Kochi, Kerala – 3rd July 2025: As Kerala faces a disturbing drug and trafficking scandal linked to the dark web, filmmaker Girish Vaikom and screenwriter James Bright are ready to release a film that eerily reflects these real-life horrors.

Titled The Dark Web, the film tells the story of two girls who are targeted and kidnapped by a trafficking network operating through encrypted digital platforms. While fictional, the story is rooted in real-world dangers — crypto-fueled crime, online grooming, identity theft, and psychological manipulation.

“We’ve been researching this space for over a year,” said Girish Vaikom. “What we discovered — and what the news is now exposing — is deeply unsettling.”

Written by James Bright, the screenplay is the result of extensive research into cybercrime, victim psychology, and dark web operations. The film portrays not just technological exploitation, but the emotional and social trauma inflicted on the victims.

“This isn’t just about hacking or Bitcoin,” Vaikom explained. “It’s about how invisible networks are being used to trap and destroy young lives — and how society is often blind to it.”

The Dark Web is set for a multi-language release across India, with a script book and interactive campaign aimed at raising awareness among youth and parents.

“We didn’t plan this around a scandal,” Girish Vaikom concluded. “But if our story can spark caution and conversation — it’s doing what art is meant to do.”

The film The Dark Web mentioned herein is a work of fiction inspired by general themes of cybercrime and trafficking and is not directly connected to any specific individuals, cases, or investigations.

“I am one of the few painters who live entirely on his art without resort to teaching or commercial portraits. As for my art, I can confidently say that I am not influenced by anyone and that I am not experimenting”, this self-quote aptly describes Francis Newton Souza (1924 – 2002), the person and the artist. Titled ‘Souza – The Enfant Terrible’, Bid & Hammer’s upcoming sale is a monographic auction of select paintings, books & letters spanning a decade from 1980 to 1990. Sourced from the collection of eminent art critic, taste-maker, and influencer K. B. Goel (1930 – 2018), the never-before-seen works are of the highest quality as Souza told Goel that these were some of the finest works he had produced. Even K. B. Goel had the knack to pick unusual works at shows, to write about, as his aesthetic sensibilities were avant-garde.

A book titled KB Goel – Critical Writings on Art 1957-1998 was published recently by the Sher-gil Sundaram Arts Foundation along with Tulika Books that is a tribute to him. M. F Husain had once remarked of him “K.B. Goel is an original think tank…we just paint.” Such was the genius and clout of K.B Goel that Souza too admired and respected him though he was initially critical of Souza and the Progressive Artists Group.

Ankush Dadha, director of Bid & Hammer, said “We are grateful to Dr. P. L Goel for giving us complete access to the personal letters, photographs, and notes from Souza to their family and vice-versa, that sheds light on a deep camaraderie of intellectuals and how the friendship of Souza and her husband K.B Goel developed and lasted a lifetime”. The artist habitually presented works to “Goel and family” during his annual visits to India and the works in this auction, covering various genres such as landscapes, portraits & nudes, comprise some of these gifts, giving collectors a chance to acquire works that they will truly cherish.

K. B. Goel (left) & F. N Souza (centre) with Vice President M. Hidayatullah

Portrait in Blue, an oil on canvas dated 1984, is a typical Souza head. Sized 30 x 24 inches, the catalogue note on it reads “The subject of a Souza painting is Souza himself and the expressionist sensibility gives vent to its emotion by spontaneously loaded brushwork”. The artwork is estimated at Rs 30 – 40 lakhs. Landscape in Green is a large-sized acrylic on canvas from 1985 estimated at Rs 55 – 75 lakhs. In the words of K.B. Goel, the illustration on this oeuvre reads “The Souza landscapes exhibit a preconceived order; the visual logic of the eye is dominated by the discipline of the hand: a preference for what comes after meditation over the improvization and form over action”. There are two chemical alterations on magazine papers as well, one of which “Five Nudes” showcases the sexual voyeurism of Souza, for which he is best remembered, and the same is beautifully captured by Goel in comparison with James Joyce “ Sex is an escape from a time-structured consciousness: like Joyce who embraced the modern spirit which he described as returned medievalism, Souza goes medieval with Khajuraho as his Ireland, of which the landscape is the pleasure garden”.

Up for grabs alongside autographed & inscribed hard-to-find books are personal letters. In one of the letters dated June 21, 1984, written from his apartment in New York, Souza rhetorically asks Goel “Are Indian artists, the majority of them, effeminate? Tough guys like me, Husain, even Swaminathan, are rare, eh?”.  Spanning pages, directly by the hand of a celebrated artist, to an intellectual and respected critic of the time, these letters shed light on the persona of Souza the artist and human being, and co-relate the thought process to his works for posterity. These paintings and collectibles will surely occupy a pride of place in the winning buyer’s collection.

