Miss communication?

I wonder when the hearing impaired in India will have any use for something like this. I have no idea why a country with so many languages and dialects will not adopt the ASL and just let our deaf use a language people will understand internationally. Why the resistance? If we can all learn to communicate in English...adding our own peculiar nuances to it, why not ASL?

You and I and others like us make up the universe and masses, Rouchi. We make the rules.

Avanti has nothing against the deaf learning to speak...it only questions why the hearing will not learn to sign and make things easier for the deaf.

If the masses learnt to sign...and to read/write braille and deal with disablities, wouldn't it make a lot of lives easier?

:))

Deaf children when left alone go right back to signing. So NORMAL...for them is to sign. They will SPEAK and HEAR only in the presence of these masses we talk about.

There can be arguments and counter arguments, but AVANTI!! merely wants the masses to reach out to special people too.
