‘Don’t blame quota’: Disability activist on Puja Khedkar case, inclusivity
Manage episode 433955291 series 2650013
After the spate of allegations against IAS probationer Puja Khedkar, last week the UPSC said she had misused the disability quota and filed a case against her. But this changed the course of the conversation, with several bureaucrats raising questions on the need for the quota.
Arman Ali, executive director of the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People, spoke to Newslaundry about why putting the blame on people with disability is a harmful narrative and would result in pushing back people of disability by decades.
Ali also spoke about a case he recently filed against prominent cricketers for allegedly mocking people of disability and the need to include disability in mainstream conversations.
