Disability History in India: Conceptual Formations in Religion and Law
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
The conceptions on disability have been coursing through different forms. Disability history is recognised as an emerging and developing sub-discipline of the social history of medicine. The concept of disability has a vital position in the domains of religion and law. This paper attempts to examine the historical conceptualisation of disability in the domains of religion and law in India.. Though the experience of disability in India is historically distinct from that of western tradition, there may be similarities between the western and Indian high culture tradition of exclusion and stigmatisation of people with disabilities, particularly in the pre-modern period, these cultures are grounded in different concepts of social inclusion. Though the term disability is interpreted in various ways by the social context of religion and political context of law, presently it has been conceived as something to be synchronised with inclusion, equality and accessibility.
