There is already a joke on the streets of Beijing that Trump could end up making China great in pursuing his promise to “Make America Great Again”. In Southasia, certainly, that could well become the case. Amantha writes himalmag.com/politics/unite…

The 2024 public protests in #Bangladesh took a heavy toll on the media community, at least 5 media professionals were killed. A story that should not be forgotten and ignored. - DartAsiaPacific - facebook.com/amantha.perera…

I am thrilled to share that on May 19 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, which explains the continuation and proliferation of Tamil nationalist practices, despite the absence of the LTTE and in the presence of a repressive Sri Lankan state.
