India is home to over 60 million hearing-impaired people. Few in our country know sign language, and fewer still understand it. This reduces opportunities, limits conversations and experiences for those with different hearing abilities.

The Quint reached out to students of Noida Deaf Society, in an attempt to give them a platform to express their love for the language. They gave us a crash course in sign language too!
