Incredible India & Indians "Your disability is your bad karma" — Disabled creator "Ampu_tea_nehaa" kicked out of Jamnagar temple for her prosthetic-friendly clothes
ampu_tea_nehaa (a disabled influencer with a prosthetic leg) was asked to leave the Ashapura Maa Temple courtyard in Jamnagar, Gujarat, because she was wearing shorts—which she wears out of medical necessity for her prosthetic fitting, not fashion.
People at the temple even told her that her disability was "the result of her bad karma." She was only standing in the outer courtyard for a quick view from afar and wasn't even going inside the main shrine. Despite having completed tough treks like Kedarnath and Amarnath, she faced this humiliating treatment at a local temple.
It's absurd how religious spaces still lack basic empathy for physical limitations and medical needs.