Some of the artworks are expected to sell at record prices, given their strong provenance, but the auction house prefers being tight-lipped about which of the works, as the format of the auction is ‘Silent Bids’ wherein one has the opportunity to buy works in an open auction yet remains discreet. The auction is from 14th – 17th April 2021 and bidding is by prior registration.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 2: As artificial intelligence reshapes global industries, the IIBM Institute of Business Management has officially launched Vision 2026, a future-forward initiative to cultivate ethical, inclusive, and globally capable AI-driven leaders.

Vision 2026 introduces two flagship programs–Executive MBA in Generative AI and Doctorate (DBA) in AI-Driven Strategic Leadership–developed in partnership with leading European institutions. These 100% online programs aim to produce forward-thinking professionals equipped to manage the complex intersection of AI, ethics, and business strategy.

The future of leadership is not just about using AI — it’s about using it wisely,” said Vikas Maheshwari, CEO of IIBM Institute.

“With Vision 2026, we aim to prepare professionals who are technically strong, ethically grounded, and capable of making decisions that balance business growth with societal good.”

Vision 2026 is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers seeking to expand their global footprint without interrupting their careers. The program emphasizes ethical leadership, global relevance, and direct access to cutting-edge thought leadership.

To foster continuous learning and engagement, IIBM will host an ongoing series of international webinars, expert-led seminars, and global roundtables, giving learners direct exposure to AI pioneers, policymakers, and academic thought leaders from across the world.

We’re creating more than just academic programs–we’re creating a global leadership experience,” said Vidhi Maheshwari, International Academic Head of IIBM Institute.

“Through real-time engagement with top experts, learners develop the confidence, clarity, and conscience needed to shape the future of AI in business and society.”

The initiative especially targets professionals from emerging regions, enabling access to high-quality, globally respected AI education without the need to migrate or leave their communities behind.

With the world expected to see millions of AI-driven roles by 2026, Vision 2026 serves as a launchpad for those ready to lead AI with a global mindset and ethical purpose.

Admissions Open — July 2025 Intake

If you’re a professional, entrepreneur, or mid-career leader who values purpose as much as performance, Vision 2026 is for you.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, Maharashtra, proudly announces the unanimous appointment of Shri Ravindra Dattatray Chavan as the new President of the Maharashtra State BJP. A four-time MLA from Dombivli and a seasoned party worker with over 23 years of meaningful public service. Shri Chavan’s appointment exemplifies the core foundations of BJP’s leadership dedication, ideological commitment, and organizational strength.

This appointment comes at a defining moment for Maharashtra, as the political, social, and regional dynamics of the state continue to evolve. Chavan’s elevation signifies the representation to ideologically grounded leadership and party’s long-term vision for Maharashtra.

Shri Ravindra Chavan’s journey is an inspiring example for every political worker. Hailing from urban Dombivli, Chavan began his political journey through the BJP Yuva Morcha, steadily rising through the ranks — from corporator to MLA, to Minister, and now State President. He has been shaped by both ideological clarity and ground-level experience, making him a leader who understands the pulse of the people as well as the discipline of the organization.

He is known to be an impactful persona within the party and among citizens — “Ravindra Chavan,” the cultural torchbearer who nurtures local talent and institutions like Dombivlikar Ek Sanskrutik Parivar, and “Ravi Chavan,” the tireless political strategist who has played pivotal roles in important elections, including in Kalyan-Dombivli, Palghar, and Sindhudurg. His versatility, groundedness, and fierce loyalty to the party’s cause have made him a trusted face for both grassroots karyakartas and senior leadership.

Chavan hails from Konkan with roots in both Mumbai and Dombivli, his appointment helps the party reach out more effectively to the masses.

Having served under both Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde as a Minister, Shri Chavan has delivered substantial infrastructure results, overseeing ₹92,000 crore worth of roads, bridges, and government buildings — including fast-tracking the Mumbai-Goa Highway. His effective handling of critical political situations demonstrates his ability to navigate complex political terrains with maturity and discretion.

Shri Chavan assumes charge during a politically packed year featuring Gram Panchayat, Zilla Parishad, and Municipal Corporation elections across the state. His foremost responsibility will be to present the achievements of the BJP government, promote the development work done under CM Devendra Fadnavis, and reinforce the party’s message across urban and rural Maharashtra. He also carries the task of strengthening the digital narrative, countering misinformation, and motivating the cadre to take party to the last mile. The respect he commands within the party is evident in the affectionate titles “Aapla Ravi” and “Ravidada”, used by karyakartas and senior leaders alike indicating not just accessibility, but deep-rooted connection and credibility.

Ravindra Chavan’s appointment is a reaffirmation of the BJP’s ideological foundation: nation first, party next, self last. It is also a reflection of BJP Maharashtra’s deep belief in nurturing homegrown leadership. In contrast to dynastic politics, the BJP continues to show that a common karyakarta can rise to the highest organizational post through discipline, dedication, and delivery.

This is not merely a promotion; it is a responsibility and opportunity to lead the BJP through Maharashtra’s dynamic political phase with strength, unity, and vision. The Maharashtra BJP stands united behind Shri Ravindra Chavan and is confident that under his leadership, the party will continue to grow stronger, more inclusive, and even more connected to the aspirations of the people.
