Returning to Jaffna last week after three decades, on a visit to see the reconstruction after the end of the brutal civil war, was an emotional experience. My first visit to Jaffna, accompanying the Indian force commander, Lt Gen Depinder Singh, was in October 1987. The sound of AK-47 rifle fire, as our helicopter landed in Jaffna, is etched in my memory. Things were very different now, when I landed at Jaffna’s Palaly Airport
