The Weight of Memory: Sri Lanka's Solved and Unsolved Crimes Since 1948History does not forget-it waits.In the aftermath of independence, Sri Lanka's story did not unfold as one of unity, but of unhealed wounds and deepening divides. The Weight of Memory is a haunting exploration of the nation's post-1948 journey-a chronicle of crimes both solved and silenced, of justice pursued and denied, of voices lost to violence and fear.From assassinations and disappearances to the manipulation of truth and the architecture of impunity, this powerful volume examines how a nation's conscience can fracture under the weight of its own history. It is not a mere record of events-it is a meditation on remembrance itself: how societies choose to remember, or to forget.Following the acclaimed works that traced Sri Lanka's colonial legacy and civil strife, this third and final volume completes a trilogy that confronts the shadows of sovereignty and the cost of silence. With unflinching honesty and moral clarity, the author bears witness to the aftermath of war and repression, offering a profound reflection on justice, truth, and reconciliation.The Weight of Memory stands as both testimony and tribute-to the victims, the survivors, and the generations still carrying the echoes of the past. In remembering, it seeks not vengeance, but healing.
