Sri Lankan history is also the history of Sinhalese/Tamils/Muslims.
The Sri Lankan nation was formed during king Pandukabaya. After the arrival of Buddhism a great civilisation was formed. It is considered as one of the best in the world by historians. This is a shared history of Sinhalese/Tamils and later Muslims There was no Tamil nationalism at that time. Sri Lanka was ruled by Sinhalese/Tamil kings. They were all Sri Lankans. Tamil Nationalism against Sinhalese started in early twentieth century. Tamil nationalism was promoted by Tamil Catholics in early part of 20th century. Tamil Catholic political leaders did not find common Sri Lankan history (Sinhalese Buddhist/Tamil Hindu) suited their religious biased agendas. Mahawamsa bashing by GG Ponnambalam which resulted in riots is a good example. What we need to understand? It does not matter whether the ruler is Tamil or Sinhalese. What matters is whether he is Sri Lankan or not. LTTE needs to give up Eelam & learn to co-exist with Sinhalese/Muslims as Tamils have done through out history. Sinhalese/Tamils/Muslims have a common future. In this regard Karuna & Pillian are good examples to LTTE. |
