Si beaucoup de communautés ont été explorées par le cinéma français, il a rarement rendu visite aux tamouls de Paris. En combinant immersion ethnologique et polar, Little Jaffna rénove l'idée d'un cinéma de quartier pour renouer avec l'énergie du cinéma de genre populaire et une pédagogie sur l'identité des tamouls, la guerre des gangs parisiens faisant écho à celle qu'a traversée le Sri Lanka.Lawrence Valin signant décidément un film aussi inespéré qu'inattendu, son récit d'infiltration s'imprégnant aussi des codes du cinéma asiatique ou indien.

Jaffna, nel nord dello Sri Lanka, è una meta spesso trascurata dai turisti, troppo indaffarati a bearsi dei paesaggi, delle piantagioni di tè e delle spiagge tropicali. Jaffna è una città acciaccata, ferita dalla guerra civile - una città che è stata grande e che oggi non lo è più. Venire fino qui è, a mio avviso, necessario e doveroso per capire il Paese e la sua storia. Nella cartolina di oggi vi racconto il perché. ****Saluti e baci: cartoline dal mondo è un podcast felicemente autoprodotto da me, Federica Capozzi.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 28th of January and here are the headlines.Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India will no longer rely on exporting raw materials to be processed abroad and sold back as finished goods. Speaking at Odisha's Utkarsh Odisha conclave, Modi emphasized that India's economic growth must focus on innovation and quality manufacturing. He also highlighted recent Coldplay concerts in Mumbai and Ahmedabad as proof of the potential for live events to boost the economy, underscoring the shift towards a self-sufficient, value-added production ecosystem.Ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal urged PM Modi to introduce a nationwide law banning loan waivers for billionaires. He criticized the government for waiving loans of the wealthy while ordinary citizens bear high taxes. Kejriwal suggested that ending these waivers could lower income tax, GST rates, and remove taxes on essential goods. He called the practice a scandal and demanded an end to what he called "unfair financial relief for the rich."Five Indian fishermen were injured when the Sri Lankan Navy opened fire near Delft Island on Tuesday. Two of the fishermen sustained serious injuries and were hospitalized in Jaffna, while three others suffered minor injuries. India lodged a strong protest with the Sri Lankan Acting High Commissioner in New Delhi, and the Indian High Commission in Colombo also raised the issue with the Sri Lankan government. The remaining fishermen were detained by the Sri Lankan Navy.Maharashtra's long-awaited civic elections will be delayed further as the Supreme Court scheduled the next hearing on petitions regarding OBC reservations for February 25. The delay has disappointed political parties and aspirants preparing for the polls. The Pune Municipal Corporation has been under an administrator since the previous body's term ended in 2022. Parties are now facing additional uncertainty as the civic polls remain stalled due to ongoing legal challenges over reservations.US President Donald Trump confirmed that PM Narendra Modi is likely to visit the White House in February following a phone conversation between the two leaders. Trump described the relationship between the US and India as “very good” and said they discussed various issues, including illegal immigration. While India has not officially confirmed the visit, Trump said Modi would “do what's right” regarding immigration matters, signaling potential discussions during the upcoming visit.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

The National People's Power (NPP), the ruling alliance led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has secured a historic mandate in Sri Lanka's parliamentary elections. By winning 159 seats in the 225-member Parliament, it has secured two-thirds majority, a feat never achieved before in Sri Lanka's proportionate representation system. This victory, coming two months after his election as President, leaves Dissanayake supremely well-placed to fulfil the expectations of a people exhausted by economic travails. But then, he will also be under pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stick with the program of permanent austerity. Can he navigate these contradictory pulls on his government? If so, how? And will he use his two-thirds majority to establish a new political culture, say, by abolishing the executive presidency? Guest: Dr Ahilan Kadirgamar from the University of Jaffna. Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Sharmada venkatasubramanian.

Sri Lanka's political future appears clearer and hopefully more promising after Anura Kumara Dissanayake won last month's presidential election, the first candidate not connected to a political dynasty. Dr Ahilan Kadirgamar, a political economist and senior lecturer at the University of Jaffna, shares his take on how a Dissanayake administration might address the current economic state the country is experiencing after it declared bankruptcy in 2022.Image Credit: Shutterstock.com

But the Green Memorial Hospital is in the Northern province of Jaffna, a strong Tamil district and during out time the war was still active..... Everyone was very polite but clear, explaining as gently as they could that the troubles precluded them sending anyone with us to Jaffna and certainly not allowing us on the trains where murder was not uncommon.

"Little Jaffna" de Lawrence Valin raconte l'histoire de Michael, un policier français d'origine tamoule qui, après avoir infiltré un gang tamoul dans le but de le démembrer, commence à percevoir son pays d'origine d'une manière douteuse, remettant en question ses propres choix moraux. The post “Little Jaffna”, interview avec le réalisateur Lawrence Valin appeared first on Fred Film Radio.

Professor Su. Vithiananthan was a great educator, researcher and Tamil scholar from Sri Lanka. He was the Head of the Tamil Department at the University of Peradeniya and later the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Jaffna. His birth centenary (May 8, 1924) was celebrated recently by his students and Tamil activists - பேராரிசிரியர் சு. வித்தியானந்தன் அவர்கள் ஈழத்தின் ஒரு சிறந்த கல்வியாளரும், ஆய்வாளரும், தமிழறிஞரும் ஆவார். பேராதனைப் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் தமிழ்த் துறைத்தலைவராகவும், பின்னர் யாழ்ப்பாணப் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தின் துணைவேந்தராகவும் பணிபுரிந்தவர். 1924ஆம் ஆண்டு மே மாதம் 8ஆம் தேதி பிறந்த அவரது நூற்றாண்டு நிறைவை அவரது மாணவர்களும் தமிழ் ஆர்வலர்களும் சிறப்பாகக் கொண்டாடியிருக்கிறார்கள்.

Taking home this year's prize is US writer and journalist V V Ganeshananthan for her second novel, ‘Brotherless Night', which took her almost two decades to complete. Her debut novel, ‘Love Marriage', was longlisted for the Women's Prize in 2009. ‘Brotherless Night' is the story of Sashi, a 16-year-old aspiring doctor, growing up in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, in the 1980s. The novel vividly and compassionately centres erased and marginalised stories – Tamil women, students, teachers, ordinary civilians – exploring the moral nuances of violence and terrorism against a backdrop of oppression and exile. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Southasia Review of Books Podcast from Himal Southasian, where we speak to celebrated authors and emerging literary voices from across Southasia. In this episode, the novelist V V Ganeshananthan joins host Shwetha Srikanthan, assistant editor at Himal Southasian, to talk about the books that define her latest novel, Brotherless Night, and women's writing on Sri Lanka's long history of anti-Tamil violence. V V Ganeshananthan, also known as Sugi, is the author of the novels Brotherless Night (a New York Times Editors' Choice) and Love Marriage, which was longlisted for the Women's Prize and named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post. She also teaches in the MFA program at the University of Minnesota, where she is an associate professor of English, and co-hosts the Fiction/Non/Fiction podcast on Literary Hub, looking at the intersection of literature and the news. Brotherless Night, published in 2023, contends with the Sri Lankan civil war's end by returning to its beginning through the voice of Sashi, a young Tamil woman growing up in the northern city of Jaffna. As violence unfolds around Sashi, her four brothers and their friends, they navigate the complexities and contradictions of seeking political liberation while confronting the cruelty of the Sri Lankan government, Indian peacekeepers and Tamil militant groups. As the book's title lets on, there were huge costs to this war absorbed by young men in Sri Lanka's north and east, but there's also immense loss experienced by women - mothers, students, civilians and activists. Part of the success of Brotherless Night is that it's not only an essential contribution to writings on Sri Lanka's civil war, but it humanises the lived experiences of Tamil women and the ways in which they've been affected by anti-Tamil violence. Through Brotherless Night, Ganeshananthan poses urgent questions on whose stories are told and who gets to tell the stories and histories of conflict in Sri Lanka – which we explore further in this conversation. *** Southasia Review of Books is a podcast and a monthly newsletter that threads together our latest reviews and literary essays, with curated reading lists and all things books-related from Himal's extensive archive. A special reading list curated by V V Ganeshananthan will be featured in this month's Southasia Review of Books Newsletter. You can subscribe to Himal's newsletters at bit.ly/HimalNewsletters.

In the decade since the global financial crisis of 2007-8, a number of countries have faced and succumbed to sovereign-debt crises and declared bankruptcy. After Greece, Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Zambia, and Lebanon, Sri Lanka has recently joined the ranks of countries felled by economic downturn, whose harsh impact will be felt by its people for a long time to come. In this context, the question arises: what role have international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank played in these economic crises?  Have they helped or hurt the economic prospects of the Global South? To discuss this question, we are joined by Ahilan Kadirgamar, a political economist from the University of Jaffna in Sri Lanka, and Jamie Martin, a historian at Harvard University and the author of The Meddlers: Sovereignty, Empire, and the Birth of Global Economic Governance.

Ganeshananthan reads an excerpt and talks about working on the novel for almost 20 years with help from many readers; how Terrell's notes helped her with characterization; and how a comment from Sittenfeld altered the first line of the book and part of the plot.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

JJ Chalmers used to be a Royal Marine commando but since competing in the Invictus Games has been presenting the Olympic and Paralympic Games and appearing on Strictly Come Dancing. Today he welcomes you to Beyond Bombs, a new podcast brought to you by The HALO Trust, the world-leading charity that clears weapons from war zones so that people can rebuild their lives after conflict.  The shelling of Ukrainian cities has shown the world the horror of conflict in densely populated urban centres. For those of us tasked with clearing unexploded ordnance, the collapsed or ‘pancaked' concrete buildings that have been reduced to rubble by air or rocket propelled munitions presents an enormous challenge. In this episode, JJ speaks to Farid Houmayon, Programme Manager of HALO Afghanistan about the urban clearance of Kabul in the 1990s, Simon Conway on lessons learnt from Jaffna to Fallujah and how their experiences will inform HALO Ukraine manager Mairi Cunningham and her team in Kharkiv and the suburbs of Kyiv.

Dr Sabaratnam Prathapan was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. At the age of 19 he left for the UK and completed an Honours Degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Brighton. He worked for four years as an engineer in the UK before relocating to Singapore where he took up a position lecturing at an institute of higher education. During this period he saw a position advertised at the then Darwin Community College. He applied for the job but thought nothing further about it. Around six months later, he received a telegram inviting him to attend an interview in Darwin. He didn't know where Darwin was but he had a sister in Sydney, so he thought he would go for the interview and then go to Sydney to see his sister. He attended the interview in a suit and tie as was customary in England. His three interviewers were in shorts! Prath went onto Sydney and whilst there received the offer of employment from Darwin Community College. It was 1977. Prath has devoted 44 years of his life to what is now Charles Darwin University. He became Deputy Vice Chancellor but never gave up teaching. But it is not just in academics that Prath has made a contribution to the Territory. He was President of the Australian Institute of Engineers (NT), President of the Rotary Club (NT) and President of the Hindu Society. He was instrumental in building the Hindu temple and Harmony Hall in Malak, a northern suburb of Darwin. Now in semi-retirement Prath has been nominated District Governor of the Rotary Club, Northern Division, which takes in Central and North Queensland, as well as the Top End and East Timor. He has been married for 44 years and has two sons, both of who have established careers in the foreign service and accounting respectively. This is Prath's Territory Story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/territorystory/message

Sri Lanka has been the site of dramatic economic and political upheaval over the past several weeks as years of economic mismanagement have resulted in rampant inflation, shortages of essential commodities, and the country's first sovereign default in the post-independence era. The island's dire economic conditions have spurred angry, and sometimes violent, protests which resulted in the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and continued calls for the resignation of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the country's president and the prime minister's brother.To discuss the economic and political causes and consequences of this crisis, Milan is joined on the show this week by political economist Ahilan Kadirgamar. Ahilan is Senior Lecturer at the University of Jaffna and one of Sri Lanka's leading political economists. Ahilan and Milan discuss the tense situation on the ground, the economic roots of the current crisis, and the prospects for a return to wide-scale violence. Plus, the two discuss India's role in extending an economic lifeline to Sri Lanka and whether the island nation can put a decades-old legacy of ethnic strife behind it.“Rethinking Sri Lanka's economic crisis,” Interview with Ahilan Kadirgamar, Himal South Asian, February 28, 2022.Ahilan Kadirgamar, “Polarization, Civil War, and Persistent Majoritarianism in Sri Lanka,” in Thomas Carothers and Andrew O'Donohue, eds., Political Polarization in South and Southeast Asia: Old Divisions, New Dangers (Washington, D.C.: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2020).Ahilan Kadirgamar, "Sri Lanka stares at bankruptcy or redemption," The Hindu, April 16, 2022.Ahilan Kadirgamar.

Sri Lanka is currently facing its worst economic crisis since the country gained independence in 1948. This is an analysis by Dr Ahilan Kadirgamar-Senior Lecturer , University of Jaffna. - இலங்கையில் கடும் பொருளாதார நெருக்கடி ஏற்பட்டுள்ள பின்னணியில் அங்குள்ள தற்போதைய நிலை தொடர்பிலும் இதற்கான காரணம் தொடர்பிலும் விளக்கமளிக்கிறார் யாழ் பல்கலைக்கழக சிரேஷ்ட விரிவுரையாளர் கலாநிதி அகிலன் கதிர்காமர் அவர்கள். அவரோடு உரையாடுகிறார் றேனுகா துரைசிங்கம்.

