Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
There may be objections from one or the other quarter with the terms used to denote a person with disabilities. We are wasting our skills in criticising the term divyang. We should rather try to present an alternative which is the least objectionable and the most acceptable. The term Viklang, when considered properly, looks as if the body parts or "Angas" are in enxiety or "vikal". Can the term be considered as appropriate to use? The term "disabled" means the persons who are not able bodied. It also looks objectionable. So it is not the term, but the meaning specified to that term, which is important and hence should be taken into consideration. Divyang, viklang or any other term is not going to change our destiny; but its definition surely will. Hence, we should be more concerned with the definition of disability than divyang or viklang.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
The problem as Rajesh put it, the words from the PM is an imposition. Govt officials do not have the backbone to stand up and say that they disagree. If the PM has said that PWDs are to be called Diviang then the Govt officials will blindly follow (no pun intended). The PM is not a subject matter expert. He has made a statement to the best of his understanding. No problem with that. But the sector needs to unite and educate and encourage the Govt officials to use their brains to avert another outflow of Govt resources to unproductive ends. On another note I wonder if the group knows that the huge skill development drive that is aiming to train and place 2.5 million disabled persons by 2022 is mainly targeted at the Deaf, PH and the intellectually challenged. Even organisations who have started with skilling the blind are now shifting by and large towards skilling other disabilities. It has become a number game. I am afraid the blind persons are going to be left out if we do not assert ourselves. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: 01 January 2016 14:07 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
well avinash, we must fight with the govt to get these things done rather than asking the govt as to why you haven't done all these. There is no reason for suddenly taking a hardline against the after BJP coming to power. Where were you people and others while the earlier govt was ruling? Is this paid/concerted anti-BJP campaign? -Mail: subramani6...@gmail.com Mob: 9738150192 Facebook: facebook.com/subu.subramani.16 - Original Message - From: "avinash shahi"To: "accessindia" ; "jnuvision" ; "pratiksha.baxi" ; "sayeverything" Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 9:16 PM Subject: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’ As Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi terming dalits as ‘harijan’ sparked off a political and intellectual fervent among the dalits decades ago, similarly the Prime Minister Modi’s new invention ‘divyang’ for addressing the disabled should spur political awakening and intellectual currents among the disabled.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
Dear friends, To those who prefer to sound holier than thou, let me say this: yes, terminology does have relevance. It has relevance to the extent that it is reflective of a certain mindset; it also has relevance and it impacts and affects our distinct identity as a group. Talking about feelings behind the use of an expression seems to have become a sad with that holier than thou class. One must ask them whose feelings on earth are they referring to? The feelings of the person using a certain terminology? Or the feelings of the group of persons for whom a certain terminology is used? Who decides our feelings?—we ourselves or others who are persons without disabilities? Obviously, it is only we who should decide and not they. Fact should be stated in a forthright and decent way; and, condescension and patronizing is no substitute for decency. Therefore, i strongly and passionately feel that the saner element amongst persons with disabilities understand the hollowness of this coaxing and cajoling by using condescending expressions like Divyang. Use of this kind of terminology is not just patronizing; it also has the effect of diluting our identity as persons with disabilities, besides, this terminology is also based on an erroneous and misplaced understanding of the narrative of disability which tends to equate disability with ones overall inability. Friends, on the lighter side, if we are labelled as divine limb, how will you label those without disabilities? Demon limb?

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
It is not just a spontaneous Man Ki Baat.All this is coming along with the weakening of the prospects of a genuine and rights-based disability legislation. It is indeed not just a matter of terminologies, in the sense that the terminology itself is a part of the worst that may be coming. Individuals as well as NGos/advocacy groups have to act fast.

I disagree with you avinash over it because radioudaan were the first plateform who slammed government for this and we have even wrote to Mr. Modi but yes our big NGOs are quite for that and when I ask them they said and I quote terminology is not abig issue for us.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
Dear Avinash, if all the demands of the "divyangs" like 3% reservation, nomination to the upper house etc are accepted, still, this "divyang" would remain problematic for me. this mythologising of disabled people is an attempt to shift the focus away from the miserable siuation which most of us are having to confront with. on a slightly lighter note, i consider myself an atheist and if our prime minister's words are to be accepted, then, it underscores that it's god who made me blind, made someone deaf, someone mentally retarded. therefore, it reinforces my belief in denouncing an entity who had compelled me to face a far stiffer struggle for existance than my non-"divyang" counterparts. sincerely, Anirban Mukherjee On 12/28/15, avinash shahiwrote: > As Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi terming dalits as ‘harijan’ sparked off > a political and intellectual fervent among the dalits decades ago, > similarly the Prime Minister Modi’s new invention ‘divyang’ for > addressing the disabled should spur political awakening and > intellectual currents among the disabled.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
Amen Anirban Traditionally, the Indian mythology has depicted disable people as cruel souls. Now this shift to 'divyang' suggested by the head of the government through publick broadcast is even more frightening. We have all reason to discard such unilateral imposition of will by the Prime Minister.

Re: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for the ‘divyang’
dear avinash the government is also indulging in false propaganda to justify the use of divyang. today in the morning news at 8 A M there was a news that the hearing impaired students of U P spent some time in understanding the meaning of divyang and were elated after getting the meaning of divyang and thanked the prime minister for this new label. what a joke!
