- "Only the dead have seen the end of wars." This Blog is dedicated in the name of all men of the armed forces , paramilitary and police force and innocent people trapped by the hell of this "Tamil Insurrection" - past ,present and future - who have valiantly fought for many years - and many who sacrificed their young lives - to keep this country under one flag and in order to keep "Tamil terrorist " at bay. And may it be noted that this site also looks sadly and in utter disgust at political regimes who have bickered among themselves for for the last fifty years since independence , and have played into the hands off the "Eelamist sympathisers " in trying to compromise the birth right of all Sri Lankans and have prevented all armed forces from eliminating the tamil terrorist and putting an end to this internecine "tamil Insurrection". "This is a bugle call for the people of Sri Lanka to pressurize the politicians of this country to keep political goals , election targets away and their petty political differences away to stamp down this insurrection once and for all - FOR THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR LASTING PEACE NOT THROUGH SELF DESTRUCTING PEACE RALLIES. Note:This blog is a collection of articles published regarding the Sri lankan conflict in different web based media that have been collected over a long period.I hope these articles will help one gain a better insight about this internecine conflict that plagues this country more almost three decades.

Sri Lanka Guardian- The Agony of Peace May 19, 2013| by Tisaranee Gunasekara “To change masters is not to be free” Jose Marti (eddosrios.org ) ( May 19, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The photograph2 is iconic; Alavi Moulana, 83 years old and an SLFP veteran of 52 years, bending down and kissing the hand of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

- Sri Lanka retreats to the dark city May 19, 2013| by Kishali Pinto-Jayawardena ( May 19, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) As lights are dimmed over Sri Lanka following prohibitively crushing electricity hikes, the enveloping darkness is menacingly symbolic of the crisis which our society is facing. This is even as the politically privileged siphon off massive amounts of money for useless extravaganzas, […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)

An indigenous community in central Mexico surrounded by verdant mountains. The moon is set brightly yellow, as it became the only light to illuminate the small houses spread across the large hills. Tomasa ran across the grasslands with her slippers in hand. Barefoot, […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)
- Without Russia, World War II Goes On May 16, 2013| by John Stanton ( May 16, 2013, Virginia, Sri Lanka Guardian) Most Americans are ignorant of Russia’s incredible contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan. Americans can barely remember the details of World War II and worse still they do not want to be bothered with more than a cursory review of the details, subtleties and chance that WWII was.

- The Spectre Haunting the Rajapaksas May 16, 2013| by Tisaranee Gunasekara “Never will tyrants freely consent to the extirpation of servitude….” Thomas Raynal1 ( May 16, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Of all the spectres the Rajapaksas fear, Oppositional-unity would arguably be the most terrifying. The Rajapaksas began getting jittery when it became evident that the May 15th demonstration against the e […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)
- Working Towards Reconciliation Or Separation May 16, 2013( May 16, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The recent actions of the Sri Lankan government and the statements made by their chauvinist components makes one wonder whether the Rajapaksa State is moving towards reconciliation or is it working out a strong case for the justification for separation. The Bodu Bala Sena protected and patronised by the Rajapaksas […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)
- A history unlikely to be repeated May 16, 2013( May 16, 2013, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The standardization policy introduced by Sirimavo Bandaranaike's United Front Government was aimed at addressing a higher education issue that caused worry to the majority community Sinhalese – the low number of university admissions at that time. But Bandaranaike's attempt backfired, strongly so, when a […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)

- Las Vegas: Sin City May 16, 2013| by Romer Cherubim ( May 16, 2013, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) The thought of Las Vegas, U.S.A. conjures up in the minds of many a holiday-maker, riotous pleasure whether it is in casinos or lap-dancing clubs. However, the city has much more to offer than this superficial view. I found this out on my most recent trip. Passing through Customs at the first po […]noreply@blogger.com (Sri Lanka Guardian)

He’s not even talking about the Tamil National Alliance. No, not even about Douglas Devananda. He’s talking about a man called Tissa Vitharana. That’s how much federal-hope has shrunk these days.
