Winds of Change

Winds of Change examines geopolitical tensions across South and Southeast Asia, featuring President Gotabhaya Rajapakse's first public account blaming the CIA and USA for circumstances surrounding his 2022 departure from Sri Lanka during the Aragalaya uprising. The book explores the roles of major powers—India, China, and the United States—in regional upheaval, including pressures on Sri Lankan infrastructure projects like Hambantota Port and the Colombo Port initiative, as well as parallel political shifts in Bangladesh and Nepal. Written by an international geopolitics analyst and Executive Director of the South Asia Foresight Network, this work traces the interconnected forces shaping contemporary South Asian politics.
