The New Frontier: The Fight for a Thamil Homeland on an International Scale Written By: Athithan Kurukulasingam A sense of urgency has transcended the minds and souls of Tamil youths across an international scale. Urgency in this form represents the need to broadcast to the world the atrocities that have and more shockingly are still… |

Written By: Nevethan Balendra Only in the past half century have women become more socially accepted in the sporting world. In the 1800s and 1900s, they were restricted to being a part of small clubs that weren’t competitive and only recreational. |

Written by: Mathusan Mahalingam The value of education is great, and for perpetrators of a systematic genocide, education of the targeted group is an attractive target. The obvious reason education has been targeted, and is targeted is that an educated class has power to fight back, and without this education, power centralizes around the perpetrators (Coloroso, 2007; Jones, 2006). The less Tamils who are in powerful positions, the less change they can initiate, and the harder it will be for them to replace organizers of genocides. |

Written By: Mathusan Mahalingam Today marks the 4th year remembrance of May Massacre, the height of the genocidal onslaught on the Tamils carried out by the Sri-Lankan Government. Today, I think of the tens of thousands of innocent civilians bodies, I think of the tens of thousands of people who were displaced and forced into concentration-style camps, I think of the tens of thousands of children who were orphaned, and I think of the tens of thousands of people who were injured, and I think of the tens of thousands of girls who were raped. Years from now, when my children and their children learn about the events that happened in Mullivaykal in 2009, I want them to learn the truth. |

This Calls for A Boycott!By Editor - April 28th, 2013 |

As the committee goes ahead and gives a thumbs up to this decision of approving Sri Lanka as the place for the 2013 CHOGM to be held, they are completely ignoring the values and principles previously agreed upon. It is some what hypocritical to grant credibility to a country who has corrupted the system developed by the Commonwealth, to be hosting their meetings itself in the future. In doing so, the committee tears apart and breaks the vows that they have promised to uphold. |

Written by: Dhabisha Kohilanathan One bright, sunny day, when Ruth was running across her school playground, she ran past a sleek, lustrous car that caught her eyes. She came to an abrupt halt and slowly turned her shoulders to steal a quick glance at the car of her dreams. It was beautiful, and she suddenly wished that she were old enough to lay her hands on such a vehicle. |

Written By: Riegie Godwin It was a cold morning just like any other in Toronto. I walked along Four Winds and took a right on Columbia Gate, reaching the TTC stop. I stood there waiting feverishly for the 196 Express Bus just like many other Sunday commuters that day. |
