By our correspondent

Melbourne: Those refugees (asylum seekers) on the Australian ship an-chored in Indonesian waters seem determined not to accept getting down in Indonesia and stay in an Australian funded detention centre. It is clear they want to come to Australia as asy-lum seekers fleeing the now defunct civil war between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan Army. As a nation which understands its international duties, an Australian ship picked up these people in distress at sea. Once on the Austral-ian ship, the asylum seekers became our responsibility. But it is also a fact that those who apply for refugee status

mainly come by plane. The politicians seem to have an obsession with boat people.

The opposition Libs sniping instantly at the government for not protecting its borders, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd went in for the Indonesian solution of unloading this human cargo in Indone-sia. A solution not different from John Howards Pacific solution, Kevin Rudd’s Indonesian solution has run into rough weather. The Libs are happy seeing the Rudd government cornered on the issue and are demanding the strict mandatory systems put in place by John Howard and abandoned by Kevin Rudd , be reintroduced.

The type of political hypocrisy and political football being played speaks for itself. The Libs who had the Pacific Solution now oppose the Indonesian solution. But also do not say whether the fellows on the Australian ship be brought to Charismas Island for pos-sessing their refugee claims. Labour who opposed the Pacific solution are now all for a similar Indonesian solu-tion. So, both the major parties are divided and are in a dilemma of sorts. Obviously, no sane person can sup-port the inhuman mandatory systems of the Howard regime. Labour rightly abandoned them. But sooner or later it has also to take a final decision about

Boat people, humane solution a must

From the 10th of October, the second in a series of significant changes to the M1 will come online, as the new off-ramp from the Bolte Bridge to the West Gate Freeway and the new Kings Way exit open.

Dedicated Exit Lanes are another important component of the M1 upgrade. These ‘separation by destination’ lanes keep you moving towards your exit, reducing the need for merging and weaving.

Because the M1 has changed significantly, you will need to change the way you drive. So please take the time to plan your journey, look out for the new directional signs and choose your lane early. We’ve still got a lot of work on the $1.39 billion M1 upgrade. It’s all part of the Victorian Government’s ongoing Transport Plan to ease congestion and provide a safer, more reliable journey for Melburnians moving forward.

Victorian Premier celebrates Diwali with Indian Community members

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has admit-ted he does not know the status of 78 Sri Lankan asylum seekers aboard an Australian customs vessel in Indonesian waters.

The ethnic Tamils, who are refusing to leave the Oceanic Viking, have report-edly been living in Indonesia for years.Citing written messages thrown off the ship, Fairfax newspapers reported group members as saying they had been in Indonesia for up to five years, and had been accepted by Jakarta's United Na-tions High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office as genuine asylum seekers.

Mr Rudd said he knew nothing about the news."The UNHCR has got responsibil-ity for processing the individuals on this particular vessel," he told reporters in Canberra. "I am unaware of what the outcome of any ... initial processing or initial discussions may be concern-ing their status - that is a matter for the UNHCR."

Asked if Australian officials had inter-viewed those aboard the boat, Mr Rudd said: "I'm unaware of where all that is up

to." Opposition Leader Malcolm Turn-bull was also remaining non-committal, refusing to be drawn on whether a future coalition government would adopt previ-ous prime minister John Howard's tough stance on asylum seekers.

"When we come into government, after the next election, presumably a year from now, we will examine all of the options, including the policies that we had in place at the last election," he told Network Ten.

He did say, however, that if the latest news on the Sri Lankans was true, it contradicted the government's state-ments that push factors - such as war - were behind the recent increase in peo-ple seeking asylum in Australia."If these people had left Sri Lanka five years ago to Indonesia then that completely demol-ishes Kevin Rudd's argument that his changes to our domestic policies ... have had no influence on this surge," he said.

Family First senator Steve Fielding said it was clear Labor's border protection policies were responsible for the influx.

"People smugglers are using these laws

to send more people our way," he told Network Ten. "That is a huge concern. Something needs to be done."

The group was meant to be offloaded from the Oceanic Viking under a deal struck between Mr Rudd and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, but they have not budged for a fortnight.

"This is our boat, it's been hijacked by the refugees, and the Rudd government hasn't got a clue what to do," Senator Fielding said. "The Rudd government has a band-aid solution. The Indonesian solution is an Indonesian fiasco and it's clearly not working."

Australian Greens senator Sarah Han-son-Young said an Australian solution to the asylum seeker issue was required, one that was practical, long-term and humane.

"The prime minister, the leader of the opposition and all the other parties in the parliament - including the Greens - should be putting our heads together and coming up with a real solution," she told ABC TV. Senator Hanson-Young called on the government to accept the 78 Tamils, saying she feared they would be forcibly removed from the Oceanic Viking and put back into Indonesian detention centres otherwise.

Luthar UthayakumarSix months ago, when Sri Lanka was caught in the last phases of the conflict, when people were dying in their hundreds, if not thousands, each day, when the Secretary General of the UN described the situation in Sri Lanka as the greatest humanitarian tragedy facing the world, Sri Lanka hardly ever got a mention in headline news in Australia. But then it happened; a few of those Sri Lankans, whom the media managed to ignore, started to arrive in Australia in rickety boats. They could not be ignored anymore. One journalist from The Australian newspaper even went to Negombo to interview the so called people smugglers, and the ABC’s well known Tony Jones challenged Liberal front bencher Peter Dutton during Q and A “Why don’t Australian MPs pack up their bags, get off their bottoms and go and find out what is going on in these camps [in Sri Lanka]. Sri Lanka moved to the centre of mainstream conversation in Australia.

Neither Australia nor Sri Lanka can no longer claim that the problem in Sri Lanka is an internal matter for Sri Lanka alone. The wider argument here is that in today’s world, the effects of a humanitarian crisis in one part of the world cannot be contained within just that part of the world. The flow of refuges out of Sri Lanka will stop only when life in Sri Lanka improves. It means a permanent political solution, ending impunity, recovering the economy, and freeing and enabling the re-settlement of IDPs. Until that happens no amount of persuading will make these people seriously believe that leaving – even in leaky boats - carries a greater risk than staying. The outflow of refugees will continue, all the while the message these refugees will be giving the world is that the problems facing Sri Lanka are also problems facing the world.

