Ahead of protests planned by @IUSFSL tomorrow I urge #SriLanka authorities to respect the right to p assembly. Law enforcement has an obligation to protect p protestors & must create a safe & enabling envir. for all to express their views. I'll be following the situation closely.

A lot of #Aragalaya 'activists' & 🇱🇰 Tamil diaspora members & Tamil Nadu Tamils have a lot in common. One such thing is their half-baked understanding of e ethnic issue.

For 50 years, a global coalition spanning Native Americans to Australian Aboriginals has been working to undo the colonial-era conquests of their nations

I reported on their growing gains, which are suddenly coming much further than many realize— https://t.co/qccKUv64a4

So Canadian Deepa Mehta's film Funny Boy cannot compete in international feature because it's in English & American filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung's Minari cannot compete as Best Film because it's in Korean. THIS IS HOW THE SAME OLD WHITE GUYS GET PROMOTED & REMAIN THE MAIN EVENT. BS.

Only people who’ve never experienced actual violence, are ignorant & arrogant enough to call words ‘violence’.

FUNNY BOY follows Arjie, a young man grappling with his own sexuality amidst the social turmoil of Sri Lanka in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite being ostracized and called “funny” for dressing up like a bride, Arjie finds moments of radical queer joy.

Now on Netflix.

@iqlikmovies “Prabhas is one of the most masculine actors in the Indian film industry...”, FYI ‘homosexual’ men come in all types. Some are very masculine & others not. Catch up to the 21st century! #funnyboythefilm

Trauma begets trauma. Systematic discrimination & marginalisation leads to radicalization & violence. We saw this in a class struggle that led to 2 youth insurrections, in the Tamil struggle that led to 26 years of civil war. Please tell me why we never learn, #SriLanka.

[dharisha @tingilye]

It's the first time in my lifetime that I've watched the Muslim community practice civil disobedience at this scale. I'm areligious but understand the strength of this pain, just like I knew on some level that the flames engulfing Dharga Town & Digana had the power to burn us all

[dharisha @tingilye]

The above is what Sri Lanka Muslim Council VP Hilmy Ahmed told me, when I asked him why Muslims were so resistant to the idea of cremation. It was as I heard his words that I realised the pain this mandatory cremation policy was causing the Muslim community. #StopForcedCremations

[dharisha @tingilye]

"Almost from birth Muslims are taught that the fires of hell will consume the sinner. Devout Muslims believe they will be resurrected in full form when they meet their God. Act of cremation for devout Muslims, is like watching remains of a family member being cast into hellfire"

[dharisha @tingilye]

Never forget, the mastermind of Easter Sunday bombings, radical preacher Zaharan Hashim strategically moved to Aluthgama & Kandy not long after the pogroms. Reporting has consistently revealed that the violence had provided fertile ground to sow the seeds of radicalisation
