Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE AND WHEN DID I MENTION THAT Devanampiya Tissa aka Thevanambiya Thesan WAS A TAMIL?

Since there is nothing new to discuss other than the old rotten stuff such as Thevanambiya Thesan (whom I have clearly stated as a king from the Sinhala dynasty)

From 1965 to 2005 is a very long period (40 years). I prefer to discuss with people who have updated their knowledge.

Since there is nothing new to discuss other than the old rotten stuff such as Thevanambiya Thesan (whom I have clearly stated as a king from the Sinhala dynasty), it is a total waste of time arguing with someone whose knowledge is stagnating (4 decades behind)

Let those two gon raalas live in their own fool's paradise.

SL Tamils have been living as SL Tamils for approximately a millenium in the North-East, therefore they feel they should be able to have the right to carry on living like that for the forseeable future. In the centuries before the colonials came, the Sinhala masses had no problem with that whatsover. There is no evidence whatsoever of any enmity between the Tamils and the Sinhalas. When a Sinhala king ruled Tamil areas like in the east, he let the Tamils live the way they want and never threatened their distinct identity and existence. Now that is all changed.

You replied: NO that is NOT true. Dutugaemnu wanted to rule, just like any other aspirant for the throne. You are so blinded by your chauvinsm that you create myths. Tell me, what did the Buddhist Sangha think about their treatment at the hands of Elara? Elara patronised Buddhism in SL so much so that the Sangha had nothing but praise for him in the chronicles. They could not believe that a heathen could be so benevolent to the Buddhists. This is similar to the later Nayaker rule in Kandy. The Sinhala people had no hate whatsoever for Elara, and it can not be called a war of liberation.

*Not for the joy of sovereignty is this toil of mine, my striving (has been) ever to establish the doctrine of the Sambuddha.* (Ch XXV)

When the king (i.e. Elara), who was a protector of tradition, albeit he knew NOT the peerless virtues of the most precious of the three gems(Ch XXI, Emphasis added)

Nicely painted argumentation ! Keep it up Tigeress20 :-))

Dear lula
thanks for the info,
i learnt from you that the tamil was used in the whole island widely, but when the sinhala language was formed?

is it after the introduction of Buddhism?

Gamaraala & Muchalinda,

There are many a false friends who wants us to remain like the 'Lindee Gembas', knowing nothing about what is happening in other parts on this earth, a fragile space vessel on which we are all embarked on.

Think of the air you respire and share with others, whether you like it or not !

You are young people, you must gather data, analyse them and come to conclusions with a cool head so that the future generations born under the shade of the Bodhi tree will have a better future .

So listen,

Ignore the idiots who claim superiority of one civilisation over others using manipulated information. We Sinhala Buddhist have nothing to be ashamed of except for the fact that our civilisation was not able to muster enough military/Buddhi power/technology to not to be enslaved by the British East India company for 200 years.

The neighbouring Sinhala Buddhist and Tamil Hindu civilisations have contributed much to the human well being . Only the British depicted them out to be born enemies in their divide&rule politics.

When the roots of Sinhal/Tamil civilisations in most of India were subjugated by the tribal Abrahamic(Muslim, Christian,...) invasions from the 7th century onwards and our links to the roots were cut, our forefathers who remained free, did their best to join forces to fight these hordes of plunder and destruction.

Remember that once when all our sea routes were cut by the Portuguese 300 years ago and when the whole north India was subjugated by Islam, there was not a single Buddhist Bikkhu in the whole island of Sri Lanka!

South Indians Hindus were able to resist better because a vital section of the of North Indian population also migrated to the South as the Abrahamic invaders occupied the north. They formed a larger mass of population not easy to be conquered.

That was why the Sinhala Royal families married to South Indian royal families and migrations were encouraged to fight the Abrahamic invaders attacking Sri Lanka.

It is natural for both Sinhala Buddhist and Tamil Hindu peoples to intermix because they are already a mix of many a dynamic Indian peoples and more.

It is essential to rebuild our links with the root civilisation in India because it is the only one whose aim is the same as ours, namely the search of truth which ultimately leads to Nirvana/Moksha.

Sinhala has Pali/Sanskrit at its base, it is a pure product of Indic languages including ones from the South. If one is born to the Bible, naturally it is difficult to accept that, then one prefers to have a dose of Aramic! .

The tribal bible is extremely active in Sri Lanka and will do everything to undermine any return to roots, beware of the Helu/Hela crap and the rest.

Sihala Buddhist and Hindu Tamils are made to fight each other while Christian forces take-over economic, political and military power in Sri Lanka.

Funny how the founder of the JHU, a Christian, refused to offer flowers to Dalada Maligawa. That is an insult to whole Buddhist world and specially to Sinhalese for whom Maligawa is also the centre of their culture.

Know that
- Polpot was educated in a Catholic School in the west!
- Christians Colonials were embarked on a well planned slow genocide of the proud, indomitable Sinhala Buddhist farmers during the colonial rule. Even today, the imported food is contaminating our people.
- Christians massacred 400 million red Indians in Americas.
- Great Mr. Cheguvera was a Catholic and effectivly sabotaged the revival movements of red Indians.
- Christians sucked the blood out of Africa making it a hell, they have not stopped it yet.
..........

The treachery of Christians(Converteds+Aliens) are beyond imagination. Forgive them because they do not know what they are doing, but do not be fooled by them.

Lula, why did you declare 'Theva Nambiya Theesan' has a clear Tamil meaning, in the first place? What purpose does it serve?
Morever, you so far FAILED to qutoe the historical source you extracted 'Theva Nambiya Theesan'.

The issue here is not if you have declared that T.N Theesan (aka Devanampiya Thissa) is a Tamil. YES, WE ALL KNOW (AND HEREBY AGAIN AGREE) THAT YOU HAVE NOWHERE MENTIONED THAT HE IS A TAMIL. But mister, this is not the ISSUE. And do not try to close widely opened challenges. I have asked you a very specific question. Why on earth it occurred to your INNOCENT MIND that Theva Nambiya Theesan sounds quite Tamil, just seeing the name Devanampiya Thissa.

A Sardarji and his wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston. After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.

When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350. The Sardarji explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appears, listens to the Sardarji, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband and wife to use.

But we didn't use them, the Sardarji complains.

Well, they are here, and you could have, explains the Manager. He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous.
'The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here,' the Manager says.

But we didn't go to any of those shows, sardarji complains again.

'Well, we have them, and you could have', the Manager replies. No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the sardarji replies 'But we didn't use it'. The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the Sardarji finally gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to
the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when the looks at the check. 'But sir,' he says, 'this check is only made out for $100.' 'That's right,' says the sardarji, 'I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife.'

'But I didn't!' exclaims the Manager.

'Well,' the Sardarji replies, 'she was here, and you could have.'