The boats from Sri Lanka have started to arrive when party politics in Australia

Lankan asylum seekers and domestic politics in Australia

is approaching a particularly sensitive moment. The opposition Liberal party is in deep trouble: Plagued with quibbles over leadership, the party is unable to take a coherent position on the crucial ETS (Energy Trading Scheme) bill, which the government is keen on getting through parliament before the Copenhagen summit (on climate change) later this year. If the Liberals block the ETS bill, it will give Prime Minister Rudd the trigger to go for a double-dissolution election, and in an election fought on environmental issues in all probability the result will be that of the electoral decimation of the Liberal party. On the other hand, if the leadership of the Liberal party comes to some agreement with the government and lets the bill through (with some modifications) then Mr Turnbull is likely to face a rebellion from his own (conservative) bank-bench. In the backdrop of this impasse, when the boats started to arrive, some in the party saw it as a God sent opportunity. They quickly moved to adopt a tested rhetoric that had worked for them in the past: ‘The hoards have arrived’, and ALP policies were somehow to blame. The boats enabled the Liberals to send a warning to the ALP. If there was going to be a double dissolution election, even if it was going to be triggered by environmental issues, there is nothing to guarantee that it would be fought on environmental issues alone. The warning had the word ‘Tampa’ written all over it. The boats have been more than useful for the Liberals.

On the other side of politics, one has to agree that since the ALP came to power the treatment of refugees have

become much more humane. Temporary protection visas have been abolished, children have been freed from camps, waiting times have reduced, and the Pacific solution abandoned. These are all in line with election promises made by the ALP before the last election. It should also be noted that so far the government has stood firm against irresponsible attempts by the opposition and some sections of the media to create xenophobia and fear. But I am not sure whether this resilience will last, if the pressure keeps mounting, and already some cracks are beginning to show. The so called Indonesian solution is a cynical attempt to manipulate international law – being loyal to the letter of the law, while violating its spirit – Kevin Rudd made many remarks against such lawyerly manipulations of the law by the Liberals, during his election campaign, but is now resorting to doing the same thing. The cracks showed again when in parliament Mr Rudd referred to asylum seekers as illegal immigrants. A degree of tension is becoming observable. On the one hand there is remarkable resolve to stay tuned to humanitarian principles, but on the other one senses a tendency to move towards a ‘seen to be tough’ – ‘me tooism’ in order to neutralise the issue in a possible election year. It will be tragedy if only the latter prevails

The hidden moral tragedy underneath all this is that people who have been made refugees by one of the most gruesome civil wars of this century are being turned into political pawns. Resisting this should be one of the key advocacy tasks of the Sri Lankan community in Australia. While we should work ceaselessly towards improving things in Sri Lanka, we should also recognise the need to protect those who for some reason have decided to flee. We should demand that the UNHCR recognise that those who flee Sri Lanka are genuine refugees and that it should ensure their safety and dignity, including when they are in the so-called transit countries. In Australia, we should make a forceful plea to both political parties that given the humanitarian disaster behind the current flow of refugees, it should not be used as an election issue, because to do so would be nothing more than plain immoral.

Is the Congress, which is emerging stronger with every assembly election in the aftermath of its unexpected success in the May Lok Sabha elections, getting firm with its allies?

PUSHPA IYENGAR

Orchestrated Defiance

Is the Congress, which is emerging stronger with every assembly election in the aftermath of its unexpected success in the May Lok Sabha elections, getting firm with its allies? That seems to be the case as the volte- face by Karunanidhi on Jairam Ramesh, union minister for environment and forests, and the curious case of the CBI on the telecom ministry headed by A Raja shows. And now comes yet another about turn by CM Karunanidhi who was all set to spew fire and brimstone first at Jairam Ramesh, then pencilled in Kerala for the treatment but has retreated. A meeting scheduled in Madurai on November 1 to condemn Jairam Ramesh – whose ministry gave permission to Kerala to conduct a survey as a precursor to building a dam to replace the 114-year-old Mullaiperiyar dam (a standing committee of the National Board of Wildlife chaired by Ramesh had given the go ahead to Kerala) – was to go ahead except that its changed agenda was to vilify Kerala. The Madurai meeting which was to have Karunanidhi addressing and his son, M K Azhagiri, union minister for chemicals and fertilizers, presiding was to show that the DMK can read the riot act to its ally, the Congress. But Karunanidhi’s announcement in party organ, Murasoli, showed that the DMK thought better of provoking its ally which seems to be in a mood to flex its muscle in the changed political scenario.

Karunanidhi is down on his luck with the Supreme Court declining to give in to TN’s plea to order a stay on the ongoing survey. Karunanidhi has to battle political parties, chiefly AIADMK’s Jayalalitha who has accused him of not doing enough to protect TN’s rights. When he called the Madurai meeting to condemn Jairam Ramesh, Jayalalitha was derisive saying the move was “absurd” and what Karunanidhi should do is walk out of the UPA. Obviously that is not something he is not willing to do, and therefore with so little room to manoeuvre he was going to target Kerala instead. Ironically the Kerala CM gave him a rope saying it was Jayalalitha’s shrillness that had prompted him to take such an intransigent position on Mullaiperiyar.

The spin DMK sources gave for the CM’s change of heart was, “If it was a condemnation meeting against a minister, it will be construed as one against the UPA government. The state will not gain by blaming the centre, which has to give several more clearances before a dam is built. Our idea is to highlight the fact that a new dam is not necessary.”

The history books say…. Incidentally, the Supreme Court had in 2006 allowed TN’s plea to increase the storage level in Mullaiperiyar dam from the current 136 ft to 142 ft, which Kerala has sought to nullify through legislation. It was during Jayalalitha’s time as CM that TN had approached the court to increase the storage level in the dam. Now she takes credit: “Though Kerala opposed this tooth and nail, we made such a powerful presentation of Tamil Nadu’s case that the Supreme Court allowed the storage level to be raised from 136 to 142 feet.”

On the day the court declined TN’s play for a stay on the survey, it had also rapped Kerala for adopting a tough posture on the inter-state water dispute. In July, the Kerala assembly had passed a unanimous resolution urging the centre to take the lead in building a new dam to replace the old Mullaperiyar dam located on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. In this context, opposition Congress leader Oomen Chandy said: “They need water and we need to look after our safety.”

