India's state run railways decided to be a bit different and hire disabled people to work for them. This is a good thing as India doesn't tend to offer many jobs to disabled people or make access to buildings easy, and it's a success for those that campaigned their case to the Supreme Court to get vacancies in the disability quota filled.
So imagine you are disabled and how life changing this is going to be for you. You send of your application and get accepted to go and sit a test to show you are capable of working for the State Railway. You put your Sunday best on, give yourself a good old brush up, you strap on your second hand prosthetic leg or get out your home made crutches and haul yourself to the building for your important test that could change your life.
You have struggled to get across town probably being ridiculed because your are disabled, and there it is the State Run Railways building in all it's glory looking at you. You straighten your tie and mop the sweat from your brow, you take a sharp intake of breath and............................................................
It aint a joke. It's true.
