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. Her actions, including hoisting banned Pride flags, meeting political activists, funding media and NGOs to push Western gender narratives, and tattooing […]

Shenali D Waduge In July 2025, Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya met with Dr. Chris Elias, the Global Development Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to discuss child and maternal nutrition, agriculture, and digital education. The Foundation offered assistance for mid-day school meals, digital transformation, and education reform. On the surface, this […]

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, […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka’s Central Province has been a symbol of colonial exploitation and post-independence neglect—home to thousands of Indian-origin Tamils brought under British imperial labor schemes. Today, the same region has transformed into a geopolitical battleground—for soft power occupation, ethnic patronage, and foreign-state engineering. India is now assuming role of political patron & cultural guardian over […]

Shenali D Waduge Both political and terrorist separatism in Sri Lanka have toyed with the claim to a separate Tamil homeland. However, before examining either, it is critical to return to the historical roots of the Tamil presence on the island to determine whether such a homeland or Tamil kingdom ever existed independently. When the […]

Shenali D Waduge The Northern Province, comprises Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Mannar, and Vavuniya. India is heavily influencing Northern society in multiple ways. Many of these post-war partnerships are turning into regional patron asserting its control over socio-political, economic, cultural landscape of the Sri Lankan Tamils in North Sri Lanka. Northern Province (Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Mannar, […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka’s most commercially and politically vital hub is heavily influenced by India. From strategic ports and financial lifelines to digital identity, soft power, and trade deals, the Western Province is ground zero for India’s hybrid dominance — combining hard infrastructure control, financial leverage, digital entanglement, soft power, and embedded Indian-origin family networks. India exerts influence in […]

Shenali D Waduge The following summarizes how successive UN High Commissioners for Human Rights have, through their actions and demands, overstepped their mandates, ignored their oath to the UN Charter and violated international law and Sri Lanka’s sovereignty. The UNHRC/OHCHR have repeatedly intervened in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs without Security Council authorization or Sri Lanka’s […]

Shenali D Waduge The Govt of Sri Lanka is elected to uphold the sovereignty & territorial integrity of Sri Lanka. Thus, the Govt of Sri Lanka is bound to uphold national sovereignty against the current beyond mandate violations by the UNHRC & OHCHR.

Shenali D Waduge The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has long been accused of double standards, politicization, and selective justice. The UNHRC Head is currently in Sri Lanka on a 3 day visit with a tight schedule. But when that schedule fits in traveling to the North by helicopter to lay flowers for dead LTTE […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka’s conflict ended in May 2009. The UN that silently watched 30 years of LTTE terror & mayhem did little to prevent civilian killings. Yet when Sri Lankan Government authorized counter-terrorism action against LTTE & eventually LTTE was eliminated, the UN jumps into action calling for accountability! Not stopping there, 3 […]

Shenali D Waduge The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk is currently in Sri Lanka inspite of the devastation taking place in Israel, Iran & Gaza.

Shenali D Waduge Citizen of Sri Lanka To: As a concerned citizen of Sri Lanka, I would like to question the continued use and legitimization of the Darusman Report”—a document commissioned unilaterally by then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 22 June 2010, without any mandate from the Security Council, General Assembly, Human Rights Council, or OHCHR. […]

Shenali D Waduge What can never be overlooked is the fact that Buddhist jurisprudence governed Sri Lanka for over 2600 years & formed the moral, legal & cultural foundation of the society & civilization. This was recognized & acknowledged in clause 5 of the 1815 Kandyan Convention guaranteeing continuation of Buddhism & its traditions. That […]

Shenali D Waduge We notice an alarming pattern directed at sovereign nations who are being pressured both directly & indirectly to amend long-standing legal, moral & social frameworks to accommodate liberal ideologies & redefine gender, marriage, family that directly opposes & conflicts with their constitution, culture, religion & societal foundations. These demands are not grounded […]

Shenali D Waduge The Moment that Changed a Nation There comes a moment in every nation’s history when destiny demands a decision. In Sri Lanka, that moment came in 2006. For three decades, the country had endured unimaginable suffering under the LTTE’s reign of terror — a group that pioneered the suicide vest, abducted children for war, assassinated […]

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka is a nation proud of its rich culture, deep religious traditions, and warm hospitality. Tourists from around the world come here to experience our heritage, natural beauty, and vibrant society. Yet, with this privilege comes responsibility — every visitor must respect and abide by Sri Lanka’s laws, customs, and visa […]

Shenali D Waduge A Dangerous Precedent by UNSG Ban Ki-moon The UN’s actions against Sri Lanka post-2009 remain unprecedented in UN history. Never before has the Secretary-General appointed a Panel of Experts (PoE) to investigate a concluded internal conflict—especially after a recognized terrorist group was defeated. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s decision to appoint such a panel in 2010, bypassing both […]

Shenali D Waduge Between 2006 and 2009, Sri Lanka carried out a decisive military campaign to defeat the LTTE—one of the world’s most lethal terrorist organizations.

Shenali D Waduge In 2023, a deceptively packaged proposal was tabled to amend Section 365 and fully repeal Section 365A of Sri Lanka’s Penal Code — laws that currently criminalize unnatural sexual acts and gross indecency. LGBTQIA+ lobbyists and their foreign-funded backers claimed these were colonial relics” and tools of discrimination.” This is an outright falsehood. A legal Trojan Horse. A […]

Shenali D Waduge While Sri Lanka waged its final campaign to eliminate the LTTE terrorist organization between 2006 and 2009, the United Nations and UNHRC once again failed in their duty to uphold international law, protect civilians, or address terrorism impartially.
