Women and Handicapped

Malayalam original - Savithri Rajeevan
Translation : Dr. Santosh Alex


Women and Handicapped

I am handicapped
Whether I travel towards north
to the western banks
to the eastern mountains
or to the south
I get a seat in the bus.

Not only in cinema theatre, railway station
Ambalapuzha and Alappuzha
even in ration shop and in polling booth
I ...have a place to stand.
In choice, death
laughter, pyre
and even in court
I am protected.

Still my place is always
with women
among women.
I don't know whether
women too are handicapped.
