Highlights of India Today English issue dated December 15th, 2014 'Can She Deliver?', this week's cover story is on HRD Minister Smriti Irani. The story looks at Irani’s controversial 6-month term in office and analyses how she has a long way to go. Shekhar Gupta's column 'National Interest' discusses the need to save Indian liberalism from its Left-liberal elite. The 'Big Story' in the issue, 'Black Money, Black Hole', talks about how the Narendra Modi government is as much on the defensive as the UPA was on the issue of black money. The issue contains a special report on the Indian Navy. From obsolescence and material fatigue to crisis in leadership, the report, 'The Navy's Blues', discusses the challenges the maritime force is facing and how it looks to change course. The story 'Mid-course Manoeuvres' in the 'Nation' section talks about the BJP government's skilful change of tack from its previously held views on key national and diplomatic issues and how it reflects the Prime Minister evolving in his job. The second story in the section, 'Hidden Treasures', throws light on India's obsession with gold. There is also a story on the brave Haryana sisters, who captured the nation's imagination, by fearlessly thrashing three men who allegedly harassed them on a moving bus. The magazine also comes with four supplements: Aspire, Woman, Simply Chennai and Simply Delhi.
