventionist, but I will feel happy if
people get the point.

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-07 Thread Hari Raghavan
Hi friends,

Frankly I have  always felt that topics not central to our charter attract
the maximum responses. Having said this, the point has got lost somewhere in
the verbal volleys that have been circulating. Noone disagrees that
everybody's time IS important and any topic important to any member is not
to be trivialised. But the fact is that there are many other groups where
such general topics can be raised and an exchange of views sought.

And while I can always unsubscribe if I find the number of irrelevant mails
too much, as someone had suggested, the fact remains that AI really helps us
solve our technology, accesibility and work related problems which is why we
cannot afford to get off the list. And that's why we joined it in the first
place.

However the final say on this matter rests with our moderator Kiran and we
have to respect that.

Warm regards,
Hari

Subject: Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on


Hi list,

I am not able to understand, why this group can not or should not discuss
the  sexual harassment of Blind women.  If an extended discussion on stray
dogs is relevant, if we can discuss reservations and concessions for VIs,
and if any other problem faced by Blind and Visually impaired is a part and
parcel of this list, why can't we discuss sexual harassment of Blind women?
If somebody has joined group to discuss issues pertaining to computers and
technology only then i think he/she misjudged the objectives of this group.
There has been a persistent argument about the precious time. Please
understand   Everybody's time is equally important and precious.   Do you
think when smriti raise this issue, she was free and had no business at all?
Is she passing her time by raising such issues? not at all.  more over,
first one or two lines, even subject can also suggest, what is written in
the message. If one does not like something, he or she can easily delete the
message. it is nowhere in the group's policy that every member has to read
entire message and can not delete the message before reading it completely.

With regards,


Chetan Sharma

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-07 Thread Harish Kotian
Hi
One of the areas relevant to this list is disability and discussing sexual 
harrasement of blind women is quite within the ambit of this group.
This group is not restricted to accessability,  and discussing about the 
relevance of the topic is collective waste of time and resources.

I hope discussing on this thread ceases.
Harish.

Illicit people are mostly violent!
If I raised some lawful issue I don't know why you people united yourself so 
tightly.
Let us read the objectives of this group again and again and remind 
yourself. What we should discuss 'here' in this group or not. If you are not 
members of today's focus then please do become. That group was created 
specifically for these kinds of issues. Your convenience could cause 
inconvenience to so many.
Now You people have to decide what to do or not.
There is another group which is discussing hot political issues like capital 
punishment communalism etc. That is really fine. These issues fits in the 
scheme of its objectives.
Aruni has provided a nice platform for this kind of discussions.
before you see your comfort you should think about others.
In temple you can not drink whine.
"Your freedom ends where my nose begins".
You are all enlightened people I think you understand well what I want to 
convey. Don't be lethargic  discuss these issues on today's focus. I would 
also join you there.

What is wrong in discussing issues of sexual harassment particularly those 
raised Smirthi Singh? Although our group is for discussing accessibility, 
once a while there could be a deviation.  This topic does really concern all 
of us.  In any group for that matter, there will be some deviation of topics 
sometimes. So why don't accept and go on rather than otherwise.

Instead of creating a separate group why not we discuss  all the
relevant issues which affect directly or indirectly our lives.  The
founding members of this group should reconsider their decision of

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-06 Thread Subramani L
For the kind information of those insisting that this group is only for
'technology-related-discussion', BPO's in Bangalore today spend a lot of
their time overseeing protection of their women employees, because one
woman was brutally raped and killed last year by a cab driver and they
don't want that to happen again.

Though technology is the thrust area of this group, we can't play down
the importance of individual safety. Another example that I learnt today
is JAN or Job Accessibility Network in the US, who facilitate accessible
work environment for persons with disability in the US, spend a great
deal of time instructing clients as to how they can evacuate
disabledemployees in times of emergency. Now, is it fair for JAN to say,
"we can discuss only work places adjustments and evacuation is out of
our services?"

