Mr Rajanayagam a Legend in our long struggle for self determination has left us bereft. Though we all have a departure date, when a person of such stature leaves it makes us shudder in disbelief. Raj, You were a house hold name as I remember during the TIC era, walking tall as the editor of Tamil times, the publication that provided every discussion topic in the community. Though you have left us your contributions to our community and the larger Srilankan society will always be remembered with reverence. May you rest in peace with a well earned retirement. May the grass lie softly on you. Fondly remembered with deeply held respect and affection. Mahendran.
