Dear Reader,

South Asia is a region of immense complexity, where political manoeuvres, economic crises and democratic aspirations are colliding repeatedly. At Scroll, we believe in providing commentary that goes beyond the headlines to explain the forces shaping our neighbourhood.

Just in the past week, our incisive articles have offered vital context on key regional developments. Our analysis from Bangladesh examined how the International Crimes Tribunal is being used by the current government to settle political scores, not just pursue justice.

We then turned to Nepal, where an emerging Gen Z revolt for democratic restoration is unfolding, with our piece drawing parallels to Sri Lanka’s recent history.

Finally, regarding Sri Lanka, we detailed how the arrest of a former president has brought to the forefront the deep-seated frustrations with post-crisis austerity measures that continue to burden the populace.

Articles like these, which connect the dots, are crucial for true understanding. Your membership is what makes this work possible. Join Scroll today and support our journalism that truly illuminates the region. Become a member now!
