Two young Sri Lankans. One proud nation. Our reigning Miss Sri Lanka, dazzling on the global stage of Miss World, and our own Yevan, tearing through the international Formula racing circuits, both have taken the world by storm, putting Sri Lanka back in the spotlight for all the

Free Education vs. Freedom to Educate: Time for Sri Lanka to Move Forward, Not Backward For over seven decades, Sri Lanka has proudly upheld the principle of free education. It is a cornerstone of our social fabric, an ideal that has empowered generations, fostered upward

It is without doubt the case that our world is more politically unstable than at any time in my memory. “Large numbers of people feel left behind both economically and socially. As a result, they are turning to populist, or at least popular,politicians who have limited

Jaffna is rising — not with skyscrapers, but with empowered youth. 🇱🇰 For 13 years, the Yarl Geek Challenge has been volunteer-run, bridging Sri Lanka’s diaspora & local youth to drive innovation and hope. Watch how a war-torn region is being rebuilt — from the ground up.👇 🎥

It’s both amusing and mildly tragic to watch a few self-absorbed voices unravel on X, consumed by envy over the attention Anudhi has rightfully earned representing Sri Lanka at Miss World. Instead of celebrating her elegance on the world stage, they’ve chosen to lash out,

Change of policy is most welcome. There’s no necessity to change the law. All that is required is a policy directive that a person who returns under the ‘voluntary repatriation scheme’ of the UNHCR will not be arrested or prosecuted but is welcomed warmly! dailymirror.lk/breaking-news/…

A Tribute to Mahinda Siriwardena, Who Helped Steady the Ship On the 4th of April 2022, I was asked by then President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to take over the Ministry of Finance. The country was on the edge of economic collapse. Foreign reserves had dried up. Inflation was soaring.

Every Sri Lankan has the right to return home. If someone has cleared standard security protocols and poses no threat, their return must not only be permitted, but welcomed. We cannot, on the one hand, say there is no justification for Sri Lankans to continue seeking refugee

Hard Truths and Harder Decisions Pragmatism over Populism Sri Lanka has suffered for far too long under the weight of short-sighted, populist policies aimed at appeasing political constituencies rather than addressing national priorities. The result of such governance is all too

Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right Let’s Learn to Support the State Even While Opposing the Government One of the biggest mistakes we as Sri Lankans have made and continue to make is failing to understand the fundamental difference between the state and the government. The state

Deeply saddened by the tragic Air India incident and the heartbreaking loss of young medical students. Thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. May those who passed find eternal peace, and may their loved ones find strength and comfort in this hour of

The post of Secretary to the Treasury is one of the most critical appointments in a recovering economy like ours. It demands not only sound technical expertise in macroeconomic management but also a deep understanding of how international financial institutions operate, and

“You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured
