Long time back, I edited a book for Ali Baquer who was the President of Concerned Action Now (CAN), an advocacy group for the disabled. At that time Delhi was getting new bus stops and it was publicly touted to be disabled friendly. Prof. Baquer and I discussed how misleading the publicity was because none of the bus stops really are wheelchair accessible.
In India the disabled are invisible in many senses. Accessibility, support groups, diagnosis, medical help...the list is endless. I am not going to say much but am going to provide a link to a write-up that explains it all.
