Even at the tender age of 13, Nitya Rathi speaks of inclusion in the most articulate and well-informed manner. “Inclusion is important because without it, we won’t be introduced to new learnings. By understanding this, we won’t judge people for being differently-abled,” says the Delhi resident. With the urge to educate people and assure those with dyslexia that they’re not alone, the comic Beating The Odds: Purple Flame and Dabung Girl was created by Rathi and comic book writer and educator Saurabh Agarwal.
