Shenali D Waduge We are concerned about the consistent manner that successive UN High Commissioners for Human Rights have been involved or caved into pressure by a handful of bloc nations using the UNHRC to exert political pressure over nations. Not only have resolutions been intrusive, and beyond the Human Rights Councils advisory mandate as […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka’s victory over the LTTE in May 2009 was not just a military success — it was the liberation of an entire nation from one of the most ruthless terrorist organisations in the world. After nearly 30 years of suicide bombings, assassinations, ethnic cleansing, and child soldier recruitment, the country was […]

Shenali D Waduge As Western nations begin reversing aggressive LGBTQIA+ policies—especially those targeting children and youth—evidence reveals a wave of institutional regret, legal turmoil, and personal trauma. Countries that once pioneered youth gender transitions are now shutting down clinics, halting puberty blockers, and urging psychotherapy over irreversible treatments. Former advocates, medical experts, and detransitioners themselves […]

Shenali D Waduge A tribute to the world’s most misunderstood mass murderer and his liberation-through-terror campaign. They say greatness demands sacrifice—and Velupillai Prabakaran understood this better than most. He wasn’t content with speeches; he offered the world a blueprint: to build a homeland, first destroy the present; to claim justice, first silence every voice—especially your […]

Shenali D Waduge There was a time — not too long ago — when life was rooted in villages, families, faith, and community. People lived modestly, but with dignity. Homes were humble, yet filled with warmth. Families shared meals, elders were cared for, and children played under open skies, free from fear. Evenings were filled […]

Over the last two decades, the Western education system—particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union—has undergone a dramatic ideological shift. Under the banners of inclusivity,” diversity,” and progress,” gender ideology and LGBTQIA+ curricula were introduced into classrooms—often without parental knowledge or consent. What began as anti-bullying efforts evolved into sweeping programs that […]

Shenali Waduge India’s strategic colonization of Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province—centered around Trincomalee—is not a coincidence but the result of decades-long encirclement through war, diplomacy, economics, and cultural erasure. What began as military intervention in the 1980s has transformed into economic domination and spiritual displacement. Today, India holds de facto control over Sri Lanka’s most valuable […]

Shenali D Waduge Political Analyst On the 98th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese Embassy in Colombo delivered more than a message of military celebration — it reaffirmed a growing truth in Sri Lanka’s foreign policy: China is a friend who has stood with us — quietly, powerfully, and respectfully. […]

Shenali D Waduge Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith’s recent statement warning against legalizing same-sex marriage and LGBTQIA+ ideology in Sri Lanka is not merely a religious outcry — it is a national alarm echoed by the majority of the populace heard across party lines, faiths, and generations. The President’s response echoes the opposite, and demands a far […]

Shenali D Waduge Silent Agents, Sold Nation: How Sri Lanka’s Sovereignty Is Being Traded by Its OwnA deep dive into how political elites are enabling foreign capture of Sri Lanka’s national assets — one MoU, one silent betrayal at a time. Sovereignty is not always lost in battle. Sometimes, it is surrendered in silence — through […]

Shenali D Waduge In just five months, the JVP-NPP-led government under President Anura Kumara Dissanayake signed 35 agreements with India — the largest, fastest foreign policy shift in Sri Lanka’s post-independence history. What was promised as a new era of transparency, sovereignty, and people-first governance has instead raised urgent questions: This is not partnership. This is strategic entrapment. […]

Shenali D Waduge The name Eelam” was never Tamil in origin, nor did it denote a separate ethnic homeland. It is a historical term rooted in the identity of the Sinhalese — the island’s first and continuous inhabitants. While Part 1 exposed the linguistic and literary distortions behind the modern separatist claim, this second part […]

Shenali D Waduge Eelam — a word that triggered a 30-year conflict — must be urgently re-examined. The term Tamil Eelam” has come to symbolize demands for a separate Tamil state in Sri Lanka. But few stop to ask: What did Eelam” originally mean? Contrary to separatist claims, historical, linguistic, and literary evidence shows that […]

Shenali D Waduge The history of Sri Lanka is deeply intertwined with stories of its diverse peoples, among whom the Tamil community is one.

Shenali D Waduge This critique is based on a close examination of the official Sri Lanka Education Reforms document (2025–2029) and reveals a stark reality: history is not taught as a standalone, mandatory subject in Grades 1 to 5 under the new curriculum. Instead, historical content is superficially scattered and diluted within other subjects, leaving […]

Shenali Waduge On April 21, 2019 — Easter Sunday — Sri Lanka suffered its deadliest terror attack since the defeat of the LTTE. Coordinated suicide bombings by the National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ), an ISIS-inspired Islamist group, claimed 269 lives and injured over 500 at churches and luxury hotels nationwide. But the greatest guilt lies not […]

Shenali Waduge The real crisis in Sri Lanka is not just economic — it’s Moral and Spiritual. Sri Lanka’s collapse runs deeper: a moral and spiritual decay that has eroded the soul of the nation. This decay didn’t begin with inflation or debt. It began the day we abandoned our values, our identity, and our […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka is in urgent need of a moral, spiritual, and cultural renaissance.The crisis in our education system is not merely academic — it is ethical, mental, and civilizational. The Buddha taught that true education must train the mind, purify conduct, and lead to wise, compassionate action. In contrast, modern education — severed from values […]

Shenali D Waduge In 2023, as Sri Lanka was reeling from its worst economic crisis in decades, unelected President Ranil Wickremesinghe agreed to a $3 billion IMF bailout. But hidden inside the loan terms was a Trojan Horse — the demand to make the Central Bank of Sri Lanka independent” from government and parliamentary oversight. What followed was the Central Bank of […]

Shenali D Waduge Who are the Malabars”? Who coined the term, and when was it first used? What is its connection to Thesawalamai law — and did this law exist before these so-called Malabars arrived in Sri Lanka? Why are 90% of Tamils excluded from a law that is often portrayed as their own? Most importantly: Do even Tamils […]

Shenali D Waduge Since her appointment, U.S. Ambassador Julie Chung has emerged as a highly controversial figure in Sri Lanka—not because of silence, but due to outspoken ideological and political activism going far beyond that of her predecessors.

Shenali D Waduge The LGBTQIA+ ideology is not a natural or moral evolution — it is a Western-exported trend, heavily promoted by corporate agendas & hired media, foreign-funded activist networks, and Big Pharma & used by governments as a new geopolitical tool to collapse & weaken an enemy nation’s society. The objective is to confuse society and undermine national […]

Shenali D Waduge We never thought a pen could undo what our war heroes achieved in May 2009. Yet, since December 2024, secret MoUs signed between President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have begun dismantling Sri Lanka’s territorial and constitutional sovereignty—not with tanks, but through contracts. These agreements encroach upon lands […]

Shenali D Waduge Between December 2024 and May 2025, a pen — not a gun — redrew Sri Lanka’s future. A series of bilateral pacts and MoUs signed between President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are systematically converting Sri Lanka into a de facto Indian strategic satellite. What follows is not […]

Shenali D Waduge Who is Bill Gates, and why should Sri Lanka be concerned about his philanthropy”? Gates, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), disburses billions under the banner of aid. But this is philanthrocapitalism—a model where charitable funding yields strategic influence. His private firm, Cascade Investment, grows his wealth while embedding his influence in public health, agriculture, […]
