En ce Jour commémoratif du génocide des Tamouls, nous pensons aux dizaines de milliers de civils tués durant la guerre civile au Sri Lanka et aux survivants, aux familles et aux communautés qui ont tant souffert, y compris de nombreux membres de la diaspora tamoule au Canada.

Tilly’s Beach Hotel owned by a Tamil was burned down by Sinhalese mobs during 1983 Anti-Tamil pogrom (Black July).
The ruins of the building still stand by Mount Lavinia beach as a memorial to one of the most tragic injustices against Tamils in Sri Lanka.

I flipped the map on purpose.

It shakes up one's perspective to have south be up, and the influence of the Cholas and Tamil traders, respectively, at this time makes a lot more sense from this point of view. #history #India #chola #maps

Mathematician Terence Tao admitted that GPT-5.2 found a mistake in his work:

"ah, gpt (gpt5.2) was right about a fatal sign error in my small-primes step, so i checked Hildebrand and used his log-concavity trick for the Dickman function"

tao recently said that AI is no longer just hype when it comes to mathematical discovery

[PEARL Action @PEARL_Action]

PEARL has released a new report and accompanying case study examining the Sri Lankan state’s ongoing project of Sinhalization in the North-East, as well as a detailed focus on land dispossession and violence against Tamil dairy farmers in Mayilaththamadu–Madhavanai.

The report forms part of PEARL’s Sinhalization series and builds on its 2022 publication, State-Sponsored Sinhalization in the North-East. It documents how Sinhalization operates as a form of ethno-national conquest, historically intertwined with ethnic cleansing and used by successive governments to obstruct Tamil demands for autonomy and self-rule.

Contrary to official narratives that frame these practices as “development,” PEARL’s analysis demonstrates that Sinhalization functions as an anti-development project. It actively destroys existing economic systems, prevents the emergence of new ones, and entrenches poverty in Tamil-speaking regions. The report finds that state-led irrigation, settlement, and land redistribution schemes associated with Sinhalization have failed to generate economic returns, and wasted public resources. The accompanying case study on Mayilaththamadu–Madhavanai illustrates these dynamics on the ground.

PEARL urges the international community, including UN member states, to recognize Sinhalization as a systematic state policy, take urgent action to halt state-sponsored land grabs, advance meaningful international accountability mechanisms in the face of repeated domestic failures, and support Tamil calls for self-determination.
