Read “Delhi Ridge: Ecology, Memory, and the Question of Access“ by Puneet Singh Singhal on Medium: medium.com/@puneet2021/...

Wazirabad village, Delhi, 1960s. The Wazirabad bridge is central to the village’s identity. Locals claim a sealed tunnel beneath it leads to the Red Fort and was once used by Prithviraj Chauhan’s daughter, Bela, to reach the Yamuna. #DilliDehat #DilliDehatProject

In 2026, it still needs saying: disabled people should not have to fight for food, safety, dignity, or the right to exist. When survival itself becomes a daily negotiation, the failure is not individual, it is systemic and we have chosen to normalize it. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #Disability

Instead of asking how to ease the struggles of disabled folks when they suffer, too many people conclude they simply shouldn't be existing. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #DisabilityInclusion #SDGs #a11y

How to Make Workplaces Truly Accessible for Disabled Talent– THIP

Inclusive hiring does not require perfection. It requires intention and consistent action to make workplaces accessible for disabled talent.

"When this government says disabled people ought to work, we ask: Where are the jobs? The level-access commuter trains? The accessible homes? The carers to dress me at 6am? (Right, Brexit made them leave.) The reduction in wait times for Access to Work, Wheelchair Services?"- Anna Landre

'Persons with disabilities are expected to stay 'quiet,' not be 'sensitive,' not take things 'seriously,' not 'panic,'to just 'ignore' and just let things go.We are told not to 'overthink,' not to 'make a fuss' by calling out Ableism, exclusion, and inaccessibility."- @puneetsiinghal.bsky.social

Accessibility is about freedom. It removes the shackles that prevent some people from using technology, entering buildings, getting information, or simply living life. When you free those who were constrained by barriers, you often end up freeing others in the process. #A11y #WeAreBillionStrong

Read my quote on IDPWD, "Beyond assumptions: What persons with disabilities wish you understood" story by Rekha B for YourStory : yourstory.com/socialstory/... #IDPD2025 #IDPwD2025 #WeAreBillionStrong #SDGs

Beyond assumptions: What persons with disabilities wish you understood

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, individuals with disabilities share the one thing about their life or experience that they wish people understood better.

Stop labeling disabled people as 'inspiring' for surviving a rigged system. The real inspiration would be tearing down the ableist structures that oppress them. Accessibility, inclusivity, and equal rights aren't optional—they’re overdue. #DisabilityInclusion #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong

AI हकलाने वाले लोगों के आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाने में मदद कर सकता है

AI हकलाने वाले लोगों के लिए सिर्फ एक तकनीकी टूल नहीं, बल्कि एक साथी बन सकता है। यह इन लोगों के लिए विभिन्न तरीकों से लाभदायक हो सकता है।

If a disabled person says they’re struggling, believe them. If they ask for help, don’t make them prove they deserve it. We downplay our pain because the world isn’t built for us to stop. What you see is a fraction of what we carry. Don’t assume we’re fine—we’re surviving.

When you say, 'I don’t see disability,' what you're really saying is that you refuse to see the barriers disabled people face every single day. #WeAreBillionStrong #SDGs #AXSChat #Disability #Ableism

Efforts to build heat resilience need to center the needs of those most at risk.

Ableism is applauding disabled people for surviving a rigged system instead of questioning why the system was built to break them in the first place. #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #DisabilityInclusion #Ableism #DisabilityRights #SDGs

Assuming that all disabled people will be “fixed” by technology (be it prosthetics, cochlear implants, gene editing) and therefore not investing in accessibility now is a big mistake. Or conversely, designing tech with only the majority in mind. #Disability #WeAreBillionStrong #AXSChat #a11y
