We sadly miss a gentle soul, a committed teacher, the love, warmth and
human bond personified. My interaction with Late Prof. Shethi goes back
to more than a decade old conversation we started at JNU. on the
discourse of disability, shooting ideas on the prospect of involving
each one of us in our own small ways in making it a trans-disciplinary
enterprise. Little did we realise during those conversations that she
would stand out as the first faculty to introduce a full course on
disability at JNU.
Encouraged by the burgeoning research interest and academic
paraphernalia — thanks to the sincere efforts of a small group of
scholars who were trying hard to carve a niche for disability studies in
the Indian university system, some of us started taking interest as
curious learners. I must mention that we have had a privilege of being
tutored by teachers like Prof. Nilika Mehrotra who belonged to that
"small group of scholars". Late Prof. Shethi by then was popular for her
courses on African-American writings, Native-American literature, post
colonialism, and so on. As far as I remember, Tony Morrison remained one
of her favourite literary heroines, and it was based on one of
Morrison's popular writings that Dr. Shethi framed the terms of her
first engagement with disability studies. Initially at least, it was
quite a reluctant move. Once stepped in, she didn't seem to have looked
back, though. The intricate web of socio-cultural relationships Dr.
Shethi could bring to the table by looking at even minor disabled
characters was amazing, and one didn't feel to miss even a single word
as she spoke. My emphasis is "listening on to Dr. Shethi", for she had
never been in the rush of writing. It is exactly this reason which
prompts such a long post here. As a paragon of forgotten virtue, she
spent her qualitative time more in introspective teaching rather than
for consumerist writing.
May her soul rest in peace!
