Values and Social Constructs Underlying Inclusive Education and Disabiliy Perception in India

Disabilities are seen with guilt, stigma, and fear, as families believed that they were the result of bad karma. Families felt like it was no one else's fault (not the societies and state) but their own - that it could not be helped by others as it was their own burden. Because of these cultural misconceptions, there are wider implications on government policies as implementation strategies partially do not exist. The issue has shifted away from public domain and been made a personal responsibility. While Indian society is accepts diversity in many ways (spiritual, religious, etc.), there seems to be a contradictory injustice toward people with disabilities.