It’s recent history that appears to have provoked Karunanidhi to retreat. He had got into a messy situation with the Supreme Court in October 2007 when he called a statewide bandh on the Sethusamudram issue. When he got wind of the Apex Court’s (which was hearing the case) displeasure, he rushed back to the secretariat to clear files, so that the court would not construe his action as defiance. Now he has attributed his latest retreat to the fact that the Mullaiperiyar issue is subjudice. Grist for the election mill But for TN’s assembly election scheduled for May 2011, the Mullaiperiyar issue is pregnant with promise as an election plank. The DMK’s aim is to up the ante on the issue so it can look good. And if the Congress looks bad, so much the better. Ever since Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi came here with the agenda of building the Congress, the DMK has been resentful and rattled because the Congress is slowly but surely reviving even in states like UP. The fact that Rahul did not pay obeisance to CM Karunanidhi is a slight that he will never forget. It appears that Jairam Ramesh – who has sworn he is half - Tamil and his wife Jayashree “100 per cent Tamil” – was being targeted because of his perceived closeness to Rahul Gandhi.

On the other hand, the DMK is confident that there will be a realignment of forces and maybe it will not need the Congress. Evidence of the shape of things to come came in the form of the PMK and left parties backing Karunanidhi’s plan to

hold a World Classical Tamil Conference in Coimbatore next year. The PMK is in search of an ally ever since it walked out of the AIADMK alliance (which itself was forged conveniently for the Lok Sabha poll) protesting against the court case filed by former minister C V Shanmugham seeking to implicate founder S Ramadoss and his kin in a case of violence in the run-up to the 2006 Assembly elections.

The left parties have made it clear that they were part of the AIADMK alliance only for the Lok Sabha poll. Besides, they have already broken ranks with the AIADMK by contesting the five bypolls recently whereas Jayalalitha boycotted the elections. So, the rainbow coalition minus the Congress is a distinct possibility. But since politics is the art of the unpredictable, the DMK apparently thought discretion will serve it better and hence, its retreat.

The Congress, for its part, is likely to test the waters on its own. And since it wants to keep the DMK guessing, the CBI raided the offices of the telecom department. Despite Raja’s angry protestations, its elementary to deduce that a raid on the department is tantamount to embarrassing Raja who has already been under a cloud for giving 2G spectrum for peanuts and losing the government Rs 60,000 crores.

Raja has left the building It would be laughable if it was not true. But the CB-CID says it cannot find Erode MLA and former Handlooms minister N K K P Raja, since his discharge from a hospital in Erode on October 24. Raja was expelled by the DMK, the same party which rules the government and it’s no secret that the police takes its orders from the ruling government. But the CB-CID is entitled to be confused at the mixed signals from the powers that be because the DMK expelled him and simultaneously appointed his father, N K K Periyasamy, as the Erode district in charge of the DMK. Refusing to comment on Raja’s expulsion, Periyasamy said: “Son and party are different. If you have any questions, ask the party high command.”

That’s how powerful Raja’s family which also owns a cable TV company, is in Erode. Powerful enough to kidnap Sivabalan (who had deposed before the Bhavani judicial magistrate court last July that Raja’s men kidnapped and kept him in their custody at Bangalore) to get his parents to hand over land last year. While the party – which then removed him as the handloom minister – was hoping Raja would lie low, the former minister brazenly called Sivabalan to his farmhouse on October 21and had him beaten up and later claimed that he and his second wife, Uma Maheshwari had been thrashed. This, despite the high court laying down the condition,

while giving him anticipatory bail, not to threaten witnesses in the land grabbing case where he figures 14th among the 30 accused.

It never rains, it poursIt is what can only be termed as a vote of no-confidence in the flood management of the city, the fire service department has purchased 44 inflatable boats worth Rs 53 lakh to rescue people caught in monsoon floods. “We already have 53 boats and these additional boats (each can carry 10 people and also have life jackets) will come in handy,” said R Natraj, director of fire and rescue services. Rains have finally come to Chennai and if the rains last November, that came in the wake of Cyclone Aila, are going to be repeated, the boats might well come in handy. Last year, large parts of the metropolis were

submerged for days, exposing the bad flood management by the corporation.

It’s just as well the Anna University is in the process of preparing a first-ever contour map of the city and its suburbs – which is expected to be ready by February 2010 – that will determine the run-off pattern of water so authorities can take mitigatory measures.

The Rs 2.17-crore project, called the Flood Risk Mapping Study, is being funded by the Public Works Department and the Centre’s department of science and technology. It was mooted by the state government soon after the 2005 floods, which saw the city go under sheets of water. Anna University’s Institute of Remote Sensing is preparing a digital elevation model of the city with the help of an Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper (ALTM), a high-accuracy laser rangefinder that scans the terrain from a helicopter. “It was the first time ALTM was used in India or in southeast Asia. Once the digital elevation model is ready, we will process it into a contour map, which should be ready by February 2010,” said Prof M Ramalingam. So, the fire services can consider its money well spent because those boats are going to come handy this year.

Australian Sailor Awarded Prestigious Solomon Islands MedalThe Australian High Commissioner for Solomon Islands, HE Mr Frank Ingruber, WO Mike Winter and Mrs Dawn Winter.

Warrant Officer Michael Winter is a Navy Physical Training Instructor working at the Australian High Commission in the Solomon Islands and this week he had the unusual honour of being awarded the Solomon Islands Medal (Silver) for his “dedicated & voluntary commitment in the development of sports in Solomon Islands and to other charitable services.”

WO Winter played an active role in initiating fitness programs and equipped the only gymnasium in Honiara with modern fitness equipment. Warrant Officer Winter conducted fitness classes and as a result there are now 60 women attending classes. He has also recruited the services of other expatriates living in the Solomon Islands to assist with fitness classes, in a voluntary capacity.

“To be awarded the Solomon Islands Medal (Silver) gives me the satisfaction and joy of knowing that I have been recognized by a foreign country for my contribution in the field of sport in another land. For this I am a proud Australian and a very proud member of the RAN, as I learned my trade as a serving member of the RAN”, said Warrant Officer Winter

Warrant Officer Winter also provides fitness training to local soccer and netball teams, and was approached by the National soccer coach to be their fitness trainer, a position he unfortunately had to decline due to a lack of spare time - hardly surprising with all of his volunteer work!

As an active member of the Catholic Church in Honiara, Warrant Officer Winter also assisted the church in raising enough money to send 450 Solomon youths to the World Youth Conference in Sydney in 2008.

