Fighting for an Un-Reserved India | Ajit Babu ( Serial Entrepreneur, Innovator and Writer)
Serial Entrepreneur, Innovator and Writer, Ajit Babu talks at India Inclusion Summit 2015 on Disability, Labeling and fight against Reservation in India
Ajit was born pre-mature and spent the first months of his life in an incubator. Soon the doctors found that he had cerebral palsy. Having a disability didn’t earn him any special privileges at home. He still had to clean his room like his brother. But out in the world outside when he started interacting with people, he didn’t understand why people felt sorry for him. Also his achievements were celebrated more by the world than his brother’s achievements were. He wonders if it’s because of the disability label. That is when Ajit decided that ‘How the society looks at you shouldn’t decide the way you live the rest of your life’. He decided to fight labeling of disability, stereotyping disabled people and fighting against reservation (disability and in general). During this short and inspiring talk, Ajit also launches his Unreserved India movement. His dream of ‘Inclusive India’ would be fulfilled when people talk of all kind of achievers equally.
