&lt;h2 id="writing-for-the-nation-not-for-a-person">Writing for the nation, not for a person&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>&lt;strong>Sinhabahu&lt;/strong> is an independent platform for clear thinking about Sri Lanka — its history, its security, its place among nations, and the decisions that will shape its future.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This is not a platform built around any person, party, or ideology. It is built around the nation. The writing here will praise where praise is due and criticise where criticism is necessary, regardless of who holds power.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
