ABSTRACT

Equality is not and should not be based upon majority, and majoritarianism is actually the enemy of equality. However, even the terms ‘minority’ and ‘majority’ are ill-defined and used inappropriately to usually derail our conversations on inclusion. Any discussion on inclusion ideally should not even have any talks of majority and minority. It should be about no one being left behind and having unbiased potential for good quality of life for all. Yet, experiences of being marginalised are rampant and probably increasing. Ordeals of people with disabilities are only an example of this, and this global pandemic has just highlighted our biases, stereotypes, and tendency to be very discriminating in our actions and thoughtless in our ideas. The problem often stems from our lack of practice in inclusive thinking in our everyday lives.
