The article discusses the history of sanitation in India and the need for a shift towards sustainable sanitation practices in rural areas. It outlines the different eras of sanitation policies in India, from focusing on water supply to addressing open defecation and finally prioritizing toilet construction. Despite efforts, a large percentage of rural India still practices open defecation. The review suggests that India needs to move from just building toilets to managing a sustainable sanitation system.
