Living in a Digital Dark Age...

The much touted 'Sankaran Koil elections' were over, with a landslide victory for 'Amma'...

The fiercely debated KKNPP had let out its first breath long held back...

Wartime atrocities by Srilankan army had been 'discovered' with the help of mind-boggling video footages...
