Highlights of India Today 8th August 2016, issue:   The cover story this week The Dalit Trap takes a close look at the travails of the Dalit community and how every political party is wooing them for their vote. However, underneath all the surfaces, the prejudice against the community lies intact and spills out as brutal acts of upper caste violence every time Dalits try to resist oppression.   The Big Story, New Gun Mantra, looks at how the overhaul of the Arms Rules puts weapons out of reach of the common man but at the same time opens up the sector to private Indian and foreign players.   The story Phish Pond is a report on Jamtara - a sleepy little district in northeastern Jharkhand - that has emerged as an unlikely hub of cyber crime in India.   This issue also has a report on cricketer-turned-neta Navjot Sidhu and how his next move may well be a game-changer in the Punjab elections.   The magazine includes a report on Pokemon Go and how India is going crazy over its first AR experience.   The profile A Past Master is all about Director Ashutosh Gowariker, who is known for his marathon epics that mix fact with fiction. The story looks at his latest offering the historical fiction, Mohenjo Daro, which goes back to an even more ancient civilisation.   The issue also comes with four free magazines: Spice, Simply Hyderabad, Simply Bangalore and Simply Punjabi.
