[Reader-list] A Just Peace in Kashmir? Reflections on

[Lalit Ambardar]

Dear Taraprakash,

 

My apologies, if you are
hurt, even if inadvertently.

 

It was only intended to draw
attention to the typical mindset that stubbornly refuses to see pan Islamism as
a motivating force behind the Kashmiri separatism as well as acknowledge
continued attempts by others who have their own strategic interest in the
region, to encourage fissiparous tendencies in Kashmir (...the ‘propaganda’ paper in
question being one such case….).

 

I take inspiration from
the sheer courage of the differently abled in their endeavour to face the challenges
of life. I am with you in your struggle for equality & fear treatment .In
fact I very keenly follow the efforts of Mr.Abidi & other activists in this
regard.

 

Warm regards

Lalit Ambardar

Dear LA and all. Being blind myself, the derogatory, 
insensitive and offensive use of the word "blind" is the main issue for me. It 
may be a digression from discussion on Shapiro's article, but for those like me 
who are fighting to get equality and fair treatment for the differently abled, 
this is the main point. Let us try to recognize that what is margin for us may 
be the center for others. Let me again urge you not to equate "blind" with 
stupid and ignorant person. 
 
Thanks

  No. 
  

  

  The ‘word’ was 
  very clearly meant to describe those who are very much ‘sighted’ but are 
  undiscerning & undiscriminating & because of their 'blind faith' see 
  any objectivity in that ‘propaganda’ paper.
  
  And let us not 
  digress,please.
  
  Regards all
