India ready to play role in Lanka peace process India ready to play role in Lanka peace process Saturday December 31 2005 08:23 IST NEW DELHI: With the ceasefire between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE rebels under "strain", India has indicated that it is ready to "encourage" parties to bring the peace process back on track.

In a joint press statement issued on Friday, India felt that ceasefire violations should be stopped and also hoped "a politi…

Three IT professionals from Tamil Nadu are camping in New Delhi, trying to knock on the corridors of power to impress upon the government to stop playing second fiddle on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue and vote in favour of the US-sponsored United Nations Human Rights Council resolution. Sheela Bhatt reports "Do you know thousands of students from over 200 Tamil educational institutions are protesting against Sri Lanka's ill-treatment of ethnic Tamils since the last many weeks?" "Do you know that thousands of students are on a token fast today (Thursday) across Tamil Nadu to put pressure on the UPA government in New Delhi to vote in favour of the US-sponsored United…

How do I love thee, tree? Let me count the ways; you change carbon dioxide into the oxygen we breathe, you sequester carbon, and you provide shelter for countless critters. There are many reasons for which we should all be tree-hugging hippies, but within the scope of this article, all we’ll focus on is how amazing some of them look. Granted, not all of these amazing beautiful trees are trees (the Wisteria is a vine, Rhododendrons are shrubs, and bamboo technically belongs to the grass family), but we’ll give them a pass because they are amazing, huge and beautiful. So once you step outside and take a breath of fresh air, hug the nearest tree and say thank you! If you…

New Delhi The day Sri Lanka backed out of the joint partnership with India and Japan for the much-hyped East Container Terminal (ECT) project at Colombo port, a move that shocked both New Delhi and Tokyo, Sri Lanka’s Central Bank (CBSL) also returned the US $400 million currency swap to India, foreclosing a key debt, IBN reported. Sri Lanka had availed this facility in July 2020 to meet some immediate expenses during the Covid-induced lockdown. However, both the nations kept quiet about it. After a section of the media and opposition politicians started talking about a “pissed off” India asking Sri Lanka to return its money, Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL)…

May 18th will be forever etched in our memories as a day when Tamils around the world watched in horror as the 27 year old ethnic conflict came to a disastrous end. Tens of thousands of innocent people were slaughtered. Today, we mourn those men, women and children, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, whose lives were taken. While we mark the anniversary of this emotional day with prayers and remembrance activities, it is equally important to ensure that the perpetrators of this massacre, and of the decades-long persecution against Tamils, are brought to justice. We cannot let their suffering and death be in vain. While the past year was meaningful, includ…

Diego Garcia's Hidden Role in Sri Lankan Politics By S.N. Amazing how the three vital factors regarding real estate came into play even in the plight of the Tamils -- location, location, and location. Diego Garcia? Is he of any relation to the tall, dark and handsome Cuban, Andy Garcia? The very gentleman who set many female hearts afire when he played the most coveted roles in decades, the hot-headed son of Sonny Corleone and mob protégé of Michael Corloene, Vincent Mancini; in 1990 Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather: Part III -- Unfortunately, not! Then again, if you knew of Diego Garcia, you are clearly in the slim minority, for the name Diego …

It is six months since the end of the conflict in Sri Lanka but Tamil Tiger rebels and their supporters are yet to recover from the dramatic military defeat by security forces earlier this year. The recent attempts by remnants of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) abroad to revive the movement have not succeeded so far. Now questions are being raised over the future of its international network and millions of dollars worth of assets spread across continents. It is a dramatic reversal of fortune for the LTTE, once described as one of the most powerful guerrilla movements in the world which almost had a de facto state and its own naval and air wings…