Warrant Officer Winter has been instrumental in resurrecting the game of Cricket in the Solomon Islands. Once it was a game played every week and enjoyed by the people of the Island before the tension put a stop to it. He captained the Prime Minister’s XI this year, and finished 3rd in the competition, which the PM was very pleased about. Especially being a cricket enthusiast himself, he is elated that cricket is back on the sporting agenda.

Warrant Officer Winter’s posting to the Solomon Islands concludes in November and he will be returning home to Australia to take up a position as the Ship’s Warrant Officer.

these people if they continue to resist moving to an Indonesian detention centre.

Obviously, the best option is to imme-diately take them to Christmas Island where the immigration authorities can process their refugee claims. This is likely to inflame the Libs who are busy trying to get maximum political mileage out of the issue.

A story by Claire Harvey, The Sunday Telegraph (October 25, 2009) in the news.com.au tells us that the boat people represent just a small fraction of Australia’s intake is just a fraction of our intake. It says every day at least 13 asylum-seekers enter Aus-tralia through airports, representing 30 times the number of boat people that are supposedly "flooding" across our maritime borders. A total of 4768 "plane people" - more than 96 per cent of applicants for refugee status - ar-rived by aircraft in 2008 on legitimate tourist, business and other visas com-pared with 161 who arrived by boat during the same period, the Sunday Telegraph reports.

And plane people are much less likely than boat people to be genuine refugees, with only about 40-60 per cent granted protection visas, and compared with 85-90 per cent of boat people who are found to be genuine refugees. In 2007-08, 3987 claims were received and 1930 of these were approved.

Exact plane-people figures for 2009 are not yet available, but an Immigra-tion Department spokesman said the figure was likely to have increased at a similar rate to that of boat arrivals, which grew from 161 to 1799 since last

year, in response to increased pres-sures within the region, including the end of civil war in Sri Lanka.

An analysis by The Sunday Telegraph of immigration records shows that Sri Lankans represented more than 28 per cent of "plane people" who successful-ly applied for protection visas in 2007-08, followed by Chinese (26 per cent), Iraqis (14 per cent) and Pakistanis (7.6 per cent). Of the plane people found to be non-genuine refugees, many are Indonesian, Malaysian, Indian and Chinese.

Chinese represent 30 per cent of plane people who apply for refuge, followed by Sri Lankans (8 per cent), Malay-sians, Indonesians, Iraqis and then Indians. Australia will take 13,750 refu-gees through its humanitarian program in 2009-10, an increase of 250 on last year.

The story adds: Politicians' "expedient obsession" with boat people is cloud-ing the truth about Australia's refugee flows, according to migration law ex-pert Professor Mary Crock, of Sydney University Law School.

"It's a great mystery why people get upset about boats -- and it's disap-pointing that our Prime Minister is playing to the old politics," Professor Crock said.

"We have a small number of arrivals and the ones who arrive by boat are nearly always genuine refugees."

Also, compared to countries like Italy, Norway, France, Pakistan, Syria, India etc, only a fraction of people get refu-gee status entry into Australia. It is not time to resurrect Howard policies on refugees but to show a humane solu-tion to the stalemate. These asylum seekers should be processed under our laws.

Boat people, humane solution a must

‘INNER PEACE FOR WORLD PEACE – SERVE SRI LANKA’

SPECIAL PROJECT TO SERVE SRI LANKA

At this present time there is unending conflict, disputes and war which are ripping apart many nations, causing immense peacelessness, sorrow and suffering to man-kind. Some countries like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and many African, Middle-Eastern and South Asian countries have been in a state of unrest for many years.

Everyone aspires for peace to be restored and many dialogues, conferences and peace treaties have been formulated year after year, with no result.

How can we really establish peace in any particular nation or in the world as a whole? Is it merely a dream that can never be achieved?

As we know the famous saying “war begins in the mind of humans” likewise, peace can only be established within the peaceful minds of individuals. Therefore, it is only possible if each one of us contribute to world peace by spending a few minutes each day by praying or meditating i.e. to think positively to achieve world peace. We may wonder if that is possible. Well, it is undeniable that the human mind has the greatest potential to uplift or to destroy the world. Let us bring a heavenly world by first of all creating peace within our own minds to influence the world positively.

To assist this process, we would like to launch a CD in Tamil entitled ‘INNER PEACE FOR WORLD PEACE – SERVE SRI LANKA’ to encourage people, especially the Tamils around the world, to spend time in meditation and positive contemplation to assist in the process of easing the condition in Sri Lanka (one of the most troubled countries at this moment in time).

The Tamil Senior Citizens Association, Melbourne will be launching this program “In-ner Peace for World Peace – Serve Sri Lanka” by promoting this special meditation CD at their monthly meeting on 21 November 2009. Brahma Kumaris wish to promote this project especially amongst the Tamil community. For further details, please con-tact BK Sarala or BK Christine at Brahma Kumaris Fitzroy, Melbourne Tel: (03) 9417 4883 / 9419 7877.

This speech was delivered at Mural room, Parliament, Canberra at 29-10-2009.

There are several controversial reports on the conditions of the IDPs housed in the camps. In this speech Dr. Noel Nadesan analyses clinically, without political biases, the realistic conditions that prevail in the IDP camps. This is a first-hand report that is a must read to get behind the political spin that has dis-torted the realities of the conditions faced by the IDPs.

The armed resistance from among the Tamils living in the northern and eastern provinces had spanned a period of thirty years, before being brought to a dramat-ic end on the 18th May, 2009.

It is not my intention to discuss the rea-sons for the armed resistance, here-in. However, the armed resistance identi-fied with the Tamil minority within Sri Lanka, evolved over time into a civil war, where the armed forces of Sri Lanka were pitted against the armed forces of the LTTE. The LTTE had established the rudiments of a state within the island and had developed the military structures to be on par or in some instances superior to those of the Sri Lankan state. How-ever, what was deemed impossible was accomplished by the Sri Lankan armed forces on the 18th of May, this year.

The LTTE combined conventional, and Guerilla warfare, with a heavy sprinkling of various acts of terrorism in its opera-tions against the Sri Lankan state and its peoples, including Tamils. The details of this act of terrorism are well known to you and need not be elaborated.

However, the lasting legacy of the just ended civil war, are the large number of 'Internally Displaced Persons' scat-tered around the island, with the biggest concentration in Vavuniya.

The IDPs in Sri Lanka can be classified into several categories: 1.The Tamils who have scattered to vari-ous parts of the south of their free-will, to escape the ravages of war, includ-ing LTTE and Sri Lankan armed forces harassment. 2. The Tamils who were forced out of their normal habitations during the course of the war and had to be accom-modated in camps by the government. 3. The Sinhala villagers who were forced out of the border villages, because of LTTE terrorism. 4. The Muslims who were forcibly driven out of the northern province by the LTTE, and are living in camps in Puttalam for 20 years. 5. The Tamils who moved with the LTTE – either willingly or under compulsion- as the war progressed towards it culmina-tion starting when the LTTE was driven out of Jaffna. Approximately 300,000 Tamils crossed over to the government side as the war ended. Most of them are presently living in camps set up in the Chettiikulam area of the Vanni district.

There are also thousands of Tamils who have fled Sri Lanka to escape the rav-ages of war and are living in India, either in refugee camps or in freer conditions. There are also hundreds of thousands

of Tamils, who migrated both legally and illegally, to escape the conditions prevailing Sri Lanka, now living in the Western world. These are the 'Externally Displaced Persons', who are also the victims of the tragedy in Sri Lanka. They need to be remembered although, we are focusing today on the IDPs in Sri Lanka.

The concerns being expressed on the plight of the IDPs, are largely centered on those in the camps in Vavuniya. The Muslim IDPs in Puttalam and the 25,000 IDPs in the East are rarely mentioned. Further, the 'Internally displaced Sin-halese' are never thought of. The self-displaced Tamils living in the South are of course not considered 'Displaced' at all. Our plans for the future should cen-tre on all these people who were forced out of the places of residence and habi-tation by forces beyond their control.

Among the IDPs in Vavuniya are also thousand of men, women and children, who were participants in the war on behalf of the LTTE or were sympathetic towards its cause. Thousands have been identified and separated, while many more live amidst the IDP's in the camps. How these people, have to be treated and dealt with should be our concern too. They are also 'Displaced Persons' today and sooner or later have to find a place in society.

The recently displaced persons, who are living in the Vavuniya camps in large numbers and have been cleared of any LTTE involvement, of course should return to normal life, in their original habitations as soon as possible. There can be no dispute about this. However, when this is realistically possible is a subject of much debate, of a rancourous ,ill-informed and emotional nature.

The conditions in the Vavuniya camps have been described as akin to those in Nazi-type concentration camps by many who have not seen these camps and interacted with the people there. The presence of LTTE cadres within these camps makes it imperative that the camps be fenced for security reasons by the government. LTTE flags have been hoisted within these camps occasion-ally! Our team has visited these camps

twice and spent long hours there. On the first occasion we visited the Gamini Vidyalaya reception camp and the Kadirgamar IDP camp. On the second visit we visited the Kadirgamar camp and the zone- 4 camp. We have thus seen the plight of these refugees as they arrived from the war zone and how the conditions in the camps have improved between our first and second visits. We were given the freedom to move around within these camps and interact with the people on both occasions. We also have spoken to the ministers, military officials, the government agent and camp offi-cials, during our visits.

What we saw, heard and learnt are: 1.There is no major disease out breaks in these camps as alleged. 2. Mortality rates in these camps are comparable to those in any normal society. 3. The malnutrition visible during the first visit, had largely abated by the second. 4. The medical facilities within the camps are adequate and the sick have access to specialized care in the Vavuni-ya and Chettikulam hospitals. The more serious cases are taken to the Anurad-hapura and Colombo hospitals. 5. There are skin ailments and cases of chicken pox. The IDPs , when arriv-ing from the war zone already had skin diseases such as scabies. 6. No cases of rape by the armed forces were reported to us by the people we spoke. 7. The people were free to move around within the camps. 8. There were facilities for communal and individual cooking. Dry rations meet-ing international standards of basic nutri-tion are provided free at these camps. 9. The toilets constructed by the UN-HCR and the tents provided by it, were unsuitable for the climate and circum-stances. The government -built struc-tures were more climate- and people-friendly. 10. There are places allocated for visi-tors to meet the camp residents. 11. There are co-operatives stores, schools banks, libraries, temples and vocational training centers within these camps.

12. Adequate amounts of water are avail-able in these camps for drinking and bathing. However, people have to take their turns to get their drinking water or to have a bath. There are plenty of tube well outlets and tap outlets. But each has to be shared by many families. This is an inconvenience rather than a problem. 13. The officials- civil, military and Police- were friendly towards the people and this was reciprocated. There was no visible tension between the officials and the people. 14. The camps are of course crowded , but this was not a cause for complaint by the IDPs. 15. People were engaging in small scale trade and had established their back yard gardens. 16. There was a special area for the Brahmin families, because they are veg-etarians and have cultural and religious practices that are mandatory. 17. 54 NGO's and INGO's are working in the camps and providing services to the IDPs. 18. During our second visit in July. We observed that systems- trenches and drainage pipes- being installed to drain water, in anticipation of the rains. 19. Although almost everyone we spoke to wanted to return to their homes and villages as soon as possible, there was no demand that this take place immedi-ately. 20. Mr. Basil Rajapakse, showed us details of plans to re-build damaged infra-structure in the war torn areas and presented us details of what had been achieved. He also answered our ques-tions without any hesitation and in an open manner. 21. The people in the camps were relieved to have escaped from the hor-rible conditions in the war zone and were happy to be in a safe place. 22. The LTTE supporters, sympathizers and cadres within these camps are of course unhappy at the turn of events and can be suspected to be vocalizing exag-gerated stories about the conditions in these camps. We have experienced this ourselves.

From what we had seen and heard, we are convinced the IDPs cannot be sent back to their places of residence im-mediately. The majority in these camps are poor, daily wage earners. They need the infra-structure to provide them employment, health care, schooling and welfare support. Farming and trading activities should be possible in these areas, soon after they arrive. There should be facilities to give long-term care war the psychologically and physically traumatized. These areas should be free of landmines and arms. The security of these people should be assured.

The long term interests of these un-fortunate people should engage our conscience and financial resources, rather than scoring short-term political or emotional points. It should not be forgotten that although the conditions in these camps can be found fault with, they are much better that what would await these IDPs, if released from these camps immediately. These camps are temporary and the UNHCR demands they be temporary. The TNA demanded they be temporary, soon after the war ended. In fact the TNA accused the gov-ernment of trying establish new villages in these camps at that time! We cannot have it both ways.

