Event Description

India’s southern neighbour is in turmoil. What began as an economic crisis has rapidly grown into a mass movement for the resignation of the President Gotabaya Rajapakse and his brother, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse. Shortages of cooking gas, petrol and diesel, crippling power cuts and skyrocketing prices of staples such as rice and pulses, have brought people out on the streets for weeks on end. With no immediate end to the crisis in sight, and with conditions worsening by the day, the demand for political reforms are also growing louder. What does the future hold for Sri Lanka, and what lessons can India learn from Sri Lanka’s crisis?