Thanks for clarity but the motive is not yet clear.
I do respect your respect for the law of the list. I however, regret
your 
insensitivity towards the socially relevant issues concerning blind men
and 
women and also that of the conventions of the list. We all break laws 
sometimes and you have yourself done it recently by raising your
objections 
on the list. Just to refresh your memory, you yourself have been part of

discussion threads which did not have anything to do with access
technology. 
Why such a move towards 'propriety' now? Are we smelling a sabotage
tactics 
there?

Will you please give any example when someone was banned from the group 
while raising issues directly concerning the blind?

You are right that forming a group is very easy these days. It, however,

always has been easier to hit a delete key if you thought the message
was 
not relevant or useful to you. I beg to ask you for that sacrifice when
it 
concerns such an important issue.

Dear Neeraj,
What's happening with us. How can you treat such a serious issue relating to

Well, let the matter remain "sub judis" till the moderator is free enough 
from his commitments to pay heed to the raging controversy.

Let me hasten to add that whatever be the basic structure of this group, 
[and we need not be unduly reminded of such structure], modalities of 
tackling the menace of sexual harassment of VI girls are well within the 
collective interest of most of group members.

To give the matter a technical twist, may I request the moderator to put up 
a polling counter on the site for soliciting the group opinion on recurring 
controversies to which this forum has become a home?

Hello Ramakrishna,
I fully agree with you and also appreciate your view in this regards.
Actually, I am appreciating your views not for this that you are supporting 
my point, but also from this point of you that you have stressed its 
relevancy to Blind girls. Really, we should think over seriously on this 
issue that in which forum may a girl raise this issue only for asking 
specific suggestion? while most of blind girls live quiet separate from the 
society and they do not know that how they can save themselves from this 
sexual harassment specially in various blind institutions.
I want to your introduction, if you should like to prefer it.
Thanks,

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-05 Thread Dattu Agarwal Agarwal
hi list,
  nothing wrong in discussing any issue relating to disability and disabled 
persons whether accessability or sexual harassment. 
the very purpose is to draw the atention of the group towards the burning 
issues.
  all of us should try to find ways to curb such vicious happenings
  cheers

Well, let the matter remain "sub judis" till the moderator is free enough 
from his commitments to pay heed to the raging controversy.

Let me hasten to add that whatever be the basic structure of this group, 
[and we need not be unduly reminded of such structure], modalities of 
tackling the menace of sexual harassment of VI girls are well within the 
collective interest of most of group members.

To give the matter a technical twist, may I request the moderator to put up

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-05 Thread Taraprakash
Thanks for clarity but the motive is not yet clear.
I do respect your respect for the law of the list. I however, regret your 
insensitivity towards the socially relevant issues concerning blind men and 
women and also that of the conventions of the list. We all break laws 
sometimes and you have yourself done it recently by raising your objections 
on the list. Just to refresh your memory, you yourself have been part of 
discussion threads which did not have anything to do with access technology. 
Why such a move towards 'propriety' now? Are we smelling a sabotage tactics 
there?

Will you please give any example when someone was banned from the group 
while raising issues directly concerning the blind?

You are right that forming a group is very easy these days. It, however, 
always has been easier to hit a delete key if you thought the message was 
not relevant or useful to you. I beg to ask you for that sacrifice when it 
concerns such an important issue.

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-05 Thread K Ramkrishna
Well said Chetan, this site has been formulated with a view to discuss 
issues relating to computer-technology, access, advocacy and any other 
relevant issues like concessions, legal issues, etc. Pls remember we have a 
no. of ladies in our group & sexual harassment is a very serious issue 
howling at them. It is surprising how any one of us can think that sexual 
harassment is beyond the scope of this site. Its true that everyone of us 
may be interested in a specific range of topics & are free to read mails 
related to that & delete others, but to say that mails relating to the 
preferred issues of some of us should only be referred to the site is not 
fair. A shop displays a no. of products & that is the beauty of a shop & u 
may pick up whatever u choose to buy, does it mean we should condemn the 
shop for shelving other products. So pls let us be very careful before 
blowing whistle or usurping the right of the moderator. Its right we had a 
extended discussion on stray dogs, which some of us did not like.

