An Epiphany Into the COVID-19 Crisis-Induced Influence on the 'Otherly' Abled
Abstract
The nuanced structural invisibility in the social phenomenon is suggestive of it being inclined towards the normatively accepted standards of ‘normality'. The failure to fit into the accepted standards and definition of normality often results in being ‘othered'. Progressive legislation, policies, and guidelines have been enacted both pre-dated and during the Covid-19 pandemic only to delimitate categories between the ‘abled' and the ‘differently-abled'. Human behavior and inclusivity, a basic expectation from the social phenomenon, that is considered to be the mainstream idea behind such policies is still a dream far from reality. The academic gap between the normatively accepted definition of ‘abled' and those being ‘othered that is the differently-abled existed even prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, however, post-dated-pandemic-era the gap has only exacerbated. The article seeks to examine how the pandemic has induced exacerbation of ‘othering'.
