Comment by former Sangam Founder and Editor, Dr. Rajan Sriskandarajah:
Just prior to the 1987 Indian military intervention in Sri Lanka’s national (ethnic) conflict, a booklet detailing the persecution of the Tamils, was widely distributed all over the world. Although it was printed & distributed privately, it is generally believed to have been done by the Government of India.
