I’ve attended, lectured, and presented papers at more than seventy conferences during the last thirty years. During this period, I interacted with and eventually published papers from some of the greatest scholars in the world, including Michael Geyer, Walter Skya, Scott Atran, Omer Bartov, Kelly Denton-Borhaug, Michael Vlahos, Stephen Fritz, Roger Griffen, Jeffrey Herf, Nancy Kobrin, Mark Levene, Jordan Peterson, Robert Proctor and James Tyner.
You’ve read papers and articles by many of these great scholars on the Foundation for the Study of Political Pathology website. You may be familiar with many of the scholars mentioned above.

These comments are ‘buried’ within the several responses to an article I placed in my site in my site in 2021: viz, https://thuppahis.com/2021/11/19/anglo-ceylonese-a-missing-dimension-in-british-ceylon/#comment-152788
The comments are by friends: one who had identified himself as “Eurasian” when we met for the first time [a rare self-appellation];** and a longstanding pal from Pera-Uni days, Earlson Forbes, who expressed shock more recently in Sydney when he learnt that I was not Burgher [assumed because of my name].***
** Referring here to Richard Simon …. *** Just prior to an Event in Sydney where I was billed as one speaker on a topic bearing on Ethnicity.

Mostafa Rachwani, Carla Jaeger and Christopher Harris: ‘Blessed’ to be Australian: Survivor of Nepalese floods speaks out,”
Cara Severino, an Australian thought to have been missing in the Nepalese floods, has spoken for the first time since her rescue, thanking embassy officials and the crew she had been hiking with when the disaster struck. The 26-year-old had been listed as missing prior to making contact with her parents on Friday morning. Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong confirmed on Saturday night that Severino has since been located by consular officials in Nepal.
In a statement released alongside comments from Wong, Severino said she felt “blessed” to be Australian. “I’m so grateful for the crew we formed on that first day when we entered the national park on the tractor. Sudha, Lucas, Samir and Saugat. It’s thanks to these amazing people I got out safely,” she said. “I feel for the families of those still missing – I know how much my family and friends went through. Blessed to be from Australia and have the embassy and Australian government giving so much support.”
[Minister Penny] Wong said Australian consular officials maintained regular contact with Severino on Saturday and were able to eventually identify her location and drive out to meet her from Kathmandu. “They are now transporting her to a safe location and will continue to check on her welfare and provide assistance to her and her family as needed,” Wong said. “While this is a welcome development, there remain grave concerns for the other Australians who are still unaccounted for, given the tremendous scale of the flooding and its impact.”

Prof. Chandre Dharmawardana,
The sixth volume of the Mahavamsa, covering the period 1978-2010 has been rendered into Tamil by N. Saravanan, a well-known Tamil journalist and activist based in Norway. The first three volumes of the Mahavamsa (including the Culavamsa) are now a part of the UNESCO world heritage. They were the work of individual scholar monks, whereas the modern volumes (V to VI) were produced through state-sponsored collective efforts [1].

I have limited knowledge about the administrative forces upholding SL crccket today and do not even know WHO constitute the Selection Committee. From my distant post in Adelaide Australia I have watched some of the Test cricket . It has been a pleasure to see the manner in which Sonal Dinusha batted against a formidable Indian bowling attack. He is, clearly, a sturdy force and it remains to be seen how he fares on foreign pitches.
