The boy who gives a truer picture of 'Periyar' V SUNDARAM I recently interviewed M Venkatesan, a 'Dalit', whose family has been living in a slum area called Hanumanthapuram in Triplicane during the last 25 years. I am specifically mentioning the fact that he belongs to the Dalit community only to take the wind from the sails of self-styled, castiest and communalist Dravidian leaders who often pride themselves as saviours, champions, protectors and upholders of the backward and suppressed communities in Tamilnadu under the political umbrella of 'self-respect' and 'social justice'. Venkatesan is a bright, hardworking and precocious young man who has taken his MA…

By Prof S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole Minorities are easy targets in a Sinhalese polity believing that no one else belongs. As Tisaranee Gunasekara has noted, UPFA ministers have attacked the Chief Justice for having Tamil lawyers – although Neelakandan voted for the BASL resolution against the Ban Ki Moon Report, it did not help him. Thrishantha Nanayakkara has drawn our attention to an ITN programme where Minister Wimal Weerawansa makes much of the Court of Appeal bench ruling on the CJ matter consisting of two Tamils and a Muslim (whereas it really had one of each community, including a Sinhalese). The Muslims too are caught up as hate campaigns are launched against h…

New DNA evidence is solving the most fought-over question in Indian history. And you will be surprised at how sure-footed the answer is, writes Tony Joseph The thorniest, most fought-over question in Indian history is slowly but surely getting answered: did Indo-European language speakers, who called themselves Aryans, stream into India sometime around 2,000 BC – 1,500 BC when the Indus Valley civilisation came to an end, bringing with them Sanskrit and a distinctive set of cultural practices? Genetic research based on an avalanche of new DNA evidence is making scientists around the world converge on an unambiguous answer: yes, they did. This may com…

The air was thick with emotion. Crowds of Tamil protesters had swelled along University Ave., throughout the cool spring day, chanting slogans and beating drums to bring attention to the plight of their families and friends in Sri Lanka. Leading the chorus of pleas was Lavanya Nithiyanantharasan, 21, a Durham College student whose strong voice and stamina roused the crowd for a marathon 24 hours. "Everybody was taking turns. We couldn't have just sat there. I had the voice and the strength to yell for a long time and so I did," she said. She became, at least for a day, the symbol of the Tamil movement: young, Canadian, yet impassioned enough to flock to t…

Crouching Tigers Kilinochchi is a bastion lost, but pro-LTTE parties in India still have an Eelam dream, reports PC VINOJ KUMAR THE DREAM of an independent homeland for Tamils in Sri Lanka, or Eelam, still burns bright in Tamil Nadu, despite the fall of Kilinochchi, the de-facto capital of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) controlled territory in north Sri Lanka.

On 2 January, 2009, Sri Lanka’s hard-line President Mahinda Rajapakse announced the capture of Kilinochchi…
