I think that representation of disabled in parliament will nothing
to do. in past we had MPs from disabled cummunity, but, there was no change.
also it is my opinion that we should focus on blind particular not on
disabled in general. it is wwitnessed that in past most of the movement
started by blind individuals, groups or NGOs, but, the benifit has gone
to other disability in majority.

Rahul,
You could ask him as to what he can do to try and get representation
for Persons With Disability in the Parliament. To begin with maybe
the Rajya Sabha
Best,

I too think that audio description has little importance as the
statements and not visual posture of the legislators are of importance.
Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of
statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem.
When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go
in the table where list of papers are given.
Not discovered much though.

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the
proceedings of parliament as it is already about debates, speeches,
and auditory things. They emphasis should be much more on digital and
physical accessibility. We should also push about
representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

Hi all,
Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a
meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate
trigger for this meeting is his observations about Parliament
not being disabled friendly and an article that I wrote on the
subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and
its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite
your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him.
This is what I have in mind at present:
First, Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied
by sign language interpretation and audio description. At
least the most important ones to begin with.
Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing
all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been
done by the Supreme Court recently.
Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and
website of the Parliament.
Let me know if you have any other inputs.
Rahul
