Satyamev Jayate News

In the second last episode of Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan touched upon a fundamental topic that affects not only India, but governs life itself. Water scarcity has become a reality in India. People especially women have to walk miles to fetch a bucket of water. ‘Water wars’ have become a common occurrence leading to bloodshed and unfortunate deaths. A time is likely to come when our water supply runs out and we will have to buy water at a price similar to fuel.

The social circle was buzzing with discussions on water conservation. #ConserveWater was No. 1 trending topic in India within an hour after the show was aired on Sunday. It continued to trend till the next day morning. Some notable and top retweets around the topic were:
