Tamil Mytho-Maniacs Heading Towards Nandikadal Again

Dost thou know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed – Count Oxenstierna, 17th century Swedish statesman.

After attending the UNHRC sessions in Geneva, 2012, Dr. Noel Nadesan, novelist and Editor of the Australian Uthayam, and I were hanging around at the airport waiting to catch our flight back to Melbourne. As we had oodles of time on our hands we decided to have a coffee, more to dispel the boredom than for the need of a stimulant. On the way to the nearest coffee bar we bumped into amiable Gary Anandasangaree, the son of V. Anandasangaree, the veteran Tamil politician who survived the horrors of mono-ethnic politics of S. J. V. Chelvanayakam, the father of the Vadukoddai children who killed more Tamils (including his lieutenant, Appapillai Amirthalingam) than all the others put together.

Gary too was waiting to catch his plane to Canada. And, like us, he had time to kill. Gary then was a practising lawyer, aspiring to be a parliamentarian in the Canadian Parliament. Since then he has advanced to the next level of an MP, representing the Scarborough-Rouge Park constituency.

It was a pleasant meeting. We spent a little over an hour debating the Sri Lankan situation. We both stuck to our points of view and neither was conceding anything to other. This is typical of the debates that engage the expatriates in the diaspora. But I must confess that Gary was suave, polite and having imbibed strands of the democratic Western culture, sparred with me without the fanaticism of some of the Tamils abroad. We covered many aspects of the Sri Lankan crisis and one single aspect that is relevant to this essay was his denunciation of the Sri Lankan political culture which he said would not open space for a Tamil to become a prime minister. This accusation is a part of the litany of complaints which they repeat ad nauseam.

In the main, the Tamils argue that all governments have been “Sinhala governments” which had consistently denied the Tamils their rights. The known facts, however, prove that practically all governments consisted of Tamils and Muslims, including, at one time, S. J. V. Chelvanayakam’s representative, M. Tiruchelvam. In fact, the Citizenship Act, which they say was a discriminatory piece of legislation to deprive the Indian Tamils their citizenship, was passed with the consent and vote of the then Tamil leader, G. G. Ponnambalam who was a member of D. S. Senanayake’s cabinet. Ignoring this, they blame only “the Sinhala governments”.

Besides, the cry of “discrimination” was raised and taken to the violent extreme only by the Jaffna Tamil leadership and not by the other two minorities, the Muslims and the Indian Tamils.They also spoke Tamil. The discriminatory issues raised by the Jaffna Tamils should have affected them too, if they were valid. But they resolved their differences without resorting to brutal violence. Nor did they join the Jaffna Tamils in their campaigns against the Sinhala-Buddhists. So why did only the Jaffna Tamils resort to violent fascism, abandoning the democratic mainstream? What did they achieve?

Getting back to Gary’s accusation, my answer was that the issue of a Tamil becoming a prime minister was within the realms of possibility, if the conditions are ripe. In any case, I pointed out that the chances of a Tamil becoming a prime minister were much better than that of his father getting a “visa” to enter Jaffna. It was a time when Velupillai Prabhakaran was ruling the roost in the Jaffna and targeting Tamil leaders who were a threat to him. I quoted his father who had said that he was given the freedom to protest in Jaffna when Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike opened the Jaffna University but the Tamil thalaivar, Velupillai Prabhakaran, who claimed to be the “the sole representative of the Tamils”, would not let his father even step into the north. I said that his father, like most of the old guard in Jaffna, could live under the protection of “the Sinhala governments” but not in the place which is called the “homeland of the Tamils”.

I also reminded him that in the past the Sinhalese had opted to have Tamils as their kings and there was nothing to prevent a moderate and rational Tamil becoming the prime minister. In fact, Lakshman Kadiragamar, who had won the confidence of the Sinhalese, was on his way to become the prime minister when he was assassinated (2005) by a Tamil Tiger terrorists, I said. Even the latest developments prove the possibility of a Tamil becoming the prime minister. If a Tamil can become the Chief Justice what would prevent a politically qualified Tamil to be the prime minister? Besides, both A. Amirthalingam and R. Sampanthan had been appointed as the leaders of the opposition without the requisite numbers in the House to hold that position. If a minority Tamil can beat the majority Sinhalese and become the leader of the opposition isn’t there the possibility of a Tamil becoming the prime minister under favourable conditions?

In an attempt to drive his point home, Gary cited the example of Barack Obama, a member of the black minority becoming the President of white America. I countered by saying that Obama was elected not because he was black but because he was white. Obama made himself acceptable to the white majority by articulating and defending their values, their aspirations, and their interests. He went all out to identify himself with the greater America. He succeeded because he was more white than Bush. Available statistics prove that he had killed more civilians than Bush in “protecting the national interests of America”. In fact, when his family pastor in Chicago, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who baptised his children, declaimed America, crying out loud from his pulpit : “Not God bless America but God damn America!”, he quickly dissociated with such anti-American politics which he considered blasphemous.

Besides, how many votes would he have got if he followed Malcolm X or Louis Farrakhan who advocated a separate state for the Afro-Americans? Clearly Obama won not by identifying himself with the Afro-Americans but with the White Americans. Of course, he is with Afro-Americans like the way white liberals are with this minority groups. But, in essence, Obama succeeded because he decided to work meticulously and unerringly within the white framework.

Gary too can succeed only if he gets out of Tamil ghetto in Toronto and embraces the greater Canadian community. How far can he go if he demands a separate state in Toronto? Even the French Quebecois are finding it difficult to get ahead with their separatist agenda. What are the chances of Gary succeeding if he adopts the politics of Prabhakaran and Wigneswaran in Canada?
The irredeemable flaw in Tamil politics is that they prefer to believe in their myths and not the realities facing them. They blame “the Sinhala governments” at all times because that is the only diversion they can provide to cover up their inherent failure to serve the socio-economic needs of the Tamil people. For instance, Tamil propaganda machine had blamed “the Sinhala government” for every Tamil leader killed by the Tamil Pol Pot, Prabhakaran. They never accepted responsibility for their criminal activities. In their heart of hearts they hero worship Prabhakaran – the most efficient mass killer of Tamils after Sankili. But they abandon him when they can’t defend his Pol Potist fascism and accuse “the Sinhala governments” of creating him. As usual, they want to have it both ways. The Jaffna Tamils prefer to hide in their myths because there is no hope in the grim realities facing them. They fear that the advancing realities will drag them to Nandikadal again.

