I heard that aircraft incident. I remember the hue and cry it created. Airline apologized. And then everything was forgotton.

As you said, we need to change our attitude. We need to think about it when we next elect our candidates. Sadly, we end up electing losers like RamaDoss and Arjun Singh who turn a blind eye to injustice and dig up trivial issues and solutions.

The discrimination against the disabled is going on in India is going for centuries. Yet not as a society nor government has done anything substantial for them which is indeed very sad. In India over 90 million people are suffering from one or the other kind of disability and it is apathy of us who have never cared for 8-10% of the country’s population. Last year i read that 11-year-old autistic son of a south Indian actor was refused entry to an aircraft at Bangalore Airport because he ’looked different’ and in the opinion of an airport security man
might be a threat to other passengers.
We have an act “THE PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (Equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation) ACT 1995 which says–
1. ensure that every child with a disability has access to free education in an appropriate environment till he attains the age of 18 years
2. endeavour to promote the integration of students with disabilities in the normal school.
3. promote setting up special schools in govt and private sector for those in need of special education in such a manner that children with disabilities living in any part of the country have access to such schools.
4. endeavour to equip the special schools for children with disabilities with vocational training facilities.

But what is the efficacy of this ACT?
As u have said that a disabled person in India has fewer options to attend school,college; getting employment is next to impossible; etc
We must realize the ground realities because we have left behind a chunk of population behind. And this is not the way India will shine.
As an individual also we must change our outlook towards disable person.
