| Summary/Abstract |
Unlike what may have been reduced to in some circles, India- Sri Lanka relations are not a 'one-issue affair', centred on the vexatious ethnic problem in the island-nation, or on its influence and impact on
the south Indian State of Tamil Nadu. Instead, they continue to be multi-dimensional and multifarious, standing as testimony and test- case to the path of greater regional stability and cooperation, which
is in the interest of South Asia as a whole.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Sri Lanka, the two very close neighbours, are separated by a narrow stretch of water called Palk Strait. The history and mythology of the two countries are inter- related and the social ties between the two is more than 2,500 years old and both sides have built upon a legacy of intellectual, cultural, religious and linguistic intercourse. Shortly following independence, the major tribulations bedevilling the rapport of both the countries were the question of citizenship of the persons of Indian Origin resident in Sri Lanka, the majority of who had migrated to the Island during the British Period to the Coffee and subsequently tea plantations.

| Summary/Abstract |
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.

| 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.

| Summary/Abstract |
The central role that regional-language identities play in the communicative and cultural settings of South Asia is best reflected in the regional media landscape. The varied influences of regional media on a nation's polity and society in multilingual countries like India have largely been evaluated within the framework of the reconstitution of public space. This paper furthers such studies by arguing that the reconstitution of the Indian public by regional media is, in some instances, effected through a discourse that counters the mainstream, or the 'national-nodal point'. At a time when coalition national governments comprise or depend upon the support of regional political parties for survival, a counter-hegemonic regional discourse can have far-reaching effects, extending the regional media's sphere of influence significantly-from national politics to international relations. Through an analysis of the constructions of the Sri Lankan ethnic issue in the English- and Tamil-language press, I draw out the significance of 'counter-hegemonic' representations in the regional media.
