Shenali D Waduge When a government official puts pen to paper on official letterhead, it is no small matter. Words have meaning. Subject headings have meaning. Endorsements have meaning. A signed letter cannot be swept aside with excuses on camera. On 9 September 2025, Chairman of the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), Buddhika Hewawasam, issued an […]

Shenali Waduge This Bill is not simply about banning corporal punishment — it is about social engineering.  By stripping away parental and teacher authority, it manufactures a generation of children who are: Big Picture Warning:This Bill is not about child protection. It is about child exploitation — creating a narcissistic, unruly generation that can be turned against its own […]

Shenali D Waduge They have turned the tables on the mighty UN itself. The United Nations Human Rights Council was created to uphold the dignity of victims and to protect human rights worldwide. Yet, the silence of Switzerland as host state, and the UN’s indifference to the glorification of the LTTE on its very doorstep, […]

Shenali D Waduge It cannot be emphasized enough for people to know not only their national past, but also global history. Only then can they understand current developments and visualize the future. It is precisely the failure to confront history and its bitter truths that allows social media platforms and their hired influencers to mislead societies toward […]

Shenali D Waduge There is an overwhelming amount of information on social media about Israel and Palestine—stories, theories, and opinions that often confuse rather than clarify. Many keyboard campaigners spreading these narratives do not even know where Israel, Palestine, or the Gaza Strip is on a map—and some may struggle to locate their own countries. […]

Shenali D Waduge Buddhism entered the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent (today’s Pakistan) around the 3rd century BCE through Emperor Ashoka’s patronage after the Kalinga War with Gandhara (present-day Peshawar Valley and Taxila region) and Sindhu (Sindh) becoming major centers of Buddhist culture that prevailed for over 1200 years running parallel to Afghanistan’s Buddhist era. Ancient Buddhist […]

Shenali D Waduge Afghanistan is today remembered for suffering, oppression, war, militancy, opium, and foreign occupation. Yet for over 1,200 years Afghanistan was a center of Buddhism, known for its monasteries, universities, art, and trade. Few realize that the same land which today exports narcotics, terrorists and violence once produced statues of the Buddha, manuscripts […]

Shenali D Waduge The Government of Sri Lanka’s recent announcement on granting voting rights to expats is a gamble with sovereignty. Handing the ballot to millions who neither live under Sri Lanka’s laws, nor share its daily burdens, nor pay its taxes, opens the door to forces that are already destabilizing the State from abroad. […]

Shenali D Waduge The Yahapalana government, installed in 2015 after a US–India regime-change operation to remove Mahinda Rajapaksa, promised “good governance,” anti-corruption, and democracy. Instead, it systematically dismantled Sri Lanka’s post-war gains. Between 2015 and 2019, it undermined sovereignty, destabilized the economy, weakened national security, and enabled unprecedented foreign interference. This exposé consolidates the failures, […]

Shenali D Waduge There is no perfect template for governance, yet when comparing the two great powers of our time, the contrast is undeniable. One — the United States — has long boasted of liberalism, freedoms, and human rights, presenting itself as the world’s moral compass. The other — China — has quietly implemented a […]

Shenali D Waduge Since 2009, the UNHRC has overstepped its mandate, pushing demands that strip Sri Lanka of sovereignty — imposing foreign-run courts, forcing constitutional changes, and erasing LTTE crimes. These are political agendas, not human rights. Sri Lanka has also faced externally funded regime change. Nepal shows where this path leads: elected rule replaced […]

Shenali D Waduge Nepal’s unrest has exposed the mask of youthful heroism. Each day, footage exposes looting, vandalism, and arson. The very youth who claim to rally for anti-corruption” cannot even control the chaos they unleash. Yet, they stand on podiums declaring themselves champions of the people, blind to the truth that their own hands […]

Shenali D Waduge Across Europe (the Colored Revolutions), the Arab world (Arab Spring), and parts of Asia (the Asian Spring”), movements that appeared as spontaneous youth uprisings often bore the fingerprints of external intervention and local opportunism. Genuine grievances existed, but they were amplified and redirected to produce political outcomes that benefited external powers and […]

 Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka has rarely been treated as a sovereign nation in international geopolitics. Sri Lanka had very few leaders able to read geopolitical shifts well enough to spin it to Sri Lanka’s advantage. Sri Lanka has been positioned as a pawn on the chessboard of great powers. Today, we see another dimension unfold. […]

Shenali D Waduge The demand for full implementation of Sri Lanka’s 13th Amendment has once again surfaced — but it is important for India to pause and examine who is really making this demand, and why. This demand does not come from India or even Sri Lankan Tamils on the ground — it is being pushed […]

Shenali D Waduge Why Sri Lanka Should Not Ratify the ICC 1. Sovereignty at Risk ·      External ICC jurisdiction would override Sri Lanka’s Constitution, domestic courts, and national security decisions. ·      Even functioning national mechanisms would be sidelined, undermining judicial independence. 2. Politically Motivated Targeting ·      ICC disproportionately targets smaller or weaker states while ignoring powerful nations. ·      Sri […]

Shenali D Waduge The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) was established in 2006 (GA Resolution 60/251) with noble intentions: to promote universality, impartiality, and cooperation protecting human rights. Yet in practice within less than 2 decades, the Council has become a political arena where blocs of states advance strategic interests, discipline weaker nations, and […]

Shenali D Waduge The OHCHR Report A/HRC/60/21 is illegitimate, selective, and legally void. For 30 years of LTTE terror — assassinations, suicide bombings, ethnic cleansing — the UNHRC and its High Commissioners remained silent. Only when terrorism was militarily defeated in May 2009 did Geneva suddenly awaken, not to commend Sri Lanka for restoring peace, but […]

Shenali D Waduge Although UNHRC resolutions are non-binding, since 2009 the Council has effectively acted as a mouthpiece formalizing overseas LTTE lobbyist demands into intrusive resolutions. A Council that failed to act against LTTE over 30 years of terror has, since 2009, issued 11 resolutions against Sri Lanka—outside its original mandate and without UNGA or […]

Shenali D Waduge Political Analyst May 2009 – 30-year terrorist conflict ends ·      Unlike 9/11, a single incident resulting in immediate bombing & occupation of several nations, Sri Lanka’s decision to military deal with LTTE was taken after failure of internationally promoted peace talks, cease fires, negotiations & when LTTE denied water to 40,000 farmers in the […]

Shenali D Waduge Switzerland, long celebrated for neutrality, serenity, and banking secrecy, has also quietly served as a discreet hub for global capital, both legitimate and controversial and the safe haven of dictators’ wealth. Street riots or public unrest has never been linked with Switzerland. Yet, the recent killing of a 17-year-old migrant during a police […]
