The Principal of Janadipathi Balika Vidyalaya, Nayana Thakshila Perera had allegedly sought the assistance of parents to cover her “legal fees” after reportedly stating that it amounts to over ” 400,000″ Rs, despite being entitled to representation from the Attorney General’s Department.
During a specially convened meeting held at the school today, the Principal who is at the centre of a controversy regarding the banning of the ‘punjabi’ attire in school, had informed the parents that she is to “mortgage her car” in order to cover her ” legal costs”.
However, since the action filed in the Supreme Court against the Principal is regarding an administrative action taken by the Principal in her capacity as the Principal of the school, she is entitled to representation from the Attorney General.
Accordingly the motive behind seeking assistance from the parents is unclear.
Parents today had thereafter collected, Rs 500 from each parent who was present at the meeting in order to meet the purported ” legal costs”.
The parents, had signed a form circulated by a group of parents and thereafter handed over the money.
The collection is also in contravention of successive education MInistry circulars banning collecting of finances from parents and students.
The Fundamental Rights application filed by a student in which the student states that the Principal ordered her to remove the Punjabi attire, which comprises a shawl and a trouser apart from the school uniform and thereafter worship the Principal is to be taken up on April 29, 2014.
The complaint to the Human Rights Council by the parents of the Principal is also to be heard on April 28th, 2014.

Paras, – I am no muslim , Lorenzo, Jim Softy and other Avtars,
Give up your myths and Imaginations. Even the Catholic Church gave up their Imagination that the Sun goes around the Earth and admitted that Galileo was RIGHT!
Native Veddah who walked to the Pristine Sacred Land of the Native Veddah 25,000 years ago consider all the Para-Sinhala, para Tamils , Para Muslims ( Para-Sinhala and para -Tamil) , Parangios-Portuguese and Paras to be interlopers in the Egalitarian Land of the Vedddah.
The other Paras came by illegal boats, called Hora-Oru and Kalla-thoni.
Checking the DNA of these paras confirms that they came from South India,their Native Land. Please return there.
Please go back to India and Take your caste-infected Hinduism, Buddhism and Racism with you, along with the other Paras, to India, where it originated.
Native Veddah do not accept the lies and imaginations of the Para-Monk Mahanama as written in the Para-Mahawansa.
Mahahwamsa is a Tissue of Absurdities, with flying Buddha etc. according to a scholar.

The Court of Appeal had earlier declared, Denbigh High School in Luton had denied Shabina Begum’s right by refusing to allow her to wear a jilbab. Then in a unanimous ruling, judges at the House of Lords overturned earlier Appeal Court ruling.
Last year, Telegraph reported that David Cameron would support a ban on Muslim veils at a school in a row over a Birmingham college’s decision to ban veils. David Cameron also had said that Britain is a “Christian country.” And Jack Straw talked about ‘Christian based’ values the Muslim majority schools in Britain must follow.
Another report shows a Muslim family chooses to send their 9 year daughter to a Christian private school in the UK later demanded she be allowed to wear a hijab against school’s the uniform policy.
It seems, given the opportunity, Muslims would take advantage of every situation.

Other than an idiot, anyone can see my point very clear. Not just in Sri Lanka, Muslims play this dress code game all over the world, and unlike the UK, we are too soft. Got it [Edited out]?
I think, these’re typical of Muslims jihad plots. Muslim parents deliberately admit their children to non-Muslim schools. They silently agree to dress codes of those school at the point of admittance. After a while, jihads tell parents to flout dress code. When opposed by schools, jihads help parents to file a case using rights under respective constitutions.
Aim of Muslims is to promote extremism among their children and give a bad name to schools.

I attended Bishop’s College, Colombo for a few months in 1955. There were still nuns on the staff in this “Christian” school. However, in my class were several Muslim girls who wore “Punjabi kit” to school, one of them a daughter of the wellknown Dr Kaleel. At that time few SL Muslim women were veiling and the girls only wore a shawl over the regular uniform dress, plus trousers. They also came to school in cars with curtains at the windows. I don’t remember anyone ever remarking on this, let alone insisting that they should abandon the shawl and trousers.

