Sri Lankan monk is condemned to death for murder A Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka has been sentenced to death - the first monk in 50 years to receive such a sentence in the country. Gomadiye Sarana, 37, was convicted for a murder committed before he was ordained into the clergy. His fate is unclear, however, as no death sentence has been carried out for more than three decades in Sri Lanka. Sarana and an accomplice were found guilty of murdering a man 12 years ago by a court in the south of the country. The crime appeared to be linked to a dispute over an affair the monk had with the murder victim's sister. http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-17133192

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing the government of India of involvement in the fatal shooting of a Canadian Sikh leader — a claim that will have seismic effects on an already shaky bilateral relationship. Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar was brazenly shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C. on June 18. Nijjar, a supporter of a Sikh homeland in the form of an independent Khalistani state, had been branded by the Indian government as a "terrorist" and accused of leading a militant separatist group — something his supporters have denied. Now, Trudeau said, Canada's national security apparatus has reason to believe that…

Karuna’s first move in this latest twist is to issue an order to the parents of the members of the Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) led by Minister Doug…

If any section of the society thinks that the calendar is its prerogative, liberate the calendar, rather than mutilating it or abandoning it.

Any society, which doesn’t care to investigate and understand its own heritage of science, is not going to make any progress. It will always …
