India’s print media is among the largest in the world. More than 25 per cent of the world’s blind population is in India.
Yet, India’s 12 million visually impaired people do not have a daily newspaper dedicated to them.
In a small way, Swagat Thorat has been trying to change that. Thorat started working with the blind in 1991 when he conceptualised and wrote a documentary about educational methods for the visually impaired.
In 1997, he made Swantantryachi Yashogatha, a play that featured 88 visually impaired artists, a world record.
