Here is an event that makes one sad and, at the same time, inspired. All Kerala Wheelchair Rights Federation organised a procession to submit a representation to the state government regarding their right to freedom of movement. We create beautiful roads, buildings and recreation facilities. It would cost next to nothing to make them accessible to those amongst us who need a wheelchair to move about.

It is so inspiring that numerous people with very little support from the society move forward with creativity and courage, as evidenced in the procession on World Disability Day in Trivandrum on 3rd December 2016. Congratulations, friends.

But what a sad reflection on the society – to see that they have had to take to the street with a demonstration for the society to give them their right!
