humiliation is pervasive in hierarchical Indian society. It does not
inspire me to intentially enrol my blind child in a school where she
cries everyday and loses courage to narrate her humiliating story at
home. I strongly believe I'm very powerful and can coexist in an
inclusive society. and I have enough cultural/social/economic capital
that my inclusiveness will be based on my understanding of disability.
I can not give in to the pressure imposed upon me by so called
non-disabled people that you have to behave in a certain way if you
want to accomodated in our culture. 'Knowledge is power', It is high
time we use power to decide and determine the norms of inclusiveness.
Its enough that non-disabled  people have overarching influence on
disabled people lives. Off to lunch will get back later.
