Comrade Mucha,

You responded to Ariyalai_SB:
Having said that let me explain why I might not have replied to Taxila, since you are concerned about that.


Now, as for your turn, you can list the posts that Ariyalai_SB 'understandably' did not respond, and ask for reasons!

Mucha,

Kanthun wrote the following:

As for the so-called 'man-made' bridge connecting Sri Lanka and India, sorry to say it's just a sand bank that occurred naturally, and NASA has never made any claims of it being man made, and any such claim is highly illogical..


So, I wrote to him. I said before that I did not misinterpret the claim, but should have paid attention to the host of the website. Because, the Krishna fanatics would believe anything blindly in order to uphold their beliefs! On the same vain, I say very strongly that Raala and you being Mahavamsa worshipers would believe/twist anything in order to uphold your beliefs!

You wrote the following:
Having said that let me explain why I might not have replied to Taxila, since you are concerned about that. The fact is I cannot recall the exact reason that avoided me replying to him. I might either not have seen that OR have been busy with replying to others to a level where I had no intention to start another row with another person.


When you do not reply to someone; there is always an explanation. When I once pointed out to you that Norway is not part of European Union; you claimed that you already knew of it! You never accept your short comings; many participants termed you as one who always wants to have the last word!

Taxila said the following to Raala and you:

Ignore the XXXX who claim superiority of one civilisation over others using manipulated information.


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.


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 XXXX and the rest.


XXXX = I assume these are quarantined word, so I replaced.

Please do not pretend that you did not know about Taxila?s post. Those points above go to heart of your misguided beliefs. I thanked him/her personally and he/she wrote a reply to me; you did not see any of them! Wow!

After all Yal Panam and Thirukoneshwaram too have real meanings in Tamil, arn't they?
Mucha they do, Yalpanum is from a name (it is completely different from it old name Nakadiva). I have seen some jokers say it originates from the Sinhala word 'Yapane' or something like that. Thirukoneshwaram is a reference to the temple in Gokarna. Gokarna is the root word for ThiruKONAmalai. As for
Chanthirikka Pantaranayake
I would not make a joke of that because there is truth in it. The name Bandaranaike is a Sinhalised form of the Tamil name Nayaka Pandaram. I am sure you are aware of Banda's Tamil roots:

Why would a community in the East ABANDON the 'language/cultre' that they practised until 13 CAD and adopt a LANGUAGE and RELIGION from Tamil Nadu, hundreds of Kilo Meters away and even across the sea?
LOL! Why would a person spend all his time on a forum like this asking all these foolish Qs when the answers are in an aforementioned book that costs only $14! Gama surely with all this time you have wasted on this forum you could have earned $14 and bought KI 's book instead?

ARIYALAI_SB,

The issue here is not what you have said to someone else about NASA image, but if you have sufficiently responded to the person who deserves that above all the others. You have not done exactly that. Fulstop.

On the same vain, I say very strongly that Raala and you being Mahavamsa worshipers would believe/twist anything in order to uphold your beliefs!


The Mahavansa-phobia you people have, starting from *master butcher*, is understandable. However, what is not understandable is how one can worship Mahavansaya. For the n th time, let me tell you again that Mahavansaya is neither a mere religious book nor a mere historical account but a Wansha Katha that refers to numerous Historical events where majority of those have been historically and archaeologically extablished. Let me also tell you for the n th time that it will cause no pain in me seeing someone flushing a Mahavansaya down a commode, unless it is about the commode.

You never accept your short comings; many participants termed you as one who always wants to have the last word!


..heh..heh..provided that those *many participents* are none other than people like ARIYALAI_SB, LULA, EELAVAR, TIGRESS19, SHAN aka NALEEN, KANTHUN etc. Mister, I cannot help if any of those *many participents* cannot come up with a solid arument that can leave me dumb-founded, thus making what they said the last word.