The “Sinhala governments” have become the scapegoat for their failed politics. They even accused “the Sinhala government” of assassinating Neelan Tiruchelvam (1999). And, believe it or not, some pro-Tiger elements in the West, had swallowed that lie hook, line and sinker. For instance, at a Geneva session I openly accused the Tamil Tiger terrorists of planning and executing the cold blooded murder of Neelan. Jeremy Corbyn, the current leader of the Opposition in UK Parliament, a pro-Tamil Labourite, was seated next to me. When I finished my presentation he turned towards me and asked why I blamed the LTTE. I replied: “Simple! Only the Tigers produce suicide bombers. No one else. The Tiger footprints were all over Neelan.” He turned away with a sour face.

These remarks are written as a prelude to the latest news item published in the Indian Express (8/10/2016) extolling the achievement of Gary in getting a resolution passed in the Canadian Parliament declaring January as “Tamil Heritage Month”. The news item did not elaborate as to what form or shape this would take. It merely stated : “Come January, when Tamils around the world will celebrate Thai Pongal, the whole of Canada will celebrate it as Tamil Heritage Month. Festivities for the inaugural Tamil Heritage Month across Canada will commence in January 2017, which coincides with the Canada 150 celebrations…..”

My friend, Mahinda Gunasekera, a leading activist in the Canadian front combating anti-Sri Lankan propaganda, explained to me that the motion presented by Gary Anandasangaree, MP (Liberal Party) was adopted by the House of Commons of Canada in October 2016. He added : ”The Tamil organizations would have lobbied the various federal legislators to win their support, mainly those MPs in the Greater Toronto Area where most Tamils live and make up a fair share (10 to 15 per cent) of the vote bank, which makes it helpful to win the assent of the legislators. Although adopted by the House of Commons, it is not binding on the populace. For the Tamils in Canada who have had an unfavourable media with several of their members engaging in crime and violence such as passport fraud, credit card fraud, human/drug smuggling, extortion, funding of the LTTE which is a designated international terrorist group banned in Canada effective April 8, 2006, staged accidents to swindle auto insurers, intra-community gang violence including shootings, etc., necessitating the Toronto Police to set up a Special Tamil Task Force, will now be able to use the official declaration of the Tamil Heritage Month’ to whitewash their past ugly history. Although this declaration does not entitle the Tamil community to any special privileges or grants from the three levels of government, they have succeeded in milking every level (municipal/provincial/federal) to the fullest of all grant funding available to the multi-ethnic community.”

All said and done, Gary deserves a pat on the back for getting the resolution passed even though it is only a cosmetic exercise to give a bit of shine to the exaggerated claims of Canadian “multiculturalism”. To the Tamils, of course, this would be an additional boost to their ego. They would claim this resolution as a great victory for the Tamils. They will use it to taunt the Sri Lankan government of not giving the Tamils their due place, their rights and dignity unlike Canada which has declared January as the “Tamil Heritage month.” But a close examination of this statement would reveal that it is nothing more than hot air. It does not elevate Canadian Tamils to anywhere near the status enjoyed by the Tamils in Sri Lanka. In fact, not even in India, the only historically valid homeland of the Tamils, do the Tamils have the dignified status granted to the Tamils by “the Sinhala governments”.

Take for instance, the declaration of January as “the Tamil Heritage Month”. The month of January was declared as the “Tamil Heritage month” because Thai Pongal falls on January 15. Despite what the news report states, the Canadians are not going to drop everything else and spend the whole month dancing kavadi with the Tamils in the kovils. That is the hype. The reality is that the Tamils have been given far greater respect and dignity in Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka they are entitled to two other days as public holidays. March 7 is a national holiday to celebrate Maha Sivarathri. And October 29th is also declared a national holiday to celebrate Deepavali. These are substantial and meaningful acts enacted to honour and respect the Tamil community. “The Sinhala governments” have gone beyond empty words in a parliamentary resolution. The vilified “Sinhala governments” have bestowed glory and respect to the sacred days of the Tamils long before Canada took to “multiculturalism”. Words in a resolution are cheap. But have they granted even one day as a holiday for the Tamils? No such honour has been granted to the Tamils in Canada. Nor will they ever get such privileges. In short, while the Sri Lankan Tamils will be enjoying each of these three days as a holiday the Canadian Tamils will have to toil the whole day at work.

The “Sinhala governments” have also declared the sacred days of Muslims and Christians as statutory holidays, despite Article 9 of the Constitution which is meant to give only Buddhism “the foremost place”. Canada, which claims to be a secular state, has declared only Easter, Christmas and Boxing — all three celebrate Christian events – as national holidays. Is this secularism? Is this multiculturalism? If only the days sacred to the Buddhists were declared as holidays in Sri Lanka the Tamils would have gone round the world, crying from roof tops, accusing “the Sinhala governments” of discrimination. But the Tamil Canadians are quite content to live as second-class citizens without due recognition given to their religion. This inability to distinguish between illusion and reality confirms only the incurable propensity of the Tamils to believe in their own myths. In Canada they hail Christian supremacy as a mark of democratic secularism. In Canada they are quite content to accept obediently their second-class status without a protest. But in Sri Lanka they will complain to the Canadian High Commissioner that they have been deprived of the sanctity of their sacred days.

