Sinhala translation of ‘The India Way’ presented to Dr. S. Jaishankar
The Pathfinder Foundation on Friday (04th October) presented the Sinhala translation of Dr. S. Jaishankar’s seminal work, The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World, to the visiting Indian External Affairs Minister during a ceremony in Colombo.
The presentation was attended by Milinda Moragoda, Founder of Pathfinder Foundation, Santhosh Jha, High Commissioner of India in Sri Lanka, Chairman PF, Bernard Goonetilleke, and Consultant (Communications) PF Gamini Sarath Godakanda. The translation, undertaken by Ajith Perakum Jayasinghe, is part of the Foundation’s broader initiative to make significant global policy discussions accessible to the Sri Lankan audience, thereby promoting a deeper understanding of India’s strategic perspectives.
First published by Harper Collins Publishers India Private Limited, The India Way offers an in-depth analysis of the geopolitical shifts triggered by the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Jaishankar, a seasoned diplomat and India’s External Affairs Minister draws from India’s rich civilisational history to articulate how the country is navigating itself as a rising global power in an increasingly complex and unpredictable world.
The Pathfinder Foundation secured the rights to translate and distribute the Sinhala edition, which will be made available to educational institutions free of charge. This initiative marks a step forward in fostering intellectual exchanges between India and Sri Lanka, reflecting the growing partnership between the two nations.
The presentation of the translation is seen as a bridge, encouraging Sri Lankan readers to engage with India’s evolving role on the global stage and further strengthening ties between the neighbouring countries at a crucial time in their diplomatic relations.

The Governor of the of Gujarat, Acharya Devvrat, along with the Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat, Harsh Sanghvi, met with Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya on Thursdy [February 05] at the Parliamentary Complex to discuss the arrangements related to the exposition of the Devnimori Sacred Relics of Lord Buddha, which have been brought to Sri Lanka under the patronage of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Government of India.
These sacred relics of Lord Buddha were discovered during archaeological excavations conducted in the 1960s at the historic Devnimori site in Gujarat, the home state of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Until now, these relics had never been taken outside India. As a result of discussions held between President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Sri Lanka, the people of Sri Lanka have been granted this rare opportunity to venerate these sacred relics.
The exposition of the relics is being held for a period of seven days, from February 05 to February 11, at the Gangaramaya Temple in Hunupitiya, Colombo. Discussions were held between both parties regarding the arrangements related to this event.
The discussion was attended by Samar Nanda, Joint Secretary of the Indian Ministry of Culture; Dr. Satyanjal Pandey, Acting High Commissioner of India in Sri Lanka; Abhijit Halder, Director General of the International Buddhist Confederation; along with several others.
