  Letter from the Editor-in-Chief  
     
  Dear Subscriber,  
     
  Almost everywhere one looks, bloodshed and oppression stalk the world – from governments repressing their own citizens to movements that are bred on a thesis of terror being the only language, to a normalisation of inter-personal domination and control by brute force and infliction of pain.  
  Yet, even in this almost orgiastic miasma of pain and misery sweeping the world, there are shoots of sensibility and an outreach towards attempting a change in this poisonous atmosphere. Conflict resolution and moves to mainstream a broader and more encompassing understanding of the other’s point of view have been long underway and a number of institutes around the world have been working on creating platforms and media of compassionate outreach, lessening of aggressive posture and language, and creating space for dialogue, which is featured in this issue.  
  As if to counter this doom and gloom scenario came India’s display of prowess at the recent Tokyo Paralympic Games, that have now traditionally become a follow on to the Summer Olympics, held a year late in the hospitable and hi-tech capital of Japan. From track and field to the archery and shooting ranges to the badminton and table tennis arenas, India’s para athletes performed like never before, the 19 medals from these single Games overshadowing the 12 in toto won since India debuted at the 1968 Paralympics in Tel Aviv-Yafo.  
  Yet, whether this will change things on the ground in terms of the differentlyabled being perceived and accepted as “normal” remains to be seen. Suffice it to say a start has been made by the feats of our para athletes who have made an enormous statement of intent, that of staking a claim to being regarded as being the same as everyone else.