According to my understanding of the news item, the Tamils can organise their own celebrations throughout the month and enjoy it as much as they want. So what’s the big deal? They can do that with or without the resolution from the Parliament. Contrast this to the respect given to the Tamils in Sri Lanka. It goes beyond empty words uttered in the Canadian Parliament to make their sacred days more meaningful. At least the holiday would give the pious Tamils the opportunity to devote their day for spiritual activities, without being encumbered by labouring in whatever place they work. Tamil bigotry, bent on demonising the Sinhala-Buddhists, refuses to recognise the higher status granted to the Tamils in Sri Lanka. They will continue to dismiss these acts of “the Sinhala governments” that give equality and dignity to the Tamils as having no value. They argue that they will get equality and dignity only under their “Pee-lam”.

Their double standards expose their hypocrisy. Take the case of the Tamil expatriates who boasts of being treated as equals, unlike in Sri Lanka. In which Western democracy are their sacred days recognised as holidays? Or their language given the official status? Or their culture honoured the way it is done in Sri Lanka? Which Canadian prime minister would go to a Hindu kovil to pay pooja and worship a Hindu deity? Of course, a Canadian prime minister may make a political visit to a Hindu kovil to grab Tamil votes. Nothing beyond that. But these cosmetics and optics satisfy the Tamil Canadians because they see their heavenly paradise not in kovils but in the supermarket.

Besides, they dare not admit their second-class status in Canada and in other Western nations because it would give the lie to their bogus claim of being discriminated by “the Sinhala governments”. So they pretend to be equal to the Canadians when their culture and religion are not on par with that of Sri Lanka. They pretend that they are equal when the Tamil Hindus are herded into a Christmassy barn to enjoy only Christian holidays. So don’t be surprised if they go out of the way in January 2017 to celebrate some puffery in the Canadian resolution and even dance a kavadi, beating a drum that produces only sounds ( goo-ooo – rung! goo-ooo-rung!) as vacuous as the words in the Canadian resolution.

Canada, which has the largest concentration of Tamil expatriates ( “from just around 150 in 1983, the Tamil diaspora has grown manifold to an estimated 3 lakh plus at present” — Indian Express) boasts of being the first to introduce “multiculturalism” to the world. The one-eyed jacks of Canada hardly know that tolerant multiculturalism has been an established way of life from the time the Indo-Aryan settlers (Sinhalese) transformed the primeval jungles into a habitable civilisation in the pre-Christian era. They are unaware that the inter-ethnic relations exploded into violence only after the mono-ethnic extremism of the north abandoned the traditional principles of co-existence in a pluralistic nation and pursued divisive politics to create an exclusive racist enclave for the Tamils of the north. Their racist ideology based on hate politics of the “other” (i.e., the Muslims and the Sinhalese) resulted in ethnic cleansing of the north. Their hate politics turned into Pol Potist violence dragging the Jaffnaites to the lowest circle in the Tamil inferno.

The irony is that the Tamils of Canada, like the Tamils in other affluent Western societies, are quite happy to live as second-class citizens in their Western places of domicile without any of the social, political and cultural gains that had elevated them to the level of the most privileged community in Sri Lanka. (I shall come to this aspect on another day.)

But for the moment let us consider how Canada had treated its minorities, particularly its First Nation and the Innuits. Take, for instance, their national flag which displays only the maple leaf, representing only the White settlers who destroyed the indigenous people and their culture. Compare that with the Sri Lankan national flag. The two leading minorities – the Tamils and the Muslims – are represented side by side with the majority Sinhalese. A national flag is the highest symbol of any nation. The Tamils in Canada are quite happy with the Maple Leaf – a symbol that has ignored the existence of Tamils and other minorities as citizens of Canada.

Sri Lanka, on the contrary, went out of the way to give the minorities their due place in the national flag. The Tamil leader, G. G. Ponnambalam and the Muslim leader, T. B. Jayah, sat in a committee with the Sinhala leaders to design the flag of the nation. The orange stripe gives the Tamils the highest place of honour, as equal partners, in the nation. And the green stripe represents the Muslim. There are 193 flags flying at the UN and only the Sri Lankan flag has given a place of honour to the Tamils. When the president salutes the flag he salutes all three communities without any discrimination. That is the highest place of honour that can be given to any community in any nation. Tamils fly high in the Sri Lankan flag.

Take also the case of the national anthem. It was first sung in Tamil on Independence Day and, though it was not featured at state function for some time, it has been revived once again. It was reported that there were tears in the eyes of R. Sampanthan when he heard it being sung in Tamil. More than the music his heart must have been overflowing with the elated feeling roused by the sweet sounds of the Tamil language ringing in his ears. The Canadian national anthem is sung in French and English. Since Canada is supposed to be more liberal, democratic and pluralistic than Sri Lanka when are the Sri Lankan Tamils likely to listen to the Canadian national anthem in Tamil? If it can be sung in French why not do so in Tamil too? Does the secular Canadian state recognise only the English and French as citizens of Canada?

It is clear that the Tamils have no symbolic representation at the highest level of the Canadian state to make them feel that they are respected citizens of Canada. They are reduced to invisible non-entities. To emphasise the difference it is necessary to repeat that in Sri Lanka their identity is given a dignified place in the flag. Their language is enshrined as an official language. Their dignity is reinforced each time the national anthem is sung in Tamil. And their religion has been placed on the same privileged position as the other religions. But in Canada no language, no flag, no national anthem, no religion to give them even a semblance of dignity at the highest level of the state. So of the two nations which one has given the Tamils their due place as a minority? Is it Canada? Or Sri Lanka? So who is discriminating against whom?

Leaving aside the lunatic fringe, “the Sinhala-Buddhist governments” have established, from day one of independence, and with incremental steps to this day, that the minorities should not be reduced to second-class status. They have gone out, as far as they could, to be inclusive. The Canadian example proves it. There was / is discrimination of sorts no doubt. The fact is that in Sri Lanka discrimination is the only factor that is shared by all communities. The myth is that it is applied only to the Tamils by “the.Sinhala governments”. As everyone knows, it was the Sinhala youth who first took up arms, crying discrimination. Their cry was on a class basis. The Tamils turned it into a racist cry. And like the Sinhala fascist of the JVP the Tamils fascists too had to pay a heavy price for resorting to violence.

