 In Sri Lanka the Tamil Community is seeking to separate itself from the Sri Lankan identity to assert their Tamil identity separate from the rest of the Sri Lankan Communities. They refuse to accept the Sinhala as the majority Community. They clamour about an ethnic problem , and make demands seeking parity with the [...]

Sarath Fonseka calls for a change. But a change for the better cannot come from Sarath Fonseka , who is not a real patriot . A patriot would not come forward to lead a country as its President only to stop corruption, and to end the executive powers of the President. There should be [...]

To begin with he has no viable political manifesto. He is there to eradicate corruption. Corruption is as old as the beginning of humanity and that cannot be eradicated through political means. There is no one country in the world where there is no corruption, let alone political corruption. Sarath Fonseka is groping blindly [...]

Sri Lanka Guardian with its doubtful connections has “sponsored” Robert Blake the former Ambassador to Sri Lanka, while the Asian Tribune carried a series of very interesting article by Daya Gamge US Natonal Corrspondent to the Asia Tribune. These series of articles of Daya Gamage will certainly not find their place in any of [...]

From the look of it none. To begin with he is handicapped not having a political party of his own to support him. The UNP is already split about a wholehearted support to the retired General. JVP has its own reasons , and not that of the Presidential candidate in offering their support. JVP [...]

Some time back I posted an article in Lankaweb, “ Where every Blake, Chilcott and Hogg, talks of Human Rights of terrorists, nobody speaks of the Human Rights, Grievances and Aspirations of Unemployed Graduates. », which was about the unemployed graduates and the ridiculous masquarade of giving some of them a grueling physical training [...]

Jehan Perera has begun his former anti-government campaign after the defeat of the terrorists. But never would Jehan Perera use the word terrorist in describing them; they were for him the LTTE. I read somewhere that Pakiasothy Saravanamuttu and Jehan Perera had visited the Assistant Secretary of State Robert O’Blake. What they had discussed [...]

Whatever Ranil touches ends up in disaster. His becoming Prime Minister of the UNF Government during the Presidency of Chandrika Kumaratunga resulted in the drawing up of a CFA by the Norwegians, the signing of which by Ranil and Prabhakaran resulted in a disaster which required a man like Mahinda Rajapakse to put it [...]

There is no anti-Americanism, and above all there is no anti- Obamanism, in Sri Lanka. There is on the other hand a dislike and displeasure of the American State Administration. It was not started by an identified or self identified nationalism or patriotism of the Sri Lankans, but by the American State Department Personnel [...]

United Nations Organisation “had been “ a symbol of equality and Unity of  Nations of the World. But to-day the UN does not symbolise  either  the Unity or the equality of Nations.  The developed countries dominate the World Forum and the Chief Executive the Secretary General  of the UNO  is only a “ puppet [...]

 Robert O’Blake US Assistant Secretary of State for Asian and Central Asian Affairs, is not promoting the USA President Barrack Obama’s foreign policies. In the 38 minutes long speech to the UN General Assembly the USA President made significant statements. But O’Blake is making a mockery of President Obama’s speech to the UN General [...]

 During the period that Sri Lanka was constantly menaced by a ruthless group of terrorists causing wanton massacres, murders, and assassinations, Sri Lanka was all alone to defend herself. The International Community stood by a mere observer calling the government to negotiate a peace settlement, while the terrorists were of one track mind for [...]

We can face the hypocrisy of the West , evidently led by the British and now the Assistant Secretary of State of USA Robert Blake, to undermine the development of our country and break it up territorially if possible, and come off unscathed only if all Sri Lankans are united behind the government,
 It is [...]

Time has come to expose the hypocrisy of the West- America, and the European Union, and find an alternative leadership  with China, Russia, Iran,  Libya and Vietnam.  Unfortunately, India’s leadership in Asia  is hampered by Tamil Nadu State with its racist politicians.

Freedom has to be exercised with caution.  Just because one is allowed to use one’s freedom, it should not be utilised for the detriment, or cause harm to another.  Freedom could lead to allsorts of abuses. It would be like giving a torch to a monkey. It could set  a whole forest on fire.  [...]

Election results of Jaffna and Vavunia in the Northern Provincial Council  were regrettable.  It showed a complete disregard for the  Government’s effort, at a terrible cost of human lives and loss of material, to relieve the Tamil people of the North from  the 30 years of terrorism and bring peace and prosperity to them.

 After elimination of terrorism the Government wants to go to war against the underworld.  But the paradox of it is that around the President basking in his glory are a set unsavoury elements who pays no attention to even the President. They also happen to be the elected representatives of the people, who despite [...]

 There had been experiments carried out in America to pass messages of publicity for food or drinks embedded in films run in cinemas, which is not perceived by the conscious mind but which affect the subconscious to influence favourable acceptance of the produce publicised. These are called subliminal messages.

 In Sri Lanka the man and elephant had a close relationship, from the very ancient times. The domesticated wild elephants were captured by man in elephant kraals and tamed. Separated from their herd-mates these poor beasts, like the healthy African youth captured by European slave merchants and sold in slave markets, slaved for his [...]

Of course Dayan Jayatileke needs no one to defend him.
 Least of all me, as I do not know Dayan Jayatilleke, I have seen him only in media images and heard him on video clips. But I have read some of his articles on various subjects appearing in the websites.
 I like his style of writing. [...]
