Roshni Sengupta The Western narrative on Hindus and episodes of mass violence affecting Hindu communities globally has often been marked by selective visibility, conceptual ambiguity, and ideological discomfort with recognising Hindus as victims of genocide or ethnic cleansing. While Western media, academia, and human-rights institutions readily deploy the language of genocide for atrocities against certain […]

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir When a government violates democratic principles, large-scale peaceful demonstrations can send a strong message. It’s a way for people to collectively demonstrate their commitment to democratic values and advocate for change without resorting to violence.

Dilrook Kannangara The world’s oldest ideology-led regime has beaten Gen Z protests when far more flexible and democratic regimes have collapsed.

by Shenali Waduge · 14th January 2026 Bottom line Planned Parenthood and IPPF are not educating our children. They are: CSE is a Trojan horse for foreign agendas — it is a direct threat to Sri Lankan children, families, society AND NATIONAL SECURITY. THIS IS WHY COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION MUST BE REJECTED AS PART OF EDUCATIONAL REFORMS FOR ALL […]
