Seven years after the end of Sri Lanka's war (Mahendra Thiruvarangan, South Asia Monitor)

When the civil war came to an end in May 2009, I was still a final year undergraduate at the Peradeniya University. It was many miles away from the war zone. The only avenues that supplied us with details about the happenings in the war theatre were TV channels. The other modes were pro-LTTE websites releaseing carefully filtered out reports singularly focusing on the deaths of civilians caused by the military leaving no trace about how the top LTTE leadership was recruiting children and adults, despite knowing so well they had already lost the battle or how the civilians who were fleeing the war zone were shot by the militants
