Mahendra Singh Dhoni (L) and Suresh Raina
India survived Sanath Jayasuriya's explosive half-century to clinch the series against Sri Lanka with a 46-run victory in the fourth one-day international here on Wednesday.
India restricted the hosts to 212 under lights after posting 258 for an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. It was their first-ever bilateral one-day series victory in Sri Lanka.
The tourists were well-served by batsmen Suresh Raina (76), skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (71) and teenager Virat Kohli (54) before off-spinner Harbhajan Singh bagged three wickets, including that of Jayasuriya.
Left-handed opener Jayasuriya posed the main threat to India, giving a magnificent display of power-hitting to smash two sixes and eight fours in his 52-ball 60.

Sri Lanka tightened their grip on the opening Test against India here on Saturday after yet another impressive performance from spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis.
Muralithatan grabbed four wickets and debutant Mendis two as India struggled to reach 103-6 in their second innings at tea on the penultimate day after conceding a 377-run lead.
India were shot out for 223 in their first innings in reply to the hosts' massive 600-6 declared.
The Sri Lankan spin duo, who shared nine wickets in the first innings, returned to haunt India again with their clever variations. They never allowed any batsman to settle even on an easy-paced track.

Sri Lankan opener Malinda Warnapura defied India's attack with an unbeaten half-century on the opening day of the rain-hit first Test on Wednesday.
The hosts lost two wickets cheaply after electing to bat in overcast conditions, but left-handed Warnapura (50 not out) helped his team reach 85-2 in the first innings at stumps.
Skipper Mahela Jayawardene was the other not-out batsman on 16 when play was called off due to bad light with 20 overs remaining. No play was possible before tea because of the rain.
Indian fast bowlers Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan shared the wickets.
Sri Lanka made a shaky start, losing Michael Vandort in the fourth over. The batsman was caught behind while chasing a Sharma delivery, with Dinesh Karthik taking a high catch to his left.

Skipper Mahela Jayawardene says Sri Lanka are keen to maintain their impressive home record when they take on India in a three-Test series, which starts here on Wednesday.
The hosts have won home series against South Africa, England and the West Indies in the past four years and in the same period have lost just one match in 16 at home -- against Pakistan two years ago.
Jayawardene said pride was the key to success.
"We don't want any team to come and beat us at home. That's the attitude we go with. There is a lot of pride involved in it and we would like to protect that (record)," he said on the eve of the opening Test.
"We are very consistent at home and we will continue to do that because as I have said there is a lot of pride involved in it."

Now we are witnessing Clinton family politics in USA in the form of husband to wife.However ancestral politics in Sri Lanka is different from that of western world. Western family politics is a result of monetary and political power earned by a family member oneself.

It thwarted the Portuguese before finally succumbing to British rule in 1815. Reclining serenely beside an artificial lake on the wooded lower slopes of the Hill Country after which it was christened, Kandy became a religious center during the 13th or 14th century and a political one following the decline of Plonnaruwa. Gracious residences for the hillside in a sea of greenery on the south shore of the lake. Centred on the moated pink Dalada Maligawa, the 16th-century Temple of the Tooth – the island’s most sacred relic – Kandy feels like a Sri Lankan Kyoto. Here and in the surrounding villages the ancient skills of dancing, music, handicrafts and all that is most deeply traditional in the | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |

| Reality of meat consumption in post colonial period in Sri Lanka | | 2008-03-09 11:25:38 | | Sri Lankan culture has been evolved for over over two thousand years in harmony with our soil, climate and geographical realities. From time to time we were influenced by Indian sub continent. Some of the influences came in the form of friendly missions and there were occations that the influence was in the forms of invasions. However, Sri Lankas were able to buid independent culture and tradition with Sri Lankan identity.Being a tropical country with plenty of sunshine and rain, Sri Lanka naturally became an agricultural based country which is common to the Indian sub continent. Therefore, we were having plenty of grains, vegetables and fruts. When Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka, the agricultural tradtion was further strengthened. Both Hinuism and Buddhism being evolved in harmony with same traditions, the Indian influence on our culture were naturally absorbed. Our food tradition was strongly influenced by our agricultural based economy and culture.The book “An Historical Rel | | By: Lanka Rising | | |

| Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord and broken promises | | 2008-03-01 01:42:10 | | In 9 January 1984, couple of students started a peaceful demonstration in Jafna University. However, Piripaharan saw this type of peaceful demonstrations as a threat to the growth of his fascist terrorist organization. LTTE propagandists made use of the university student fast to din into the minds of the Tamil people the futility of non-violent protests. Therefore, he ordered his carders to abduct them and innocent Tamil girl Mathivathani was among them and she ended up in the custody of Piripaharan in a LTTE camp in South India. In Hindu society it is very difficult for a Hindu girl to face the society after being under the custody of a man. Therefore, up to the date she is still living with this terrorist leader as his official wife.On July 29, 1987, a similar incident occurred. However, this time it is not a personal incident, but happened to be a tragedy of a nation that Piripaharan also played a role. It is none other than the Indo-Lanka peace accord which introduced the 'Provinc | | By: Lanka Rising | | |

Admittedly, there are now gleaming white high-rises overshadowing the neoclassic portico of the mellow brownstone parliament building at the heart of the Fort area; nonetheless, this miniature metropolis seems largely content to retain its portion of the power, whilst allowing its more extrovert forerunners – Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Kandy and co. – the lion’s share of the glory on the tourist trail. Even the creation of the new administrative capital of Sri Jayawardhanapura down the road has not detracted from Colombo’s supremacy as the hub of the island’s commercial, financial and industrial activity – as undisputed since independence as it was under the trinity of colonial powers.

| SRI LANKA | | 2008-02-23 01:30:00 | | Little did bel-esprit Horace Walpole realize, as his Grand Tour ended under a cloud in Northern Italy, that he would never come closer to Serendib. The teardrop ‘Paradise Island’ off the coast of India beloved of Arabian seafarers is the home of the blissful state the christened serendipity – the “faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accidentâ€. Sri Lanka’s history has not always been happy; the unexpected, however, can certainly occur round every corner.To the ancient Greeks, Sri Lanka was Taprobane; to the Indians, Lanka, the ‘Resplendent Land’, to the Moors the ‘Isle of Delight’, and to the Chinese the ‘Jewelled Island’. The Victorians called it the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’ when they imposed the Pax Britannica on the last kings of Kandy, in the wake of the Portuguese and Dutch traders. They also quelled the invading Indian armies from both ends of the subcontinent – the Sinhalese and Tamils whose Buddhist and Hindu beliefs mingle free | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |
