Diaspora

Dear LS Reader,

Having been poked and prodded into writing one of the inaugural posts for the Lanka Solidarity Blog, I finally relented out of my hope that this would in some small way contribute to making Lanka Solidarity fertile ground for debate and discussion among the diaspora, a place where progressive, open-minded individuals of all ethnic groups can exchange ideas about how to move our community forward.  It is also my hope that Lanka Solidarity can help articulate a vision of a Sri Lankan identity that transcends the differences that have been too-often emphasized between the ethnic communities, and instead focuses on the commonalities that we share.  This is no easy task, but a task that I feel is imperative if Sri Lanka is to move forward productively.
