Two-volume legend
By: N P Ashley Malayalis, it is said, have a knack for trolls and memes. From a shared filmic folklore, quick, funny, sarcastic images get churned out and shared instantaneously. One author who often features in this social media banter is Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. Be it Ettukali Mammonju—a prototype for politicians who take credit for everything (he would famously say, 'It is me,' whenever any unmarried woman in the village got pregnant!), or Aakashawintayi ('sky toffee), the name an interreligious couple, Sarasamma and Kesavan Nair, gave their child by picking lots, or Bhargavi Nilayam, now a synonym for haunted houses after the 1964 film—among literary figures, Basheer's presence in popular culture is perhaps the most telling. Basheer didn't write very much. His 40-year-long literary career can be fitted into two volumes. His writing became mythical not because of its simplicity, accessibility, or brevity—but because he was overwriting; writing on top of already existing materials; he was a palimpsest. He wrote against writing itself and that freedom has a certain deep and lasting appeal. He altered the content of Malayalam fiction by introducing Muslim social life and using writing as a tool for community reform. He crossed cultural boundaries, closed gaps—yet always remained an outsider: to literature, to society, even to his own community. Banned, targeted and arrested—Basheer's early public life makes it difficult to say if they are creative writing pieces from a freedom fighter and political activist (against the Travancore diwan Sir C P Ramaswamy Iyer) or a fiction writer's meanderings into activism. He is best a hyphenated entity in this phase. Even after his legal troubles ended post-1947, controversy followed him. His calls for reform and his resistance to moralism—naming a book Pavappettavarude Vesya (A Prostitute of the Poor), exposing ethical hollowness in Sabdangal (Voices)—kept him on edge. At a time when writers split into aestheticists and socialists, Basheer charted a third path: Writing about spirituality, the Sufi-Yogi worlds and ethical complexity, as CR Parameswaran noted. Friendship was his forte, humour his tool. He spoke lightly and irreverently of all castes and religions. This fluidity feels empowering to today's content creators. But synthesizing such contradictions wasn't effortless—it must have been excruciating. As NS Madhavan observed, it possibly drove him to madness. In an age when mental health conversations resonate with a huge section, Basheer, an author to be hospitalized in a lunatic asylum, becomes a person to reach after. Overwriting takes skill, social sense, and the right attitude—not to sound self-righteous or off-putting. When done right, it resembles Google's landing page: The simplest interface masking the most complex backend algorithm. Basheer reads a bit like that.

Google's AI Overviews hit by EU antitrust complaint from independent publishers
Alphabet's Google has been hit by an EU antitrust complaint over its AI Overviews from a group of independent publishers, which has also asked for an interim measure to prevent allegedly irreparable harm to them, according to a document seen by Reuters. Google's AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that appear above traditional hyperlinks to relevant webpages and are shown to users in more than 100 countries. It began adding advertisements to AI Overviews last May. The company is making its biggest bet by integrating AI into search but the move has sparked concerns from some content providers such as publishers. The Independent Publishers Alliance document, dated June 30, sets out a complaint to the European Commission and alleges that Google abuses its market power in online search. "Google's core search engine service is misusing web content for Google's AI Overviews in Google Search, which have caused, and continue to cause, significant harm to publishers, including news publishers in the form of traffic, readership and revenue loss," the document said. It said Google positions its AI Overviews at the top of its general search engine results page to display its own summaries which are generated using publisher material and it alleges that Google's positioning disadvantages publishers' original content. "Publishers using Google Search do not have the option to opt out from their material being ingested for Google's AI large language model training and/or from being crawled for summaries, without losing their ability to appear in Google's general search results page," the complaint said. The Commission declined to comment. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority confirmed receipt of the complaint. Google said it sends billions of clicks to websites each day. "New AI experiences in Search enable people to ask even more questions, which creates new opportunities for content and businesses to be discovered," a Google spokesperson said. The Independent Publishers Alliance's website says it is a nonprofit community advocating for independent publishers, which it does not name. The Movement for an Open Web, whose members include digital advertisers and publishers, and British non-profit Foxglove Legal Community Interest Company, which says it advocates for fairness in the tech world, are also signatories to the complaint. They said an interim measure was necessary to prevent serious irreparable harm to competition and to ensure access to news. Google said numerous claims about traffic from search are often based on highly incomplete and skewed data. "The reality is that sites can gain and lose traffic for a variety of reasons, including seasonal demand, interests of users, and regular algorithmic updates to Search," the Google spokesperson said. Foxglove co-executive director Rosa Curling said journalists and publishers face a dire situation. "Independent news faces an existential threat: Google's AI Overviews," she told Reuters. "That's why with this complaint, Foxglove and our partners are urging the European Commission, along with other regulators around the world, to take a stand and allow independent journalism to opt out," Curling said. The three groups have filed a similar complaint and a request for an interim measure to the UK competition authority. The complaints echoed a U.S. lawsuit by a U.S. edtech company which said Google's AI Overviews is eroding demand for original content and undermining publishers' ability to compete that have resulted in a drop in visitors and subscribers.

