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

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

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.

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

Allowing a student with a hidden disability (ADHD, Anxiety, Dyslexia) to struggle academically or socially when all that is needed for success are appropriate accommodations and explicit instruction, is no different than failing to provide a ramp for a person in a wheelchair.
