Some perspectives from the “war torn generation” A victorious day – 19th May 2009: Those words were uttered by His Excellency President Rajapakshe addressing parliament in the wake of that historic and momentous occasion, on 19th of May 2009, when our Commander-in-Chief proudly proclaimed the resounding victory of our forces over the tyrants of terror; H.E. was referring to our Tamil brethren,...

Prof. Rohan Gunaratna Singapore, 18 April, (Asiantribune.com): “Sri Lanka has become a living laboratory on how to and how not to fight terrorism. Governments from around the world have started to study the Sri Lankan case. Western and other military, law enforcement security and intelligence services are today consulting the Sri Lankan government on how they reduced the LTTE power from a formidable...

Another email which is worth applying to our lives. Let us show the world that we can build One Sri Lanka. Hi Friends, I write this with a lot of sadness, relief and hope, from what has happened in the past few months. As a Tamil, (and proud to be one) I deeply feel that together, we can build the burnt bridges and pave a path to peace, happiness, equality and prosperity for us and for the future generations...

The holidays are over and the Kavun Kokis smell is postponed for another year. We inherit again the usual “drudgery reality” of day to day life. The domestics who went home to bust their earnings in fun and frolic have now returned, broke as the Ten Commandments. No more need for the madam to organise “take away” pseudo Chinese and the man who drove the Honda Civic is relieved, he doesn’t...

The true situation in Sri Lanka is coming to light with the visits of people who will speak the truth. I wish many of those who criticize the situation in Sri Lanka visits us to see for themselves the true picture. The LTTE has been beaten militarily, but the media vehicles are still running smoothly. The Diaspora supporting the LTTE claims should know that the LTTE kept the Tamil people in trenches,...

By: Gomin Dayasri Source: Defence.lk Exit of Prabhakaran has caused weird consequences- a meeting of minds between the Government and the Tamil Net. Both deem K.Pathmanathan(KP) as the anointed heir apparent. Nothing could have been further away from the mindset of Prabhakaran. He did not foresee or foretell a life for the LTTE after him. He was larger than the LTTE and he presumed there was no existence...

This e-mail was forwarded to me by a friend which should make people think more about the truth….. “Thousands of protesters gather on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, to ask for the Canadian government to intervene in what they are calling a genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka. (AP) I have cringed with pain and clutched my head in anguish, watching my grand children’s...

PRABAKARAN IS SEEN AS A MEGALOMANIAC WHO HIJACKED THE GRIEVANCES OF THE TAMILS TO GRATIFY HIMSELF. THE SWITCH FROM GUERRILLA TO CONVENTIONAL WARFARE WAS DISASTROUS THE TAMIL ‘STATE’ Prabakaran’s moment of triumph in ejecting the IPKF (March 1990) out of his domain, powered him with greater confidence. He felt vindicated in his belief that Eelam was a reality within his grasp. His surviving boys...

This an amazing article I found from Tehelka which gives in-site to one of the ruthless terrorist in the world. Prabakaran had everything: territory, international support and committed fighters. Senior journalist SHYAM TEKWANI, who has covered the LTTE and Sri Lanka for almost three decades tracks the alarming rise and astonishing fall of a man who sought to live to fight another day, but found only...
