Subramani, You make a very interesting point. I believe it is a great idea to club work with the disabled as part of the HRD/Health Ministries What we need is investments and not dole..

Subject: Re: [AI] FYI: Thaawar Chand Gehlot is Social Justice Minister in Modi's government If we carefully study the practice of portfolio allocation We may come across astonishing facts. Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment was previously known as Ministry of welfair. And this ministry primarily deals with welfair measures for deprived sections like-announcing scholarships and sponsoring aids and appliances. And who are primarily in dier need of scholarships? SC, ST, persons with Disabilities and Other backward Castes. So this ministry is a great example to understand the identity politics in India. If I stretch little further, other ministries such as women and Child welfair and Ministry of Minorities both are headed by their group representatives. And We, persons with disabilities will strongly demand disabled minister if ministry of disabled is constituted in future., Isn't it?
