#MadrasDay2023 here's to preserving landscapes and changing mindscapes. Here's to celebrating heritage but ramping up for the new age. The city is pure love but will have more love to give when its accessible.

Real independence stems from the fundamental principle that people with disabilities are entitled to the same civil rights, options & control over choices as people without disabilities. This #IndependenceDay let's strive towards truly building an inclusive India.
Jai Hind!🇮🇳

Braille is sheer magic. Words literally pop out of a page - just 6 dots. They group themselves mysteriously to form words. A blank sheet of paper can tell stories. Though assist tech for the blind has come a long way Braille is the greatest innovation for the sightless.

Ambedkar the best hated men in India.

'A man of about fifty. Waiting for me in a wicker chair on the veranda of his house. Bulky, dynamic. Very charming manners, but nervy, inclined to fiddle with his shoe-laces. Seemed to be on his guard. as though ready to parry taunts from all directions. Well, after all its only to be expected...'
So runs an extract from my diary.
The man is Doctor Ambedkar. And in a moment we shall see why it is 'only to be expected'.
Ambedkar is a labor member in the government of India, and one of the six best brains in India. He is of the Cavour school of statesmen—an implacable realist. When he speaks in public, he is galvanic, creative and almost embarrassingly to the point. To compare the average oration of a congress politician with a speech by Doctor Ambedkar is like comparing a Hindu chant with a fusillade of pistol shots.
As a result, he is one of the best hated men in India.
And why is it 'only to be expected'...this nervousness, this suggestion that he would be ready to take offence?
Because, Dr Ambedkar, in the eyes of the most of the 180 million caste Hindus, is 'untouchable'. A person to bring pollution if his Mayfair dinner-jacket should happen to brush against their dhotis. A creature from whose touch the extreme orthodox must fly as though he were a leper, a monster whose slightest contact compels them to precipitate themselves into the nearest bath-tub, to soap and pray, and pray and soap, and soap and pray, so that the filth of Dr.Ambedkar-(https://t.co/tKkAIn9QNt) - the shame of Dr. Ambedkar -(high honours at Columbia University) -the plague and scourge of Dr.Ambedkar -(Special Distinction at Heidelberg) - should be washed for ever from their immaculate and immortal pasts.

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

#Horrific A son was born in a Dalit household in Bareilly. Caste Hindu Thakur men of the village entered the house on the pretext of eating laddoos and gang-raped a Dalit woman.

When the Dalit husband protested, he publicly tied her to a tree and beat her so much that he died. The post-mortem of the deceased took place after 24 hours.

During the visit of @khushsundar from @NCWIndia to our Shelter on friday we discussed issues unique to WwD - access to jobs, livelihood, education, transport, and safety. She assured us of timely intervention and support and our women were charmed by her friendliness and humility

Dignity Dismantles Disability. Meet Ravi a person with cerebral palsy who travels 5kms everyday to set up a cleaning liquid roadside shop to make his living. When offered assistance, food, money or help he declines. Fascinated by his strength and spirit. #humansofchennai

In this episode, I talk about the recent killing of two tribal women in Imphal - in my conv with Dr Aiswarya Rao and Prof Sonajharia Minz, what comes through is an urgent need for national collective action across India to end the violence in Manipur
