Highlights of India Today 3rd October 2016, issue:

In the aftermath of the Uri attack in which Pakistan-based militants killed 17 Indian soldiers, the cover story this week 'How to make Pakistan pay' explores India's options in retaliation to Pakistan, with an outright war ruled out.

This week's big story 'Diminishing of Akhilesh' discusses how the neglect UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav is facing from his father could backfire for the Samajwadi Party ahead of the UP assembly polls. If Mulayam Singh Yadav continues sidelining his son, his party could lose its most credible face.

Jeemon Jacob's nation story 'Able Helmsmen' on Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan talks about how this not-so-loved politician is willing to put development before dogma, which has rightfully earned him the tag of an adept administrator and the most reputed politician.

The second nation story 'Caste Adrift' tells how Maharashtra is staring at the threat of exploding with Marathas and Dalits confronting each other, intensified by the recent rape and murder of a 14-year-old, allegedly by three Dalit men.

The issue also comes with two free magazines: Simply Hyderabad and Simply Kolkata.
