Filmmakers Monika Kathuria and Praful Tyagi have released this uplifting short film, highlighting why we should treat those with special needs equally.
The video features Praveen Chaudhary, who was diagnosed as a slow learner but is a national gold medalist in football and athletics...
... And Snehil Nagpal, who is autistic, and is a national champion at rollerskating,
The short film has been selected for screening at the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles, starting later this month.
Monika told BuzzFeed India that she intends to secure funding for a longer film documenting such athletes.
Her ultimate goal is to bring about a change to the existing mindset of society, so that people like Praveen and Snehil can be perceived as much more than just "intellectually disabled".
After all, they have proven that their achievements, and not their disabilities, define who they really are.
And despite every setback, they're making India really, really proud.
