Friends, When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, later christened as ‘the Father of the Nation’ held stick in hend it became the model and revered. However when the crores of blind people across the globe use white cane to traverse the world it is pitied upon. The stick has varied utility. The police lathis, security guard’s danda and a blind man/woman holding stick and finding pathways signify multitude of usage. Now its up to you to decide whether danda/lathis/stick is meant for peace or violence. Happy white Cane Day to all blind brethrens. And an urge to the non-blind people to open your mind and see the beauty stick leading a blind to travel in the world.