Temporary camps will have their inad-equacies and meant to be so.

Let us work to ensure a better future for all IDPs in Sri Lanka and to ensure a united and prosperous Sri Lanka for all her people.

Sweden’s Foreign Minister denied visa

Sweden’s Foreign Minister has been de-nied entry to Sri Lanka, as thousands of civilians in the country’s war zone be-gin to receive help from aid agencies.He was supposed to participate in a mission there with French and British counterparts, but was told he could visit in May instead.He described the decision as very strange:[Carl Bildt, Swedish Foreign Minister]:“The Sri Lankan authorities have sud-denly said that they don’t accept me and I have just confirmed with David Miliband and Bernard Kouchner who said they will go anyhow. So it’s very strange behav-ior (Reporter asking: are you persona non grata?) I am not persona non grata because they say I am welcome any time but I am not intending to take up that invitation.”

Sri Lanka slams “hypocrisy” of the west

Sri Lanka has slammed the “hypocrisy” of some western countries over their behav-ior towards the island during recent times. A statement by the Defence Ministry said that some countries put a number of ridicu-lous demands on the Sri Lanka govern-ment, such as offering amnesty to the ter-rorists, allowing a third party to rescue the terrorist leaders and to go for a ceasefire. The statement did not name any country but it was reported recently that the US had called on the LTTE to surrender via a third party, a suggestion the government had rejected. “The ordeal that about 19 million people have been living with for more than quarter of a century is about to be over. It would never be too early to express our gratitude to all the great nations who genuinely helped us to come this far in this historic battle. Be-cause, the value of a sincere friend would never be so felt, as when one is beset by a group of hypocrites,” the statement post-ed on the Defence Ministry website said. It noted that on April 30 it was reported that the UN Security Council has no inter-

est in punishing Sri Lanka, by withholding funds that she needs at this moment but before that decision was taken, some coun-tries that portray themselves as the global guardians of human rights, had made sev-eral shameless attempts to recommend pu-nitive action against this poor third world country, struggling to rid itself of terrorism.

“Ironically, these so-called human rights champs tried to justify their claims say-ing that they were doing it for the safety of civilians, held at hostage by terrorists in island's North. Moreover, they put a number of ridiculous demands on the Sri Lanka government, such as offering am-nesty to the terrorists, allowing a third par-ty to rescue the terrorist leaders, go for a ceasefire, etc. Never did history unmask the hypocrisy and the sanctimony of the West-ern Powers than their behaviour towards Sri Lanka during recent times,” it said.

The statement meanwhile also said that the people of Sri Lanka are grateful for the wholehearted support given to them by India, Pakistan and the rest of the South Asian countries, China, Russia, Pakistan, Japan, Iran, Libya, Vietnam, Mid-East, African and Southeast Asian countries. “But for their understanding on our plight and the trust they placed on us, we would never be able to come this far in our battle against terrorism. It seems the international community has become more independent and therefore safer for poor countries like

Sri Lanka to stand up for their rights. At least, the people living in poor war affected countries like ours can now have hopes for achieving peace if their leaders are genuine enough to take appropriate action,” it said.

The Defence Ministry statement charged that all those diplomats, politicians, hu-man rights organizations that dance to the tune of LTTE propaganda are equally responsible of the plight of the civilians under the clutches of terror.

Defence Ministry rejects satellite images

he Defence Ministry today rejected sat-ellite imagery issued by the United Na-tions in support of allegations that se-curity forces shelled a civilian area.The defence ministry said the allega-tions based on UN aerial images post-ed on the UNOSAT website and used on several foreign television chan-nels had "no scientific validity" unless there was verification on the ground."Conclusions drawn from the interpretations of these images have no scientific validity," the ministry said, responding to reports the military had shelled an area the govern-ment itself had designated a no-fire zone.The pictures showed craters which were formed inside the zone between February 15 and April 19, the day be-fore the army breached the Tigers' de-fences and civilians started to pour out."The imagery is fairly clear and shows the time, so anybody can study and compare them," head of the mapping unit at UNO-SAT, Einer Bjorge stated. He said the pattern of the craters would have required air power.Sri Lanka has consistently denied it used heavy weapons against civilian popu-lated areas and last week announced it had ordered security forces not to use heavy calibre weapons and aerial strikes.The UN estimates that up to 50,000 civilians are trapped in a narrow strip of coast where the Tamil Tigers are putting up a last stand. Government forces have said only about 20,000 people were still left in the area.(AFP)

Shells hit hospital in no-fire zone

Artillery shells fired have hit a makeshift hospital in the no-fire zone. Patients and bystanders died in two attacks on Sat-urday, while another 87 were wounded, the government official, who declined to be identified, told news agencies.Dr T Varatharajah, a medical official work-ing at the hospital, told Al Jazeera: "Two days

before today and yesterday there were shell attacks on the hospital ... and today morn-ing there was two attacks, mainly in front of the hospital and other places as well.""Today two time shells fell in the hos-pital area totalling 60 to 70 persons dead, 87 persons got injury," he said.Satellite images"Most of these people already had inju-ries and were staying in the hospital."Varatharajah said that people were still ar-riving at the hospital for treatment but that supplies were low and some staff had left, making providing medical care difficult.Bigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, a mili-tary spokesman, denid there had been any attack on the hospital. (Al Jazeera)

Talks still on over bailout package: IMF

The IMF said Friday that talks with Sri Lanka for a bailout package of around two billion dollars were still continuing despite reports the fund was under pres-sure to withold the planned financing."Discussions with the authorities on an IMF-supported program are still ongoing," a spokesperson for the Washington-based fund told AFP when asked to comment on report-ed calls to withold the funding to encourage Colombo to do more to help civilians caught up in fighting with the rebel Tamil Tigers.

UN Chief wants Lasantha's killers prosecuted

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, in a statement ahead of World Press Freedom Day called on the govern-ment of Sri Lanka to ensure that those responsible for Lasantha Wickrematun-ga's murder are found and prosecuted.

