Clare Daly DESTROYS Israel and US War Narrative

March 8, 1992 "Our women are seeking liberation from the structures of oppression deeply embedded in our society. This oppressive cultural system and practices have emanated from age old ideologies and superstitions. Tamil women are subjected to intolerable suffering as a consequence of male chauvinistic oppression, violence and from the social evils of casteism and dowry." Today is International Women’s day, a day of awakening, resurgence and political action by women who constitute half the population of the world, a day the marks the revolutionary struggle of women for equal rights and social justice. I am happy to see that this day of women’s resurgence is celeb…

Colombo, March 11 (Daily Mirror) - In response to recent findings published in the British medical journal, The Lancet, concerning child malnutrition and underweight girls, Sri Lanka's health authorities have rejected the content referred to the portrayal of Sri Lanka. According to the study, approximately 410,000 girls in Sri Lanka are categorized as underweight, representing a prevalence of 16.4%. Despite efforts and initiatives aimed at improving nutrition and healthcare access, the report claims no detectable change in this distressing statistic since 1990. The Lancet publication, which covers data from 1990 to 2022 and was released on February 29, also rank…

Sri Lanka: Asymmetries in the peace process - the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam Visuvanathan Rudrakumaran As Clausewitz observed, war is politics by other means. Negotiations are a form of politics, but without some real or perceived symmetry of power they will be an exercise in one side imposing its will on the other. Power - i.e. the ability of one party to move the other in an intended direction - is constituted by military resources, economic leverage, international legitimacy, the moral basis of one's position, mass support, leadership, etc. It includes 'hard power' such as military coercion, as well as 'soft power', which is defined by Jos…

Heated exchange between MEP Clare Daly and Bulgarian MEP Angel DZHAMBAZKI

The etymology of the Sinhala word for outrigger vessels, 'Oruwa,' originated from the Tamil word 'Oruu.' The Sinhala author of the book 'ORU & the YĀTRĀ', Vini Vitharana, says that the Tamil language does not supply a parallel for this Sinhala word, and I highly disagree with his statement. The ORU & the YĀTRĀ by Vini Vithārana, Page 16 says: What I propose is that the Sinhala word Oruwa might have originated from the Tamil word Oruu. Image ss from Senthamizh Etymology Comprehensive Dictionary - O letter Series. Pages: 370,371 The Tamil Root: Oruu (ஒரூஉ) In Classical Tamil, the verb oruu means to be removed, to stay away from, or to set aside. In a broader Dra…

After reviewing how genocide studies approaches the Holocaust, Rwanda, Armenia, and Bosnia and comparing those methodologies to Tamil genocide scholarship...I've identified massive, systematic gaps. This isn't just about "more research needed." It's about entire analytical frameworks that exist for other genocides but are completely absent for Tamils. Here's what I found by analyzing Journal of Genocide Research, Genocide Studies and Prevention, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and comparing their methodological standards to Tamil case literature. What Genocide Studies Actually Does (The Standard Framework) Based on analysis of 20+ years of top genocide journals, here's wh…

Beyond the Archetype: Agency, Trauma, and Institutional Betrayal in the Narrative of Kagusthan Ariaratnam Aritra Banerjee July 30, 2025 The landscape of popular culture is populated by enduring archetypes—figures who, through repeated narrative deployment, become symbolic shorthand for complex human experiences. Among the most potent of these are the “child soldier” and the “double agent.” The former often embodies the ultimate loss of innocence, a symbol of war’s depravity; the latter represents the ultimate test of loyalty, a figure of intrigue and moral ambiguity. While these fictional constructs serve powerful narrative functions, they often flatten the intricate, …
