International disability day

 






 Abilities within Disability 

The term "disability" is made with two word i.e dis+ability, means incapable in the eyes of people of the society. Though the word disability was first noted in 1961 it took almost 22 years to get a proper form. It was coined by Mike Oliver in 1983.                             

Disability was unnoticed term but it got a new a evolution since 1992 when United Nations started to celebrate as "International day of disability.  From that period of time 3rd December is the day for the people with disability. The main aim of celebrating this day is to encourage differently abled people for learning rights, dignity and to make them aware that their presence and involvement  could make a huge impact in every aspect of life. 3rd December raises awareness about the rights of inclusiveness of differently abled person in social, economical, political and cultural aspect. The main purpose of celebrating this day is to motivate the people with disability to see their life in a new and positive way. A physical impaired individual could be mentally strong as abled people. 

In the word there are lots of well -known people who have earned name and fame through intellectual knowledge, being ea sportsperson, inventor, author and a politician. Stephen Hawking , Helen Killer, Ester verger, Louis Braille, Jhamak kumari Ghimire , etc are the best example to showing that nothing could stop a person for doing the things  they are good at it. Stephen Hawking was one of the greatest theoretical physicist of the modern age which proves that physical disability can't be a barrier when we are eager to learn and show our ability.

In the context of Nepal, disability is still taken a weakness of a person, as a result disable person are not included in the field of politics, sports, or any  social event in a equal manner.

Ability can only be seen when platform are given to the people with disabilities as well. At last l would like to give a huge respect and solute to the activist who are working hard to provide rights for the people with disability by hoping for the betterment. Lets hope for the best.
