Voices rise, flames burn, and truth unfolds in Nepal. As protests intensify and leader resigns, social media remains the shield and spotlight. Protecting the right to express online is protecting democracy.

Today marks 20 years since the passing of Lakshman Kadirgamar, one of Sri Lanka’s greatest statesmen. Reading his biography has been a journey of learning and inspiration, a reminder of his excellence, vision, and unwavering service to our nation.

Starlink in Sri Lanka! Unlimited internet at last! Great for the country, whatever govt made this happen. Ironic same leaders called @elonmusk an 'economic hitman' but now welcome him. Happy they allowed it! Progress wins!
