As I am writing this post I doesn't mean that disability is not a serious issue or it doesn't impact on individual or society.As of 2001 census in India has close to 2 crore people who are disabled.WHO said in world around 1 billion people are having disability of various kinds.
But as I see mostly poverty and disability both have close linkage.People who are poor if they are not disable then they are facing social discrimination in our societies.As a disable person have less opportunities for education,employment and other opportunities in life same condition I see with poor people.
There is no doubt that dream for discrimination free and equal life for a disabled person require a comprehensive changes in our institutional arrangements and legal provisions but the most important change has to come in our minds,in our attitude towards the disabled person.
Rightly has been this said, "if you want to judge others,judge accordingly what they can do,not on what they can't. Judge them based on who they are,not on who they aren't."
Care and consideration for sick, elderly and poor people has always been part of Indian culture.
People with disabilities should be treated well as human beings.I request to all that please care for physically or mentally disable people as well as elder and poor people.It is the bounty of Allah (SWT) that we don't have any disabilities.
