Media "war" on Tigers RADHIKA RAMASESHAN Jaffna, July 26: The Sri Lankan Army has launched a concerted propaganda onslaught against the Tamil Tigers. The army realises that while fighting the LTTE on land and sea is one aspect of the "war", the other is to create a level playing field for itself in the media, especially print and the Internet.

The joke in Colombo is that the media ministry often learns of strikes on the army through tamilnet.com and provi…

Thousands of people have been attending mass ceremonies in India at which hundreds of low-caste Hindus (Dalits) converted to Buddhism and Christianity. The events in the central city of Nagpur are part of a protest against the injustices of India's caste system. By converting, Dalits - once known as Untouchables - can escape the prejudice and discrimination they normally face. The ceremonies mark the 50th anniversary of the adoption of Buddhism by the scholar Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. He was the first prominent Dalit to urge low-caste Indians to embrace Buddhism. As the chief architect of India's constitution, he wrote anti-discrimination provisio…

A brother out of control - Editorial , The Hindu. Two years after defeating the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and eliminating it as a military entity, Sri Lanka is still struggling to emerge from the woods on some important fronts. Two issues are predominant. One is the nature of the peace, and the efforts by the Sri Lankan government towards a political reconciliation between the Sinhalese majority and the Tamil minority. The military victory over the LTTE, and President Mahinda Rajapaksa's strength in parliament, gave the government an unprecedented opportunity to put in place a progressive political framework to heal the wounds of a 30-year war, and address Ta…

The Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme is the greatest financial shock so far in a year full of them. We still have a couple of weeks to go, but barring Warren Buffett being caught in Vegas thrusting Berkshire Hathaway stock at strippers, it is hard to imagine anything worse. I don't say this lightly. How can Madoff be worse than Lehman Brothers or AIG or the travails of Detroit's Big Three? It's because what he did was so simple. And he duped so many smart, conservative people for so long. And he did it in plain sight. Look at the list of those who lost money. Swiss private banks. Jewish family foundations. Retirees in Palm Beach. Not exactly the Fast Eddies of fina…
