  Web Accessibility for disabled people has posed a challenge to the civilized
societies that claim to uphold the principles of equal opportunity and
nondiscrimination. Certain concrete measures have been taken to narrow down the
digital divide between normal and disabled users of Internet technology. The
efforts have resulted in enactment of legislations and laws and mass awareness
about the discriminatory nature of the accessibility issue, besides the efforts
have resulted in the development of commensurate technological tools to develop
and test the Web accessibility. World Wide Web consortium's (W3C) Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has framed a comprehensive document comprising
of set of guidelines to make the Web sites accessible to the users with
disabilities. This paper is about the issues and aspects surrounding Web
Accessibility. The details and scope are kept limited to comply with the aim of
the paper which is to create awareness and to provide basis for in-depth
investigation.
