India Today Magazine - August 19 2013

In this issue

Highlights of India Today issue dated August, 19th 2013

This week\'s India Today is a special social media edition on India\'s 67th Independence Day, written and curated by our online readers. It has blogs by eminent personalities like L.K. Advani, Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan and Anand Mahindra, among others.

The Special Report, \'Back to badlands terror\', highlights the hollowness of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav\'s promise of change in suspended IAS Durga Shakti\'s case and also reveals that his politics is as divisive as his father\'s.

The issue has a profile of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal who is in the eye of the storm. The intrepid young officer took on illegal sand mining only for the cynical state government to punish her on the pretext of having incited communal tension. Durga Shakti is proof that India is no country for upright bureaucrats.  

The section Neighbours is on Pakistan. The story on the recent brutal attack on six Indian soldiers in Poonch, killing five of them, exposes the Pakistan Army game plan in Kashmir which threatens to derail Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif\'s peace talks.

The Nation section talks about Anandiben Patel who is the most powerful minister in Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi\'s Cabinet. With Narendra Modi set for a national role, Patel is the front-runner for the Gujarat chief minister\'s post.

The cinema section in this issue is all about Sonakshi Sinha. The \'Big, Bold and Beautiful\' woman has become the talk of town with a string of box-office hits in a career just 10 films old. Her easy glamour and Indianness make her a throwback to the golden girls of yesterday.

The edition has three free magazines, Woman, Simply Delhi and Simply Chennai, with it.
