In the stone age , persons with disabilities were banished from the group as realities of time demanded that everyone in the group contributed to the group. Then even as we became more civilized the practice continued in civilizations like Greece, Italy etc.These despicable acts could be remotely justified on the arguments of survival,so those who are not able to contribute could not possibly be part of tribe. Even in recent history as late as 18th ,19th century disabled people continued to face discriminations. Some believe discriminations had its roots in the belief that disability is god'curse,or disability is communicable ( in India probably even after the discovery of theory of germs), or various such reasons. Their fear could also be justified as they were scientifically ignorant. But when it comes to us here at a time when man is most rich,intelligent than it had ever been in the pas,t I find it hard to think of a single reason that we are not able to provide these disabled brothers of ours with their rights.Education is still eluding them,those who have proper qualifications find it hard to find a job which rightly awards his talent and degree, in villages social stigmas are prevalent , girls find it harder as in addition to economic abuse ,they are prone to sexual abuse as well. Arguments about prioritizing education,jobs etc of not disabled person may not be out in the open,but this is what is happening. How many schools,buildings etc we find in our locality which have proper,leave proper even basic facilities for disabled like ramps,special teachers in schools ? Now arguments of economic constraints would be propounded by some these facts would be helpful.