Best of the Week: Growing up with tech that talks back
We—me and others around my age—have had a front-row seat to the whirlwind of tech evolution, and wow, it's been fast. I still remember when Google first entered our lives. It quickly became the go-to for every question imaginable—whether it was a school project or a random 3 am worry spiral. Google always seemed to have the answers. I've seen people go from a simple search about a stomach ache to full-blown panic, convinced it was cancer. Good times, right? I've turned to Google for everything: awkward questions, real-life dilemmas I couldn't bring myself to ask anyone, and pretty much all my homework. And honestly, it usually came through. Then came 2022. Enter ChatGPT. Suddenly, everyone was talking about this artificial intelligence (AI) that didn't just answer questions—it had conversations. Some even said it felt so real, they started catching feelings (yep, really). And just like that, Google wasn't the only tech brain we leaned on—ChatGPT had officially entered the chat. In a way, we've grown up alongside these digital revolutions. And something tells me this is only the beginning. ITC's food play has come a long way since it set a ₹ 500 crore target in 2003. Its non-cigarette FMCG business now clocks nearly ₹ 22,000 crore in annual sales. While core brands like Aashirvaad and Sunfeast continue to grow, ITC is aggressively acquiring niche and regional players to stay ahead in a fragmented market. From Yoga Bar to 24 Mantra, the company has spent over ₹ 3,000 crore in recent years to expand its portfolio. But scaling food brands isn't easy, as taste, regional preferences, and brand trust matter. ITC's big bet is on a mix of brand extensions and strategic buys, backed by distribution muscle, that can help it thrive in India's complex food landscape. Read more. As China tightens its grip on critical mineral exports, Indian and Japanese companies met in Delhi this week to explore joint solutions to EV battery supply chain risks. Top Japanese firms like Panasonic and Sumitomo, under the Battery Association of Supply Chain (BASC), are in talks with Indian players such as Reliance and Amara Raja to discuss co-development of lithium-ion battery tech and critical mineral sourcing. While India eyes 100GWh of domestic battery capacity, progress has stalled due to raw material dependency and missed PLI milestones. Read more. Over 125 CFOs exited listed Indian companies in Q1FY26, a 25% rise from last year. This raised red flags about governance. Many, like Mastek's CFO Raghavendra Jha, cited only 'personal reasons' before abruptly leaving. Experts warn this vague phrasing often conceals deeper issues, pointing to cases like Gensol Engineering and IndusInd Bank, where financial lapses surfaced soon after CFO resignations. Despite Sebi's mandate for detailed disclosures, boards often let such resignations slide without clarity. Governance experts now urge tighter rules and greater board accountability. Read more. India's grey market for equities—an unofficial arena where IPO shares change hands before listing—is back in focus after retail investors took a hit in HDB Financial's ₹ 12,500 crore offering. Operating largely off the books and often in cash, this market is unregulated by Sebi or the stock exchanges. At the heart of it is the grey market premium (GMP), a rough gauge of investor sentiment that can swing wildly. In HDB's case, the GMP plunged 40% after the issue price was announced, rattling investor expectations. While pre-IPO trading exists in global markets too, India's grey market stands out for its opacity and high risk. Experts caution retail investors against relying solely on GMP, citing poor liquidity and the potential for price manipulation. Due diligence and a healthy dose of scepticism, they say, are essential when venturing into this murky space. Read more. Sergey Brin is back at Google, leading a crack team to reclaim AI dominance with Gemini, Google's foundational model suite that challenges OpenAI's GPT. Working from a satellite office near the Googleplex, Brin is pushing to future-proof the $350-billion