British Tamil actress Charithra Chandran was at the Oscars last night.
And on the red carpet, she wore a pin calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanding an end to the killings there.
Honestly, it’s refreshing to see Tamils use their platforms - including on the biggest stages in the world - in this way.
Previously, the actress has spoke about how she would one day like to make a film on the genocide of Tamils. “It’s something obviously near and dear to my heart because it’s my community,” she said.
We need more like this.

Authorities urge the public not to panic and avoid unnecessary rush at filling stations.
I thought the licensed Ferrari driver knew the law & everything but in actual its not the case. Now its apparent to any sane person @RW_SRILANKA was only interested in power & not to do good for the country

"Sri Lanka has no other choice but to go back to borrowing from international capital market in 2027" - Talal Rafi (Ada Derana news)
Though this is not a long term solution, but we have little choice in the short term. Long term solution is to increase exports and reduce borrowing costs. Sri Lanka needs a long term strategy to eventually come out of debt.
Sri Lanka is set to partner with AI Singapore to advance AI research, education, and innovation through a new MoU approved by Cabinet.

Step 1: Vote for idiots
Step 2: Become a migrant worker, pay no taxes nor deal with the consequences
Step 3: Come back for a boozy holiday to vote for more idiots
Ali Sabry(@alisabrypc) and Talal Rafi(@talalrafi7), two very smart people, have been saying what I’ve been saying for years: Sri Lanka must integrate with the Indian economy. Big league.
India is right next door — a huge, booming economy, 1.4 billion people, tremendous opportunities. If we don’t get smart and work with India, we’re going to lose. Big time.
I’ve always been a strong supporter of India–Sri Lanka economic integration. Always. That’s how you build prosperity, that’s how you win. But what do we have? We’ve got the NPP/JVP, SLPP, SLFP — all the same old LEFTIST clowns — corrupting people’s minds with their Anti-Indian, Anti-FTA, protectionist, import-substitution nonsense. Total disaster.
These idiots are killing our potential. They’re keeping the country poor while the rest of the world is getting rich.
What we need & we need it fast — is a STRONG + BOLD political movement. People who aren’t afraid to tell the truth, educate the people, and fight for integration with India, China, ASEAN — everybody!
We can’t let stupid, small-minded politicians hold us back anymore. It’s time to think big. Open up the economy. Win again!
