Parental Love and Upbringing: A Complete Analysis of Urban and Rural Perspectives on Disabled Children in Indian Cinema

Deepak Meena

Abstract: A disabled child learns things and gains maturity from the behavior of their parents. His adult or teenage upbringing happens with parents because able-bodied children don't want them to have a place in their group. In this paper, we're going to analyze urban and rural parents' upbringing, love for disabled children, and the impact of their disability on them. For this, we will be taking 3 Indian movies, namely BLACK (2005), AHAAN (2020), ANANYA (2022), and a documentary, ROOTING WITH ROONA (2020), in order to describe rural parents' behavior and also the tendency of urban parents towards their differently abled children. A proverb prevails for the parents of disabled children, which says, "If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others."

Keywords: upbringing, discourse, social orthodoxy, sexuality, intersectionality
