Some people can be called as Handicapped

Some people can be called as Handicapped

Today (03/12/2012) is the day for alternatively abled people. I thought this is my duty to publish this blog today and create awareness to all. This topic will irritate you even if you are not a physically challenged person. I will explain the reason why I have mentioned this in my below blog.

There is the evolutionary thought from the government for the people who born with the physical defects needs to be called as “Alternatively abled people” or “Differently abled people”. This initiative will prevent people from get disabled mentally. For the betterment of their lives government offer lot of priorities to them in terms of special allocation in the education, job and special queue’s and etc. Still there are some additional things needs to improve for the lives.  

          

          I come to the matter now; the big question is who are all can be called as handicapped? This blog is not going to explain about any legal provisions, government orders, government notification or anything. I want to share my experiences I have faced in several places happening against the physically challenged people.

My Experiences

           1. Six month before, I went to Chennai airport to receive my friend. There I saw one alternatively abled person waiting outside the toilet which is allocated for the physically challenged people. After few minutes one guy who is having a gigantic strong physic came out of that special toilet. I cannot understand the reason why that fellow used that and made this real beneficial to wait outside.

          

          2.    All the buses having special seats for the physically challenged people, I saw people who are good with their physic occupying the seats, and not giving the same to the person who is physically challenged. In the absence of the people, if you sit in the seats I don’t mind, as the same time if such a person entering inside you should be the first person give the place to them.

        

          3.    I saw another incident in the local bus, when I am roaming in Tamilnadu. In a specific bus stop one physically challenged person coming to catch the bus and the conductor purposefully avoiding that person by saying it will take time for the person to reach and claim in the bus.

          

          4.    I saw people kidding the physically challenged people by talking about their disability and by saying few proverbs.

         5.    There are lots of similar examples available with about the harassment's happening to this people. I hope the readers of this blog also experienced the same and more. 

           What will you call this people who are all did this harassment's? I want to call this people as handicapped, since they are not ready to use their abilities and give the way to the people alternatively abled. 

          I pray the government and the executing the authorities to ensure the facilities provided to the physically challenged people to be accessible to them. The common public also should help them to get their rights and use of it. 

        

         Since I wrote the blog with few emotions and sentiments, there are possibilities for mistake. I request the readers; please let me know if there is any mistake, by that I can correct the blog and myself. Also forgive me if it hurts you.

                                    Thanks for your time
