Watch in ISL/ Read now | Alim Chandani reviews the documentary, Deaf President Now! and talks about the challenges of Deaf inclusion in India. Available in English text and Indian Sign Language.
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.
