Swachh Bharat ?

By Ranjita Biswas

Scene 1: A reputed university in Kolkata known for its student community with liberal views. Whenever the occasion rises they go out protesting against any injustice, perceived or real. You go to the campus and find colourful posters all around with a young crowd in groups talking nineteen to the dozen, discussing world politics to local ones. They sit around sipping a coffee or a Coke, some throw rings in the air from their cigarettes. On way to attend a seminar in a hall, you look at their animated faces and miss your college days.
