Voodoo,
Is that the best you find.
It is the foremost in my mind.
So no Tamil was able to go to University.
You are talking like an extremist - all or nothing. Stop finding fault with Tigers then.
All the Tamil Doctors Engineers studied in India.
Majority studied in our Sri Lanka - and add accountants like me to that. We paid into the Public Coffers and we used the resources to educate ourselves. We did not need handouts.
U want only the tamils go to Uni.
No. We want those Tamils who want to stay within their cultural borders to go to Tamil universities and the more ambitious and broad minded Tamils to go to international universities universities - including Peradeniya & Colombo universities to which we have added great value and whose values we have spread all over the world.
What about the majority.
You make the choice. The more you rely on majority power the less motivated you will be to seek higher education for international purposes.
Dont they need more space.
We get what we earn.
love

Andyprem,
The system is not racial but based on area .
That is the 'front' - like the so called merit system in Australia and other western countries. Your leaders were not clever enough to craft a scheme that would disadvantage the Tamils but without discrediting the government. A Tamil would have.
There is a very good justification for it . Many students from Colombo , Galle and Kandy are also 'discriminated' against
If a Colombo or Kandy student was disadvantaged - then that means that quota system was not democratic. It is not easy to find a balance between Public Service and Profit / Process and Grades.
You need clever and caring people like myself to convert one to the other as per the needs of the moment.
love
Gagaman Nona

Yes majority is sending you to eternal fire to play Kamasutra with Satan Mama.
Here is an idea for my funeral.
People around the world are often highly amused (I use the word in its journalistic meaning of 'horrified') when they learn that scantily clad dancers are a regular feature of memorial services in Taiwan and parts of mainland China. - Island

Andyprem,
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.
This was seriously handicapped by SWRD's haste for votes and status. It disadvantaged Sri Lanka at the international front. Had Tamil been the official language we would have had more recognition due to Tamil Nadu. Given that we looked down upon Indian Tamils due to Estate Tamils - we needed English to remain the Common Lanuage and that would certainly have prevented the war.

DVLADV,

We see their parallels everyday at Kathirgama - through the two ladies who represent Valli's Clan. They are almost topless. It is all in the eyes of the beholder.

The system works fine . I have seen it in action as I did manage to get selected without any help form the system , but in practice so many of the students from districts and areas that have poor facilities do extremely well. As you should be aware the good schools in Sri Lanka are in just about 4 / 5 cities and the other schools don't have the facilities or the wherewithal to compete.
The systems in Australia are far more discriminatory and arbitrary, for instance because too many 'asian - oriental' students were getting in to medical school they introduced an interview that superseded the marks.
I dont really think we need any more self promotion Sri Lanka. lol

Andyprem,

So, for you the problem is mere theory.
but in practice so many of the students from districts and areas that have poor facilities do extremely well.
The question is how well would they have fared if they had been in multicultural areas? Jaffna's isolation is part of the reason why we got such high grades - in fact continue to get.
During a professional discussion, we took this up in terms of chartered accounting graduates. One group said that they were not as much in demand as the graduates of international courses. The other group including myself said that the locals had to do more at one time whereas the other group could do subject by subject. Ultimately we need both - for various sections of society.
As you should be aware the good schools in Sri Lanka are in just about 4 / 5 cities and the other schools don't have the facilities or the wherewithal to compete.
Why do they need more than what they have? If they want to serve their local communities - which is the case with majority - then all they need is the process through which they identify with their leaders. Only a handful need merit basis and they would be tomorrow's leaders. If you artificially upset this balance through quota system - then you damage the natural strengths of that system.
