Did anyone wonder why MR did not wait until the North is 'liberated' to celeberate the 'victory'?


It is an important stage in the 'evolving' process of redeeming Sri Lanka .. ushered in by Pres Rajapakse. That is the reason for the celebration.

Next stage will probably be 'maximising' of developmental efforts in the Eastern province. Investments .. mostly in Industrial development will be prioritised .. even while the military campaign to liberate the North is proceeding.

Eventually, if GOSL is able to pursue with its developmental plans, while limiting VP and his remaining die-hards to a small locality in the Mullaithivu area .. that would be fine. However, if VP tries to disrupt developmental plans by un-leashing a 'terror campaign' (in special areas like Trincomalee), GOSL will probably have an answer for that too.

A properly focused and courageous leader-ship, has lots of options available to it ..

Is it true that the whole eastern region was really recaptured from LTTE forces?? or Is this another cheating buisness of arm forces to cheat once again the poor sinhalese people in the down south?

Will this eastern region be adminiterested by a moderate Tamil leader?

President has all the rights to laudes forces but he should be wise at least now to call for a genuine peace talks with Tamil Leaders including Mr.Prabhakaran.

If the Sri lankan forces has taken nearly 17 years
( since 1990 upto now the east was under Tamils) to retake eastern province from LTTE how long will take to retake the North?

May be another 34 years to retake the northern region but it will not be so easy for the arm forces.

so instead of spending billions of billions dollars for this stupid war, Mr.Mahinda should now stat peace talks with Tamils under the full supervision of United states,Japan and India.


Let us not be so stupid and damn fool to continue this war just to take back Tamil Homelands from Tamils and give them back to Tamils.


The government will spend this huge financialaides borrowed from foreign countries and from our poor housemaides in Arab Countries to continue this war just to please the arm forces.

Nagenahira Navodaya Drama from Sinhala Terrorist GOSL Modayas to Sinhala matti modayas........

Puli007,

How come Sinhala Matti modayas chased LTTE Maveer Terrorists from the EAST?

What happened to the Soornam rhetoric...?

Don't underestimate the sinhala modayas..

Pilotpremnath,

But the fact is there are many Tamils and Sinhalese Profesionals work and live in Hk . And they Live in perfect Harmony .


I really doubt it. Perhaps the ratio is 20:1 in Sinhala professionals favour. This is nothing to do with who is better or anything. Just what my information tells me about HK.

On a side Note You are a Very interesting person would love to See you in the flesch if you come to Hk in Aug


Hmm..so you are also in HK????

You do not have to give you name or anything. But I wish to know what are you doing there and are you a Sri Lankan Tamil??

No need to answer if you feel that I am prying in to your affairs :)

Cheers

There are no 'homelands' reserved for one ethnic group .. the whole Island is 'the homeland' of all ethnic groups.

That is what the WAR is about ..

Be very sure .. with rapid industrial development of the Eastern province .. Tamils, Sinhalese, Muslims and others will flock to this region. (VP and the LTTE, nor any other ethnicity-centred organisation will be allowed to interfere in this process).

Kudumbimalai (head mountain) is renamed Thoppigala. It's was like Manal Aru renamed Weli Oya, process of ethnic cleansing by Sinhala govts.

The task of nation building
We remain a deeply divided nation. Thoppigala was known as Kudumbimalai to the people of the East. But the Government which claims to have liberated the East never refers to it by the name known in the East. Therein hangs the real tale. The driving out of the LTTE cadres from the area was a significant achievement for the security forces. But the propaganda blitz launched by the government is merely for the benefit of the people outside the east. Or, is the refusal to acknowledge its Tamil name part of the agenda?
The Island.

Interesting .. What was known as Thoppigala to the Sinhalese, was known as Kudumbimalai to the Tamils.

We tend to come back again, and again to this theme : Who was 'here' first ?

Well, let me suggest to those who pursue this line of 'reasoning' to take a look at this posting - which came out earlier under another 'thread' -

Amongst the myths that Tamils have tried to propagate is the antiquity of Hindu shrines which pre- date Vijaya's arrival in Lanka - and hence their 'earlier presence' in Lanka.

There is a lot of truth in the Ramayanaya .. which is strictly a record of the conquest of the Southern kingdoms of ancient India, by the Vedic (or Aryan) peoples of the North .. led by Prince Rama. The Southern region of India was over-run by the Northern Vedic people cc. 6,000BC. After conquering the South, Prince Rama crossed over to Lanka, disposed of Ravana and extended his king-dom to include Lanka.

The Vedic people were Hindus, and Hinduism came to Sri Lanka cc. 6,000 BC with the Vedic invasion of Sri Lanka. (There is some doubt as to the origins of Ravana and his people .. it is probable they were of malaysian stock. The Sage Agasthya is said to have accompanied Prince Rama as his Counselor and Guide .. if he was a Tamil, it is un-likley he would have accompanied the man who was on a mission to wrest control of Lanka from a Tamil King. Either, Agasthya or Ravana was not Tamil .. more likely, both were non-Tamil).

I do believe, the ancient Hindu Temple at Kataragama was built to commemorate the conquest of Lanka by Prince Rama. Like-wise, the other ancient Hindu Temple sites at Gokanna (Trincomalee), and else-where may not have been the creations of ancient Tamil rulers .. but more likely by Vedic kings who've ruled in Lanka since cc 6,000BC. (King Devanampiyatissa, who ruled at the time of the mission of the Arahat Mahinda .. son of Emperor Asoka .. would have been a Hindu king. But he would have been of Vedic or Aryan origin, like-wise the elites of those times).

Sinhalese of the present day carry the genes of Ravana's people, and North Indian (Vedic) invaders going back to 6,000BC or earlier .. also of others coming into the island, at later times. (This would include, Tamils, Middle-eastern / Arabic people, and Europeans .. from cc 1500AD onwards).
