| Summary / Abstract (Note) |
While attention has been justifi ably focussed on the alleged violation of the rights of Sri Lankan Tamils, a true perspective may be gained by including the entire nation in a study of the prevailing situation. Apratim Mukarji believes the unsatisfactory treatment of the Tamil issue is a corollary of President Mahinda Rajapaksa's objective of curbing all other powers and suppressing human rights throughout the country in order to strengthen and perpetuate his rule. |
