He is a lawyer of some standing and was telling me he challenged the High Court in Bombay that even an institution such as the court itself, that exists to provide citizens with equal rights, has no means of access for disabled people, after which a ramp was built that would do more harm than good. Yet another appeal later, the contract was given to a decent company who made a permanent, usable one. A small victory, I know...but at least baby steps are being taken.
