Amar Discussions often give us a new perspective and thought to take up things further. I can directly write to Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan letting them know my take on the sceen and Aamir's commitment which he pledged through his disability episode of "Satyamev Jayate". But that's not my job. By doing critical discussion on negative depiction in Bollywood, we should aim to provide a range of issues to be taken up by the interested parties who are involved in advocacy. My objective behind posting this post was to not only let people know how a blind is duped by Aamir Khan in the movie, but to take this discursive battle further which challenges the conventional depiction of disability by Bollywood cinema. And I think when movie goers start questioning such negative bias against blind people, directors will enhance the scope of their faculty. Indian feminists are fighting tirelessly against the objectification of women for years and the change is visible. We should hope disability sector will soon include popular culture as one of the core areas for advocacy in India.
