“…It isn't as if the disabled had a carefree life before capitalism; they however, did have spaces in family-based work as well as local units that would absorb them in a dignifi ed way. However, a shift came with capitalism as both the social organisation and concept of human labour changed (Stewart and Russell 2001) with increasing assembly lines as well as precise mechanisation of factory work; the disabled workers were considered incapable of absorbing in substantial work activity and excluded thereby failing to fi nd a livelihood in the capitalist economy. As a result, the responsibility I believe, for turning impairment into disability lies with the economic system.…”

The objective of this article is to locate disability issues within the discourse of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The idea is to question the failure of the goals addressing disability. MDGs cannot work as a universal remedy. It is critical to foreground the meaning of disability and underscore the reasons for the disabled people's absence from the agenda of the MDGs. Further, I discuss the ways in which state policy has addressed ‘disability’ in a globalising context. Finally, I outline the paradox of identity politics and its nuances based upon an understanding of the issues and related questions from my own experiences as a disabled Indian woman, having to contend with the existential realities of a visible physical disability. The plea is to expand the democratic space to ensure that the rights and needs of disabled people within the MDGs discourse are given due consideration.

However, a shift came with capitalism as both the social organisation and concept of human labour changed (Stewart and Russell, 2001) with increasing assembly lines as well as precise mechanisation of factory work; the disabled workers were not seen as having any value. They were excluded because they were not in a position to keep pace with the factory-based system of production As Ernest Mandel noted that capitalism "throws out of the production process" a section of the proletariat: unemployed, old people, disabled persons, the sick, etc.…”

Located in the larger context of globalisation and the changes effected by it in the Indian education sector, the paper looks at the issue of disability and education. The situation, it argues, is too complex and the problems for the disabled child are exacerbated by the caste, class and gender variables. The state while formulating its policies for the education of the disabled children hardly looks at the larger context in which the children are located and therefore most of its programmes are restricted to mere tokenism. In such a situation, the author argues, there is a need to alter the way the question of disability is seen in education and that we cannot understand the problem unless an effort is made to locate them within the political economy of disability. The education of the disabled remains a contested site as it fights the twin forces of globalisation as well as politics of normative hegemony unless we fight the institutional disablism.

“…Flocculation is of major interest in the brewing industry, it assists regulation and can be used to control the removal of yeast cells form the newly fermented wort [3]. Flocculation is also relevant for other biotechnological processes, as bioreactors can work both at high cell densities and with high yields [4,5].…”
