Why is Tamil classical music called Karnatic Music?
Tamil being at the pinnacle of the Dravidian world -(*wink), its classical music must be called Tamil music.
Just wondering

The UNP says it has information that indicates that the suicide bomber that killed Maj. Gen. Janaka Perera had arrived for his mission in a white-coloured van.

I think now there are two LTTEs, one is headed by Velu and other by Gota.

Which LTTE ? V-LTTE or G-LTTE.

Time has come for a allout kill of LTTE. No more surrenders just massacre should be the game.