You're free: Kishenji takes the 'Prisoner of War' poster off Sub-Inspector Dutta

Theatre of war NAXALISM IN INDIA Action. Drama. Sentiments. Tension mounts as Maoists and the state gear up for more battles By Rabi Banerjee

It was an eventful night. Chilling silence followed an armed Maoist’s shout in a part of Dohomina village in Lalgarh. The Maoist, in his mid thirties, asked the 50 journalists gathered there to sit quiet on the mud floor near a school ground.

“Do not shout. Do not click photos unless you are asked to. Just sit on the floor. We will show you something soon,” said a young gun-wielding rebel whose face was masked. His red eyes gleamed with intensity.

Silence prevailed. A life was at stake. The life of a police officer of the Left-ruled West Bengal. Sub-Inspector Atindranath Dutta had been kidnapped on October 19 after Maoists ambushed a police station, an act unheard of in the state.

About 50 guerillas led by a woman squad member had stormed the Sankrail police station in West Midnapore. They split into two groups. One killed the two policemen on duty, looted arms and am-munition and abducted Dutta, who was in his quarters opposite the station, on a motorcycle. The other robbed Rs 10 lakh from a nearby bank.

Two days later, in a surprise move, the national chief of the People’s Libera-tion Army and CPI (Maoists) politburo member Koteswara Rao—aka Kishenji—called journalists to his hideout in Lal-garh where he would release Dutta, who was branded as the first ever “Prisoner of War” in the Maoists vs State battles in India.

Kishenji arrived sporting a cap and covering his face with a towel. A self-loading rifle was slung on his shoulders. Minutes later, a relieved Dutta followed him, his hands held by two armed Mao-ist commanders. A poster on his chest read “Conference to Release Prisoner of War”.

Dutta smiled. He would soon get to see his wife, daughter and aged parents in Kolkata. Perhaps overwhelmed by relief,

he continued to smile even as Kish-enji criticised Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

Faced with intense criticism after the beheading of police inspector Francis Induwar in Jharkhand, the CPI (Maoist) was desperate for a face-lift. Moreover, Kishenji saw it as an opportunity to slam the Buddha government publicly for the first time.

“And he was successful in doing that,” said a state minister. “We were shocked to see him humiliate our government for an hour.”

Kishenji had made his points clear. After removing the PoW poster hung around Dutta’s neck, he said: “I am releasing you, poor OC [officer in charge]! But I have a word of caution for you. Look, OC babu, do not torture innocent tribal villag-ers anymore.

“I am releasing you for now. But, at the same time, I am asking you not to hurt feelings of the tribals, particularly that of tribal women. They are not Maoists. They are poor, they are innocent.

“If you love your parents, wife and child, you should love tribal women, children and aged people. I promised to your wife that I would return you if my small de-mands are met. I have kept my promise.”

Kishenji said he did not want any concession from Buddhadeb, and that he only demanded the release of 14 women, who “are innocent and have nothing to do with Maoists”.

He then turned towards the waiting journalists. “Have you seen how Bud-dhadeb used his police to torture tribal people?” he asked. “His cops raped and blinded women. They also sexually har-assed young women, often entering their homes at night.This government cannot respect tribal women. It’s a shame.”

His words—like a machinegun’s rat-a-tat—stung the government.

Union Railway Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, too, had slammed the Bengal government’s operation in Lalgarh and the Centre’s decision to send CRPF troops. Kishenji, however, felt Mamata was not sincere.

Then, Kishenji brought forward Kamala

Mahato, a sexagenarian woman. “Look at this mother. Buddhadeb’s coward policemen arrested her son while he was returning from Kolkata after buying medi-cines for his villagers. Can you imagine how far this cop went?” Kishenji asked pointing towards Dutta, who looked back in despair.

Kishenji said he was successful in get-ting 14 women released from jail, in return for Dutta’s release. The women were suspected of being Maoist sympa-thisers. Following Dutta’s abduction, the state government did not oppose their bail plea.

Kishenji said the poverty-stricken women were as innocent as Kamala’s son. “But, the frustrated policemen arrested and tortured them,” he said. Dutta had no choice but to concur. He even shook hands with the rebels, including Kishenji, and said: “The Maoists behaved gently with me. I think the government should engage in dialogue with Maoists, as they have some genuine grievances.”

Buddhadeb was stung badly. The next day he flew to Delhi for a party meeting. But, he first rushed to Home Minister P. Chidambaram. Later, a miffed Bud-dhadeb told the media: “I will teach the Maoists a lesson.”

The statement worried Sudharani Baske, 58, of Bansbere village. She is one among the 14 women who were released. On September 3, Sudharani and other women of the village were drumming and raising slogans against the CRPF and the police. “They were arresting our children. So we decided to protest,” she said.

Sudharani wept, and said they neither blocked any road, nor tried to harm anybody. “But the forces tried to forcibly enter our houses. When we resisted, they kicked us and threw us into a prison van,” she recalled.

Her lawyer Satyajit Sinha said the wom-en were charged with sections under the Arms Act and for sedition (waging war against the state). “But no arms were found from them,” he pointed out.

“Believe me, I have never even seen a gun. How could I possess one?” cried Sudharani. “Waging war against the state? Do we have enough physical strength to wage war? We are people who often miss our daily meals.”

Phulmoni Murmu, 20, had a similar story to tell: “Police started arresting youths. They wanted to know my broth-ers’ whereabouts. As I protested, they abused me and kicked me in my stom-ach, and put me in prison.”

Phulmoni and Sudharani were returning to Bansbere, thanks to Kishenji. “We do not know about the Maoists. But, we are grateful to anybody who helped us get out of jail. We are thankful to Kishenji, if

he was the one,” said Sudharani.

What if they are arrested again to teach the Maoists a lesson? “We will be help-less then. We will have to go to Kishenji, again,” said Phulmoni.

Kishenji seemed to have emerged as a symbol of hope for such women. Even if the Centre launches joint operations with the state forces of Jharkhand and Chhat-tisgarh and West Bengal in November, the rebels would fight on, as the women of the Jangalmahal area are with them.

“The people of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bengal and Orissa are with us. We will definitely win. Let Chidambaram fight the ongoing war more aggressively,” chal-lenged Kishenji.

A humiliated Buddhadeb wanted the onslaught immediately, but it is not going to be an easy war.

“Merely deploying forces without ad-dressing basic developmental issues will not work. The government would lose the people’s support forever, and it would pave way for permanent insurgency in these areas,” said a senior official in the state administration. Also, he added, the West Bengal Police was not morally fit enough.

