- India's laws permit discrimination against the deaf!
India is a big nation where newspapers always describe
the deaf as deaf-and-dumb or deaf-mute. A research team
with the National Disability Network and the Disabled
Rights Group looked at all of India's laws. They found
150 different laws that discriminate against deaf.
Examples are - deaf not allowed to marry, deaf not
allowed to inherit, not allowed to write wills, not
allowed to drive, etc. Many of these laws are old
but were never changed. Will India's legislators
change these laws?