giant's core business: Search. After a sluggish start in the AI race, Brin's comeback marks a turning point, shifting Google's culture toward speed and innovation. The Gemini push has narrowed the gap with OpenAI, with developer adoption soaring and Gemini now boasting 350 million users. While CEO Sundar Pichai juggles lawsuits and global operations, Brin's startup-style focus could be Google's best bet to lead the AI future and defend its legacy. Read more. Is your inflation data telling the full story—or is gold throwing it off balance? In India, gold isn't just a shiny metal; it's a trusted investment, a cultural mainstay, and, increasingly, a quiet disruptor of inflation trends. As global uncertainties push gold prices higher, they're skewing India's core inflation figures. A recent Crisil report reveals that if gold were excluded, May's core inflation would have been 3.4%—not 4.2%. That's a sizable gap. The problem? Gold's price swings are driven more by global market forces than domestic demand, making it an unpredictable component in India's inflation basket. Which raises a big question: Should India rethink how it calculates core inflation—and consider stripping gold out of the equation? Read more. Trade wars, a property slump, deflation fears—yet China's economy still managed to grow 5.4% in Q1 2025. The secret? A strategic pivot away from the US, with exports surging to India, Brazil, and Europe. Domestic indicators are also picking up: retail sales are rising, infrastructure spending is booming, and Beijing has rolled out stimulus worth 1.6% of GDP. Citi has now raised its 2025 growth forecast to 5%. But questions remain. Trade ties are still fragile, consumer confidence is shaky, and the property sector remains a drag. Can Beijing shore up household demand with stronger healthcare and social safety nets? Or will a stubborn real estate crisis and an ageing population stall the momentum? Read more. A four-day face-off between India and Pakistan in May didn't just rattle borders—it shook the skies. Airports shut down, flights grounded, and air travel took a nosedive. Air India saw the highest cancellation rate at 3.4%, while overall domestic air traffic grew a mere 1.9%—the slowest since March 2022. But the fallout wasn't just domestic. As Türkiye and Azerbaijan backed Pakistan, calls for boycotts flew thick and fast. The result? A 24% drop in Indian tourists to Türkiye, and over 21% to Azerbaijan. Was it a one-off reaction—or the start of a deeper freeze in travel ties? Read more. Ever wished you could earn from toll roads like the big players do? That might soon be possible. The NHAI is setting aside ₹ 25,000 crore worth of units in its upcoming InvIT issue exclusively for retail investors, offering a chance to earn steady income from completed highway projects. But that's just one part of a broader push. From scrapping the outdated 'lowest bidder' rule in road planning to setting up a permanent workforce for strategic border roads, the NHAI is going all-in on building world-class infrastructure. And with logistics costs still stuck in double digits, minister Nitin Gadkari is betting these reforms will bring it down to 9% by December. Read more. A $4-trillion-a-year funding gap—can the world really bridge it? That was the big question at the UN's once-in-a-decade Financing for Development summit in Seville, where global leaders gathered in search of answers. But with major donors like the US skipping the event and global aid falling 7.1% in 2024, the signs aren't promising. Poverty reduction has stalled, debt is tightening its grip on developing countries, and aid flows are increasingly shaped by geopolitics rather than need. Yet amid the gloom, India stands out—not for its deep pockets, but for its scalable ideas. From lifting 250 million people out of poverty to building digital public infrastructure and empowering MSMEs, India is offering a different kind of leadership. Can it inspire where wealthier nations waver? And will the global community finally put its money where its promises are. Read more. That's all for this week, I hope you have a pleasant weekend!
