Abstract

This article makes a case for the commingling of caste and disability issues to make social justice movements more inclusive. According to the author, “Anchoring the identities of caste and gender with disability helps to comprehend different shades of vulnerability…. The need of the hour is to have an inclusive and progressive coalition of the Dalits and Disabled activists to raise a clamour for de-essentialisation of medicalisation of disability and have compassion and unflinching empathy for the needs of one another.”