Of all the minorities only the Tamils of the North – not any other region – raised this racist cry and dragged it to the extreme. And they reaped what they sowed. The irony, however is that studies have confirmed that the Tamils have been the most privileged society in Sri Lanka. (More of this later). Their cry of discrimination has been to exploit victimology as their favourite marketing tool to gain political mileage. They raised the cry of “discrimination” as an anti-Sinhala-Buddhist slogan purely to retain their feudal and colonial powers, privileges, positions and perks. In reality, the English-speaking, Saivite, Vellahla Tamils of Jaffna never lost their grip on Jaffna and outside Jaffna from feudal times. (They lost it for a brief while when their protégé, Prabhakaran, put them in their place). The primary objective of their politics was to cling on to their feudal and colonial status. They could do so in the 20th century only through violence. That is how they came to drag the Tamil people to Nandikadal.

Which takes me to Count Oxenstierna quoted above. The ignorance that darkens this vexed issue is as vast as the clouds that covers the sky in the rainy season. In the case of the Vellahla leadership of Jaffna, they manufactured political myths to keep the Tamil people in the dark. As a caste transiting from Vellahlaism to a 20th century class they could no longer maintain their supremacy based on Arumuka Navalar’s Saivite theology which elevated the Vellahlas, the Sudras, to the acme in the caste hierarchy. The old feudal order was dying, if not dead. Having lost Saivism as a justification they took to racism to hold the divisive forces rising within the peninsula under their casteist jackboots They could maintain their supremacy only by diverting the focus on an external bugbear – the Sinhala-Buddhists. They manufactured political myths and theories to hide the internal dynamics of casteism that had distorted and perverted Jaffna politics.Having lost Vellahlaism as a hegomonistic force, legitimised by revised Saivite-Navalarism, they raised anti-Sinhala-Buddhist hate politics as a defensive mechanism to retain their grip on peninsular politics.

As shown in the Canadian example, they held a higher status both in Jaffna and outside the peninsula than any Tamil in the affluent West. But they cried discrimination which was the most marketable slogan to demonise the Sinhala-Buddhists. The English-speaking, Vellahla, Jaffna Tamils constituted the most reactionary political force that fought tooth and nail from feudal times to retain their power as the ruling caste/class. It is the non-Vellahla Tamils who had to pay dearly with their lives.

The darkest chapter of Sri Lankan history has been the criminal oppression of the low-castes by the Vellahlas. Obsessed with a misguided sense of caste superiority they enslaved and persecuted their own people throughout their brief history. They never opened out to embrace liberating ideologies either of the Left or the Right. They were stuck permanently in the narrow rut of casteism, racism and now rabid Saivism. They never produced an enlightened leadership to lead Jaffna out of its oppressive, fascist past. In the end the best of the English-speaking, Vellahla, Jaffna Tamil elite begat the Vadukoddai Resolution, which begat Prabhakaran, which begat Pol Potist fascism, which begat Nandikadal. Prof. Kumar David put it more bluntly when he condemned the Tamil leadership as a bunch of “congenital idiots”. The record reveals that the Tamils of the North suffered more under the Tamil leadership that under any other regime.

It is their folly that led the Tamil people all the way to Nandikadal. The new signs rising in the peninsular landscape indicate that the “congenital idiots” of Jaffna are preparing to take the people, once again, to Nandikadal.

      I really cant see why all the dividing thoughts seem to be his favourites while entire folks in and out make every effort to take every actions not to widen the gaps between ethnic folks.

      I wish ANY authorities woudl could take any rigorous actions against the kind of writers – that do more with rabblerousing than doing the other way around to bring parties together.

      I dont think many in today s society would ever be interested in reading about the caste, creed or any otherdifferences in this torn country.
      Those sick ones who are the minority would please to read them, but we must not work on their rise in numbers.

      Please [Edited out], try to see you in mirror let alone today – perhaps you will realize finally nothing kind of yours can pave us theway for PEACE but peace.

          The sinhala Govigama were so kind to H. L. D. Mahindapala, that he romanced with a tamil woman from east of Lankawe his v_ife. Sahodaraya Bintanne in Ampara district, ….

          Ramji Ambedkar was thrown off the rickshaw by a rickshawalla of low birth poverty- socio-economic unhygienic careless yob.

          Those who are disillusioned resent people with strong hopes.

      This man HLDM should be charged with spreading Racial hate.

      Writing Racial hate Articles should not be allowed in our newly found Democracy also Racial hate speeches too should be banned.
      Why CT was not able to exercise its right to be ” Edited out ” this venomous article.

      Speaking out for ones Right in life is not the same as spewing Venom like this man against one community.

      The smirke on the face itself proves how dangerous one can be.
      Spewing Hate on CT is dangerous it’s appropriate on the Racist web where this man a regular ,
      See what happened to Hitler as same as the Hitler’s speech against the Jews.
      CT should never have allowed this kind of article which is a repetition of his own venomous belief. Kind of person’s view will continue to pour Hate in the country , even though the man does not live in the country he continue to be a HATE LORD, WHO IS A DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY.

        To be honest, I really dont know a man in his age could write the kind of article one behind the other. Either the person is suffering from a long sickness or he should be mad. Australian govt should focus on the issue, if the writer already bears the citizenship of thatcountry. In GErmany or any other european soil, would not allow the kind of rabbelrousing to take ground this way.

        I simply dont know what this man expects from his life ?

        Can anybody please explain me what kind of person this HLDM is ?

        What qualifications he brings to behave this way ?

        We fought long 30 years and put the country so behind. Why to hang on spreading only hatreds dividing the gaps being the majority and the minorities.

        What would he pass to the youth of the country ?

      Popular Rabbelrouser -HDLM provides food for thoughts of the extremists giving them a hope. But I really dont think many would fall in his tricks. We must not even add the kind of topics to these forums, I am very against CT publishing this headless person s thoughts this way.

