The disabled are one of the most discriminated and dehumanised groups of people in the world. Till recently the disabled were largely in a receiving angle without a theoretical model of their own. However, since, the development of disability studies and various writings in that field, a theoretical frame work is being evolved to approach the question of disability with an autonomous and experiential involvement from within the disabled community. However, a few critics in the field are of the view that disability studies as it exists today is largely masculine oriented and since, there is a strong cultural and theoretical linkage between the scholars in disability studies and feminist criticism,there has to be an expansion of the disability studies giving emphasis to the questions raised by the feminist critics as well. These mandate a clear cut revision in the existing paradigms and perspectives.
