Uma Will Be A First-Class MP Standing Up For The People Of Harrow East – Gareth Thomas
November 19, 2013
Harrow campaigner Uma Kumaran has been selected as Labour’s candidate in the 2015 election to choose the next MP for Harrow East.
“My parents fled to Britain over 30 years ago in the midst of civil war in Sri Lanka and they worked hard to rebuild their lives and raise a family in Harrow.” she told Colombo Telegraph.
Gareth Thomas, Labour’s MP for Harrow West and the former Minister of State at the Department for International Development said; “Uma will be a first-class MP standing up for the people of Harrow East. It will be a pleasure to campaign with her to reverse the cuts in police numbers in Harrow, for a better Northwick Park and to get more investment in our schools. Together we will be highlighting the pressure on the living standards of too many Harrow families as a result of unchecked energy bills and the squeeze on wages since David Cameron took office.”

Chamal Rajapaksa: An Incomplete Biography
Jayashika Padmasiri
If the “Mahawanshaya” can be considered as the biography of the ancient Sri Lanka, then certainly the latest ‘vanity publication’ in Sri Lanka “Chamal Rajapaksa” written by Punya de Silva (and sold for Rs.2000), can certainly be considered as Chamal Rajapaksa’s biography. It is a universally acknowledged fact that history is narrated and repeated in versions. However when considering history we must not forget that even ‘Mahawanshaya’ is also a version of history”: which boldly speaks the invisible worlds‘one point of view’. So with that cleared out from the picture, and getting the most obvious fact which is the writer sucking up big-time to please the main character or his family in the book (which in simple terms in Sinhalese is called as ‘kadde yamma’ these days) out of the way, the book “Chamal Rajapaksa” can be called as an informative book which is very well researched, and a book which not only relates a lot of information and incidents about Chamal Rajapaksa and his family, but also about the writer Punya de Silva as well in a none chronological order (since the book proves that the writer has lost all sense of order and organizational skills while writing this book.)
