One Tukaram is Not Enough - 12 October 2026 Issue
▪
SubscribeYour food may not be safe. The system knows it. Yet the food chain keeps moving. From five-star kitchens to roadside dhabas, food passes through a chain where contamination, adulteration and poor hygiene can enter at every stage, with consequences ranging from diarrhoea and jaundice to typhoid and hepatitis. Into this maze has stepped Tukaram Mundhe. Since taking charge as Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration commissioner in May, Mundhe has overseen more than 12,000 inspections and raids, cancelled or suspended around 600 licences and sealed more than 300 eateries. But raids cannot fix a broken system. India has the laws, standards and regulators. Yet violations persist, enforcement remains uneven and corruption finds its way through the gaps. Mundhe can keep cracking the whip. But can one man change the system? In this issue, Outlook examines India’s food-safety maze, where it fails and why one Tukaram is not enough.
The Chinese Plunder - 28 September 2026 Issue

SubscribeClimate change is making the Himalayas even more vulnerable. Glaciers are melting twice as quickly as in 2000.Rising temperatures are accelerating glacier retreat and altering snow and ice conditions, increasing the potential for landslides, avalanches and glacial floods. But there is another reason for the degradation of the Himalayas. China. Our northern neighbour's insatiable hunger to build humongous infrastructure on ecologically fragile systems has caused harm to the subcontinent as well as the larger Southeast Asia region. The calamity in Nepal offers a stark warning of the risks of China's large, opaque projects, delayed information and environmental disruption. The country is putting millions of lives and billions of dollars of economic activity in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar at stake.
Drugs Without Borders - 14 September 2026 Issue
▪
SubscribeMore than five crore Indians use cannabis and opioids—roughly the population of Spain. Drugs are no longer confined to the margins of society. They are moving from affluent neighbourhoods to small towns and villages, feeding a rapidly expanding illicit market that is becoming more organised, more sophisticated and harder for law enforcement to contain. India’s geography makes the crisis even more dangerous. Wedged between the Golden Crescent in the west and the Golden Triangle in the east, the country sits between two of the world’s major narcotics hubs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent Independence Day speech underlined the urgency of the challenge.The stakes could hardly be higher. Nearly one crore young Indians are estimated to be addicted to synthetic drugs, at a time when 27 per cent of the country’s population is aged 15-29. Every addiction carries a cost, not just to families, but to productivity, healthcare, the criminal-justice system and national security. India’s drug problem is a crisis capable of eating into the country’s demographic dividend and undermining its economic ambitions. In this issue of Outlook, we travelled to Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana to understand how deep the crisis runs, and to tell the stories of people whose lives have been shattered by drugs.
