ABOUT THE AUTHOR Apratim Mukarji
Apratim Mukarji (b. 1941), who has been a prominent journalist with Amrita Bazar Patrika, Calcutta, and The Hindustan Times, New Delhi, for over 32 years is a keen observer of international relations and diplomacy. For over a decade, he has written extensively on Sri Lanka, covering its debilitating civil war, and India’s relations with major world and regional powers. His highly informative publication, The War in Sri Lanka: Unending Conflict?, published in July 2000 is considered as authoritative commentary on one of the longest running ethnic conflicts in the world. During his visit to Yugoslavia as an international observer for the presidential and parliamentary elections, he realized that there were aspects of the developments which were not being adequately communicated to the international community. This volume is an attempt to meet that particular requirement.
