Dear Members,

I wanted to respectfully clarify the misunderstanding towards the mail shared with the Group. My intension was not to exchange seasonal greetings, but if you read the mail in full, after all the acknowledgements; I had also made a subtle yet earnest attempt to highlight crucial concerns regarding disability inclusion towards the end of my message.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by my communication. Going forward, I will strictly refrain from sharing such communications on this list – ensuring I stay focused on pertinent discussions relevant to accessibility and disability inclusion – which this group rightly prioritizes.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

    Dear Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji,

    Warmest and most reverent Diwali greetings. I am utterly
    overwhelmed with joy and immense pride as an Indian guided by YOUR
    visionary leadership – steadfastly steering our beloved nation
    towards unparalleled progress, development, and greatness. I
    wholeheartedly applaud each magnificent initiative highlighted in
    your inspiring message.

    Firstly, the grand Ram Temple construction in Ayodhya – a
    monumental triumph embodying cultural pride and righteousness –
    fills my heart with devotion. Secondly, Operation Sindoor – a
    powerful testament where Bharat courageously upheld righteousness
    and avenged injustice – showcases unwavering national resolve.
    Thirdly, the eradication of Naxalism and Maoist terrorism from
    remote districts – enabling lamps of peace to shine brightly even
    in farthest corners – is a tremendous achievement fostering
    holistic security. I deeply commend how individuals have abandoned
    violence, choosing instead to embrace development mainstream and
    faith in our sacred Constitution – a beautiful victory.

    Further, I extol the next-generation GST reforms – especially
    lower GST rates launched on Navratri – sparking a wonderful "GST
    Bachat Utsav" where citizens save crores, empowering economic
    vibrancy. Amidst global crises, Bharat emerging as a beacon of
    stability & sensitivity is profoundly reassuring. Moreover, our
    trajectory towards becoming the third-largest global economy fills
    me with soaring patriotic pride. I utterly resonate with YOUR
    clarion calls – adopting Swadeshi, promoting Ek Bharat, Shreshtha
    Bharat, respecting all languages, upholding cleanliness,
    prioritizing health, reducing oil consumption, and embracing Yoga
    – all pivotal strides accelerating us towards a radiant Viksit Bharat.

    Critically, I humbly yet earnestly urge – alongside celebrating
    these magnificent milestones – we must wholeheartedly INCLUDE
    persons with disabilities in India’s glorious progress narrative.
    Alas, they form a minority of all minorities, often grappling with
    acute deprivations – lacking adequate opportunities to lead
    dignified lives and support families. Therefore, I respectfully
    request earnest considerations towards reforms promoting
    Accessible Digital India, vital subsidies in accessible housing,
    schooling for children with disabilities, and crucial medical
    benefits. Additionally, I ardently hope for government
    intervention addressing exorbitant prices of assistive
    technologies (software, hardware, assistive devices, affordable
    smart phones) – these life-changing tools grant invaluable
    independence and mobility to citizens with disabilities.

    Once again, wishing YOUR Excellency & all Indians a most joyous
    Deepavali. May the festival’s beautiful ethos – "jab ek diya
    jalata hai, to uski roshni kam nahi hoti, balki badhti hai" –
    inspire us to light lamps of harmony, cooperation, positivity, and
    critically, inclusive progress across our magnificent nation.

    With utmost reverence & patriotic pride,

    Sincerely,

    Mujtaba Merchant

    Dear MUJTABA Ji,

        

        

        

        

    I extend my heartfelt greetings to all of you on the auspicious
    occasion of Deepavali, a festival filled with energy and
    enthusiasm. This is the second Deepavali after the grand
    construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Lord Shri Ram teaches
    us to uphold righteousness and also gives us the courage to fight
    injustice. We have seen a living example of this a few months ago
    during Operation Sindoor. During Operation Sindoor, Bharat not
    only upheld righteousness but also avenged injustice.

        

        

        

        

    This Deepavali is particularly special because, for the first
    time, lamps will be lit in many districts across the country,
    including remote areas. These are the districts where Naxalism and
    Maoist terrorism have been eradicated from the root. In recent
    times, we have seen many individuals abandoning the path of
    violence and joining the mainstream of development, expressing
    faith in the Constitution of our country. This is a major
    achievement for the nation.

        

        

        

        

    Amid these historic achievements, the country has also embarked on
    next-generation reforms in recent days. On the first day of
    Navratri, lower GST rates were implemented. During this "GST
    Bachat Utsav” (Savings Festival), citizens are saving thousands of
    crores of rupees.

        

        

        

        

    In a world going through multiple crises, Bharat has emerged as a
    symbol of both stability and sensitivity. We are also on track to
    become the third-largest economy in the world in the near future.

        

        

        

        

    In this journey of a “Viksit” (Developed) and “Aatmanirbhar
    Bharat” (self-reliant India), our primary responsibility as
    citizens is to fulfill our duties towards the nation.

        

        

        

        

    Let us adopt “Swadeshi” (local products) and proudly say: "This is
    Swadeshi!" Let us promote the spirit of “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha
    Bharat”. Let us respect all languages. Let us maintain
    cleanliness. Let us prioritize our health. Let us reduce the use
    of oil in our food by 10% and embrace Yoga. All these efforts will
    rapidly move us towards a “Viksit Bharat”.

        

        

        

        

    Deepavali also teaches us that when one lamp lights another, its
    light doesn't diminish, but it grows further. With the same
    spirit, let us light lamps of harmony, cooperation and positivity
    in our society and surroundings this Deepavali.
    Once again, wishing you all a very Happy Deepavali.

        

        

        

        

    Yours,
    Narendra Modi
