A Feeling of Belongingness 139

would be feeling remorse. Only because you are sensitive, you
can have this realization. The teachers at schools for the deaf
and dumb are specially trained due to which they are able to
create an environment where handicapped children never feel
inferior. They enable these children to realize their hidden
potential and aid their progress.

Let Us Change Our Approach

We are a developing, not a developed nation. This means
that we have certain flaws such as a handicapped, deaf and mute
or mentally challenged child might have. We do not have all
the strengths that are needed in the twenty-first century. We
are used to berating our flaws and creating a nationwide
depression. Admittedly, we have flaws, but are we willing to
use our powers to make our country stronger? We need to
change our approach. We need to put all our positives to use
and endeavour to change the situation. This can be done only if
all of us work in the same direction. Recall the time of the
earthquake when the entire country rushed to the aid of our
stricken state. With a nation that has such enormous powers,
we can bring about a great change simply by highlighting our
positive qualities.
