Just watched the movie and read your piece! I loved how you drew parallels between the University and India. I loved the point of checklist of inclusivity but forgetting whom are we truly including. This movie had put out so many points so subtly. To add to it, I loved how they mentioned the importance of sign language to not just the deaf community but to everyone, since the chairperson was not able to speaks due to fire alarms. I wish to work with schools in India to incorporate sign language as a course to make it more inclusive. Kindly, let me know how can I work on it. My name is Yashika Garg, and I have just completed my Post Graduation from TISS mumbai. I am emailing the same to you, thank you for putting this piece out there.

A piece that would resonate with deaf people everywhere - especially from the patronizing and audism context. Yes, they (hearing people) feel superior - and that hurts! But it's our (deaf people's) duty to keep pushing back. thank you, Dr Alim.
