Hello to All Mail List Members,
I am reading mails related to the above subject with keen interest
Being a Multiple Congenital Amputee, I still cannot classify whether
I am an amputee or limb deficient, since reading definitions from
books and Amps mail list often confuse me and could further mislead to
wrong documentation.
The word "Disabled" here in India is mostly misrepresented as a poor
man/beggar, also the word "Handicapped" is not known, which a
common man says as "Handicraft"
Access is a dream for Disabled even though they are financially
sound,there is always suspicion to restrict from traveling abroad, In a
Book named " Guide to USA "mentions disabled need not apply for
Visa as they are looked upon as burden, or do not have strong ties
with their home country.Its really a sorid state how easily lack of
proper representation can create major hurdles.
