Points: Different kinds of the handicapped — They should be usefully employed In society — Philanthropic organizations for them.
The handicapped or disabled persons are our own people. We come across lots of persons who are born with defective limbs or organs. There are others, who have lost limbs or organs as after effects of diseases like smallpox, typhoid, poliomyelitis, leprosy etc. Others are victims of accidents like road accidents, bomb explosions, fire burns, and so on.
We forget that the handicapped may not be perfect of limbs, but can be usefully employed in various crafts and occupations. A man who is blind may develop talent for music. The world-famous blind composer Beethoven is a good instance. We should not just pity the handicapped, but help them to be self-helping. We should rehabilitate them in society where they can live with dignity. We can devise suitable works for them and give them special training. It is not charity but fellow-feeling which is needed.
There are some philanthropic organizations that are doing good works for the handicapped. Artificial limbs are being manufactured for those who need them. Special training centers have also been opened where the disabled get proper training for various kinds of occupation. Above all, our attitude to the handicapped should be changed. As human beings it is our duty to help those who need our help.