      See, Cholan or the like abuse the chances and they instead spread further hatreds. In the same manner, our men like MAXes do their part too. Both extremists and their supporters rather cause widening the gaps than work get the parties together. For a period the man has to live, why to stay causing divisions among us further is the question comes to my mind.

      Both parties have made their mistakes. Some like Southern extremists and nothern extremists even today have been continuing to doing so. But I still believe, like the case in Germany s NSU or NPD candidates, all forms of extreme thinkers get cornered automatically.
      No people with hearts and healthy minds would join them.
      More awarness programs are there, the healthy majorities will surely questions why to divide us srilankens.

      It is a long journey, no easy with all the culprits to move forward, but we will make it. Even achieving few steps getting close can help the next step. It is also a relay race. But the race is no means simple. As the termites build their caves being that industrious, we the lankens regardless of differences we have to work for a common goals. There is no other alternative left..

    What I hear, these Tamils are “MALABAR TAMILS” who talked thelugu – a dravidean dialect – now have become Sri lankan Tamils and are relating to Tamilnadu. It is the stupid Kalu sudda – politicians who thought they were the chosen ones to lead the country of that new “Sri lanka” and destroyed the country. Now the new generation is doing the same. How can we say Sinhala people are nationalists when they have made the Tamilnadu Language the national Language ? Will that ever help Sinhala language to be established as its’ nourishing country. Sinhale people are nourishing Tamil at the expense of Sinhala language.

    The country’s flag is not only for Sinhala people and that makes Sinhale is not only for sinhala people. But some anti-sinhala Vultures say Sinhala people are nationalists.

    Tamils want more and politicians with Tamil blood and christian heritage are eager to do that.

    Now muslims are trying the same thing to make one part of the country a smaller Saudi arabia and that will eventually makes the whole coluntry muslim.

      You seem to be talking from your other end again.

      What bring keeping all on the national flag and doing the other way around….. ? Please accept the harm had been done to minorities by us the majority. That is the first of this all series of new thoughts. If you cant do so, go to Mulleriyawa leaving us.

      Secondly, any forms of extremists or the supporters from both sides should be marginalized as is the case in Germany after the war ends.

      There shold be new laws need to bring effective int erms of the wording being used in today s media- warning them as is the case in Italy, other european countries, with the kind of problem solving issues. Neger is a derogatory termin europe. Some states can even put someone in jail if publicly being used against. Todays germans cant be racists, so as teh sinhalaya of the day – even if Gonthadipila and you guys behave racial, but we not.. we belong to the majority that have been fighting for our rights.. our means rights for all srilankens.

      [What I hear, these Tamils are “MALABAR TAMILS” who talked thelugu – a dravidean dialect – now have become Sri lankan Tamils and are relating to Tamilnadu.]

      What I hear, these Sinhalese are “Hybrid Bengalis” who talked Creole– a Pathetic dialect – now have become Sinhalese and are relating to Lanka.

      Mahavansa clearly articulates that Vijaya was a half Lion, a child of abduction and rape, and a direct product of incest.

      Then, Vijaya and his friends went to Tamil Pandya kingdom to get their partners, so most of the descendants are half Tamils.

      In a senseless hope that repeated lies would become truth (Trumpism), Dimwit Softy is tirelessly trying. Poor thing!

      Malabar is Kerala (Malayalam) land. Then, there is a strong Malayalee connection as well among Sinhala people.

        As the author has pointed out in an earlier article, the Sinhalese are a great nation because they have their own language, culture, art, music, technology, the great chronicle Mahavamsa, and above their, their own country.

        Why have the Dravidians, despite their best efforts, failed to do so? Rohan has given the reason above. They are only half Sinhala.

    It is now almost definite that Gotabaya Rajapakshe is the next candidate from the Joint Opposition (SLFP) for the Presidency. Since there are tens of thousands of Sinhala-Buddhists out there to vote for him, he will win with a Landside. However, among the Rajapakshes, Gotabaya is very well known for his Anti-minority stance (he is Anti-Tamil and Anti-Muslim). Sri Lankan Minorities get ready for another Anti-Minority Rajapakshe government very soon with Gotabaya as the President and Mahinda as the Prime Minister. The Minorities (Tamils & Muslims) will be Kaput very soon.

      Minorities Kaput,

      First of all, Gotabaya Rajapakshe has to give up his US citizenship to contest elections in Sri Lanka. Secondly, if the executive Presidency is abolished in the new constitution, My3 will be the last executive President in Sri Lanka. Thirdly, even if he contest, he will not get a single vote from the Muslims and Tamils. The Muslims consider him as Anti-Muslim (the man who created grease devils and the BBS to attack the Muslims). The Tamils consider him as Anti-Tamil war criminal. With only Sinhala-Buddhist votes that are divided between UNP and SLFP, if the UNP fields the right candidate, there is very little chance for Gota to win. And even if he wins, not only the minorities, even the majority Sinhala-Buddhists who oppose him will be Kaput. We have seen how he killed the journalists, how he killed people in Gampaha who protested for drinking water, how he killed the Welikada prisoners who protested, he will be another Pol Pot in Sri Lanka and all the thieves, drug dealers and criminals will gather around him, more than the minorities, the majority will be Kaput. Even God/Buddha cannot help Sri Lanka.

        The BBS was funded by Norway and USA to create enough noise in the country and upset Rajapaksa support to achieve a regime change. Otherwise why should Noway, and USA invite the nascent BBS team to those countries? The Rajapaksas awere too stupid to see what was cooking.

    RE: Tamil Mytho-Maniacs Heading Towards Nandikadal Again

    “In the main, the Tamils argue that all governments have been “Sinhala governments” which had consistently denied the Tamils their rights. The known facts, however, prove that practically all governments consisted of Tamils and Muslims, including, at one time, S. J. V. Chelvanayakam’s representative, M. Tiruchelvam. In fact, the Citizenship Act, which they say was a discriminatory piece of legislation to deprive the Indian Tamils their citizenship, was passed with the consent and vote of the then Tamil leader, G. G. Ponnambalam who was a member of D. S. Senanayake’s cabinet. Ignoring this, they blame only “the Sinhala governments”.”

