Book review: This Divided Island: Stories From The Sri Lankan War
Yet the civil war between the Tamils and Sinhalese only ended in 2009, and the country is still far from healed.
Travelling from town to town, Indian journalist Subramanian meets people who were involved in the war. From Ravi the Tamil who was part of the Sinhalese army, to Nirmala who helped the Tigers (the violent group who campaigned for an independent Tamil state) until they killed her sister, to those who were even close to the monstrous Tiger leader Prabhakaran.
