The 10th Parliamentary Election of Sri Lanka in 2024 : An analysis on its results

Elections are the core aspect in selecting representatives of peoples in a country. In this sense, presidential election and the parliamentary election are the two key elections in Sri Lanka. In the last presidential election of the country, Anura Kumara Dissanayake of National People's Power party (NPP) was elected as the president and he dissolved the Parliament on 14th of September 2024 based on the power vested to him as the president. Hence the 10th parliamentary election was held on 14th of November 2024. In this election, NPP gained the victory with overwhelming majority. In parliamentary elections of Sri Lanka, it is the first time after 1977, a single party, NPP, won the election with 2/3 majority.

NPP as a single party gained 159 seats in the election and became the ruling party in the Parliament, and Sajith Premadasa led SJB gained 40 seats and became the opposition party in the Parliament.  NPP gained 59% of votes and SJB got 24% of votes in the election. Whereas other ethnic political parties did not get results as previous elections and marked their decline in this election. Moreover, women representation had also increased in the Parliament by this election. The overwhelming victory of NPP ad a single party was caused by the economic crisis of the country and the related issues of previous government. This study is based on secondary data to the analysis

Gandharuvam in the Inner Tradition

In the Agamarabu, the concept of "Kalavu" is described as Kandharuvam, which is recognized as one of the eight types of marriage. Tolkappiyar, in his Kalaviyal grammar, explains "kamakoottam" as an inseparable bond between lovers. This bond is symbolized by lovers playing the yazh (a musical instrument) together, reflecting their deep, intertwined physical and emotional connection. Irayanar also refers to the Kandharuvam tradition as a form of Kalavu marriage. When Kandharuvam in the Agamarabu is re-examined, it becomes clear that Kalavu reflects both the physical and emotional union that occurs when a man and a woman, who have never met before, first come together. This kamakoottam is not only central to the Tamil Agamarabu tradition but also represents a broader cultural theme found throughout India. It embodies the idea of Kandathum Kadhal—the intense, intimate connection that arises from the first meeting between lovers. This research article aims to critically explore and deepen our understanding of Kandharuva

Anger towards others for selfish reasons is not shame. An unparalleled virtue does not harm one's family by committing a blameless act. In this respect, the angry speeches of the poets of the Sangam age show their courage and not as an expression of their emotion.