    Who voted against the Citizenship act? The LSSP and CP, the Sinhala dominated non-racist left parties.

    Who voted for the Citizenship Act The Racist UNP and Tamil Parties.

    So, the UNP and the Tamil parties are dominated by Sinhala and Tamil racists.

    “As everyone knows, it was the Sinhala youth who first took up arms, crying discrimination. Their cry was on a class basis. The Tamils turned it into a racist cry. And like the Sinhala fascist of the JVP the Tamils fascists too had to pay a heavy price for resorting to violence.”

    Racism and Fascism are the twin curses of a a nation.

    HLDM,
    Why SWRD called SJV negotiated & signed a pact to resolve the top most national issue?

    Why Dudley called SJV negotiated and signed pact in 1969 ?

    Why did the SWRD govt during the 1958 riots put many of the Tamils from the South in ships and sent to Trincomale and Point Pedro ?
    SWRD felt by sending the Tamils to their homeland , they will be safer.

    It is obvious from your above analysis you are campaigning against the expat Tamils who live in the US, Europe and Australia.

    HLDM Tamils are not native or the founders of Canada or many other countries in the west but are recent immigrants. The natives of Canada are the American Indians and the Inuit. The founders of modern Canada are the British and the French in Quebec. This is why their culture takes importance and given the pride of place. The same in other western countries. Unlike in their own land in Sri Lanka the Tamil immigrants in these countries are largely treated well and they have prospered within the frame work of this countries and they need not ask for more. Just like Sinhalese immigrants like you in Australia and in other parts of the west. So are you also asking for Sinhalese Buddhist rights in these places and running around erecting Budda statues and destroying churches in the west in the name of Sinhalese and Buddhism, just like you do in the island? Why for the same reason. For just like the Tamils you are another bunch of immigrants. So stop distorting and misrepresentation facts to suit your extremist Sinhalese Buddhist agenda.
    In Sri Lanka Tamils have every right to ask for their just rights, self determination and their homeland, as they are indigenous to the land and have lived in the north and east for that matter in the entire island from prehistoric times and have continuously ruled the north and east. There were hardly any Sinhalese in the north and east until state sponsored colonisation of Sinhalese on ethnically cleansed Tamil lands started 60 years ago. Population statistics and place names prove this. Even the Muslims arrived in the east only a few centuries ago as refugees seeking asylum. They are not natives to the east but immigrants from South India.
    Tamils both Indigenous and Indian are the largest contributors to the Sinhalese make up 70% compared to all other people. It is the Tamil language not Sanskrit Pali or Prakrit that has contributed most to the formation and evolution of the Sinhalese language. Around 40% of the modern Sinhalese vocabulary is derived from Tamil. The Sinhalese grammar lexicon syntax and alphabet is purely derived from Tamil. Not from Sanskrit or Pali. Take all the Tamil from Sinhalese there will be no Sinhalese.
    Modern Sinhalese culture dress food habits dances music is all a reflection and mirror image of the ancient Tamils( modern day Kerala and Tamil Nadu). They worship the Tamil goddess of chastity Pattini. The Tamil God Lord Murugan as their war god. Like all good Tamil peasants who worship Aiyanar the Sinhalese peasants also worship Aiyanar but call him Aiyanaicke. The Sinhalese also celebrate the April Tamil New year and now call it Sinhalese New year. Everything about the Sinhalese is Tamil.
    2300 years ago Tamil Hindus and other indigenous tribes converted to Buddhism and gradually evolved as Sinhalese. Around 200 years ago Tamil Catholics from Wattala to Negombo became Sinhalese and around 60-100 years ago Tamil Catholics from Negombo to Puutalam were forced to become Sinhalese. Now they are all Sinhalese Aryans. Further around 50% of the present day Sinhalese are purely descended from low caste Indian Tamil slave imports, who were brought into the island by the Dutch and Portuguese colonials. If there is anything Aryan about the Sinhalese it is just in their wet dreams of from the wrong side of the bed from the Portuguese Dutch and the British. Everything about them reek of Tamils. If not for Tamils no Sinhalese. Go and fly a kite. Tamils in the island have every right to demand for 1st class status just like the Sinhalese it is their birth right. Why don’t you for a change right about all this truth, instead of posting all this untruths. You in Australia enjoying the good life and Age Pension, thanks to your Tamil wife’s relatives but you are constantly spitting venom at them

      Real Siva Sankaran Sarma

      The Telugu speaking Vadugar were not only ruling Sri Lanka(Sinhalese & Tamils) but they were also ruling the whole of South India including Tamil Nadu. If you listen to the following video, the Sinhalese and Tamils did not have any problems until the Telugu speaking Vadugar took over the entire region, very interesting, however the video title does not match the contents.

        Thanks for informing that Srilanlankan Tamils are descendants of Vadugar. In the stone inscription in Koneswaram Temple it is said that the work statrted by king Kolakkotan will ultimately become the ownership of Vadugar. Does this mean that Trincomalee will be under control of Tamils in the future.

        Munnal Kolakkotan mootum thiruppaniyai
        Pinnal Parangi pidipanel
        Poonai kan, puhai kan, senkannan ponapin
        Mane waduhai vidum.

        After it was captured by Portugese (Parangi), it will be in the hands of poonai kan (Dutch), Puhai kan (British)and Senkannan (Sinhalese), it will go to Vadugar (Tamils).

        North-east merger has been promised to Tamils and international community and it will come despite any objection. The merger with Tamil domination is vital to the interest of India to control Trincomalee port and counter Chinese influence in Colombo port.

          I agree whole heartedly with you Jim. Butchering VP was one of the biggest crimes comitted by the Sinhalese. The guy was at the peak of what he is best at – killing Tamils. And that stupid private had to go and butcher him using a mamotty.

          VP will be best remebered for 3 things by me:

          1- Killing Tamils. Especially those who were having a grouse against the Sinhalese. In fact his LTTE killed more Tamils than the Sinhala Army.

