One dubious distinction was conferred on India recently. Sify carried a WHO report that more than 1.2 billion people in the world do not have adequate toilet facilities; they are forced to defecate out in the open. India, for your kind information, has 625 million who do it out in the open. Given these basic requirements, you would think the government of this upright, honest, intellectual, eminent economist and a man of integrity, would have turned his attention to more fundamental needs of his countrymen, instead of desperately seeking to sell India to a cartel of nuclear technology suppliers.
