To go with India-health-women-marriage-society,FEATURE by Ben Sheppard

Recently-wed Priyanka Bharti, who left her marital home in protest due to the lack of toilets in the household, poses next to a toilet during a ceremony following her return to her in-laws residence at Vishnupur village in Maharaj Ganj, some 30 kms from Gorakhpur in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, on June 27, 2012. Spotlessly clean and decorated with plastic flowers and balloons for its opening ceremony, Priyanka Bharti’s toilet is seen as a gleaming symbol of the empowerment of Indian women.
