Fifth column: Sanitation is a human right
It is because we in India did not want to talk about it that until the Swachh Bharat campaign Indians continued to ‘defecate everywhere’.
Last week I was reminded of the reason why I endorsed Narendra Modi in this column when he first became prime minister in 2014. I believed then that he had been unjustly maligned in the mainstream (read liberal, Leftist) media as the ‘Butcher of Gujarat’ for something that has happened under other chief ministers who have totally escaped censure. The only pogrom by the Indian State against a community was against the Sikhs. Rajiv Gandhi was prime minister. The ‘liberals’ who ensured that Modi was denied a visa to enter the United States, until he became prime minister, never held Rajiv to account.
