Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

we also know your overconfidence is based on the succcess in mannar. but it wont last buddy. govt will have to come for talks with ltte about federal type solution. I guarantee that buddy.

This I wrote the other day.

Sri Lanka is a country that has a long shared history of Sinhalese/Tamils. Both Sinhalese& Tamil kings ruled Sri Lanka without discriminating the other community. SWRD Bandaranayake, promoted Sinhalese at the expense of Tamils. A far thinking leader would have promoted both Sinhalese & Tamil interests without discriminating the other.

We all must think as Sri Lankans. Criteria for devolution should be based on finding the most economical way to develop Sri Lanka. It should not be a compromise for those who want a separate state. To have long lasting peace we all should stop thinking in racial and religious lines.

It does not matter whether the leader is Sinhalese or Tamils. A capable intelligent Tamil leader is more beneficial to Sinhalese than a useless Sinhalese leader. Similarly, a capable intelligent Sinhalese leader is more beneficial to Tamils than a useless Tamil leader.

and the govt is fighting for the whole srilankan cause! :))

The way people like you Thivya think is based on your catholic religion. You don't care how many Tamils get killed.

for the whole sinhalse cause

all what you have said could have worked if applied in 1950s but now it is too late after all these losses. federal type solution with internal self determination is the viable alternative for a separate state.

Federal type solution for Tamils is again thinking in racial & religious lines.

The Army Commander deserves to be praised for his frankness. In an interview with the state owned Daily News he had spelled out how the Fourth Eelam War is perceived by the powers that be as a war between the majority and the minorities for the control of Sri Lanka: 'Like any other country in the world where people have to fight wars to safeguard the territorial integrity of their countries they have to go through hardships. They have to spend a lot of money. They have to sacrifice. The Sinhala nation has to sacrifice if you want to protect the country and survive .. In any democratic country the majority should rule the country. This country will be ruled by the Sinhalese community which is the majority representing 74 percent of the population' (The Daily News 19.7.2008).

Finally we have the unvarnished truth about how the regime perceives the war and what it hopes to achieve by winning it. The various spokesmen for the government and the Army love to define this war as a humanitarian war and a war to liberate the Tamils from the jackboot of the Tigers.

The Army Commander knows better and has no hesitation in saying it as far as he and his political masters are concerned this is a war by the Sinhala nation to protect the country and survive . In other words this is not a Sri Lankan war it is a Sinhala war against the enemies of the Sinhala nation . And since it is the minorities who threaten this Sinhala dominance, the enemy is not just the LTTE but Tamils and/or any other minority who dispute the pre-eminency of the Sinhalese.

The Army Commander s candid utterances are a function of the Vidattaltivu victory over the Tigers. In fact, as the regime s belief in the imminence of the final triumph grows, the need to wrap the nature of its SINHALA SUPREMACIST STATE building project in pluralist linen would diminish.
