  The history of early Indian empires is a fascinating story of conquest, governance, and cultural transformation. Over centuries, three powerful dynasties—the Maurya, Satavahana, and Gupta Empires—laid the foundations of Indian civilization, shaping its political, economic, and social structures.  
  The Maurya Empire, established by Chandragupta Maurya, was the first large-scale empire to unify much of the Indian subcontinent, creating a highly organized administrative system.  
  Under Ashoka, the empire saw a shift from military expansion to the promotion of Buddhism and moral governance. Following the Mauryas, the Satavahana Empire emerged as a vital force in the Deccan, maintaining stability through a blend of military strength and trade dominance. They controlled key routes linking northern and southern India, facilitating cultural and commercial exchanges.  
  Later, the Gupta Empire brought about a golden age of Indian history, marked by advancements in science, mathematics, literature, and the arts. Their reign saw the revival of Hindu traditions alongside continued Buddhist and Jain influences. Together, these three empires set the stage for India’s rich historical and cultural legacy, influencing the region for centuries to come.

  Against Technoableism -...

  Ashley Shew

  When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
   
   
   
  In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
   
   
   
  This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.
