Comments on: Implementation of the 13th Amendment may Create Separate Ethnic Provinces. http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2009/07/22/implementation-of-the-13th-amendment-may-create-separate-ethnic-provinces/ Lankaweb.com Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:22:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Priyantha Abeywickrama http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2009/07/22/implementation-of-the-13th-amendment-may-create-separate-ethnic-provinces/comment-page-1/#comment-282 Priyantha Abeywickrama Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:06:46 +0000 http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/?p=2317#comment-282 This is an interesting article. As well, comment made by Tissa is also interesting. Though I could be one of the least concerned about the current government or what it does, I cannot stop thinking about the legacy left behind by the English Occupiers. As I see, these marauders have not only set in motion a kind of living hell in the form of a government enthusiastically aided and abetted by their local collaborators, but installed the worst among them to run it. Since 1948, the historical performance of this dysfunctional outfit tells it all. Those who depend on it always have to choose between a rock and a hard place, or in more locally attractive terms changing ginger for chillies and vice versa. English are very famous for selecting the worst and making a mockery of them before discarding them to oblivion. Personally, I am more interested about the Sinhala people watching this self-made debacle knowing very well that it has little impact on them over the long term. As this writer intimates, they are yet to find that illusive silver bullet. At a personal level, I believe that they will never come out of this shit hole alive. On the other hand, they have no shame to trust Hindustan to solve this problem though they are the kingpins who manipulated the minorities to advance their own interests. The scope of this article remains tied to peaceful approach from one side while the other side uses all the tools available to them. As Tissa seems to envisage, are there other options available to solve the demands made by ethnic Tamil migrant community? Yes, not just one, there are many other solutions. Is it worth telling them? I say on behalf of Sinhala people an emphatic NO because we are helping the scum to prolong their existence who betrayed their own people, collaborated with the worst of their enemies who slaughters their kith and kin, and continue to follow the foot steps of those invaders with the same objectives. Even if they implement 13th amendment or go further and let Tamils have a separate Tamil Eelaam (Eelaa+m means Land of Sinhala (Ila)), is it going to solve the aspirations of Tamils or do any good to Tamils at large? Do they think that Sinhala people are just going to accept the legitimacy of their acts and forget the north of their country, which was the home of their ancient monarchy until the alienation of their throne? We have forgotten the other options available to solve this problem. The current situation in the country is a result of an unstable system produced by the use of barbaric force, first by English with full support of Tamils, then by their local collaborators, and lately by Tamils with the full backing of Hindustanis. Under these circumstances, unless all parties agree to a peaceful solution, obviously this is a trivial proposition, final solution will come from other means available to all concerned. This feeling of strangeness/discrimination from others where they live, as faced by the Tamil-speaking migrants of later generations, is not something unique to Lanka. This is a very common feature among all other migrant groups with cultural links carried forward from their original ethnic groups now living inside a dominant but alien culture. Unfortunately the second and later generations of migrants do not carry the historical burden of the original migrants fleeing their countries. Those who preach peaceful means must encourage and facilitate these agitated people of migrant backgrounds to return to their natural environments to come to peace with their original identity. Though I am unable to give reasons for this comment based on extensive R&D on such groups, the other option available for them is suicide or delivery of death in response. But for those bent on invading, occupying, annexing and plundering the resources exclusive used by other communities to sustain their lives, I strongly believe elimination is the only solution available to limit their impact on future generations of the humanity. While being intimidated and forced into submissions, do those running Lanka allow anyone else to do what it takes to come up with countermeasures to stand up and negotiate like equals instead of behaving like humble dogs to the outside world while fighting among themselves just for the leftover? I have not seen that happening to this date. So, I like to ask all concerned about what is going on in Lanka, is there any point in trying to help these selfish individuals holding the population and its resources by deceit? At the end they are the ones who are going to loss everything just like their predecessors. With reference to Lanka, why we should not let them go to hell alive for being failed to give such opportunities for those who are genuinely concerned even about this crisis superficially affecting Sinhala people?

Implementation of the 13th Amendment WILL Create Separate Ethnic Provinces. There is no two words about it.
