[Basil Fernando`s poem written after the 1983 pogrom - a few lines remembered. Basil is one of these fine people born into Sinhalese community and worked to maintain peace and still work as the Director of Hong Kong based Charity. ]
unfortunately, Basil wasnt there when LTTE masscred people in Anuradhapura or arantalawa or dehiwala train or kebithigollewa all in the name of july 1983. He was still not born when the Tamils came and settled in the eastern lands of the kandyan kingdom, burnt down and inhabitants killed, all males above 14 years to be exact, buy the british invaders in 1818. wonder what he would have written.
Some one wrote `we travelled inside the country, all the lands on both sides of the road to the extent of the eye were burnt, but the most unusual thing we encountered was though we travelled miles and miles there were no inhabitants in a place where once there was thriving agriculture` or something close to this.
