For three months in 1995, Afaur village in Bihar's Saran district had electricity. Villagers fondly talk about fans that worked light at night and watching television much like they would recount the fleeting visit of a celebrity. Fleeting it was. One day they woke up to no electricity and for 17 years they have lived without.
