Articulating Disability Identity and Rights in India

This paper charts a history of disability right discourses in India examining a recent history. What has been the role of the state in delivering policies? How do disabled citizens locate themselves in relation to the state and international networks? At the same time how other inequalities like caste, class, gender, ethnicity and religion impinge and intersect the way disability has been constructed? This paper also looks at very recent debate going over a passing of disability law in India.
