Sri Lanka: Mr. Narasingham goes North

It will take a long time, maybe generations, before the echoes of the grenades and low-flying planes are finally silent, and the visions of fire have been quenched. Before it is finally peaceful again, inside. "We took the time to talk with every family. Some evenings, all I could do was break down and cry." Rohini Narasingham
