A UN member state is being accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity & even ‘genocide’.Sri Lanka has been the victim of an annual witch hunt sponsored by blood-money for 12 years. All of these allegations has credibility if and only if they can prove Sri Lanka intentionally killed 40,000 and the deaths are disproportionate […]

Shenali D Waduge History will one day be witness to the lies, deceit and hypocrisies taking place in the Halls of the UN and in particular the UNHRC.

We also know that covid makes no differentiation nor does it favor any race, religion, nationality or continent. Covid doesn’t care […]

Tamil politicians can speak for the welfare and rights of the Tamils, Muslims can demand rights and privileges for Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Catholics can demand their rights but why is it considered taboo for Sinhalese to speak about the future of the Sinhalese or for Sinhalese Buddhists to exercise their rights in a land […]

LTTE terrorism was defeated in May 2009. Without a charismatic terrorist leader, LTTE is unlikely to resurface. But, the efforts to create a Tamil Eelam or a Greater Tamil Eelam encompassing Tamil Nadu has scope as it is aligned to geopolitical goals of those that sponsored Tamil militancy & separatism. Global proscriptions of LTTE did […]

How much is China more of a threat to India than US, will be a question India must continue to ask, as it rushes to sign agreements with US. Whether India will become ornamental allies like Montenegro & North Macedonia is yet to be seen. Who would have thought that India leaning Soviet Union and […]

It is not every day that the US Secretary of State receives letters from unknown, undisclosed and unheard of countries and people calling themselves Prime Minister while living in the US, working in the US and claiming he is head of a utopian country while in the US.

This is a right of reply to an article appearing on Daily FT titled History repeating – Are we going to lose MCC or not?” by an anonymous international development expert on 22 October 2020. It would be nice for this so-called international development expert with 25 year’s experience to reveal his name if he […]

This question is being asked across numerous public portals and begs the Government to answer & relieve all doubts.

The people’s apprehensions […]

Maithripala Sirisena was not born with a silver spoon.

Today, these entities regret that decision. His impassioned address to the Nation […]

Not […]

When the heroic armed forces of Sri Lanka eliminated the ground force of the LTTE including its top brass, they succeeded in ending 3 decades of terror and gave the 20mllion populace an elusive peace sans bombs, suicide missions and assassinations.

With much thought and strategy Sri Lanka has appointed Moragoda as Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner to Delhi iced with cabinet ranking, the first such fringe benefit afforded to a high commissioner.

Therefore, this important clause […]
