Abstract: “Where India Goes: Abandoned Toilets, Stunted Development, and the Costs of Caste” examines the intersection of sanitation, social inequality, and economic growth in India. It highlights the crisis of abandoned toilets, fueled by systemic neglect, caste discrimination, and socio-economic disparities. The book explores the wide-ranging consequences of poor sanitation on public health, gender equity, and marginalized communities. It critically assesses government responses and underscores how caste-based inequality perpetuates poverty and stunted development. The work calls for urgent action to address caste-related disparities and promote a more inclusive and sustainable future for India.