1. “Last year, Telegraph reported that David Cameron would support a ban on Muslim veils at a school in a row over a Birmingham college’s decision to ban veils. David Cameron also had said that Britain is a “Christian country.” And Jack Straw talked about ‘Christian based’ values the Muslim majority schools in Britain must follow. “
2. “Another report shows a Muslim family chooses to send their 9 year daughter to a Christian private school in the UK later demanded she be allowed to wear a hijab against school’s the uniform policy.”
Why do the Buddhist Monks wear the Saffron robe with no upper shirt?
Egalitarian Amarasiri is of opinion, they all are getting issues mixed up. Need to take the Approach taken by Galileo with the Church. Provide facts and data.
Tell the Muslims, they need to provide:
1. Unambiguous information, that requires Muslim women to cover up and that it was not just an Arab Tribal Custom which all Muslims and Scholars agree. Just the Interpretation by the Devil following Wahhabi clerics is insufficient.
They will never produce the conclusive proof. So, the Hijab Issue stays in the Christian Limbo, until resolved. Until then, the Hijab is banned in schools, just like in Turkey. If the Muslim women are required to wear the Hijab or the Sun is required to go around the Earth, need unambiguous proof.
Differentiate between a religious requirement, where the believer believes he/she will go to Hell/Heaven, Vs. Tribal or Traditional custom.

Jayantha,
1. “Trousers and shirts are not the Sinhala Buddhists mens dress.”
The Sinhalese men’s dress was the amudaya, loin cloth. Some men did cover a little bit more. Many women went bare chested,
The Loin Cloth Adventure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZDhz2iK5wU
2.” Sinhalese wear white sarong and long white lungi top, like our Parliament MPs. (This is actually copied from India) :
Naturally, the Sinhala and Tamil are Paras, Para from (South) India, and naturally they copied the clothes, just like the language.
3. “Therefore why don’t you recommend for school boys to wear sinhala white sarong and Lungi as school uniform and not the European trouser and shirt.”
The Sinhala and many others have been copying others if they had something more efficient and decent in in conformity with the culture and ethics of the times in the area. Hence, pants and shirts, not the Amudaya. This is cultural, not religious.
4. The Muslim girls wearing the Hijab, is interpreted as some as a religious requirement, whereas others say it is cultural requirement. Since, Muslin girls, did not wear the Hijab before, it was not a religions requirement., unless data proves it otherwise.
Therefore, Amarasiri recommends that the Hijab, the Amudaya, and going topless for women be banned, as they are cultural traditions, not religious requirements.
The school cultural tradition is the school uniform.

A request for Proposals is out, deadline. May 20, 2014 for 100,000 posters each in three languages, to be posted on the walls of Sri Lanka. It basically asks ALL Paras to leave the land of the Native Veddah. It is expected that most will get back to South India, Bihar, etc. based on the DNA Analysis.
Would you like to bid on it? A good opportunity for business. There is NO need to pay Commissions to politicians to bid on this RFQ.
What are the facts pertaining to Lanka? So, this is Amarasiri;s Poster, which Amarasiri wants on every wall in Lanka. Those Para who cannot live as Egalitarian members of society, in keeping with the Native Vehhah culture and Ethics, are requested to leave for their Native Land, South India, as proved by DNA analysis of the Paras.

But this is NOT Saudi Arabia! That is the point. This is a country of several religions, languages and cultures, & which has been enrichened by the multifarious streams that have flowed into it, and has long had a tradition of tolerance. The sad thing, to my mind, is the loss of large numbers of different parts of our population since about the 1940s, much of it due to growing IN-tolerance and shortsightedness.

