| Summary/Abstract |
This paper discusses the material effects of the theorisation of the contemporary Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora around the 1983 Colombo riots. In the complicated aftermath of the end of the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009, it is necessary to rethink the way in which diasporic history has been constructed in order to factor in its multiple dimensions and underlying dynamics. By critically foregrounding the key literature on the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora, which is definitive to understanding the history of Sri Lankan Tamil emigration around the 1983 riots, the modern diaspora can be framed anew by longer and more diverse historical perspectives.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article argues that the militarised nature of India's initial reaction to an internal security crisis contributes to deterioration in the situation. The resulting full-blown insurgency, usually complicated by proxy war, takes several years to wind down due to the political prong of strategy not keeping pace with the military prong. This is to the detriment of the legitimacy of the state and exacts a high human price. Learning lessons from India's initial reaction to insurgency outbreak therefore helps to highlight the importance of prevention and possibilities in non-militarised alternatives. The article considers the initial phases of three of India's major counter-insurgency engagements-Punjab, Kashmir and in Tamil areas of Sri Lanka-to arrive at the conclusion that moderation in facing crisis prevents conflict outbreak.

| Summary/Abstract |
When assessing insurgencies, understanding the role of transnational factors is vital. This article explores how outside powers support an insurgency, focusing on four types of actors: states, diasporas, refugees, and other insurgencies. It also examines the pitfalls and limits of outside support and assesses why such support is so hard to stop. The article concludes by offering implications for the conflict in Syria and discussing several policy implications with a particular emphasis on why outside support is hard to stop.

| Summary/Abstract |
In November 2012, workers digging in the compound of a hospital in Matale, in central Sri Lanka, uncovered human remains. A full excavation revealed some 154 skeletons. Forensic reports point to signs of torture on the bodies and evidence of unnatural deaths (such as decapitation). Artifacts buried with the bodies indicate a time frame of 1986-90, precisely the period of fighting between the Sri Lankan state and the Sinhalese nationalist insurrectionary group Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), which resulted in an estimated 60,000 missing and feared dead. Officials have rejected the dating of the bodies and claim that they are from the 1940s. North of Matale are the areas where the final battles of Sri Lanka's civil war took place. Many analysts, including members of the United Nations agency tasked with investigating accounts of the last battles, suggest that nearly 40,000 Tamil civilians died there between February and May 2009. In January of this year, another mass grave was uncovered, this time in northern Mannar. The
state claims that it contains the remains of those killed by the Tamil Tigers, also known as the Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE); civil society figures argue that the dead were victims of the army. Excavation has halted, and the Archaeological Board has suggested that this site might in fact be a normal cemetery.