Now we need to address the sexual harassment issue. Vetri & Taraprakash have 
raised some que.'s which are very relevant & we need to discuss & find 
answers for them. Finally, there had been a mention that some NGOs & 
institutions involved in blind welfare are exposing their ladies inmates to 
sexual harassment. We, as a group, should bring to book the list of such 
NGOs & institutions irrespective of the popularity of the head of the orgn. 
& publicise this adequately. So let us look at the positive side of the 
issue noting that we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable section 
of the society.

Rgds,

(K. Ramkrishna)

That's well said Chetan!! Also it is my humble request to the members: There 
is a link at the bottom of every message from the group and it takes just a 
fraction of second to press enter on it and learn the objectives of the 
group. So much of resistance against raising of VH women's issues  clearly 
exemplifies the fact that Irrespective of our formal degrees, we refuse to 
be self-critical. Rather we are so desperate to shut our world in the name 
of technology and so forth. This is precisely what I meant in my previous 
message when I raised a question regard to the sensitization of VH men on 
women's issues.

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-04 Thread Chetan Sharma
Hi list,

I am not able to understand, why this group can not or should not discuss 
the  sexual harassment of Blind women.  If an extended discussion on stray 
dogs is relevant, if we can discuss reservations and concessions for VIs, 
and if any other problem faced by Blind and Visually impaired is a part and 
parcel of this list, why can't we discuss sexual harassment of Blind women? 
If somebody has joined group to discuss issues pertaining to computers and 
technology only then i think he/she misjudged the objectives of this group. 
There has been a persistent argument about the precious time. Please 
understand   Everybody's time is equally important and precious.   Do you 
think when smriti raise this issue, she was free and had no business at all? 
Is she passing her time by raising such issues? not at all.  more over, 
first one or two lines, even subject can also suggest, what is written in 
the message. If one does not like something, he or she can easily delete the 
message. it is nowhere in the group's policy that every member has to read 
entire message and can not delete the message before reading it completely.

With regards,


Chetan Sharma

Hi everyone,

I certainly understand the concerns of the member who finds lack of time
in 
going through so many messages. However I would like to request the
members 
to be careful while choosing certain expressions. For example the
statement: 
"We should not put our nose in
each and every discussion to which we have no idea or have little
knowledge 
to contribute". In my view this is unwarranted since none of us are 
specialized in all the fields and at the same time it cannot and should
not 
be a barrier in contributing to the group. Believe me or not, my work
load 
here in the US is so much and still I find time to go through the
message 
list and choose which ones to read and which one to ignore based on
certain 
priorities and availability of my time. This is not to show to the group
how 
much hard working I am, but to show that My inconveniences cannot and
should 
not be used as tools to request other members to restrict their 
participation. Perhaps it would be great if we could receive comments
from

Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-04 Thread Dr. Vipin K. Malhotra
Noone can appreciate that in PC or technology related group, issues related 
to rape or sexual harassment should be raised.
 there is a yung friend of us Amit Bhat some days back he started a group 
called today's focuss. I think that kind of group should be useful for 
people like you.
please  don't take undue advantage of the popularity of this forum for 
raising  such issues which are no less important but lack contextual 
importance for this group.
I think I have made my point clear to all those who keep on raising such 
issues with genuin concern.
With regards,
Vip

2006-12-04 Thread rakesh kumar gupta
Hello Vetri,
I feel extremely sorry for my previous remarks which should not be 
personalized more.
Actually, when DR. Vipin was in BA. PART1, I was in MA. PART2 in same 
subject. I would had to advise about this matter in his own email address.
If I could work out his next positive email which is addressing to you 
indirectly, then it doesn't need.
Any way, I am extremely sorry for this and also hope that my junior fellow 
DR. Vipin will surely forget it.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Hi Rakesh,

