The complex and the diverse world of disability has become an emerging area of
academic enquiry in contemporary times. Scholarship on disability studies have come out based
on social and medical model of disability in different parts of the world and research in the field
is advancing steadily. In India too, a nascent disability school of thought is gradually emerging
focusing on the socio-cultural realities of Indian society. However, the micro issues and local
narratives of disability of a lesser represented region like North-East India is hardly visible in the
mainstream Indian disability studies. Of course the experience of disability in the peripheral
region like North- East which is marked by economic backwardness, lack of proper
infrastructure, insurgency, conflict etc. is definitely different from mainland Indian experience.
Hence, the national seminar is an endeavour to engage scholars and academics across disciplines
like Literature, History, Political Science, Law, Social Work etc. to advance knowledge in the
field.
