AnuD,
I was about 12 because I was playing under 12 Cricket for my school and I went to play in upcountry and the whole team was invited by a one of our players family to their house for dinner. When we arrived there the head of the family asked each ones name and some were taken inside to the dining table and few others we sat out side on a `Lovi bankuwa` and give a plate with food to eat. At that age I have not heard of these things and we never much thought to why we were asked to sit out side. Later in life I heard even my elders talk about these caste and how my caste was great. I thought these guys were just losers who have not gained any thing in life expect to brag who is related to whom. I am from the south costal belt. So can easily guess if I am a Salagama, Durawa or Karawa caste which are predominant in south. We have interracial and inter caste inter religion marriages in our family also. But we do not have `Lowi Banku` for the low caste. I personally do not care and have the policy `Don`t ask Don`t tell` Policy. I am very sorry to say, here in Canada also in the Sinhalese community this is prevalent. This is truly a curse. |