Spark / April 26, 2014
First and foremost the Buddhism practiced by the Sinhalese is an insult to the true preaching’s of Lord Buddha. The Sinhalese are converts to Buddhism thanks to Sangamitta Thera from India. Buddhism is not about planting Buddha Statues in every street corner, by the side of dirty drains, next to meat/fish markets and alcohol shops or close to other locations of other religious worship creating disassociation and a nuisance. Buddhism is not about planting Buddha Statues by three wheeler drivers and administration of the same by such low caste principled yakko type fellows. Buddhism is not about blasting pirith on loudspeakers desecrating the silence of the environment. The statue of Lord Buddha is not a Christmas tree for an ignorant shameless population of Sinhalese to decorate with sparkling colorful lights to gain attraction. Buddhism is not a pedestal for a group of Mahanayake theros to create divisional politics and caste based nikayas such as the Siam, Malwatte, Asgiriya that play and pander with the dirty politics and racist policies of Sinhalese political leaders such as SWRD Bandaranayake and very recently Mahinda Rajapakse. Buddhism is not about these Mahanayake Theras to keep conveniently silent when thousands of Tamils were being murdered on the basis of patriotism and heroism in riots of 1915, 1956, 1958, 1977, 1983 and finally State genocide of 2009 by Sinhalese and only make an issue that Lord Buddha’s photographs need to be banned from being published in Newspapers because fish and meat or alcohol can be wrapped in the those same newspapers. Buddhism is not about banning meat and alchohol and even theatres on Poya days while Sinhalese are seen ganging up at supermarkets and shops the day before filling their larders with meat and alcohol. When Rev. Sangamitra Thera converted these uncivilized Sinhalese to Buddhism, little did he realize that these monkeys would one day abuse and use this religion as a tool for criminalizing society and manipulate the same for religious intolerance and racism. It is sad that India, being the true land of Lord Buddha and having the most exemplary Buddhists of the world fails to make a statement of the level of abuse and shameless indiscipline that is perpetrated by the Sinhalese in the name of Buddhism in Sri Lanka bringing untold shame on this great son of India Lord Buddha.
Therefore, Sinhalese are just a shameless race that lives on stating that they are Buddhists to show the world that they are civilized but actually otherwise. The UN reports and the new UNHRC resolution show ample proof of this.
It is thus an utter shame to state that Sinhalese are Buddhists though they hang onto this element to process and justify their ingrained shameless criminality.

You are mixing up between culture and religion. You want the Sri Lankan Muslims to follow Buddhist culture. Covering the head is a religious requirement. With regard to Saudi Arabia, and, I agree with you that Saudi Arabia should not enforce non-Muslims to follow their rule. However, if you go to Saudi Arabia under a visa (and it is issued only when you agree in the visa application to conform to their customs) then you have to follow their rule just like how Sri Lanka recently deported a British woman for bearing a Buddha tatoo on her arm and not in line with our Sri Lankan custom???.
I am a Sri Lankan Muslim. While I respect sincerely respect Buddhist customs, I should not be forced to follow them. If you disagree with what Saudi is doing then you should agree with the Muslims of Sri Lanka to show them differently.
Please note that the covering the head is not a new thing amongst the Muslims of Sri Lanka, but what is new is that the Buddhists (not the majority of them) have become bigots.
We have several critical issues in our country to deal with. Head covering is totally a ‘no issue’ created by people who have are alarminsts and others have joined the bandwagon. Colonialists tried to change Buddhists people for 500 years without any success. Could this modest dress cause any threat the Buddhism or culture?

CT is adding fuel to the fire by making partial statements like these for some time now. It appears to be part of CT strategy in de-stabilising SL.
As I have read elsewhere, this school has a stated uniform policy which is supported by many Muslim parents. It does not include the particular attire that the parents of this particular student want her to ware. There is no discrimination against Muslim students in this school. Number of Muslim students in fact occupy student leadership positions in the school (in sports etc). Fundamentalist Muslim elements have created this situation and even I would contribute to the principal’s fund had I been a parent of this school to fight against this Muslim fundamentalist assault on the school which is detrimental to the inter-communal harmony.
