a couple of months back there was a photo where a tamil kid was riding with his father is army fatigues
everyone and their dog here cried bloody murder and the usual nonsense was written.
i am glad LN published this photo with the sinhala kid in army fatigues.
I guess now that the sinhalese have done it
Kids wearing fatigues is accepted from now on.
another matter settled! |

SLA/GOSL MUST NOT LEAVE HIDING PLACES FOR THE ENEMY, IF GOSL/SLDF WANT TO WIN THE WAR.
But, what we have left so many hiding places that LTTE can hide. SLA is not allowed to go to Kilinochchi. But Kilinochchi is hiding everywhere in colombo and other places.
LTTE could attack SLA commander and 3rd in the command structure mean GOSL is doing nothing.
Who is responsible. I don't think dumb MPs do anything except looking for where to steal something from the govt.
SLA has to rethink the strategy.
SLA/GOSL need to rethink the way they handle the media. SLDF own survival (self defence) is more important than any thing else. If you are scared to the news media, you can not live.
Why they did not brainstrom all the possibilities and did not take for those possibilities. |

Speaking of Mahavamsa mindset, this was written By ariyali_Sb a few months back
======================================
Naleen,
You think and behave rationally; what you have just said makes complete sense. If Sri Lanka had been promoting a Sri Lankan identity from the beginning, these divisions wouldn?t have come about.
There are several aspects to consider here:
Historically, Buddhism and Hinduism have never been in conflict; however, one needs to understand as to what went wrong in Sri Lanka.
I would point my finger directly at Mahavamsa; I do not criticise Mahavamsa, as it was written around 6th century AD by a Buddhist monk encompassing many myths that prevailed at that time. At a time when Buddhism was in decline in India, I believe, the Monks in Sri Lanka feared for their survival owing to the threat of expanding Tamil Empires from South India etc. Consequently, many factors would have influenced the composition of Mahavamsa, but no one knows for sure!
To interpret the Mahavamsa to form the following believes are the causes of the fragmentations of social fabric of Sri Lanka today:
1. Sinhala Buddhists are descendents of Aryan race
2. Lord Buddha entrusted Sri Lanka with Sinhala Buddhists to govern and safeguard it as a Buddhist nation.
3. Only Sinhala Buddhists are permitted to govern Sri Lanka.
4. The Sinhala Buddhists are the owners of Sri Lanka, but the others are allowed to live accepting Sinhala Buddhist hegemony.
Muchalinda believes in the above, word by word, but the worrying aspect is that his aim is to educate the young Sinhalese on these forums of his believes. He believes that he cannot contribute to Sri Lanka by living in Australia, but can help to perpetuate the mind-set that promotes superiority of the Sinhala Buddhists. As far as Mucha is concerned that it is inconceivable that a non Sinhala Buddhist can be at the helm of Sri Lanka.
Of course, Mucha does not accept that he believes in the superiority of Sinhala Buddhists; instead, he will play with words to justify his stand!
Because of people like Muchalinda, Waruna, and Karthika, the Tamil polity that embodied people like: Chelvanayagham, Ponnampalam, Amithaligham, Sivasithamparam, Navaratnam, Yogeswaran, and many, many more, have been replaced with Prabhakaran. Prabhakaran is talking their language, and they would end up conceding much more than they would have done under the moderate Tamil polity!
These people derailed Bunda/Chelva Pact, Dudley/Chelva Pact, and many more; lastly the P-TOM.
In my view, the P-TOM was a missed opportunity, and carried international credence; it would have paved a way for a constructive dialogue; now, the Tigers are of the view that if they can?t even agree to an agreement like P-TOM, what chance is there for a constructive dialogue. Can any one disagree with this statement?
In my view, if we want the country to stay united, both the Sinhala people and Sinhala polity must tackle the Mahavamsa mind-set head on. So far, no political party has taken them on; instead, they appear to be mushrooming! |

Naleen Bro,
Why do you want to be the President to throw your racial bias? Why cannot you do that right now?
It was the boy who was telling that and not me. However, regarding me, still the Mahavamsa mindset is holding me back.
If you think that I have racial bias, well....it is your interpretation of a man who is very frank and honest in what he says though the facts are pretty painful to hear, leave aside accepting.
As I have mentioned earlier I am only answerable to my very conscience, otherwise most of us would have gone mad by now.
Incidentally you too being accused of a racialist, worst still a terrorist (in SL terrorist is a word coined at Tamils) with great debate raging about your ethnicity. Some belive that you may be brought up by Sinhalese but a a Tamil by birth, either adopted or got mixed up in the labour room.
Never mind carry on with your good work, Brother |
