Kadol Atha, the majestic tusker, is an icon of Lankan history. A creature of profound emotional resonance, he bore not only the weight of the sovereign presence of King Dutugemunu, but also the destiny of his troops against the adversarial forces of King Elara, a South Indian invader. Through the annals of time, this tusker’s heroic spirit shines as a beacon of heroism, an embodiment of unyielding determination as he surged forth admidst the harrowing chaos of battle, steadfastly confronting the trials of warfare whilst shouldering the regal burden. Much like the resilient tusker of yore, the valiant soldiers of the Sri Lankan Military stand forth as true progeny of the motherland. During thirty tumultuous years of conflict against the LTTE, one of thr world’s most brutal and barbarous terrorist organisations to date, these brave individuals wrote a story of unwavering resolve, enduring untold hardships marked by indelible scars of sacrifice. The author masterfully intertwines the noble essence of the gallant military personnel with the timeless legacy of Kadol, the tusker. The eternal sacrifices exhibited by these brave souls find its reflection in the tusker’s unwavering stance, symbolising their strong commitment to protect the motherland’s sovereignty.