I think that we have made our points very clear and there is no reason to 
bother about personalized messages being forwarded to the list again and 
again. So my suggestion is that we should not be carried away by certain 
messages being forwarded out of anger and I am sure that majority of the

Hello DR. Vipin,
It seems that you want to run this group according your choice 
"undemocratically" and you also want to declare that you are the only 
person,who has all type of knowledge of all type of law, other members have 
no knowledge in this regard.
I am telling you with great regret that being a "lecturer" in Delhi 
University, you haven't followed proper procedure of any complain and any 
disliking in this regard. My dear friend! if you had whenever or have any 
objection or any complain against raising any issue or procedure of 
"immoderation" even though today also, you should directly send your email 
to Kiran {the moderator} for it.
Take care,

Patience for what my dear friends!
Everyone knows what is the basic purpose of this group. I did not say that 
there should be voting on the issue!
Realism should not be set aside for winning cheap populism. Let us not be 
eluded and deceived by those who under the garb of intellectualism and 
idealism of patience want to robe  us of our precious time.
Those who have knowledge about the common law are aware of the fact that 
once the group is moderated  by some one if he  allows certain issues to be 
raised which are not in the very objectives of this group and the group 
belongs to public domain. he could be held  vicariously liable and could be 
sued in the courts for adequate compensation by any of the member for 
damages.
So please bear with our friend Kiran! He is not going to pay some thing from 
his pocket. Law of tort is getting stronger and stronger these days and 
courts are very sensitive about the harms caused to some one even 
indirectly.
The only remedy I could perceive under the circumstances that this group has 
expended like anything. Now we could declare this group as unmoderated and 
declare that  'any discussion which is catering to the wellbeing of VCs 
could be taken up directly or indirectly and every person who joins this 
group has to act according to his own good conscience. No member is in any 
way liable for the damages caused to him by reading the contents of this 
group.
With lots of love and care to all!

Hello to all,
Yes Vetri! I agree with you.
Being a member of an intellectual group, we should have some patience for 
remarking on knowledge of anyone of us because "expression and open 
discussion on any point" will create self confidence in a person.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

2006-12-04 Thread Vetrivel Murugan Adhimoolam
Hi everyone,

I certainly understand the concerns of the member who finds lack of time in 
going through so many messages. However I would like to request the members 
to be careful while choosing certain expressions. For example the statement: 
"We should not put our nose in
each and every discussion to which we have no idea or have little knowledge 
to contribute". In my view this is unwarranted since none of us are 
specialized in all the fields and at the same time it cannot and should not 
be a barrier in contributing to the group. Believe me or not, my work load 
here in the US is so much and still I find time to go through the message 
list and choose which ones to read and which one to ignore based on certain 
priorities and availability of my time. This is not to show to the group how 
much hard working I am, but to show that My inconveniences cannot and should 
not be used as tools to request other members to restrict their 
participation. Perhaps it would be great if we could receive comments from 
other members on this.

Best Regards,

Vetri.

[AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on

2006-12-04 Thread Dr. Vipin K. Malhotra
Dear Members,
I think this group is purpose specific.
However, WE have reduced it in to a forum for general discussion.
When we started the group  there was a specific purpose behind it. There are 
so many things which could be discussed about the problems of VCs. I think 
we should have group purpose specific.
So that we could be specialized in our approach in dealing with the problems 
related to us. Just casual remarks on issues are mere wastage of time for so 
many people here around. I received more than 300 messages on the issue of 
definition regarding the word blind.
So many things which are important but do not fit in the scheme of this 
group could be taken up with free mind else where. Now initiating a group is 
not a big thing. Any body could start a group. We should not put our nose in 
each and every discussion to which we have no idea or have little knowledge 
to contribute to others.
With regards,
VIP

I hope the group would not take it otherwise. This is a specialized world. 
and we are part and parcel of the same integrated globe.
