Fragmented Island Unites: Significance of Stunning Victory – By KKS Perera President Anura Kumara Dissanayake at a political rally in Jaffna Source : dailymirror For the first time in history, Sri Lankans have demonstrated a noteworthy advancement in political literacy, with all three communities rejecting divisive politics.

Reminiscing memories of putting the Kandy Lake in order-by L.B Senarathne Source:Dailymirror The Kandy Lake was created with the tears and sweat of the Kandyan Peasants and it amounted to forced labour.
