I am so happy my friend. I don't know what to say. I ll inform my Tamil friend too. He also will be very happy. We all did some thing. Some thing really valuable... Thanks again.

Good work, keep it up.

Regardless it is Jaffna or Colombo or Mathara, people needs to behave. I have seen rowdy crowds in places. That is something we should stop in all parts of the country. When we go to Jaffna, we should behave in the same respect and dignity we show in our hometowns. That is basic human decency anybody should follow regardless who and where we are. Educating fellow Sri Lankans about the cultural differences are very important in bringing all communities together.

However, if I go to Nagadeepa and stop on my way to eat a meal at a restaurant is not a part of cultural sensitivity. If I dress and behave in the same decent way I dress and behave anywhere else in Sri Lanka that should not be a problem to the people in Jaffna. Tough luck to those who can't accept the fact that every corner of Sri Lanka belongs to everybody.

Our soldiers paid with their eyes, limbs, and lives to restore our freedom, dignity, and sovereignty. Our soldiers stand equal or better among, Dutugemunu and Vijyaba era heroes. These are the outstanding heroes of our history of 2,550 years. We owe a lot to them. Therefore, we need to be careful stereotyping our great warriors.

I can understand the trauma these kids went through. However, there is a hidden implication by your friends that our soldiers deliberately shelled the civilians. I believe that this is the finest form of Eelam propaganda working in your friends minds. Without spoiling your friendship with your friends, you may want to ask them how these people got trapped in a war zone and what could have been done to prevent this kind of incidents. I am sure that it will open up a very candid dialog at that point.

However, I have to ask you this from you. What could we have done to prevent the birth of Prabakaran?

@Sam Perera
//Educating fellow Sri Lankans about the cultural differences are very important in bringing all communities together//

I totally agree.

//Therefore, we need to be careful stereotyping our great warriors//

I have never done that. I never indicate all the army soldiers are asking jaffna people to provide shelters to their parents and relatives. What I pointed out here is as there is such a rush to visit Jaffna this kind of situation has arise. And to stop that Gvt. need to take measures to regulate the visit. For that we need to raise a voice. Unless they don’t do it.

//However, there is a hidden implication by your friends that our soldiers deliberately shelled the civilians.//
I have never indicated here who shelled. People got trapped because their free movements were deliberately stopped by LTTE. There is no argument.

But my point is different. Human brain does not always work logically. If we all do not work responsible manner the above mentioned boys will very easily go in to un law full actions.

So, all our behaviors in Jaffna and suburb will amount to that end. So, I do not see the uncultured behavior of the visitors in Kalutara Bodhiya and in Konesvar Kovila are the one and same and create one and the same result.Uncultured and roudy behaviour of some people there will put salt in to wounds who are wounded.

I point out one teaching of the Buddha here.
The victory creates hatred.
It gives sadness to the defeated.

we are in such a fragile situation. Thats why every responsible citizen should act promptly to stop further damage and handle the situation wisely. That is what we tried to do acording to our capacity.

@Sam Perera

This needs a long analytical answer. Which I am not in a position to spent such a long time because of my work. But I ll give some points here.

We all, Sinhalese and Tamils were under British rule. We all wanted our languages to be official languages when the invader is no more in the country. Then why Tamil people had to do a separate fight to achieve that very simple but very important goal if they too have got independence.

I give here a link (http://ramachandrageadaviya-ramachandra.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post_08.html ) of an article on the creation of the National flag. This discussion also will be help to understand the back ground of the rise of such a brutal man.

Read my all the previous articles. I have pointed out where the state failed to give protection and justice to Tamil people. In the above article I have pointed out the failure of intellectuals to deconstruct the colonial history of the country as Indian historians have done.

One last point is the state structure. As I understand the structure of the state in Sri Lanka is the continuation of the same state structure which was implemented by the British rulers. As we failed to deconstruct colonial history we have failed to get rid of the colonial state structure too. Here again I point out India. They never continued the state that was introduced by the colonizer. They were very successful in creating a state structure of their own which all the communities of the country make part and partial of it. See how far they have gone. They have given Goa, a very small area where descendents of Portuguese people and culture live, a state position. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa) No one argues there that these people are the descendents of an enemy. How tact fully India has incorporated all the different communities within one country. I think this is another place where we have failed.

