THEY NEED OUR CARE

The physically challenged people need an immediate attention of the government and people alike.

Look over to the darkness once…..

Even though the world may seem to be in its glamour…

They still are mighty’s creatures which ought to recover…

Ever noticed how to see when there is no vision,

How to walk when there is no opportunity,

How to speak when there are no words to empower…

People they do it every time….

Oh Thee! Why you took away their valor, when you still made them to struggle

in the same race which commoners are facing…

They still have a hope…Let us enlighten it somehow and before it dies, Lets save

And work for it. It is our duty and still our responsibility….

I had thought that the world is so blissful and so vibrant that it never felt to me that it was gruesome or even elusive. But I still pity those people who know it but still put their hands on their eyes…Should one call them the anti-Gandhian monkeys? There are still thousands of  people in Kashmir who are physically challenged i.e. they either are deaf, blind, dumb, or physically challenged suffering from leprosy or even mentally retarded people which may be the people suffering from cerebral palsy. The people suffering from cerebral palsy are not necessarily mentally retarded but suffer from some physical deformities. I usually come across beggars in buses who have lost their legs or have their hands amputated…and every time I see them I pity and try not to reconsider it again…Have you ever thought how it would be for them to be in such a condition and then to survive. Just think once. Maybe my article isn’t that interesting nor it has any gossip but still I feel the best kind of achievement of this article over my others. You people know why??? Because it shows me the truth and a fact of life which is not deceptive. Kashmir has one such institution called as Social welfare organization and many other hospitals and training centers for such people. They truly are working for their upliftment. They are showing them way to survive but what I want is that government should make an initiative which besides them showing them the way to survive should also show them how to move ahead to progress. You are just making dependent people more dependable. Done any favor? They don’t need a mercy, they just want an opportunity. They don’t want sympathy, they just need empathy.

It was 20 Jan 2010 Mumbai that Bajaj Allianz IBN 7 along with Dainik Bhaskar newspaper made an initiative and the best held award function for these people. It showed the ways that the government should take for their proper development as well as their advancement. There were 18 disabled people whose efforts were so miraculous that it paved a new way and inspiration for the disabled people. The chief guest Aamir Khan had made his presence quite well and envisaged his social work a way to progress. I truly admire him because for me it is very difficult in these times to see a philanthropist star. The Editor Chief of IBN 7 Rajdeep Sardesai well stated that “I think that there is much negation in the media, unless these kind of positive things are not brought into focus, how come then we move ahead”. While Aamir Khan just encouraged these people by calling them the real Jahapanas…Jahapana tusse great ho.

For me there are three main ways of their development. The first one is the education. It would be an initiative if any free organization is being set up of people of different sectors opting for social reform for educating and training these people in different fields. The second is to build up their conscience. These people loose all their hopes and feel that the world is all a source of pessimism. They need to know that the world has not ended up but still paving a new way of life. The third one is the digital perspective. Such softwares could be developed which will help them to better understand the computer technology and then to work in this sector. Another thing which I don’t consider much important is the economical dependence. Anyone can donate money for their uplift. The Ability foundation is the best held charitable trust that works to empower the disabled. These are just the little ways I felt over so that these people don’t get discouraged anywhere. We have the way which they have lost and still we have their hopes which could get shattered lest we don’t work for it at the right time.

At last I state a quote of Samuel Johnson “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do absolutely no good to him”
