Here is a sobering fact: on August 15, 2020, when India celebrated its 74th Independence Day, only 16.8 per cent, or 1 in every six, of the 191 million rural households in the country had functional tap connections that supplied them potable water for drinking and other domestic use. A majority had to depend either on a nearby hand pump or a walk to the well. The burden of collecting the water fell usually on the women and girl children of the household, resulting in loss of both time and energy. Besides, there was no guarantee that the water thus collected was potable, leading to water-borne diseases that continue to plague much of India.

‘Love jihad’ is a term recently given credence in Indian law, and refers to an imaginary concept coined by the Sangh Parivar to refer to a non-existent conspiracy by Muslims to trap Hindu women into conversions through forced marriage.