          2- He ate huge amounts of food that could have gone to nourish so many young Tamils, causing malnourishment of the Tamils at best and death by stavation at the worst. The stupid Sinhalas (Wal Ali Gon Thadiyas) kept on feeding them. If not for VP we would have been extinct by now.

          3- He developed the suicide bomb kit thereby paving the way for the extermination of brave young Tamils. If they were not taken out that way we would have been – that is right – extinct by now.

        Cholan the baby terrorist, you can pour your anger through these pages as long as CT authorities allow you to do so. Sin you. Your a victim of equally stupid fore farthers of Tamil racism.

        LTTE too is a result of them. ie: the South Indian priest, SJV Chelva – C. Sunkaralinkam etc. Then Dutch who brought Vellala’s from the coast of Malabar. Brits too did a similar damage. Some of the southern politicos like JRJ had their portion of the blunder.

        I can elaborate the birth of LTTE further, and the so called ’56 to ’83, but, its going to be futile effort since your totally blind to the history and a stupid in full scale.

        Kids, without their dads are their not only in NE but everywhere in the country, including Kent Farm, Dollar Farm, Kebithigollawa, Colombo, Anuradhapura, Weligama and many many more places, due to your ‘heros’ heinous crimes.

        What bloody scientific methods you talk of your deadly killer’s death? Your desire for a return of that killer should be met by the relevant authorities.

        The ‘cardboard’ or otherwise Generals of the legitimate army of Sri Lanka knew what the suited remedy to the world’s ruthless terrorist organization and its members.

        If your hate to read General Kamal Guneratne, Admiral Karannagoda or CA Chandraprema’s Gota’s War, read Thamilini when your free from dreaming of how to get the blood of Sinhalese and raise the Eelam flag all over Sri Lanka.

          See how many of the country are under poverty lines even today -a s Sirasa Gammada or the like programs reveal – not having the most cheapest food item which drinking water.

          But those politicians to hold extravaganza parties abusing poeple s fund that way, not thinking about the masses making up 30% of the rural population not having the essentials – must be a curse or not ?

          Alone this curse is boomeranging on them today. Nothing else.
          Rajapakshes should be highly punished for all the harm done to this nation. Collectively his term put the end to the war, but he ate the cake greedily not sharing to anyone.

              Sure, his term completed teh war against but it was not his magical powers but collectivity. To that time, LTTE was weaker. All these you may read in the web by doing self searches. I have no time to teach you – besides, the kind of men of your nature cant simply see it.

              Why is that the huge gaps of the fund transactions are not answerable yet by Rajaakshes. They point finger at others today, but almost President is attacked by anyone today as had not been the case in the days of Mararud MR days.

              Please interview for yourself some 50 villagers and get it by yourself, most of them are like brainwashed not knowing the bits about the facts of teh previous regime. Who to be blamed if not to Media men worked for Raja then ?

              TOday, even in ITN and SLTV they dont have moderators of the Hudson Silva -who from dawn to dusk abused TV in favours of Rajafamily.

              You may attack today men in power, since they allow you to do so.but in the days of the rascals, even former president CBK was not given any chance to leave her comments on anything.
              Nor was RW given due chances to add his thoughts whenever begged for it. What do you talk more.. you may be either sick or fully controlled by Rajaakshe barbaric family

    To all participants,
    This writer, Mr. H.L.D. Mahindapala’s focus in this article vividly explains his racist mentality against Tamils just like all his previous writings I have read.
    “Leaving aside the lunatic fringe, “the Sinhala-Buddhist governments” have established, from day one of independence, and with incremental steps to this day, that the minorities should not be reduced to second-class status. They have gone out, as far as they could, to be inclusive. The Canadian example proves it. There was / is discrimination of sorts no doubt. The fact is that in Sri Lanka discrimination is the only factor that is shared by all communities. The myth is that it is applied only to the Tamils by “the.Sinhala governments”. As everyone knows, it was the Sinhala youth who first took up arms, crying discrimination. Their cry was on a class basis. The Tamils turned it into a racist cry. And like the Sinhala fascist of the JVP the Tamils fascists too had to pay a heavy price for resorting to violence”
    He never touches on how all the successive majoritarian Governments terrorized Tamils living in the South soon after independence and followed with changing Constitution and made Tamils second class citizens. In the 40s Tamils were manning and Administering all the Departments, Corporations, Financial and Education Institutions, All the Forces, and Police together with Sinhalese because under British rule the appointments and College admissions were not racial but meritorious. Came independence, racist and majoritarian rule took over in all sectors of Administration. Who in the world today is not aware of the recent history of Sri Lanka created by the Sinhala only hegemony that took over the Country from the British?
    Who is Diaspora and who created Diaspora starting with the first anti Tamil violence soon after independence.
    Racism and jealousy was let loose only in Sri Lanka whereas in Countries like India the wise Leaders put caste, race and religion at the back and focused on development allowing all races to live their lives. Enjoying your ceremonies, worshipping your Gods, using your own language are recognized as basic human rights of every individual. Ceylon that was the envy of not only India but was the envy of all Asian Countries got rolled down to todays shameless accusation as a minority killing criminal Country! Who is holding Tamils as the responsible party for todays situation in Sri Lanka? When did Tamils have a share in decision making for Sri Lanka?. On the contrary Tamil youth who were employment and education centered were forced to take to arms only after they were driven against the wall by marginalizing and blocked from all traditional avenues for a living.
    Can anyone believe the CM of the NPC can be a terrorist? What was his past and what is he now? Writers like this can very well make those who have the machinery in their hands to turn around the Country instead of pouring oil to the fire and facilitating rolling down further. Even today if people like the CM of NPC is given a chance in making decisions for the Country, all these bad politics that is detrimental can be done away with. This type of racism spreading writers will be put to rest and real positive thinking writers be allowed to participate in helping decision makers. Who has the power to apply racism?. Is it the powerless Tamils? Ask Mr. mahidapala!

