• Reforms in Sri Lankan Universities January 23, 2015
  | by Aboobacker Rameez( January 23, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is heartening to see a suitably qualified person being appointed as the Minister of Education. It is even more heartening to see the Minister, Prof. Rajiva Wijesinghe, attempting to introduce much needed reforms to the universities. One of the other important aspects that has credibly […]

  | by N.S.Venkataraman ( January 23, 2015, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Several decades back, Karl Marx gave strong call to the workers that “you have nothing to lose except the chain”. This call of Karl Marx resounded across the world, as it was then appropriate to the issues and problems faced by the blue collar workmen. It resulted in the development of ve […]

The political parties refused to compromise and made little headway in drafting a new constitution. One whole year was wasted.Too late in the day and very close to the deadline the eig […]

• The pathetic ‘at least’ whine of Yahapalanists September 14, 2017
  Cartoon by Anjana Indrajith, Daily FT (January 8, 2017)In the third week of January 2015, just two weeks after he became President, Maithripala Sirisena appointed his brother Kumarasinghe Sirisena as the Chairman, SLT.  That was the beginning of making a mockery of the term ‘good governance’.  A month later the Central Bank decided to issue Treasury Bonds in […]

• And we say 'aye' to no-confidence motions against ourselves....! September 7, 2017
  "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”“Time it was…and what a time it was…it was…a time of innocence…a time of confidences.  Long ago it must be…I have a photograph…preserve your memories… they're all that's left you.”That’s Simon and Garfunkel and it’s from their song ‘Bookends’ which speaks of aging and nostalgia.  The nostalgia part is some […]

• I am not buying "corruption-inevitability," are you? August 31, 2017
  Dr Harsha De Silva, Deputy Minister of Policy Planning and Economic Development, has come out strong on the subject of corruption.  He has observed that the entire country is corrupt.  The implication of course is that his government is also corrupt. He has said that he’s ‘sick of it all.’  The deputy minister should be applauded for having the courage to sa […]

• The March of Folly – 14. The uses and instruments of disinformation August 15, 2017
  I was sent recently a link to a bizarre article headlined ‘Retired MI5 Agent Confesses On Deathbed: “I Killed Princess Diana”’. It appeared on a site called ‘YourNewsWire.com’ and was supposed to be written by someone called Baxter Dmitry – about whom there seems to be some controversy, in that there are claims that he […]

• The March of Folly – 13. Personalization and the pursuit of perks August 14, 2017
  In the more than a month that passed two years ago between my resigning as State Minister of Higher Education and crossing over to the opposition, I realized how utterly Ranil despised the concepts of good governance that had been a cornerstone of President Sirisena’s manifesto. The failure to amend Standing Orders as promised, the […]

• The March of Folly – 12. Kabir Hashim’s selfish sense of dignity August 13, 2017
  I must confess to a sense of déjà vu in reading about the disappointment Kabir Hashim has expressed about the recent changes in Ministries. Two articles on the subject present very different perspectives, which together suggest that he is being the classic spoilt child, upset about his own powers and dignity – since he ‘cannot […]

• The March of Folly – 11. Silver linings amongst the cabinet clouds July 12, 2017
  I wrote last week, in rather sad vein, about the Cabinet reshuffle. But I did suggest that there might be a silver lining in the cloud, in that Ravi Karunanayake was less likely than Mangala to pursue the emasculation of our armed forces, and indeed the nullification of our victory over terrorism. I also argued […]

• The March of Folly – 10. Sirisena’s damp squib? July 10, 2017
  This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper   Eliot’s conclusion to ‘The Hollow Men’ seems to sum up the general reaction to the Cabinet reshuffle that took place last week. To call it a Cabinet reshuffle is perhaps a misnomer, since there were very few changes.The most significant […]

• The March of Folly – 9. Indian Involvements July 1, 2017
  I was away during the visit of the Indian Prime Minister and, with internet limited in Turkmenistan, could not follow what happened nor what was said. But enough came through to remind me of what happened 30 years ago, at the time of the Indo-Lankan Accord. The recently founded Liberal Party found itself in a […]

• The March of Folly – 8. Hamfisted Educational Reforms June 11, 2017
  I mentioned last week the lack of intelligent policy formulation in areas where new initiatives are urgently needed. One of these is industry, where we do not have any clear policy. This has come home to me through the pronouncements of our Manufacturing Sector Council, which notes that it is difficult to develop training plans […]

• The March of Folly – 7. Blocking Work June 4, 2017
  I wrote last week of the corruption that this government has engaged in, quite contrary to the President’s commitment to stop mega corruption and wastage. This week I would like to look at how the manner in which this government is working on that commitment has stopped the development activity the President hoped to increase. […]

• The March of Folly – 6. Bullying by the West May 29, 2017
  It is now clear that one expected outcome of the regime change of 2015, namely a more helpful approach to Sri Lanka on the part of the West, is not going quite as expected. Though the European Union has finally granted us GSP, against some significant opposition, its decision makers are going on and on […]

• The March of Folly – 5. Electoral reform – Sirisena’s greatest betrayal May 24, 2017
  Paul Scott, the British writer I admire most of those active in the second half of the last century, was adept at exploring how people let each other down. In one of his novels, he refers to the various betrayals his protagonist engaged in. I was reminded of that in thinking, as we reach the […]