Another important point is when a group of Panjabi people took arms against the Indian state demanding for separate independent state called Khalisthan, India had its own battalions of army comprised with the same Panjabi people. They were the people who went there to crush the militants. But you know very well the situation in our country. I still remember how difficult it was for me to face the army during JVP insurgency time in 1987-1990 as a A/L student. But I had an upper chance since I could communicate with them in my language.

I think I have point out in nutshell what made a suitable back ground Prabhakaran to rise. I never say Sinhalese are racists and that is what made Prabhakaran to rise. No.

I really appreciate the way you have pointed out your views. You have not tried to brand me as a disguised traitor as some did. We have to develop a constructive dialogue. One of the visitors had said there is no vacuum for a third opinion, either you have to be in this side or that side. I don’t think such approach will be help full to a make peace full country. Once again I thank you the way you have maitained in oyur comment

Pitastharaya;

Sinhala is not direct descendants of Aryans, but surely lots of Sinhala genes realte Aryans too. It is obviously a mix. I am dumbfounded if someone says that 700 ppl took over teh gene pool of such a big island nation.

Note taht in SL too this topic is discussed. Academics are in teh verge of finding a breakthru I believe. Lots of hypothesis, which is good, and we will soon be free from Aryan myth.

My blog has some topics and points related. Have a read.

BTW, we shud be proud for being SL, pure blood mixed blood, Aryan, Soouth Indian, Russion or even Red Indian. We are Sri Lankans. Let's be proud for that.

@Sujeewa Kokawala
//Note taht in SL too this topic is discussed. Academics are in teh verge of finding a breakthru I believe.//

Can you name those academics and titles of their publications. I like to read them. Pl answere pointedly.

meya kiyavana obalage comments Sinhalen liyanna. Mama vada kematiy obalaage adhahs denaganna saha obalaa samaga saakachchaa karanna.

Mahawansa was written before the British invade and it is not a simple short story. Can such a long narrative book deliver the exact requirement of British? Can it match all tangible clues we see about our history?

Excellent article though. Keep up the good work!

@NoTerrorism
I started writing an answer addressing the issue you have raised. But it became a long article. so, Ill publish it as a new post withing another hour or so. Sorry for the delay.

You idiot, don't you understand that you have been brain washed by some one. It is Sinhalese who suffered more for due to uncivilized Tamil activities. It is Tamils who should responsible for the bad consequences of this country.
Lick the ass of Tamil bloody fool

@Danushka
//It is Sinhalese who suffered more for due to uncivilized Tamil activities.//

we all suffered. Tamils are not responsible for not giving Tamil language the official status. Tamils are not responsible for 83 black july incidents. I am not saying that the sinhalese are responsible for all these. But i am talking abouut the state. State has failed to give justice and the protection. if I am wrong please come out with your argument with out usung vulger language.

Tamil people aren't our relatives as well as Muslim some people claim Persians are Arabs as well especially from Western world because they both got the same written style (Persian and Arabic) so it doesn't mean both are same they got different ethnicity ,background,language and history so like that Tamil and Sinhalese people got same context ,people easily misunderstand that due to the Skin Color and and long relationship since Anuradapura Age but it doesn't prove we both are same.Our people mainly come from (Sinhalese) Northern India maybe before Wijeya came here but officially Wijeya was the one who came here ,you may heard 6BC (Lord Buddhas living age) or even before,there were civilized people as well as an example they got Dogs,Fighting Styles,Proper Clothes,and even Castles and Houses so they weren't Sinhalese maybe Tamil because Tamil people spreaded mostly in South India so there maybe a probability they came here who knows.?

Pure Sinhalese aren't NOT relative to Tamil though Modern Sinhalese are Mixed with different races.

in future the all races will be Single one due to mixing though History got lot of Races ,that will be probably called Earthly Race.

Since I am very busy with my studies now I have no time to write a long answer. Sory. But I understand the issues you have raised must be answered. Once I am free definitely I will write a long answere, probably a separate post.
