The man who took a banned terrorist organisation's flag to a highly venerated religious place in another part of the world yesterday is now claiming that he would not allow outsider to create religious disharmony in the country. Those who have helped terrorists and their supporters to slip through the border posts and claim political asylums in another country by taking brides have now become patriots and pledging to protect the country by all means. Man who has done so much to the Sri Lankan Cricket is now being branded a traitor by some who have not done anything to uplift the game in anyway, because he has agreed teach a few foreign guys a few tricks with the Cherry. Men who sold the country’s World Cup dream for money and favours are being branded as Heroes; where the whistle-blower is being branded a traitor because he refused to play a few matches for the country due to a well know injury. Those who have looted billions of wealth from the country are being treated as heroes a...

Those who are responsible for creating the present power crisis in Sri Lanka is deadlier than the LTTE TIGERS who attacked the economically important targets in Sri Lanka once. Sending troops to guard the installations and facilities is just a cosmetic gesture only to boost the confidence of the general public. If someone is determined, he or she can do more harm even while the troops watch over the facilities with guns in their hands but not knowing exactly what is going on there inside. Army Engineering guys should be sent in now, at least they have the technical knowledge to see, if and when something is amiss. But, how to deal with the saboteurs with best and quick result oriented way is the important question. How did we treat the LTTE TIGERS and the same way those who were responsible should be treated, if we are to see a better life tomorrow. The government should put more resources and time to investigate this incident and bring people who are alleged to have been ...

Misconceived Notion of Some Tamils By Sasanka De Silva - Sultanate of Oman It is a common and general misconception that the Tamils in Sri Lanka took arms against the Sinhalese because of the discriminatory practices by the latter against the minority Tamils. There are two types of Tamils in Sri Lanka. One is the Sri Lankan Tamils and the others the Indian Tamils. The latter were brought to the island by the British to work in Tea plantations. They comprise 5.6% of the population. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan Tamils whom the LTTE terrorists claim that they are duty bound to liberate and are calling for the Eelam are 12.6%. Out of which, 6.5% live in the Northern part of Sri Lanka, 2.7% in the East and the rest, 3.4% live in the other parts of the country. If the discriminations against the minority were so prevalent then the numbers would have drastically been different. Almost half of the Sri Lankan Tamils are living side by side with the majority and other e...

For the majority of those who are living in Sri Lanka and abroad the war is finally over. When the final victory was announced, people spontaneously came out on to streets to celebrate. Though it was tersely reported in many international Medias, among them were many Tamils living in and around cities too have voluntarily joined the frolicking crowds. They too lit crackers, cried, laughed, sang, danced and enjoyed communally cooked “Kiri Bath” and “Lunu Miris”, with the other merrymakers. An identical incident happened, some years back but that too was only reported tersely. When the Indo-Lanka peace treaty was announced in 1987, the Tamils who were living then in the north of the country too came out in thousands on to streets to celebrate, when they heard that one of the preconditions of the treaty is to, all armed Tamil groups to surrender their arms. All groups were surprised and only a few were annoyed and angered. I do not think that I need to go in to details of what happened a...
