Khela Hobe? - 11 May 2026 Issue
▪
SubscribeThe West Bengal Assembly election has once again turned into the country’s most closely watched political battleground. Outlook's May 11th cover—Khela Hobe?—suggests, the contest is not just electoral but symbolic, with Mamata Banerjee guarding her political turf against an aggressive Bharatiya Janata Party . On the ground, however, as Satish Padmanabhan’s reportage from Murshidabad, Siliguri and Kolkata reveals, the election is shaped by far more than campaign rhetoric. Snigdhendu Bhattacharya on the other hand decodes the statistics at play in the Bengal elections. Running parallel to this electoral churn is a deeper national debate on representation, captured in our package on women in politics. The long journey of the Women’s Reservation law. In her column, Dr. Thamizhachi Thangapandian argues that while women have become central to electoral mobilisation, their empowerment must move beyond symbolism. The tension between visibility and power, runs through our profiles of women leaders across the country. Right from Nemcha Kipgen in Manipur, Mehbooba Mufti’s in Jammu and Kashmir, K.K. Shailaja in Kerala, Kanimozhi in Tamil Nadu , Atishi in Delhi and Deepika Pandey Singh in Bihar- who continue working in uneven political terrains. Zenaira Bakhsh examines the controversy around Prime Minister's televised address during elections, raising concerns about the use of state media and the erosion of a level playing field while NK Bhoopesh writes about the election theatrics in Tamil Nadu. Beyond elections, this issue turns to conflicts that continue to shape lives. Mrinalini Dhyani’s report on Manipur captures the persistence of violence nearly three years after the initial outbreak. Seema Guha tracks the uncertain nature of Iran–US engagement while Manoj Kumar Jha reflects on how moments of global tension are increasingly reduced to spectacles. Gurjit Singh analyzes the Gulf situation where conflict dynamics have redrawn strategic landscapes. Get all this and more in this power packed issue of Outlook.

SubscribeJust as the US-Iran ceasefire appears to be holding, electoral battles in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are heating up. The Union government has suffered an unexpected setback: its bid to pass a constitutional amendment linking women’s reservation and a fresh delimitation exercise, has been defeated. This round belongs to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, one of the fiercest critics of the Delimitation Bill . In West Bengal, the exclusion of over 90 lakh voters has emerged as the defining poll issue. Can these two states resist the saffron surge this election season? In a special interview with Outlook, Stalin calls the delimitation a conspiracy to silence the southern states. Snigdhendu Bhattacharya reports an elaborate mechanism aimed at reshaping Bengal’s electorate in favour of the BJP, as part of its all-out battle against the Trinamool Congress. Campaigning in Tamil Nadu is revolving around delimitation and federalism, while on the ground the TVK factor is generating excitement, reports NK Bhoopesh from the ground. Ilyas Mohammad in his column profiles the actor -politician, Vijay and asks whether Thalapathy can become Thala. With Nitish Kumar's exit an era has ended.

Trump & US-Israel War on Iran - 21 April 2026 Issue

SubscribeThe US-Israel war against Iran can be coined as the war of nerves. Iran’s defiance has reframed the conflict, turning it into a test of endurance rather than dominance. Washington proclaims victory while Tehran has absorbed the blows and returned the attacks in almost equal measure. Iran appears to have called America’s bluff and the US risks emerging from this conflict with its reputation and military dominance tarnished. Outlook’s April 21 issue, I ran to bomb Iran, but instead I ran , maps the human, political, and ideological fault lines of this turbulent moment. Ali Araghi writes about living far away from family living through the war in Iran. Iftikar Gilani looks at how countries in West Asia confront a war with no safe ending, while Souzeina Mushtaq asks what has happened to America’s youth.
