There are certain accepted norms that should not be over stepped in civilized societies, in speech, word, or action. It is  to maintain a decorum in respect of a person’s intimate and personal relationships. That should be more so in written or electronic  media.  These accepted norms are not followed by some for gain, [...]

Lydia Polgreen writing to the New York Times of the 18 July, 2009, leads her article with the caption “ Justifying a Costly War in Sri Lanka.”, which by itself seems an innuendo with an intention to condemn an “ unnecessary war” according to her, for which an unconcerned government has spent money which [...]

 It is a contradiction of the President Mahinda Rajapakse, who had on the one hand most rightly promoted the leadership of the Government Armed Forces in recognition of their heroic contribution to save Sri Lanka from the perils of terrorism, and on the other hand to have “sacked” the most distinguished , brilliant, forthright, [...]

 Sri Lanka Media is being stormed with articles on the implementation of the 13 Amendment to the Sri Lanka Constitution. There are one or two in favour and many against . I am sure the President is following the controversies to reflect on them before he takes a final decision.
 We understand his predicament, as [...]

Sri Lanka is proposing to launch into tourism in a big way. The government perhaps considers that tourism is the ultimate in earning the much needed foreign currency. It may perhaps be so. But tourism has its advantages and disadvantages . The developing countries exploiting tourism as a money earner should do so with [...]

No Constitution is sacrosanct and any clause that does not fit in the development process of the country could be amended either by a two third majority or a referendum. Therefore the 13 Amendment could be removed if the implementation of it could lead to political problems.
 There are those who see nothing objectionable in [...]

 BBC does not seem to have changed its perverted reporting with the aim to divide people and create dissention among them. Take any of the articles on Sri Lanka in the BBC News website, and there is none without reference to the “Sinhala Majority” , or ” Sinhala Buddhist Governments “, followed by a [...]

The President of Sri Lanka wants home made solutions to build our nation afresh from the ashes of the past. In his most significant speech to the Parliament after elimination of terrorism from the country, he said that our Nation has no minorities.

Ban Ki Moon should reconstruct UN which is now in a pitiable dilapidated condition since George Bush skipped UN Security Council, to wage a war in Iraq. The UN is now bankrupt of the purpose for which it was organised. It is now up to Ban-ki Moon to reorganise the UN to win back [...]

The plot against the President Mahinda Rajapakse, and the Government Armed Forces, fizzled out at the special meeting of the UN Human Rights Council held in Geneva on the 27 May,2009. The Western countries remained isolated with 29 countries standing fearlessly against the arbitrary decisions the rich countries of the West think they have [...]

After the plotters failed at the First and the Second Acts of the plot against the President Mahinda Rajapakse, His Government and the Armed Forces, they put in motion the third Act, which is to accuse the President and the Armed Forces for War Crimes. This time they have found a new recruit who [...]

 Was there a plot against Mahinda Rajapakse by the International Community lead by Norway ?
 A plot, if there was one, would not have worked without local players taking part in it. Further more they should have their “puppet” to take the place of the one they want to toss overboard .
 Therefore, UNP would [...]

Terrorists are not educated, in the sense they do not have a philosophy to defend, They do not differentiate between good and bad. They have one object in mind and pursue it like a blinkered horse.  
A university education by itself does not qualify one to be accepted as educated. There are certain social norms [...]

The contradictions of the West is dovetailed to their pretentious “we know everything “attitude. They are fighting the terrorists, telling the world that they will not negotiate with the terrorist. They say, that they will fight terrorism wherever it exists, and will not compromise with terrorists. All that is meaningless bosh. Sri Lanka a [...]

United Nation is now a ramshackle organisation which does not know where it stands. It has become an outmoded out fit at the modern time. 
United Nations as it name indicates is an Organisation that stands for the Unity of Nations. But it has taken on itself a special duty of accusing Member States, [...]

21500 or more Sinhala Buddhist soldiers gave their lives, some their limbs, and others risked their lives , to save their Tamil Compatriots. Words are inadequate to express the great joy and happiness that rise within us on the news of the victories of our valiant Armed Forces against an enemy many thought they will [...]

Jayalalitha Jeyaram  has a big mouth to talk with,  but a considerably small brain to think with.  Therefore, what she talks and what she thinks seem to be in constant conflict. 
She is against terrorism she once said but she is  now for an Eelam  in Sri Lanka.  Why not an Eelam in India [...]

 Let India get credit for the delay in finishing off with terrorism, even at great risk to our Soldiers.
