The Unsmiling Man Whose Eyes Seem Fixed Somewhere In The Jungle

Rating: 5.0


The elephants, Lions, Tigers
Monkeys, Donkeys and Reptiles
All were stuck in a continuing ethnic war tarnishes the pearl of the Indian Ocean.
Sri-Lanka means 'Blessed Island' in Sinhala,
And its best it has been an enlightened, Multiethnic Democracy, an India without crushing social problems.
Guerrillas who demand a separate state for Tamils and the Army has launched a major offensive against them.
The ratio of the literacy rate goes high up to 90%
But there won't be a solution unless a new Buddha must re-born in the state of Tamil Nadu in India.

* An open invitation to Mr.Velupillai Prabahkaren (Hidden somewhere in the jungle) for a permanent peaceful solution to this tragedy.

Postscript
European invaders exploited Ceylon as it was known until 1972, for its deep ports, spices and gems; The Portuguese came in the early 16th century, The Dutch in the 17th and The British in the late 18th, then worst came to worst..............................?

Dear Nimal, This is the real tragedy we are experiencing here is SriLanka. Unfortunately I am on my vaccation, here I see polititians fight each other for power. This is no more a beautiful country. No cool breezes and lovely drizzles you encounter. So sad Nimal, Anyway nicely penned. Theruwan saranayi, Kolitha
