    For people with disability in India, every day is a parkour course
    2025/08/19
    India has a serious lack of spaces accessible to the disabled. For that to change, the issue must be viewed not just as a legal one but as a social responsibility.

    The world over, democracy seems to be in trouble. It is seen to be failing people and trust in it is plummeting.

It may mean the loss of freedoms and the erosion of institutions but so be it, they say. All Indians Matter launches a three-part series that examines how we got here and what we can do now to preserve our democracy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