“The police itself is not secure enough as Dutta’s abduction has proved. The Maoists have shown how, with people’s support, they could do whatever they want,” he said.

Dutta echoed the official’s words: “Police stations, particularly in naxal-affected areas, are not secure. Policemen live in fear.” When asked whether he would quit his job, the officer said: “Yes, I am giving it a serious thought... I am discussing it with my family and friends.”

In November, with this fear and insecuri-ty, the policemen would have to fight the next “decisive war” against the Maoists.

Just as one wondered when these bloody battles would end, news of Maoist sympathisers taking over the Bhubaneswar-Delhi Rajdhani Express poured in. On October 27, activists of People’s Committee Against Police Atrocities stopped the train near Jha-gram station, 20km away from Sankrail where a police station was ambushed, and took two train drivers hostage. They apparently wanted the release of their leader Chhatradhar Mahato. The CPI (Maoist) denied any role.

However, with the arrival of CRPF battalions, the activists fled after brief exchange of fire. Authorities said all the passengers and the drivers were safe, and the situation was “under complete control”. Let us hope so.

Trincomalee beckons B. MURALIDHAR REDDY

A view of the sunset from the Kanekeswaran temple in Trincomalee.

TRINCOMALEE, the capital of the Eastern Province, remains a sleepy town on week days and comes to life only during the weekends when people from all parts of the island flock in for their first glimpse of the east after years. A few houses along the road even have “Lodging Available” boards in Sinhala.

The tariffs for furnished houses vary from Sri Lanka Rs.3,500 to Rs.5,000 a day. ($1 fetches Sri Lanka Rs.114). Nilaveli is one of the main beaches where the ocean is calm and a sea-bather could venture far out into the sea. On weekends the beach is packed with vehicles and families can be seen frolicking.

Another attraction is the seven hot-water wells at Kinniya, on the outskirts of the town. The waters of the wells are considered to have mineral properties that help in healing skin eruptions and rheumatic pain.

The springs are under the care of the local municipal council, and the authori-ties need to do a lot more to make them tourist-friendly. The entry fee per person is Sri Lanka Rs.20. A wall surrounds the area, which has shelters and separate changing rooms for men and women.

A must-visit location in the town is Koneswaran Kovil, or Swami Rock, within the Old Dutch Fort overlooking the sea. The temple and the famous Lovers’ Leap are favourite destinations. Local lore has it that a Dutch soldier and his lover, the wife of a superior officer, committed suicide by jumping into the ocean from the vantage point, which came to be known as Lovers’ Leap. It is a 100-metre fall into the ocean. Swami Rock attracts thousands of devotees.

The Tourism Ministry hopes that by 2012 it can transform Trincomalee into a major tourist hub. A conceptual zoning plan is being prepared in an attempt to achieve this. Currently, the only star hotels in and around the town are the Nilaveli Beach Hotel, Blue Oceanic at Uppuveli, and the Welcome Hotel near the inner harbour. Room rates are Rs.8,000 for a double room with full board and Rs.9,500 for a deluxe double room. There are plenty of hotels and eating houses in the town, but most are in a dilapidated condition.

Amended and abbreviated version or article in Frontline, Vol. 26, No. 20, 26 Sept 2009

Michael Roberts's latest book assem-bles thirteen of his recent academic essays on the cultural and ideological roots of the majority Sinhala and minor-ity Tamil nationalisms in Sri Lanka. It includes a study of the pogrom against the Muslims in 1915 and a remark-ably detailed analysis of the projects of Anagārika Dharmapāla (1864-1933), a staunch Sinhala Buddhist who launched a full-throated campaign against British rule and Christian mis-sionaries.

The author's preface "Before Pirapāharan, after Pirapāharan" was written after the military decimation of the LTTE early this year, but all the other articles are the product of years of research. This journey, clearly, has been a labour of love. We now have some of the results before us so that they can be subject to critical scrutiny.

Taken as a whole, this book of 450 pag-es that include 35 striking photographs with mini-essays comes as a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere heavily pol-luted by hasty accounts penned by fly-by-night journalists and self-appointed Sri Lanka experts on Eelam War IV.

The temporal focus encompasses the last two centuries for the most part, though there are excursions further back. Issues of collective identity, modes of communication and the embodied practices of committed people provide some of the overlapping themes that straddle past and present.

Sinhala consciousness serves as a central theme within the collection, with particular attention to its modern form, namely, the currents of Sinhala nation-alism from the British period onwards. The author's readiness to depict some of these expressions as "chauvinist" provides a clue to his political position-ing today.

The book clearly shows that the crisis which Sri Lanka faces today was born well before Prabākaran. The roots of Sinhala claims to hegemony go deep. If the chapter on Dharmapäla's think-

ing and the "Marakkala Kolahālaya" in 1915 are not revelatory enough, that on the logic of association and conflations of time which inspired the Kandyan rul-ers of the 1810s to link the threat posed by the demonic white foreigners with that of the "sädi demalu" (vile & fierce Tamils) of Dutugämunu's time is illumi-nating: it highlights the historical depth of sharp differentiation.

Attention to Sinhalese thinking is bal-anced, albeit unevenly, by some space devoted to Tamil nationalism in modern times. Roberts indicates that the first sustained exposition of Sri Lankan Tamils as a "nation" was presented by the Ceylon Communist Party in 1944. However, the book does not trace the history of this current and jumps to a consideration of specific threads inform-ing the commitment of those who joined the LTTE.

Two essays elaborate on the religio-cultural roots of the martyr cult de-ployed by the LTTE in the course of the Tamil struggle for self-determination. This takes Roberts on a journey into the southern Indian heritages around the Cankam poetry and bhakti move-ment. These chapters also dwell upon a whole range of everyday practices of religious devotion oriented towards the negation of the self and the offer-ing of votive gifts to powerful entities/goals. Renewal of self through fusion with a deity, it is argued, is conducive to martyrdom on behalf of one's people and their cause.

Michael Roberts's corpus of writings is substantial. They "straddle the fields of politics, history and culture;" while his disciplinary specialities are described as "cultural anthropology and historical sociology" (publisher). Few scholars on Sri Lanka can match his credentials, though his arguments on the ethnic strife in the island nation have been contested and debated by equally erudite personalities. Love him or hate him, Michael Roberts's works cannot be ignored.
