Javed Tak's journey after a bullet hit his spine in 1996 shows just how much one can do whilst in a wheelchair. After the accident, he dedicated himself to the welfare of people with disabilities.
When he found that the state government was not doing much to help leprosy-affected people, he filed a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission and urged the government to act on it.
While pursuing a master's degree from Kashmir University, he helped physically challenged students form a union. The university's infrastructure was not disabled-friendly. . .
