The physically challenged people of this country would definitely agree with this point - they have nothing going in their favor though as individuals they have a huge potential to help the mainstream economy to grow.

With my own personal experience - for e.g. of people who are visually or auditorily impaired, there is no facility in this country to lead a better life than they are already leading.

This link, about mobile phones for the deaf, made me wonder if in India, we will ever get to a point of a collective understanding the needs of such people. Isn't it such a contradiction that in the Indian folklore, there are tales of great poets like Soordas, but in our own times, there is no value for any human life, leave aside the physically challenged?
