Sintamus,
In 1958 he started the riots to sabotage the BC Pact signed by Tamil leader SJVC and the democratically elected PM SWRD.
Nothing comparable happened in your part of the world.
Its everyday translation in my part of the world at my level is - the Vice Chancellor of the University of NSW using the Police (riots) to eliminate me from what he made out to be his property then got the Police to threaten me to sign bail conditions banning myself from the premises. If I had then just stepped in as a normal citizen - they would have arrested me through that bail.
In terms of Australia itself - the parallel of the BC pact is our Racial Discrimination Act 1975 which legally abolishes White Australian superiority. But the Howard government through its Anti Terrorism propaganda caused many racial riots including one close to our home - the Cronulla riots.
Unless we are able to relate to the actions of these leaders through our own experiences - they are mere theory or imagination for us. Do you identify a JRJ in your current environment? If no - you are living in the past.

Why do you want to control the minorities? The LTTE Terror
Why cannot they have autonomy to develop their areas? The LTTE Terror
Why is it that Sinhalas should dismiss or dissolve the PCs elected by the local people? The LTTE Terror
What God's given right have your leaders got to keep the minorities under their clutches? The LTTE Terror |

Gaja,

There is no 'act' in Sri Lanka to enforce equality or abolish discrimination.
Sri Lankan governments jettisoned a Clause (Clause 29) from the Independent Constitution that precluded governments from passing discriminatory legislations based on ethnicity or religion. Under that constitution Sinhala Only Act was challenged. To prevent any challenge to their discriminatory laws Sinhala leaders removed that clause from the Constitution of the Republic.
I agree you can always find bully or thug or leaders with prejudices to break the law or bend the law to ill treat a particular community.
What happens in SRi Lanka is that the state itself and not individuals have discriminatory laws to ill treat a group of people. Examples: White regime in South Africa, Hitler's Germany against Jews, Serbia's leader Milosevic against other ethnicities, Sri Lankan Sinhala leaders against minorities .

Yes ,their suicide bombers and pistol gang + thug army killed thousands of Sinhalese civilians so far for justice.
No this is not for justice but listening to the majority wishes and expediting the attainment of nirvana.

True. So was White Australia policy. Many Sinhalese claim that Sinhala only policy no longer exists. This is not true. When I went to get my clearance from Defence Ministry in February this year - to go to Jaffna - I realised that effectively it is Sinhala only in Colombo the capital. It could be Sinhala only (majority) in areas that are more domestic but not in Colombo. In Colombo we need 'administrators' who speak common language of English or those who speak both languages.
In Australia migrants from Asia are still described by their ethnic origins, in official records. This has been a big part of my complaint. This automatically demotes us and is often more damaging than Government Policy - because it is hidden. If we officially have Sinhala / White only - then the victims do not have to prove that they were discriminated on that basis. By pretending, through anti discrimination legislation which is rarely practiced by the officials we are sweeping the problem under the carpet and requiring victims to prove that race was part of the discriminatory process.
When the Police listed my nationality as Sri Lankan - they were confirming common social policy. Their definition of my nationality and mine were therefore different for that purpose. We therefore did not have a common / zero base. They had head-start. It is therefore automatically discriminatory - a factor through which the Police feel power. Yet even in highest levels of Public Administration - this has been rejected. But it is now on public record that I have shown with clarity how racial discrimination is measured. Anyone who uses that knowingly or unknowingly owes me and my group royalty.

No this not for justice,listening to the majority
Yes majority is sending you to eternal fire to play Kamasutra with Satan Mama.
Total justice will be brought very soon.
Get ready to listen to the majority's funeral geethikas at the vanni wedding when Velu will be wedded to Satan soon. |

Gagaman nona
Quota system for University entrance
The system is not racial but based on area . There is a very good justification for it . Many students from Colombo , Galle and Kandy are also 'discriminated' against .
As far as I know there is no sinhala only act any more either but the knowledge of the second language is not high enough in both communities.
