The District basis system to enter local universities was a FAILURE..The RICH parents in COLOMBO took their kids to Villages and cheated the system and with low grades as low as 4 passes were able to place them in Peradeniya university..That is quality you get now!!
a Jaffna student who got 1A, 2B and C could not enter any university..What is the only choice a Tamil student had those days..leave the country and get into overseas uni or work and become who we are today..
so leave it..there is no need to go on on this topic..what is that you want to prove brother.. |

| Rasak, Good one. People don't understand the ground reality but, only looking to grab power. If somebody tries to correct the system everybody is against him. |

I gave you two examples...losing jobs, and univ entrance... Tamils were denied -because they were Tamils... not because they were less qualified... that is called discrimination! We do not care if the rules were applied universally to all the people in SL, regardless of their race or language... by introducing many Sinhala only policies, Tamils were marginalized....
thes guys will never learn...
again FYI
At the turn of this century, there existed an elite group of mission school educated Christian Tamils in Jaffna and Colombo, who held privileged positions under the colonial government. Like many colonials, the British had a policy of 'divide and rule', thus favouring and patronising a small minority group and elevating them above the majority (Sinhalese) and also above ordinary Tamils and Muslims.
This was a rather effective mean of colonial administrative control. This elite group became prominent political leaders in the early 20th century. They had been nurtured in the Christian-mission-schools set up mainly in Jaffna and Colombo for that very purpose. Table 3 shows the bias towards the Jaffna peninsula if not the Northern Province (36 Schools) while many Sinhalese dominant provinces had hardly any such schools.
As long as the British ruled the country, the favoured groups of Tamils had no qualms about enjoying their privileged position, but with the impending departure of the British, they foresaw a grave threat to their privileges from the majority (non-English educated) Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims who would naturally take over the reins of power.
Since the call for independence was strong and too strong to resist (many colonials were granted independence after World War II), these Tamil politicians were alarmed and demanded what is euphemistically known as the 'fifty - fifty' solution (i.e. 50% seats in parliament to the 13% minority Ceylon Tamils and other minority groups and remaining 50% to the 74% majority Sinhalese). If this had been granted, it would have ensured Tamil minority dominance in Sri Lanka and would have given rise to an apartheid situation as in South Africa under white minority rule. The British Government quite rightly rejected this demand outright, and granted independence to Sri Lanka in 1948.
Having failed in their unreasonable attempt to dominate the political arena in Sri Lanka, one section of the Tamil elite formed the first quasi-separatist political party in 1949 (one year after independence) it was called (in Tamil) 'Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi' (Ceylon Tamil State Party) which they misnamed 'Federal Party' for the purpose of their real intentions, viz., separation. S.J.V. Chelvanayagam, an elite-Christian, Tamil lawyer was its founder leader. Having failed to dominate the political scenario in the country, the 'Federal Party' s express purpose was to work towards the establishment of a separate Tamil State within the so-called 'Tamil Homeland' in the North and East. This was the sequel to the loss of colonial privileges to this elite group of Tamils.
Origin of Tamil Separatist Movement:
In 1947 two years prior to forming the FP, S. J. V. Chelvanayagam claimed in Parliament that: Tamils had a right to secede and federate with an independent South India.' Meanwhile, a secessionist movement was developing in the South India and the DMK party was formed, Prof. Appadurai of the DMK party, writing on its aims and objectives stated that:
'Ceylon is already semi-Tamil and when Ceylon comes under their rule, the envisaged Tamil Free State will possess the best Tamil harbour in the World, Trincomalee.'
These moves and statements by Tamil leaders of Sri Lanka and South India at the time of independence are significant. They clearly herald impending moves towards separation of 'Tamil Regions' in both countries to form a 'FREE TAMIL STATE' (some named it Tamil Empire).

Pera,
Tamil is Dravidian, Sinhalese is Indo-Germanic. I think the missing link can be traced into Malayalam. You believe it or not i asked someone to write my name in Malayalam, what i saw was Sinhalese letters ! |
