The history of Disability takes us as back as to the early civilizations, where Ancient Greeks had antipathy towards those with bodies that were ‘atypical’ according to their community. Towards the middle ages, there was the growth of faith based religious institutions with a charity approach to individuals who were ‘atypical’. Then in the era of Enlightment, disability was understood through scientific knowledge. Disability and the Disability studies in 21st century gained the attention of the academicians, activists and other social scientists. Disability is no more confined to the domains of rehabilitation professionals, therapeutic institutions functioning under the bureaucratic regime; rather it has shifted to the change among the differently abled people’s identity, their increased participation and the institutional sensitivity towards the barrier of exclusion of the disabled. But ‘Disability’ as a concept and the life of the impaired is always subject to vary from place to place depending upon the socio-cultural aspects.
