More 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.
Is India an ancient civilisation or a modern nation-state? Does it share a collective history, or has a collective identity been imposed upon a country of many histories, faiths and cultures? Does India need a Uniform Civil Code, or is its pursuit an ideological project? These are not merely arguments about India’s past. They are choices about its future. India has been shaped by competing ideas—civilisation and constitutionalism, faith and secularism, individual liberty and collective identity, revolution and reform. At every turn, different choices have offered different destinations. In this Independence Day Special, Outlook brings together India’s leading thinkers, politicians, economists and bureaucrats to confront the fundamental questions before the republic: What is India? Who defines it? And what should it become? Many ideas made India. Many paths lie ahead. The choice belongs to its people.
The resilience of Indian democracy lies less in the certainty of its institutions than in the persistence of its citizens. Across decades, governments with formidable parliamentary strength have learnt that political authority cannot rest on electoral arithmetic alone. It must be sustained by a continuing conversation with the people. The protests over the NEET ( National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) paper leak, culminating in the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, mark the latest chapter in that larger democratic story. This issue of Outlook examines how a movement led largely by young Indians reaffirmed an old principle of the Republic: that power derives its legitimacy not only from the vote, but also from accountability.
