Aragalaya makes it to TIME’s Top 100 photos of 2022

Sri Lanka’s proactive and peaceful people’s revolution Aragalaya between March and July of this year had made it to the influential TIME magazine’s Top 100 photos of 2022.

TIME picked a general view of the vandalised office of the Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, inside his official residence in Colombo on 15 July.

Magazine said: “It’s different this time. That was the sentiment humming in the background, and sometimes roaring quite loudly, throughout 2022….” It said the 100 images, an unranked selection carefully curated by TIME’s eight-person team of photo editors, aim to show in pictures that this year was indeed different.
