@Himanshutyg_ifs My sister have countless MBBS entrance exams. That was 1982. Didn't make it. Decided not to appear again and change her stream. Gave the AMU Medical entrance exam after a lot of coaxing without any prep. Passed out as the topper of her batch. Now a gynae par excellence.

A good reason for Corporates & sponsors to handhold para athletes. A salary is not enough to meet requirements of training for elite level events. I know how Hokato & Narayana have struggled to balance nutrition needs & family responsibilities. @GoSportsVoices @IIS_Vijayanagar.

@avishkar1993 @netshrink How about the UCH having a broad mind & letting all people without prejudice to enter places of worship, let them sit on the same table & dine, draw water from all wells, Mount a horse during wedding, etc, etc. The social divisions & consequent discrimination are the rift.

@VijayKumbhar62 Brilliant reporting!!! However, where is the requirement of looking for the file? Except for sacking those who issued the document. She skipped 6 calls for a mandatory medical examination at AIIMS Delhi. Why? This also calls into question the process of verification by DoPT.

Media is increasingly using the word 'rule', when referring to State Govts, such as, BJP ruled state, Congress ruled state, etc. India has been a democracy for 75 years & we even have a new seat of people's power. Correct form is, BJP governed, TMC governed. There are no Kings.

You Sir, are not enabled. Even after so much has been tweeted on this issue, didn't understand. We the disabled, don't want to be called by any fancy names. Accept us as who we are, or for us, you don't exist. Make the society more inclusive & accessible. @Khetarpalabha @drsitu.
Comparisons can be tenuous but I rate the performance of our athletes in #Paralympics higher than the Olympics, given that they had to overcome incredible hardships, social stigma and physical pain. Let no one ever again use the term Disabled for our Differently abled champions.

@arunbothra Fault lies with the HP govt, which in a bid to earn quick revenue allowed unfettered access to plains-people. It should've been daily quota based entry to tourists. Arey bhai, Mall ki parking mein bhi aisa hota hai. Revenue is required but not at the cost of lives of locals.
