Magha,
Wonder what Professor Hoole would say about your 55:40:5 University entrance formula? Don't you think that the Vice Chancellor of a Sri Lankan Tamil University must have the intellectual solution to this fundamental issue that has become cause of our ethinic problem?
love

Tamilcanuck, Piranha,
Every atrocity committed in this ethnic conflict by Singhalese and Tamils I have condemned. When I talk about these murders it is about civilians whether it is civilian Tamil killed by Singhalese mobs or GOSL. LTTE killings of civilian Tamils are the unarmed Intellectuals. So I condemn. I condemned the GOSL killing of 30,000 JVP youth and the JVP killings of Singhalese Intellectuals and other civilians too.
My question to both of you is, during this course of killing of Tamil politicians , let us say starting from Duraippa to Neelan what did the Tamils achieve? Nothing but Death,destruction, poverty , displacement , loss of education standards and dignity. Do you guys think that killing DEvananda or Anandasangaree would bring peace and prosperity to Tamils. By Killing political opponents you can not win this game, because as a minority in Sri Lanka Tamils can not reestablished the lost dignity , and respect supporting a brutal and terrorist regime. JHU is a by product of the 30 year war and LTTE Terrorism and not v.v. LTTE monolithic doctrine and Terrorism will never change because of the uneducated Dictatorship which rules it. There is nothing more of the LTTE arrogance to get worse. It is LTTE make the JHU become more antagonistic and worse .
If Prof.Ratnajeevan Hoole wants to go to Jaffna then he him self taking a big risk, no body can rely on GOSL security. Iam sure he will not take the position but it exposed the murder instinct of TNA, supporting LTTE to eliminate every political opponent. This also substantiates the fact that LTTE would never agree for a democratic political system even if talk about Federalism ,further justifying the protest of the Singhalese majority, and muslim minority for a Federal system under LTTE dictatorship.
The problem is not the Tamils or Tamil militants who would be happy to live in peace not clinging to a weapon, but with leadership who knows that he has no where to hide in a democratic system. He is a wanted man in India for killing a statesman, he is a wanted man for Colombo bombings and he had made enough of enemies within the Tamils. So Prabhakaran will dictate terms and continue to keep Tamils as hostages for his own survival.
tamilcanuck ,
Big deal you found that I did not know the abbreviation for High Security Zone. It is nothing to be ashamed of comparing to your self castrated state. |

Gaja Lakshmi,
Sure any body has the right to give their opinion about present university admission criteria. It will be more valid when Intellectuals give their opinion taking in to account the Historical aspects of system of education , stages of development of education , the availability of education and resources and not based on unscientific assumptions of one ethnicity being racially superior to the other.
Talking about the fairness of higher education opportunities for citizens of Sri Lanka is as important as condemning assassination and systematically elimination and intimidation of Intellectuals of the country what ever their ethnic or religious identity is. |

Delighted to see that sometimes Magha talks sense. I largely agree with him on the post above.
I share Magha's respect towards Anandasangaree and his respect towards Prof. Hoole. Hats off to both these gentlemen.
I respect the rights of Sangaree and Prof. Hoole to have their own political opinions, instead of blindly following the heard like those suicidal lemmings. One is a very matured politician and the other a matured and respected academic. Why the hell they should follow a person who have not even passed his Grade 8 exams?
Nobody, I repeat nobody, should die because of his/her political opinion. It is a RIGHT of an individual to have his/her own political opinion. (It is a different matter whether we agree with them or not)
I do not say I agree with Sangaree and Hoole (I strongly disagree with him on some other matter) but I always stand for their right to have their political opinions. |

Magha,
I see the world through my naked eyes. I do not have to use racist glasses.
Just because I agree with you here, it does not necessarily mean I agree with your racist standards elsewhere. |

Magha,
Thank you for the response.
I note that you have mentioned many criteria as per the past but nothing for the future. I note also that you are still not able to connect to my intellectual analysis on why high percentage of Tamils entered the University despite the subjective system.
The solution put forward by a prospective candidate must be democratic in areas where we UNDERSTAND the connection between cause and effect. This area must be filled through Objective criteria. The rest is as per history - to honour our ancestors - each University as per its founders. If Tamils also come up with your answer we conclude that Tamils are no more democratic than you Sinhalese.
love

Gaja Lakshmi,
To be objective about two students performances, the fundamental principle is to subject them to similar standards. When there is a discrepancy in standards one can not be objective about the performances and make a valid judgment about superiority or inferiority of an individual's performances. When looking at a society where standards are far from being equal, penalizing a part of a society for lack of better standards are equally discriminative as penalizing another part of a society for having better standards. This inequality had been addressed incorrectly in Sri Lanka in the past. However the mistakes had been rectified and a better approach had been reached since 1978.
I do not want to go back to our previous arguments again but would certainly like to see if the erudite Prof. Hoole has any thing to say about the present criteria without speculating. |

Magha,
For a start, how can a non-racist propose a quota system for university admission?
Don't we all know the problems present quota system has created?
Why not let students enter universities purely based on merit and not on their ethnic background?
(Anyway, I am happy if you try not to be a racist, because only very few from my old school had the guts to reject racism.) |
