Sri Lanka
Yahapalanaya Government is doing every thing the way USA
It may be
so as there is no country in the world so shamelessly subjugating itself to the
Western Political Leaders. There is also no respectable country in the world
which writes the Constitution of the country with the minority
partnership. There is no country in the
world which does everything to reconcile with the Tamil
Community which contribute nothing for the protection, security or welfare of
the country
The Tamils

The
Tamils do not want to be second class
Citizens-as they say, but want equal rights
with the Sinhala people of the country.
But this Tamil Community seeking equal rights with the Sri Lanka
A Nation is
identified by its culture. The culture is invariably related to the religion or
the belief system of that nation. There
are conquests, incursions or immigration into a nation state which introduces
other cultures and belief system by force
in case of conquests, but the original culture of the nation state by which it is recognised
remains intact, even with the introduction of new cultures into its. However, these other cultures or belief systems introduced
into the nation state cannot remain
completely isolated without being influenced
by certain aspects of other cultures and religions that have come into its midst.
However
the main culture and the belief system
of that nation state will remain protected,
accepted as its identifying culture. That would be its primary identity
with other culture coexisting without putting into danger the original culture
with which the nation State is
identified. This is what happens with
great nations of the world having a history of more than thousand or more years.
Applying
this to Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
If that
is how it is, then it could be the
Sabyathva Rajya, recently stated by Gunadasa Amarasekara in his new book.
Democracy
is of course a foreign invention introduced to our country by the British. Once
it has been accepted into the political system democracy has to be correctly understood. Once accepted and introduced it covers all political activities of the Nation State composed of the communities
that make up the Nation with its original people of the culture with which Sri Lanka
But
democracy cannot be a reason to change the Constitution to give special privileges
to minority communities. That would be a
mutilation of democracy. The Democratic
system is to accept the voice of the majority, not to accept views
and demands of the minority to put in danger the accepted majority point of view, if not it would be
anarchy. Even in an election it is the
one who gets the majority(highest) number of votes that wins the election.
But it
is an aberration of this concept to accept the proposal suggested by TNA
Parliamentarian Sumanthiran in a recent
Derana TV Programme Aluth
Paralimenthuvak, that a new constitution should be written removing the 9th
Article with protects Buddhism as the foremost religion as it provides a
special privilege to the Sinhala
Community, which is denied to other communities.
He argues
that the Tamils had not been given their rightful place since independence,
being treated as second class citizens. What else are they as pointed out
earlier, they are a minority Community, but not second class citizens as they
say.
TNA MP
Sumanthiran further denies Mahavansa as a
historical record of the Sinhala (which was agreed by a man who calls himself a specialist in
History of Sri Lanka-a professor of history Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri, who said
that Mahavansa as a historical record is controversial. These are University
Professors who have passed their exams
on book knowledge unable to think beyond what they have learnt from books written by western writers. That is one reason
why there should be a radical change in the university education system in Sri Lanka
According
to C.V.Wignesvaran the Chief Minister of the Northern Provincial Council, North and East should be exclusively Tamil
Provinces and the new Constitution should be a Federal constitution in which
the rights of the Tamil people are expressly stated. That would be a far cry from Sabyathva Rajya- or democracy.
Strangely
the Yahapalana leadership seems not
averse to these suggestions of the TNA. Undoubtedly the Yahapalanaya
Goverrnment has an agreement with the
TNA to accept their version of democracy.
These TNA
MPs and Wignesvaren led Tamils who are
not satisfied being a minority but would like to have equal rights with the
Sinhala Buddhists should know a little more of the place the Sinhala Buddhists
have in Sri Lanka since the inception of the Sinhala Buddhist culture.
The Sinhala
became a Buddhist nations after the arrival of Venerable Arahath Mahinda Maha thero . Then there were no
Tamils or Muslims. The King Devenampiatissa offered whole of Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
However,
later on a Cholan King Elara set up a
kingdom in Anuradhapura
The
Northern Province Chief Minister Wigneswaran organised a well attended demonstration in Jaffna
Didn’t this
stupid man Wigneswaran a one time Judge think for a moment that these
demonstrations, may be a deliberate
triggering off of racial riots? The Sinhala in the South not taking these demonstrations lightly may want to rise against the Tamils reawakening
hatred that compelled riots of the past.
The Yahapalanaya
lulled into a false sense of security removing
Army Camps in the north and east,
distributing lands in the north back to
the Tamils hopes that it may help to reconcile with the Tamils.
The
President Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe and the Yahapalanaya
Government refuse to understand the reality that the Tamils refuse reconciliation, because the Tamils want a
Tamil Eelam- Tamil only provinces in the North and East and nothing less. That is why they do not want Sinhala settled
in the North and East and destroy Buddhist statues. Tamils are provoking the
Sinhala Buddhists in the south for a backlash,
with another racial riot.
If there
were to be a back lash, it would help the Tamil politicians in the North and
the East to call for foreign intervention.
There are lot of trigger-happy Americans ready to descend at the first
call. Amnesty International , Human Rights Watch which did not speak a word when Libya , Iraq
or Syria were bombed to
heaps of rubble, will not fail to call for
the intervention of International community in Sri Lanka
This is where
the Yahapalanaya Government has brought Sri Lanka
In the mean
time the election commissioner too is being very helpful( to Yahapalanaya), in case
of another election that the Tamil votes will increase in the North and east.
He says he will allow voting rights to the Tamils still remaining in refugee
camps. In the mean time the number of
returnees from refugee camps in India
If Sri
Lanka is to be saved from falling into an unrecoverable abyss, the Sinhala
Buddhists have to unite as one behind a leader who can save Sri Lankafrom
looming disaster, and from the grip of
unhelpful friends and released to real
friends who will help develop Sri Lanka and protect it from political vultures
of the West.
It is time
that the Yahapalanaya Government wakes up from its lull into false sense of
security and arrest the NPC Chief Minister Wigneswaran for inciting people to
racial disharmony and riots. Yahapalanaya Government should also stop further distribution of land
in the North and East to Tamils and strengthen Security. They should also arrest all those who were
responsible for the destruction of Buddha Statues in the North, and threaten
the Sinhala people already settled in the area.
