India’s young generation is questioning two promises: that education leads to a secure future, and that raising its voice can bring change.
The November 9 issue of Outlook explores India’s growing graduate employability crisis, with more degrees failing to guarantee jobs as AI reshapes the workplace. It also profiles Neha Bora, the student leader who keeps returning to the streets despite being detained, as student politics finds a new lease of life.
From the value of a degree to the power of dissent, what does the future hold for a generation demanding more?
Read the November 9 issue of Outlook for The New Rebel and Degree Delusion. Pick up your copy or read the issue online.

Eight digital certificates issued by eMudhra had weak secret keys that researchers said could be cracked in under a second. They could potentially have been used to impersonate trusted websites or sign malicious software.
Google, Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla have blocked the affected certificates, while India’s IT Ministry says digital signature and eSign services remain unaffected.
There is no evidence so far that the flaw was exploited. Keeping your devices and apps updated remains an important safety step.

Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia have signed the ‘Badr’ defence pact in Doha to expand military training, joint exercises, defence production and research, according to Turkey’s Defence Ministry.
The agreement aims to strengthen their military capabilities and defence industries by combining their technical expertise and production capacity.
It follows a separate defence arrangement signed by Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in August.

Uttarakhand minister Subodh Uniyal confronted the singer on stage at an event in New Tehri, questioning his performance and alleging intoxication. He also cited a reported ₹35 lakh fee.
Mika Singh and other celebrities defended Mehndi, raising possible health concerns and criticising the public reprimand. Sona Mohapatra argued that artists also owe audiences and organisers professional accountability.
The allegation of intoxication has not been independently verified.
Can a disappointing performance be challenged without compromising an artist’s dignity?

Two Bangladeshis were executed in Saudi Arabia over what authorities called an ‘immoral act’ inside a mosque in Mecca on October 14.
Bangladesh says its consulate was not notified beforehand and has requested the court judgments and details of the offences.
Without the full judgments, the legal basis for the death sentences cannot be independently assessed.

If every petrol two-wheeler in India went electric, how much cleaner would our air get?
Roadside exhaust pollution would fall, but the overall drop in PM2.5 is unknown. No verified national estimate exists for this scenario.
Road dust, tyre wear, construction and industry would still pollute the air. So would power plants, with coal and lignite accounting for 73.01% of India’s utility electricity generation in FY2024–25.
EVs can cut exhaust pollution, but cleaner power and better public transport are also needed.
Can India's EV transition deliver cleaner air without changing how its cities move?