With severe shortage of food, cooking gas, and other essential items, sky-rocketing fuel prices and record-high inflation, Sri Lanka is battling its worst economic crisis in over several decades. A critical shortfall of foreign currency had led to a massive reduction in imports of essential items. This nightmarish situation has crippled the lives of common citizens who have been waiting in long queues across the country for groceries and fuel. At least two elderly men reportedly died in different parts of the country waiting for petrol and kerosene oil.  As anger against the government grows, troops have been deployed outside state-run petrol pumps to thwart protests that have been breaking out sporadically. The economic meltdown has also affected millions of students, with the country cancelling school exams after running out of printing paper. Amid dwindling fuel supplies, there have also been long spells of power outage for several weeks now, with some blackouts lasting for as long as seven hours. Unable to eke out a living at home, some citizens are even resorting to flee to India. So far, a total of 16 Sri Lankan refugees from Jaffna and Mannar arrived at Tamil Nadu in a boat, on 22 March in hopes of restarting their lives. But what are the various factors that led to such an unprecedented scale of economic crisis in the first place? How did the country fall into this vortex of debts? What is Sri Lanka doing to stave off this crisis? As India extends $1-billion line of credit as assistance to the cash-strapped nation, will this move help India geopolitically?

I have written that Tamils spread throughout the world in ancient times. They settled around the world along with people who were following Sanatana Dharma. Tamils were the forerunners of Hitties,Elamitites,Incas and Mayas. Evidence of Tamil presence has been found in Oman and other areas surrounding it. There had been vigorous trade going on between Tamils and people of the rest of the world due to the strong Naval, power,especially the Cholas. The traders were called Thisai Vanigar Einootruvar,Corporation of 500 Traders. ‘ Salient points. 1.The Tamils had a business corporation, consisted of businessmen who traded within India and abroad. 2.The group was called Thisai vanigar Einootruvar, 5oo traders who trade throughout the world. This reference to 500 appears around 9th century AD. However there is another, generally accepted group is called Thisai vanigar Aayirathu Einootruvar, that is 1500 people. The reference is found in Silappadikaram, a Tamil Classic. World's First Business Corporation The trade relations were so close that each had established a colony for themselves in the other country. Thus we have Roman colony unearthed near Madurai,Tamil Nadu. Augustus Temple in Musiri Roman Colony in Madurai There was a colony of Tamil people in Egypt around 300 BC . ‘Berenice (Berenike) or Berenice Troglodytica (Greek: Βερενίκη), also known as Baranis, is an ancient seaport of Egypt on the west coast of the Red Sea. It is situated about 825 km south of Suez and 260 km east of Aswan in Upper Egypt….. It was founded in 275 BC by Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–246 BC), who named it after his mother, Berenice I of Egypt.[3] Troglodytica refers to the aboriginal people of the region, the “Troglodytai” or “cave dwellers”. Although the name is attested by several ancient writers, the more ancient Ptolemaic inscriptions read Trogodytai (which G.W.B. Huntingford has speculated could be related to the same root as Tuareg). It is possible that later copyists confused this name with the more common term Troglodytai…. Excavations were launched at Berenike in 1994 by a team of archaeologists from the University of Delaware led by Prof. Steven E. Sidebotham, with partners from several other institutions and continued until 2001. Work was resumed by teams from the University of Delaware and the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology, University of Warsaw, Poland, in the winter of 2007/2008 and is still continuing.[6] A large number of significant finds have been made providing evidence of the cargo from the Malabar Coast and the presence of Tamil people from South India and Jaffna being at this last outpost of the Roman Empire. “Among the unexpected discoveries at Berenike were a range of ancient Indian goods, including the largest single concentration (7.55 kg) of black peppercorns ever recovered in the classical Mediterranean world (“imported from southern India” and found inside a large vessel made of Nile silt in a temple courtyard); substantial quantities of Indian-made fine ware and kitchen cooking ware and Indian style pottery; Indian-made sail cloth, basketry, matting, etc. from trash dumps; a large quantity of teak wood, black pepper, coconuts, beads made of precious and semi-precious stones, cameo blanks; “a Tamil Brahmi graffito mentioning Korra, a South Indian chieftain”; evidence that “inhabitants from Tamil South India (which then included most of Kerala) were living in Berenike, at least in the early Roman period”; evidence that the Tamil population implied the probable presence of Buddhist worshippers; evidence of Indians at another Roman port 300 km north of Berenike; Indian-made ceramics on the Nile road; a rock inscription mentioning an Indian passing through en route; “abundant evidence for the use of ships built and rigged in India”; and proof “that teak wood (endemic to South India), found in buildings in Berenike, had clearly been reused”(from dismantled ships).” Reference and citation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message