For example ARIYALAI, in a fruitless effort to prove that Tamils have a right to communicate in their mother toungue on the basis of equality, you asked me the following question, almost year ago.

suppose you made a complaint to the police, or another person made a complaint about you. A policeman arrives at your home to interview you, who could only speak Tamil; how would you communicate with him? Ok, you have managed to find a neighbour who could speak Tamil, and the policeman has managed to take down a statement; the statement would be obviously in Tamil, and you have been asked to endorse it; how would you feel? Now, reverse this situation to the people in the North and East; in my view, the Sinhala people have no idea whatsoever as to what the Tamils went through. (20 Sep 2005 14:25:09 GMT)


For the above question, which any child can answer, I replied with the following.

I can understand this very well. But this is the situation with most of the minorities in most of the countries...The reality is NO government in the world can make all the languages spoken by its citizens official languages in their countries. This is not a harassment or a source for a grievance. For example, think if we make Tamil an official language in SL (it is so now, anyway) to ease any possible grievance of the minority Tamils, should not we make Ahiguntika Language, Veddas Language and the Kaberi Language (spoken by the African descendents) also Official Languages to ease the same grievance they may have. So, where is the limit. (21 Sep 2005 02:48:32 GMT)


..And as expected, you did not reply, because you had nothing to say. As a result what I said in that regards became the last word.

(Note: Please apologize me if you have ever decalred someone else since then, that you should have paid some attention to the facts in hand before devising such idiotic arguments. Sorry, I usually do not read what you say to others, if that third person is not sufficiently involved in our discussions)

Therefore my friend, please understand that there is nothing I can do about that. But dont worry, one of you (i.e. *many participants*) will one day bash me successfully and that will be the day I admit my fault and leave my login name aside.

Good Luck.

Dear TAXILA,

I recently came to know that you have made a posting some months ago directed to me. Seeing the rock solid points you have made there, my heart (full of misguided beliefs) shattered. If you are reading this post, can you please reply to the following queries I have, before I reply to you with my misguided beliefs.

Ignore the XXXX who claim superiority of one civilisation over others using manipulated information.


Can you please explain what these Manipulated Information are?

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.


Can you please explain what purpose the point above serves, provided that our claims are not based on genetics of different ethnicities?

Sinhala has Pali/Sanskrit at its base, it is a PURE product of Indic languages including ones from the South?(emphasis added)


If Sinhala is a pure product of Indic languages, can you please explain from which Indic Language the sounds represented by the third and the fourth letters (æ etc) of Sinhala Alphabet might have derived. It is also good if you can show the Indiac origins of some of the sounds which are represented in Elu Sinhala Alphabet like those homorganic nasal sounds (like nga, nda, ndha, mba).

-Muchalinda

PS: Heh..heh..!!

MURU,

In response to your unfounded accusation against the native King Dutu Gemunu chasing away the Chola Invader Elara, I asked you to choose a side before further discussion.

Have you made up your mind now? Do you support Dutu Gemunu the native Sinhala King or Elara the 'Demada' Invader from South India?

You so far FAILED to renounce your allegiance to ELARA the Invader from South India! If 'Tamils' are a native Sri Lankan ethnic group, why the hell Tamil Eelamists like you accuse native King Dutu Gemunu of chasing away Elara the Invader who came from South India? :-)

I said:Why would a community in the East ABANDON the 'language/cultre' that they practised until 13 CAD and adopt a LANGUAGE and RELIGION from Tamil Nadu, hundreds of Kilo Meters away and even across the sea?

MURU, Those Eelamists, who spend all their time copying and pasting even the 'genetic studies of Indians and Sri Lankans', NEVER had the courage to unload the 'evidence' from the $14 truckload! ;-) isn't it obvious that such evidences do not exist? Heeyak-Puh! (Copyright Vinnie Hettigoda)

What does it matter where each comes from?

Here's what matters.

The Sinhalese are the dominant 'race' (if such a thing exists).

Sri Lankan tamils were the largest minority in the 1980's.

Sri Lankan tamils are the 4th minority today, behind tamils of Indian origin, and Sri Lankan moors.

