Which one is true? "Millions are starving"?
Open defecation is a problem, yes, but that problem is being addressed everyday. Still it's not the same as saying "Millions are starving and homeless". Being poor doesn't necessarily mean you're starving and homeless. Poverty has layers.
And upward mobility is increasing. My maid's daughter's are working in an MNC in another city. Visit a kaam wali ki basti sometimes, you'll see most of their children are in school or colleges. They are still poor, but their next gen is already doing better.
So yeah, this "Millions are starving" narrative is bullshit.
