A decade ago, India was a different country. The lack of basic necessities like electricity, bathrooms, and tap water was a harsh reality for millions of people. The daily struggles of women in Indian villages were unimaginable by Western standards.

Then, along comes Narendra Modi, promising change and progress. Under his leadership, India has seen a significant transformation. Access to electricity, bathrooms, and tap water has drastically improved, with over 90% of the population now having access to these basic necessities.… Continue reading
