Journalist Aman Misra on mainstreaming non-ableist coverage of Paralympics, acceptance of psychosocial disabilities in newsrooms, WhatsApp accessibility, and recommendations
Aman's view reflects something I have been mulling over the past few months - the insidious/subtle caste system operating within the disability community and the need to give more attention to the less privileged disabled folks at the margins.
Perhaps, we need to sort out ourselves before we call out the shortcomings in the mainstream.
Caste system and hierarchy within the disability community are rarely spoken about. I look forward to hearing more from your part of the world, Alexander! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

It gets that blunt.
