  • On July 8, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling while hearing a plea to ban the film "Aaankh Micholi" for its offensive portrayal of people with disabilities (PwDs).

Framework to Prevent Stereotyping and Discrimination:

  • The framework aims to prevent negative portrayals that contribute to discrimination against PwDs.

  • Avoid using derogatory terms like "cripple" and "spastic" that reinforce negative self-image.

  • Strive for accurate representation of disabilities, avoiding mockery.

  • Focus on the social barriers that PwDs face, not just their impairments. 

  • Avoid terms like "afflicted," "suffering," and "victim."

  • Involve PwDs in the creation and assessment of visual media content.

Legal Context:

  • The Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act (2017) is the primary law governing disability rights.

  • Other relevant laws include the National Trust Act (1999), Rehabilitation Council of India Act (1992), and Mental Health Care Act (2017).

  • The ruling emphasizes the human rights model of disability, which views PwDs as rights-holding members of society.


Challenges:

  • Implementation of existing disability rights laws remains a concern.

  • Terms like "Divyang" used by the government might reinforce a charity-based view of disability.

  • Continued use of derogatory terms in political discourse highlights the ongoing struggle for acceptance.

Balancing Creative Freedom:

  • Freedom of expression in cinema is not absolute when depicting marginalized communities.

  • The Supreme Court considers the "intention" and "overall message" of a film in evaluating its portrayal of PwDs.

Way Forward:

  • Collaboration with disability advocacy groups is crucial for creating respectful and accurate representations.

  • Training programs for filmmakers on the impact of portrayals on public perception and lived experiences of PwDs are recommended.

  • Overall, the Supreme Court's ruling is a significant step towards ensuring respectful and inclusive portrayal of PwDs in visual media.
