Shenali D Waduge Why has it become customary to view affairs only from the lens of Christian West nations and through their communication channels? If the world can ask ‘why is the world ignoring Myanmar’s Rohingyas’ why can’t the world ask ‘what are the fears of the Buddhists of Burma?”. When the world does not […]

Shenali D Waduge The question is simple and direct. The problem is, no one is giving a correct answer. Scores of articles, press conferences, statements have been issued none of which have given the public the confidence that they are being told the truth.

By Charles.S.Perera The expatriate pro terrorist Tamils call Mahinda Rajapakse a dictator. These Tamils who have no sense of patriotism, keen more on dividing the country of their birth (or that of their parents), lack a proper sense of the use of definitions.

Dr. Tilak Fernando (Continuation of Nicky Karunarathna experiences) Among the mixed bag of feed backs on Nicky Karunarathna’s exposures on the masked characters of the yesteryear politicians in this country, especially the so called Socialist comrades who have been cheating and misleading the innocent public, I found another reader last week commenting thus: “You are […]

H. L. D. Mahindapala Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka (DJ) and Prof. Kumar David (KD) are two leading Marxists who wage Left-wing ideological wars in their provocative analyses and polemics published mainly in the English media.

H. L. D. Mahindapala In the 21st century there is nothing more stupid as anachronistic Marxists quoting outdated Lenin to find answers for contemporary problems from his theories which never succeeded even during his time to solve his own problems.

Kumar Moses In one of the worst plunders this nation has seen after the British left, Wilpattu National Reserve is being destroyed by unscrupulous extremist elements.

By A. Abdul Aziz. 1. Why crucifixion? Jews wanted him to be killed through crucifixion, so they can prove that Jesus is not a beloved of God, rather the curse of God is on him.