That in itself write the future of realities.

The tamils can thank their own hatred for others, for this eventuality.

The hatred the racist tamils wished upon others, has happened to them. That's poetic justice.

Ariyalai_SB,

The below is a bunch of unfounded lies you coughed out 4 Oct 2005 20:09:13 GMT .

Have you ever been to (sic) Karalla? Do you know that people, who speak Malayalam and Thelungu, can read most of the Sinhala writing; Sinhala scripts resemble those of Malayalam and Tamil. There is a claim that a Malayali without prior knowledge in Sinhala is able to read many words from a Sinhala daily.
http://www.lankanewspapers.com/news/2005/9/3766_8.html


1) Ariyalai_SB starts by asking whether I have EVER been to Karalla! (ie. Kerala, heh heh heh)

By asking this, Ariyalai_SB deceivingly implies that he has been to Kerala and he KNOWS that Malayali and Thelungu speakers could read most of the Sinhala writing!
Do you know that people, who speak Malayalam and Thelungu, can read most of the Sinhala writing


Heh heh heh :-) Did you come across any Malayali speakers in 'Karalla' who could read Sinhalese script? ;-)

2) Ariyalai_SB futher LIES that
Sinhala scripts resemble those of Malayalam and Tamil.


If Sinhala scripts resembles Malayalam and Tamil, then shouldn't Tamil speakers be able to read most of the Sinhala, like those Malayalam speakers you came across in 'Karalla'? ;-)

Can't you even spot the obvious contradictions in your wild claimes?

3) Ariyalai_SB then brings up an unfounded claim;
There is a claim that a Malayali without prior knowledge in Sinhala is able to read many words from a Sinhala daily


Those who can read Sinhala can attempt to read Malayalam 'sample text', both Traditional and Reformed versions, from the URL below. (Scroll to the bottom half)

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/malayalam.htm

When all these cheap lies were exposed, did you ever bother to acknowledge to the readers that you were WRONG?

Hilariously, the same Ariyalai_SB accuses others of,
.....You never accept your short comings; many participants termed you as one who always wants to have the last word!


Ariyalai_SB, go in front of a mirror before chanting your above accusation. Heh heh heh :-)

Darwin told us that people evolve from Monkies. Having read some of the posts here describing how Tamils came before everything, it is safe to say:

People evolve from monkies
Monkies evolve from Tamils.

Mucha,
I still draw parallel between you and the Krishna fanatics who misquoted the NASA image. You base Mahavamsa as the source to fuel your bigoted views that was translated in Sinhala only in year 1874! Without the Pali proficient German, it might have taken another 100 years or so! Wow.
I said:
suppose you made a complaint to the police, or another person made a complaint about you. A policeman arrives at your home to interview you, who could only speak Tamil; how would you communicate with him? Ok, you have managed to find a neighbour who could speak Tamil, and the policeman has managed to take down a statement; the statement would be obviously in Tamil, and you have been asked to endorse it; how would you feel? Now, reverse this situation to the people in the North and East; in my view, the Sinhala people have no idea whatsoever as to what the Tamils went through. (20 Sep 2005 14:25:09 GMT)

What a way to express your ignorance once again! Yes, only a child could have written such an idiotic piece if nonsense! The Tamils are minorities, but they are native minorities, if Sri Lanka is a united country, of course. I want Sri Lanka to be united, but not at the expense of people like you asserting superiority!

Tamil is already one of the official languages in Sri Lanka; I will have you reminded! I say this with a stern warning that if this is not upheld with enthusiasm, you run the risk of dividing the country in two bleeding halves!

Please remember that the Tamil language influenced the Sinhala language throughout its evolution phases; there is no doubt about it. I believe that you know the truth very well, but have reasons for your stand, which is a sense of chronic insecurity. But, the Raala fellow is a complete fool; I have no time for him whatsoever!

This is the last time I will write to you on this thread. Have you heard of the phrase: flocking a dead horse?
