The process of urbanisation affects the lives of disabled people directly and indirectly. In a city, the disabled may find more employment opportunities as well as better options for communication and transport. However, little attention is paid to their daily struggle for survival. More often than not, they are viewed as parasites. A concerted effort needs to be made for their inclusion in the society.

 

 

Rajeev Kalelkar is the co-editor of 'Parivartanacha Vatsaru', a Marathi fortnightly that explores trends in social change. He is himself a physically challenged person and has written several articles in Marathi and English on the problems of the disabled. He has been associated with various cultural movements for over 30 years. He has written plays, and has translated feminist poems from Marathi to English and vice-versa. He has also been associated with Men Against Violence and Abuse (MAVA) and People's Union for Human Rights.
