is there any country in the world that give the foremost place to all the religions(other than the one of the majority)?

So a wife has lost a husband and kids a father..lasantha could have given up on what he was doing and just go about printing a newspaper ...instead risked his life and published a paper that challenges a government and printed a paper we look wfd to..but he gun downed for doing so..what do the people do ? we all will forget this after couple of months...so lets all teach our kids that truth never wins...at least we will give them a taste of reality before they grow up ..honestly i dont think we are a nation that can stand up and for truth..we cannot run the course..look at countries like thailand and pakistan where people take control when elected governments go out of hand .. its not worth and its a waste that people like Lasantha was born in a nation like ours...

Majority of the leading democracies are secular countries. They don't give special place in the constitution to any religion. They believe in the principle of separation of church and state.

GOSL will have to take the responsibilty for the crual act. Who else can carry mega weapons and drive vehicles without number plates passing heavy check points without the endorsment of GOSL. This is obviously proven. Internaional Community and diplomats, this is over to you. Jayavewa

Hello Rasak nana
after a long time..How ru? Happy New year

The feeling to be on the roof of a five star hotel is great. It was a tremendous sight seen rarely. The flood lit Galle Face Green was packed with humanity, all jostling to get closer to the hotel and to me. Buying the hotel for a mere (US$) 45million- peanuts - was all worth it.

The Army Grounds was packed. People were swarming all over buildings. Foreigners were perilously leaning out of windows of the Taj and GFH. Kollupitiya ladies in their Gini Jungis (Hot Pants) were on roof tops risking their delicate bottoms to red ants to have a look at me.

Galle Road stretching down south was a river of humanity. Commentators were saying that they were extending beyond Wellawatte to Dehiwela Bridge. Vermin, had done well having placed giant TV screens all the way. It was a great crowd to address.

As I strode to the microphone searchlights focused on me, Hak Gedi bellowed and Geta Bera rattled.

I commenced to the roar of the adoring hundreds of thousands, which my media commentators said was heard well beyond Galle.



'If there is anyone out there who still doubts that a son of Lanka, a son of the Ruhuna, who could unite this country once again, who still dreams of the story our Great Chronicle coming true, tonight is the answer.'

Crowds were bursting out to cheers: Jayawewa, Jayawewa - Kawda Raja, Apey Raja!



I named 2008 in my New Year message, last year, as the Year of the Buffalo. I re-dedicate this year too to the buffalo. I will name the following two years too for the buffalo. Without that noble animal nothing of what was achieved last year would have been possible.

This pack of noble beasts followed me unerringly, unquestioningly, through thick and thin. I was never faulted. These buffalos masticated everything that was churned out by my favourite presses with delight. I must also thank the independent media which provided the animal feed with a different flavour which the buffaloes loved.

Eight decades ago there emerged a leader in Europe who spoke of 'One pack of buffaloes, one nation and one leader.' He led them to great heights. Never mind what followed. It showed what one leader and one pack of buffaloes could achieve.
