Dear Friends
I have learnt a lot from my fellow disabled and the scholars who are well
known. What is sad is that when I go through research in west, I often find
that though writings by the south Asian scholars is not considered worthy.
I do understand the colonial powers. However even people who have reviewed
my work for instance, do not bother to include the work. Is it because the
work is bad, then there is all the more reason to criticise the
writings.Would you really want to create a community of disability scholars,
only from USA, UK and Australia ? Since I am kind of baffled, I thought
if people can help me understand.
Thanks