    One of the well respected leader, once the deputy prime minister of Singapore, of Jaffna origin said Mr. Rajaratnam said that Sinhalese and Tamils hate each other so much that the problem will never be solved until they annihilate each other.

    Good that he is not living in Sri Lanka.the people like him living abroa enjoying the pension and perks while treated as 2nd class nothing better than to build a solid nation.

    Rather than go to UN and mingle with harry and Corbin why don’t you come to SL and see through your own eye the plight of the ordinary.leave Colombo go and see the villages how they struggle to meets end.even for free water so many miles have to walk.mostly all polluted kidney disease etc

    Why don’t let the locals to live in harmony.as we understand you got plenty time to do research also mentioned another two on the way
    For what stir it to more problems.by writing who are going to benefit.

    Why don’t you do it positive towards our nation.leave budha sinhala govnt Tamil elite vellala calling names.

    Take it as Sri lankans.we also voted govnt.teach the people of these corrupt politicians and how we can over come of these notorious regimes.

    Same mind set had late Dissanake for that purpose he burnt the library.still no answers.

    For your calibre you can write how we can progress our peace.we all victim of war regardless of religion language.

    Tamils are Indians and part of the Indian Union. This is not a problem alien to Sinhalese. Non Indians in all Indian colonies suffer the same fate.

      @ Dalit

      Another exposure of your Sinhala media education don’t parade your ignorance here.

      There was no India before the arrival of British…poverty India indeed a patch of work of tribes.

      There were Tamil kingdoms and even Tamil Empires before 11th century.

      Have you read the book ..” Politics from 2nd to 11th century in S.E Asia “by ex-Diplomate Mr.Vernon Mendis ?

      …it is mentioned during the said period many governments in S.E.Asian countries were afraid to take political decisions without consulting Chola rulers …this is history .

      Till 6th century todays Kerala people spoke Tamil language .which later mixed with Sanskrit and became Malayalam..all Tamils can understand Malayalm…Kannada..Telugu languages all originated from Tamil.

      Cheers

    One can understand the author’s outburst. He is being Singhalese, it is hard to understand our misgivings.

    Shame on Noel Nadesan for not explaining the plight of Tamils but then we Tamils have this self serving interest only. There are Tamils who can lick enemy’s feet to better themselves & it is the main reason for our downfall.

    If one can look our thousands of years’ history, there are multiple evidence for this trait.

    Bandaranayaka was the BLOOD FATHER of this cursed land who was assassinated by a Buddhist Ayotullah..and his wife continued his blood bath policy .Thus this country is suffering and will bleed for years to come.

    Sinhala only education has produced enough Sinhala girls and woman to clean toilets and other in Arab countries.

      All what I can seel is you need a good psychiatrist.

      Please have you checked before ever join to this forum. That can surely help us both communities further healthy discussions.

      As it is no good to have PISSU, mad sick patients about countrys ethnic problems – it is no meaningful to share it with you. Basta.

    H. L. D. Mahindapala,
    “”Tamil Mytho-Maniacs Heading Towards Nandikadal Again-Dost thou know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed.””

    Fascist old 5-h-i-t has long initiated a strategic war courtesy the world of anti-terror which was curtailed May 2009. How pathetic to live in the past glory of success?

    There may be room to distinguish between Tamils who attack soldiers and those Sinhalese and Muslims who target civilians.

    Who is the terrorist of present day Lanka but the majority from president to pension down under media Mahindapala and his cohorts along with a sizable minority of Muslims and Tamils that makes a Pumpkin of lies and liars?⊛|⊛

    A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.
    A capped fascist is a capped fascist is a capped fascist is a TOAD on croak_ola auto urine therapy.

            Mincemeat is a mixture of chopped dried fruit, distilled spirits and spices, and sometimes beef suet, beef, or venison. Originally, mincemeat always contained meat

    “the Tamils have been the most privileged society in Sri Lanka”

    Yeah that’s why they were systematic discriminated in all realms of society from entry to universities to the obtaining seats of the government that represented their population in the country . That’s why their library that housed ancient texts were burned down to the ground “mysteriously” . Also that’s why the Sri Lanka flag resorts to have a strip of rectangle to represent their privileges in the society

    Looks like they were pretty privileged.

    well said well done Mr.Mahindapala well said.As a Buddhist believer of reincarnation my wish is to become star in outer space in my next birth in order to see the situation in Canada after another two thousand or two thousand five hundred years.to see Tamils migrated there showing various reasons will live there as separate Tamil Hindu nation or assimilate with other Canadian population and become Evangelican christian for better economic and social perks.

    though our Tamil population claim genetically unique separate ancestry harappa and other south Indian genetic ancestry projects results shows entirely different picture.All south Indian darvadian population shows different,different ancestries caste to caste.it very from east European,north Indian, north east Indian and south east Asian ancestries.no uniformity is shown at all. specially population in Tamilnadu, only binding factor is their darvadian languages.genetically they are different population.but in case of sinhalese it shows not only uniqueness and distinctions as far as genetic affinities is concern among or within population.but south Indian Tamil populations are salad like newly formed nations like american, Australian, Canadian and other small Island nations.

    Through out the history south Indian invaders tried same thing here converting some section of population and planting their own population here.that is Tamil expressionism but miserably failed. our ancestors bravery and determination could not be defeated although those Tamil dynasties were militarily and economically strong.ultimately they had to bent on knee to our dynasties and sought refuge here in some occasions. last was collapsed of pandyan dynasty at the hand of Delhi sultanate.from that point onward Tamils as separate community started to exist in our soil.

    Violence our expert commentators mentioned here started as response to Tamils violence against sinhalese population lived in north and east.Brutalities responded with brutalities. Tamils slogan was to wear shoes made out of sinhalese skin.now it is obvious that Tamils are historical and traditional enemy of Sinhalese. as such in future killing is prescribed though you are pious buddhists or not.

    Sinhala nationalists have this incredible ability to rewrite history and wholeheartedly believe in their own nonsense.
