Perhaps it’s even an idea you or someone else can pursue?

“We thus have the picture that while the LTTE continued immovable at its
habitual worst, the State too showed no serious intention of moving away
from the debilitating status quo that had kept this nation of promise a
stunted object of derision for five decades. Whenever we saw a humane and
enlightened approach by some military officers, we documented these so
that these exemplars would shine a few lights in unmitigated darkness and
a catalyst for reform and re-evaluation. Although we are aware of the
institutional nature of the State, during the two decades of war, when
people were many times left at the mercy of military officers by
deliberate actions by the LTTE inviting the Army to massacre for the
benefit of its propaganda, we saw these exceptions in the worst of times
as important.

After more than three decades of conflict, the country still continues to
bleed. Democratic institutions are fracturing beyond a point of repair,
while the leaders are blinded by the arrogance of power. Their short term
political interest helps the LTTE to thrust and hold the Tamil civilians
in a regime of war claiming with some logic that there is no alternative.

Ours is another tragic instance where identity politics has taken a
devastating toll on communities in a multi ethnic and multi religious
country through a combination of lack of visionary leadership and
political opportunism tied to an exclusivist majoritarian agenda. We have
also seen that in the name of liberation and right to self determination,
groups with a narrow nationalist agenda have opportunity to impose on them
a regime of unlimited destruction where the people stand to lose
everything.”
