A British learning disability charity has introduced a beautiful photo series featuring people with learning disabilities.

The idea is to change the way society views people with learning disabilities.

Famous fashion photographer Rankin has shot the photo series. It challenges the label given to such people by the society.

The photo series is a part of Mencap's 'Here I Am' campaign.

The campaign and a survey of attitudes of society towards people with learning disabilities were launched at the same time.

"Nothing comes easy, you have to work for it"- My Take by Somjeet Singh, Captain, India Wheelchair Cricket Team

Hi, I'm Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn’t define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people’s attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
