Unsung Hero.......

Indeed i borrowed (stealed??) this title from a freind, Richa, from who's posting i came to know about this unsung hero and his final editorial on the true situation of Srilanka....Mr. Lasantha Wickramatunghe, founder and editor of The Sunday Leader, one of the leading news papers of Srilanka was shot dead by unknown assailants in broad daylight on 8th Jan' 09 and the police are yet to identify or arrest anyone in this regard, i doubt they will catch any.....Lasantha, knowing that one day, his time will come to be assassinated, wrote this editorial to be published after his death. Thanks to Richa, from whom i came to know about his editorial, which clearly picturises the situation in Srilanka and what the people are going through - the sinhalese, the tamils and other minorities........Thought its worth sharing with others, thatsy posted this......
