I’m Mathi Kumarathurai – a curious mind who loves to challenge established narratives and dive into the stories we often take for granted. Originally from Sri Lanka, I have lived in Denmark since 1986. My experiences with war, politics, and power struggles have given me a different perspective on the world, which I share here on my blog.
By day, I work as a project manager at Indexed, where I deal with IT and web development. But when I’m not working, I spend my time playing badminton, engaging in community work, traveling, exploring the world, and meeting new people – especially with my children.
We love discovering new places, trying exciting food, and learning about different cultures. It gives both them and me a deeper understanding of how people live across the world.
And I do enjoy Gin & Beer.
What do I write about?
On mathi.dk, you’ll find my thoughts and analyses on politics, society, technology, and international relations. My key focus areas include:
• How the West shapes foreign policy – and what it means for the rest of the world.
• How the media frames stories, and what we’re not being told.
• The power struggles between the U.S., China, Russia, and the EU.
• The development of technology and its impact on all of us.
• Historical parallels that help us understand the present.
I don’t write to take sides, but to foster a more nuanced debate and ask the questions that are often overlooked.
Why do I write?
I believe in critical thinking and open debate. Political decisions, wars, and economic strategies are often presented as if there’s only one truth – but that’s not how the world works. I want to make room for different perspectives and highlight the questions that don’t always get attention in mainstream media.
A little more about me
I have a strong interest in politics, geopolitics, and technology and closely follow global developments. My background as a refugee from Sri Lanka has given me deep insight into how major powers influence smaller nations – and how ordinary people often pay the price for the big political games.
