Listen up!
This was a rally no doubt, but a silent
one. No, it wasn’t a protest, rather, it was an awareness march for the
cause of the deaf, on the occasion of World Deaf Day on Sunday.
Organised by Alok Kumar Kejriwal and Sunil
Sahasrabudha, the rally took place at the Gateway of India. Children and
elders alike, hard of hearing, walked the Gateway with banners and
placards with messages to the public and the government, for greater
awareness of their cause.
Colourful tri-coloured balloons coupled
with the painted faces of the children added a splash of colour to the
march. The chirpy Raageshwari, herself dressed in a bright green tee, a
full-of-energy Raell Padamsee, Shaina NC and Anil Dharker were part of
the rally, and showed their solidarity towards this cause.
They spoke of the rights and needs of the
deaf, and even communicated with them in sign language. Time for us to
wake up and smell the coffee, what say?
