SubscribeIs 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.

SubscribeThe 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.
