...as if everyone with mental illness in India are consumers of the Government Electricity Department.
As if *state-of-the-art services* are being provided to all the people with mental illness in India.
The academics, others... who use such terminologies for patients with mental illness in India ...where have these people wandered from ?
So much of ennui.
Really…
That one has to copy terminologies from across the seas like 'service-users'
An isolation technique to take advantage of those really vulnerable with serious mental illness.
Keep them in a state of conflict…suspended animation…hostility.
Wonder if these academics, others... did any study on the banded kraits in Asia in their habitat .
Since they are pretty quiet on employment done piecemeal for persons with mental illness in the Rights of Persons Disabilities Bill 2014 tabled in parliament in India
Also very, very silent on the high risks of violence in people with untreated serious mental illness, mental illness with substance abuse...
No warmth. No caring. These academics, others...who are so poikilothermal ...the *poikilothermic homo sapiens* of the 21st century.
1. Where did all the *knowledge inputs* given in the process of making this Bill go?
2. In the trash can?
3. Or *knowledge* transfers to where and whom?
4. Free * Knowledge* transfers to the learned people with academic degrees to write their reports, books, studies, thesis, newspaper columns … without acknowledging their contributors? No *shared benefits* to so many who gave their *knowledge inputs* which have been kept out of this Bill.
5. This Bill refuses to acknowledge the years of neglect following the Census of India, 2001 which clubbed persons with mental illness together with persons with mental retardation >with all the benefits of rehabilitation showered on persons with mental retardation by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
6. This Bill refuses to acknowledge that the rehabilitation of those with serious mental illness in India was left to the impacted families and few organizations.
7. This bill refuses to acknowledge that Mental illness was counted separately in the last Census of India 2011 and not clubbed together with any disability.
Response to: Piecemeal Employment of mental illness in the Rights of Persons Disabilities Bill 2014 India, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment which is with the Standing Committee in the Parliament of India
