a glenn question

Why is there a discourse around disability in India?

What is the template that allows for an understanding/ intelligibility of disability as a concept in India, if as a term (therefore concept) its chronology can be traced to very specific turns in the development project?

spelling it out

if the intent of policy and other NGO ventures is to protect disabled people from different kinds of discrimination and ensure their rights then there has to be a clear understanding of what disability means and how a disabled person is identified. what is discrimination? can we assume that discrimination of disabled persons is a universally consistent phenomenon or experience?
