This is a critical agenda and potentially a game changing idea/thought. Ideally the CCPD also should be attending. I believe this should be the campaign forward.
George From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Anchal Shashi Bhatheja Sent: 17 July 2025 09:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [AI] Discussion on digital accessibility, article 21 and KYC-India interNational Centre-21 July, 6 PM Dear all, Sometimes, all it takes is one case—or one conversation—to shift how we think about rights. What started as a legal challenge to an inaccessible website has opened up a deeper question: Is digital accessibility a constitutional right? What happens when persons with disabilities are systematically left out of the digital public sphere—not because they lack skill or interest, but because the design itself excludes them? We’re hosting a conversation on exactly that, and I’d really love for you to join us. We will be discussing Pragya Prasun v. Union of India and Amar Jain v. Union of India, wherein the Supreme Court recognised access to digital services, as intrinsic to the right to life and liberty under Article 21. 🗓 Date: Monday, 21st July 2025 🕕 Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM (High tea at 5:45 PM) 📍 Venue: Conference Room 2, India International Centre, New Delhi Speakers: – 1. Justice (Retd.) A.K. Sikri 2. Sidharth Luthra, Senior Advocate 3. Ila Sheel, advocate for the petitioner 4. Yamina Rizvi, Legal Officer, iProbono 5. Pragya Prasun, Petitioner 6. Amar Jain, Petitioner and co-founder, mission Accessibility Moderated by: Anchal Bhateja, Research Fellow (Disability Inclusion & Access), Vidhi The conversation will bring together perspectives from the judiciary, legal practice, activism, and lived experience to ask: what does equal access mean in a digital age—and how can the Constitution help us get there?
