I kno that our Prime Minister is not a disability rights activist or a
disability scholar. And he is not well read about the correctness of
the disability terminology. What he suggested is a name hold by many
individuals in India. If one googles, one could find names Divyang
Chaudhary, Divyang Mandal and so on. But using the term collectively
for a group of people would connote different sense. That's where the
problem lies.

How do we make it crystal clear that our fight is not with the Modi as
a person. However his suggestion of 'divyang' as the PM of a largely
uneducated country needs to be taken seriously. Why some of us always
think that the disability is apolitical subject. Its very much
political and we should politicize it to the extent we could.
Otherwise, non-disabled will leave us no where to bargain our fair
share. We should not forget that the entitlements provisioned in the
PWD Acd are the outcome of the social model of disability to some
extent which aims to put burden on the society for the disabling
condition. Its unfortunate that handful of us think its a paid
campaign against Mr Modi. We are merely airing our views in the
publick domain which is vital for the strengthening of the disability
studies and the disability advocacy. Mr Subramani, I'm not that old
who could claim decades of experience of working in the sector. I'm
student and in my limited capacity as a writer I do my best in raising
serious concerns of ours. We successfully played our part in stalling
the passage of the faulty RPD Bill braught by the UPA II. We should
understand the importance of the publick debate and discussion which
hardly takes place in the disability sector. Its not that only
writing to PMO merrly on twitter would solve our issue. There are
large sections in India who view disabled people as 'divyang'. and
formalizing of the term would do a great damage in the future. No
media house wants to publish anything about the ramification of the
'divyang' why? because there is an agreement with the suggestion. I
lament why we don't have publications taking up disability discourse
seriously. Its an opportune time to expose the politics behind the
terms 'specially-abled' differently-abled' and 'divyang'.

well avinash, we must fight with the govt to get these things done

no
reason for suddenly taking a hardline against the after BJP coming to

ruling?
Is this paid/concerted anti-BJP campaign?

Subject: [AI] My paragraph of the Day: Thank you Mr Narendra Modi for
the
‘divyang’
As Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi terming dalits as ‘harijan’ sparked off
a political and intellectual fervent among the dalits decades ago,
similarly the Prime Minister Modi’s new invention ‘divyang’ for
addressing the disabled should spur political awakening and
intellectual currents among the disabled. This is an opportunity to
assert one’s choice independently. Isn’t it ironical that the disabled
people have been unquestioningly burdened with multiple collective
denominations imposed by the political class and the mainstream media
without taking them on board. If Mr Modi really thinks we are
‘divyang’, then what about extending parliamentary entry through Rajya
Sabha to the ‘divyangs’ to run the Upper House smoothly and
efficiently? What about creating Ministry of ‘divyang’ affairs in
2016? Why delaying the implementation of the 3 per cent reservation in
jobs despite the Apex Court’s directions? Mr Modi, merely asking the
nation to address the disabled as ‘divyang’ is insufficient. If you
really mean what you say, please increase the budgetary allocation for
the ‘divyang’ affairs in the forthcoming Budget which was paltry Rs
5000 crore for the year 2014-15. The large number of disabled people
are struggling for the bear minimum, and they are still ‘divyang for
the Prime Minister, it’s a cruel joke with their lives.‘what’s in a
name’, they say.
