REPRESENTATION OF VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHARACTERS IN VED MEHTA’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY FACE TO FACE
Dr. Akhilesh Kumar*
Abstract:
This paper tries to discuss and critically analyse the portrayal of disabled characters in society by disabled authors, especially in their relationship with blindness. To analyse the above, Ved Mehta’s Face to Face (1957) is the primary source for this paper. Through textual analysis, the condition of visually impaired people in colonial and postcolonial India is discussed in this article. This paper also examines how blind people in a third-world country face cultural difficulties amongst American blind people. The ‘sickness narratives' experiences go against any form of essential universalism in an effort to show the particularity and uniqueness of the experience. An intentional act is a disabled autobiography. Such themes and concepts have also been discussed in this research paper.
