Disrespectful video mocking a Deaf Interpreter and demeaning Interpetering service. This violates RPWD Act’s provisions on non-discrimination & equality. Urge @msjegoi take action against Instagram @Rohancariappa n @shaayanbhattacharya

I have filed a complaint with the @DelhiPolice against the abhorring behaviour by cricketers @YUVSTRONG12 @harbhajan_singh @ImRaina & @metaindia for mocking disability. I hope prompt action is taken to ensure no one dares to demean disability.

चुनाव पर उनसे सुनिए, जो बोल नहीं पाते...

जो बोल नहीं सकते, उनकी भी आवाज़ है. वे क्लाइमेट चेंज पर बात करना चाहते हैं, गंगा की सफ़ाई चाहते हैं, वे स्कूल-कॉलेजों पर बात करना चाहते हैं. चुनाव और राजनीति पर बधिर लोगों ने क्या बताया...

3 lakh deaf people in West Bengal couldn't understand Modi's speech on ABP Ananda due to no ISL translation. We're sad and disappointed. #Accessibility #ISL #Inclusion @narendramodi @abpanandatv

Recently the Supreme Court of India allowed an accessibility provision for a deaf lawyer Sarah Sunny made possible through efforts of Sanchita Ain, Advocate on Record, Supreme Court who herself is a person with disability, through a sign language interpreter (Saurav Roychowdhury).

Though it's the most basic accessibility requirement and should need no applause, but as ARUN C RAO, Founder, Association of Sign Language Interpreters (ASLI) in India told me in the morning it may be the 'Camel's Nose' moment for all of us working in the field.

I really hope this doesn't stop at giving limelight to just one instance & assume that all problems are solved with this minimal gesture. Rather, it becomes a call to get attention to the pertinent accessibility issues that the deaf people face: for instance when they are not given sign language access in their early childhood leading to language deprivation, or provided negligible education access in schools since teachers don't sign, or no access to information or entertainment or services except a bare minimum.

@IMAIndiaOrg Doctors take an oath of 'DO NO HARM', but for centuries irreversible 'language deprivation' is being caused when ENT doctors omit or advise against use of sign language. This leads to cognitive, socio-emotional, academic loss & denial of language as a human right.

@EduMinOfIndia @MSJEGOI @MSJE_AIC @socialpwds @MinistryWCD @MoHFW_INDIA @MIB_India @UNICEFEducation @UNICEFIndia @unesconewdelhi @UN_Enable Language Deprivation happens when doctors , parents, teachers & society fails to provide access to early sign language to deaf children.

[Pallavi K. @pallavitura]

There's punishment for stealing money/ things with imprisonment or fine or both.
But no punishment for stealing language from millions of deaf children!!
Sign language rights are human rights!
#LanguageDeprivation has ruined generations of deaf people - STOP THIS NOW.
