Who were the Väddas? What happened to them? In #SriLanka there were no “indigenous peoples”, no “aborigines”, no “wild men” and “tribes” of Western imagination argues Gananath Obeyesekere, reviewed by RS Perinbanayagam.

Politicians responsible for causing #malnutrition in #SriLanka have commenced acting a #new drama. A new political party has been established. The man who accused Dr. Shafi is a party VC - @ShanakiyanR #Colombo #SLnews #SriLankaEconomicCrisis

Ameena, how you do things in SL is still a mystery. This is a book not just for fans of Ibn Battuta (who came to Maldives, married 5 times, and had a child) but also for fans of Sri Lanka. Now is surely the best time to read it.

'The Rajapaksas are afraid that if they go, they’ll be very vulnerable both in and outside #SriLanka,' @PereraJehanpc tells @Kai_Schultz 'They face human rights violations, accusations of war crimes, and corruption charges' bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I wish when celebrities/scholars apologize for supporting the Rajapaksas, they would tell us WHY they are sorry. Is it because (1) they feel responsible for the economic crisis (2)they now realize racism is wrong (3) they no longer benefit from being on team Rajapaksas. #SriLanka
