Though the so-called national media did not give it due coverage, the five-day Pothuvil-to-Polikandy multi-ethnic march of the Tamil-speaking people drew a decent crowd, recently. Equally important, it has quietly passed on the mantle of core Tamil politics from the well-entrenched older generation to the relatively younger ones, without anyone asking for it and anyone giving it.

When the United Kingdom (UK) releases the highly anticipated integrated review of its foreign, defence, security and development policy in March, it will mark the first formal iteration of the UK’s Indo-Pacific strategy.
