Where India Goes by Dean Spears and Diane Coffey is a powerful exploration of how sanitation, public health, and caste shape everyday life in India. Drawing on clear evidence and compelling storytelling, the book examines why open defecation persists, how it affects children’s growth and development, and what these patterns reveal about inequality.
Thought-provoking and deeply relevant, this book will appeal to readers interested in social change, policy, economics, and development. It offers a sharp, humane look at one of India’s most urgent challenges, and invites readers to think about the hidden costs of neglecting basic infrastructure and dignity.
