With Indian organ transplantation rules making it near impossible for 'un-related' organ transplant here, Sri Lanka is emerging as the organ transplant hub for Bengalureans

Money was not a problem for a patient of her means. But finding a donor match among relatives was an insurmountable challenge. Her MLA-husband couldn't manage to bend the rules either and the doctors in Bengaluru too threw up their hands in despair. Just when it seemed all was lost, a trip to Sri Lanka, along with her driver, gave her a fresh lease of life. She returned with a new kidney!

Troubled waters all around India

New Delhi has lots to explain when Mohinder Rajpaksa was reelected as Sri Lanka’s President for the second time. India had supplied him small arms which he liberally used to kill the Tamils, the largest minority in that country. He should have been tried for war crimes because he killed 40,000 Tamils in cold blood even after the surrender by what was then called the LTTE, the militant face of Tamils in the Northern Sri Lanka.

Why Turkey’s leaders can’t say ‘Je Suis Charlie’

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made the trip to join the anti-terrorist march Sunday in Paris, whereas U.S. leaders did not. It was the right call for a man and country that have ambitions in both the Middle East and Europe. Yet the one thing Davutoglu couldn’t join the marchers in saying was, “Je Suis Charlie.”

Prabhakaran is dead but not the LTTE and Eelam

The figurehead of LTTE incorporated was killed on May 19, 2009 alongside a handful of other LTTE leaders. The fact that a little over 11,000 LTTE cadres surrendered or were captured during the final phase of the conflict should showcase that there are many more trained LTTE cadres still at large and we do not know how many live in either Sri Lanka or overseas.

By Camelia Nathaniel - Reporting from Jaffna

The Northern Province especially Jaffna, five years after the end of the war, is a bustling city while the people here are visibly relieved that they can live freely without the fear of bombs and killings and losing their children.
