Q: So can you explain what is the role of Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) and how this particular institution is important for the legal fraternity and also for the ordinary public? The BASL Association of Sri Lanka is the apex body of lawyers. It is a professional organisation and we have a membership comprising over 20,000 lawyers. Our association is now into its golden jubilee (50) anniversary this year. The association was established on November 14, 1974 if I remember right. I was not a lawyer at that time. I was only a schoolboy. But I have read through the history of the association. There was Dr. H. W. Jayawardena, Queen’s Counsel, who was the Emeritus…

Protect from Corona virus Hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness etc it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection. In critical times, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air! Another EXCELLENT ADVICE by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases. Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat is moist, never DRY. Take a few sips of water every 15 mins at least. WHY? Even if the virus gets into your mouth...drinking water or other liquids will WASH them down through your esophagus and into the stomach. On…

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF SAIVA SIDDHANTA BY SAIVA THIRU.G. SUBRAMANIA PILLAI .M.A.,B.L., "The Saiva Siddhanta System is the most elaborate, influential, and undoubtedly the most intrinsically valuable of all the religions of India. It is peculiarly the South Indian and Tamil religion." Thus observes that great Western scholar, whose epitaph bears the terse but significant line, 'Student of Tamil', Dr. G.U.Pope. In fact, the roots of Saivism are deeply imbedded in the ancient classical lore of the Tamils, the Sangam Literature. I shall cite one instance which will bear out this statement. In a beautiful triplet, which forms the invocatory verse of Aiyink…

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s remarks while addressing the UN security council had an inaccurate reference about the Sri Lankan armed forces using rape as a tactic of war . This is the relevant quote from the US Secretary of State: “The resolution we passed today represents a step forward in our global efforts to end violence perpetrated against women and children in conflict zones, and it builds on two prior Security Council resolutions: Resolution 1325, which called on all parties in conflicts to respect women’s rights and increase their participation in peace negotiations and post-conflict reconstruction efforts; and Resolution 1820, adopted last year, which affir…

Received July 26, 2005; accepted for publication November 3, 2005; electronically published December 16, 2005.Although considerable cultural impact on social hierarchy and language in South Asia is attributable to the arrival of nomadic Central Asian pastoralists, genetic data (mitochondrial and Y chromosomal) have yielded dramatically conflicting inferences on the genetic origins of tribes and castes of South Asia. We sought to resolve this conflict, using high-resolution data on 69 informative Y-chromosome binary markers and 10 microsatellite markers from a large set of geographically, socially, and linguistically representative ethnic groups of South Asia. We found tha…

Mr Chidambaram’s War A math question: How many soldiers will it take to contain the mounting rage of hundreds of millions of people? ARUNDHATI ROY The low, flat-topped hills of south Orissa have been home to the Dongria Kondh long before there was a country called India or a state called Orissa. The hills watched over the Kondh. The Kondh watched over the hills and worshipped them as living deities. Now these hills have been sold for the bauxite they contain. For the Kondh it’s as though god has been sold. They ask how much god would go for if the god were Ram or Allah or Jesus Christ? Perhaps the Kondh are supposed to be gratef…

15. Genetics may now begin to help in establishing early population movements. However, the error bars in such studies (like those in raw C14 dates) usually are thousands of years wide, and therefore useless for the historical period around 1000 BCE. (All this apart from the fact that there is a methodological problem of the speed of mutations that needs to be properly addressed). The discussion of individual papers would take too long; let me just point out that the much-touted Kivisild paper of 1999 is contradicted by --- Kivisild in his later incarnations (2004 etc.). The same authors who claim proof for persistence of ``Indian`` genes also partici…
