“Critical Essays on Disability Rights Jurisprudence: Combating Exclusion, Embracing Inclusion brings together reflections from disability rights scholars from India and beyond. The focus on India, and other countries in Asia, makes the book a valuable contribution to research in this field, as it explores jurisdictions which are often not addressed in literature on disability rights. This book will lead to further awareness, reflection and engagement in this field in India and beyond.”
