Recenzii

"Ghai’s book gives an extensive, detailed and complex overview of disability in India. It is the author’s position at the interface between a research scholar on disability, a disability rights activist and a disabled person that makes her book so interesting and demonstrative. As do her remarkable expressions of hope and strength as illustrated by her comment, “Polio was a gift –an opportunity from which to learn, experience, understand, and then move on” (p. 15)."
Anna-Lena Wolf,  International Quarterly for Asian Studies
