The Indian Constitution places differently abled individuals in Article 41, which talks about the welfare of unemployable groups such as the elderly, sick and differently abled. This is a clear indication of how the different abled individuals are perceived as unproductive and/or unemployable. According to the ‘Annual Disability Status Report’, of the 70 million differently abled persons, only 100,000 have obtained employment in India. Recently, the government has been making efforts in forms of progressive legislation, schemes and provisions for their benefit. But in reality, the community is being consistently disadvantaged and marginalised by neglect.
Answer:
The person which I have chosen as a differently abled personality who is a sports person is, Tanni Grey Thompson. Following are some aspects about her early life, education and what inspiring things she has done.
Explanation:
Tanni Grey Thompson is a successful, female,Television producer who is a former wheelchair racer as well.
She is known as one of the success stories belonging to United Kingdom in the category of differently abled people.
She was born with a disease called Spina bifida. She didn't have any control of this disease, so instead of wining about it, she made the best of her situation and thrived to become an athlete in wheelchair racing.
She is one of those people who started off her athletic career with much trouble but didn't give into the pressure and made something out of herself.
She became well known and an inspiration to many differently abled women, when she joined the field of politics. In 2010 she became a member of the House of lords.
