India's Accessibility Illusion: Why The System Fails Millions


Listen Later

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act made accessibility mandatory in India back in 2016. Ten years later, can a wheelchair user actually board a train alone? Can a deaf person get evacuated in a fire?


In this episode of "No One Talks About This," Aditya and Haripriya (safcurl+) unpack the gap between accessibility on paper and accessibility in practice — from the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, to India's Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan campaign, to the decade-long fight for non-binary public toilets in Delhi. We move beyond the visible 10% of disabilities to discuss invisible struggles like PTSD, claustrophobia, and the often-ignored needs of senior citizens.
