Magazine

India Today is the leading news magazine and most widely read publication in India. The magazine’s leadership is unquestioned, so much so that India Today is what Indian journalism is judged by, for its integrity and ability to bring unbiased and incisive perspective to arguably the most dynamic, yet perplexing, region in the world. Breaking news and shaping opinion, it is now a household name and the flagship brand of India’s leading multidimensional media group. Additionally, the weekly brings with it a range supplements like Women, Home, Aspire, Spice and Simply which focus on style, health, education, fashion, etc. and Indian cities.

NITISH’S MISSION OF UNITY • SOON AFTER ENDING HIS ALLIANCE WITH THE NDA, NITISH KUMAR STARTED THE PROCESS OF UNITING OPPOSITION PARTIES TO TAKE ON THE BJP IN 2024. HIS MATHS IS FLAWLESS, BUT GETTING ALL FRACTIOUS ELEMENTS ON BOARD IS A TOUGH ASK

OVERALL PLAN FOR A UNIFIED FRONT • Stitching an anti-BJP ‘main front’ with both the Congress and Left parties on board. The Congress is central to the plan as the grand old party is in direct contest with BJP in 186 Lok Sabha seats

STILL THE SHAHENSHAH • Age hasn’t dimmed his aura; if anything, the luminescence that surrounds Amitabh Bachchan has only grown, born of a man who is constantly reinventing himself. A tribute

“Amitji is a unique phenomenon”

“He defines the very word stardom”

“Every shot for him is his first shot”

“An institution that defines discipline”

“A rare cine actor who has mastered anchoring”

“We need stars like him to keep the magic of cinema alive”

“They lie who say they don’t want to be like him”
