  • Politico-Constitutional Crisis in Sri Lanka and Its Implications on India-Sri Lanka Relations

    Politico-Constitutional Crisis in Sri Lanka and Its Implications on India-Sri Lanka Relations

    Artha-Journal of Social Sciences 2019, Vol. 18, No. 4, 133-149 ISSN 0975-329X|https://doi: 10.12724/ajss.51.9 Pangs of Proximity: Politico-Constitutional Crisis in Sri Lanka and its Implications on India-Sri Lanka Relations Manoharan N * and Riya Arundhati Pawar† Abstract The National Unity Government, formed by the traditional rivals UNP and SLFP, was a good example of „cohabitation‟. However, things started falling apart in due course due to new political realignments. It reached a stage where President Sirisena joined hands with the previous President Rajapaksa to oust Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe resulting in about a two-month- long politico-constitutional crisis. With judicial intervention, the crisis got over, but not permanently; the polity looks polarised. The crisis has wide-ranging implications, both at domestic and international levels, especially for India-Sri Lanka relations. Unprecedented political situation that has arisen in Sri Lanka has at least two broad implications on India-Sri Lanka relations: the state of Indian infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka and the ethnic issue in the island nation. Keywords: Wickremasinghe, Sirisena, SLFP, UNP, SLPP, Rajapaksa 1. Introduction In a surprising turn of events, on 26 October 2018 Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena dismissed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe and appointed former President Mahinda *CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, India; [email protected] †CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, India; [email protected] 133 Artha-Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.18, No.4 ISSN 0975-329X Rajapaksa as the new Prime Minister. The deposed Prime Minister Wickremasinghe refused to step down claiming the move as unconstitutional.

It depends upon the conduct ofthe people that constitute the nation. We must recognize that the country does not mean just the lifeless soil around us. The country consists ofa conglomeration ofpeople and it is what they make ofit. To rectify the world and put it on proper path, we have to first rec­ tify ourselves and our conduct.... At the present time, when we see all over the country confusion, fear and anxiety, each one in every home must con­ ., tribute his share ofcool, calm love to suppress the anger and fury. No governmental authority can sup­ press it as effectively and as quickly as you can by love and brotherliness.

Background: Media reporting may influence suicidal behavior. In-depth exploration of how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in newspaper articles in a middle-income country such as Sri Lanka is lacking. Aims: We aimed to explore how self-harm and suicide are portrayed in Sri Lankan printed newspapers. Method: Seven English- and Sinhala-language Sri Lankan newspapers were screened for articles reporting on self-harm and suicide (December 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015). A thematic analysis was conducted. Results: In the 78 articles identified for analysis, certain aspects were overemphasized (inappropriate behavior) and others underemphasized (alcohol and complexities of self-harm). Explanations of self-harm were one-sided and a suicide prevention narrative was lacking. Limitations: Another time-frame and inclusion of Tamil newspapers as well as social media and online publications would provide additional understanding. Conclusion: The study found an indication of simplistic reporting. Greater focus on prevention and a nuanced portrayal of self-harm could reduce stigma and imitative behavior.
