Sri Lanka In Crisis (English) (Paperback)

The author in a refreshing original way dissects the Sri Lanka crisis into three parts. The first is a clear description of the problem which rejects the conventional formulation of the problem as ethnic, religious, or linguistic. Second, the author argues that the only viable solution to the crisis is devolution of state power, which means the replacement of the present unitary Constitution with a devolved federal-type Constitution. Thirdly, the author states that because the LTTE is an anti-Indian terrorist outfit which assassinated Rajiv Gandhi, hence India has to regard the LTTE as part of the problem, and definitely not a part of the solution.
