"You will destroy the sanctity of this place."
"If you don't take the children and go from here, people will come and beat you."
This is what kids from @snehdhara foundation were told when they went on a field trip to Gollahalli railways station.

The foundation works with children/adults who are differently-abled, their caregivers, and their families.
They were taken to show trains and what a station looked like and received an uncalled-for lecture in return. @BlrCityPolice @CPBlr I expect you to act.

The foundation was ready to buy platform tickets in accordance with the rules - to enforce the norms for the children and for safety. But none of that really mattered. Their mere presence seemed to be a violation of the rules. @Virali01 @namrasha
But in the end, they did get to see the trains. "We did and will continue to fight back to give voice to our children, over and over again. Inclusion comes with perseverance. Two steps forward and one step back is still progressing toward this vision." said the teacher.
Why are we so insensitive? Why do we let our kids go through ridiculously discriminatory experiences?
