Non Sri Lanka Tamil Should Contain Their Negative Comments About The Sinhalese And The Sinhala Nation To Keep Within Their Scope Of Misinformed Sycophants!
Posted on December 2nd, 2010

LankaWeb Weekly Editorial

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Dec.1st 2010The recent item captioned “Racist attack on Tamil Women, Culture and Traditions by a Sinhalese Canadian addresed to the Canadian Minister of Citizenship, immigration and Multiculturalism posted on November 30th, 2010 by a certain Manicka Vasagar expressing his dissent over views expressed by well know international columnist and political analyst Mr. Asoka Weerasinghe of Ottawa Canada,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ seems not only a misrepresentation of facts but a bold assertion that the globally outlawed pursuit of terrorist based Ealam is alive and well which is the furthest from the truth and unacceptable coming from the mind of a puny supporter of a terrorist organization that was put down in Sri Lanka and needs to be trashed.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
Firstly there was no such racist attack as suggested in this item nwhere conversely it was the murderous thugs of velupillai Prabhakaran in his heyday that carried out brutal murders,heinous rapes and destruction of public and private property albeit countered effectively and equitably by the armed forcesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and secondly there is no room for tolerance of items of this nature as it defeats the purpose of all the progress now seen in Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the disrupted insurgency where the degree of pluralism and the incorporation of all ethnicities into a wonderful multicultural mosaic is unprecedentedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and all due credit needs to go the the leadership and administration of President Mahinda Rajapaksha.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
This is a cheap and blatant attempt as usual by one of the residue of Ealamists around the world to discredirt Sri Lanka and mostly a pack of innuendo and concocted speculations by a group of disgruntled Tamils at a time where vast numbers of Tamils are returning to their homeland and making genuine attempts to merge into what Sri Lanka now presents itself to themƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  as a safe haven and for all Lankans a aplace of great development. peace and tranquility

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
Expressing hollow andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ rather insincere thanks to the ruling Conservative Party of Canada’sƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Minister of CitizenshipƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and suggesting that there seemed much support and appreciation to the Tamil community in Toronto in their endeavours to be part and parcel of Canadian lifeƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ recently is somewhatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ bifurcated andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ misrepresented as the FederalƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ConservativesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  unlike their Liberal counterparts previously have hardly attempted to consort with the Tamil community better knownƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for their notoriety for mushrooming fronts for the Tamil Tigers and a spate of criminal activities which have peaked over the last few years making Totonto a virtually dangerous place by virtue of their activities!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
What this sycophantƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  for the cause of Ealam seems to be suggesting isƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that the ConservativesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  appear to be seeing eye to eye with Liberal mentalities of the past which is the furthest from the truth asƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  it was the Conservative PartyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to the contrary whoƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ were chiefly responsible for the disbanding and outlawing of pro LTTE operations throughout Canada sending law enforcement and anti terrorist agencies after themƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ !
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
It needs no rocket science to conclude that many Tamils in Canada contributed to theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ cause of Ealam and separatist terrorism in Sri Lanka primarily rather than ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ contributing to the social and economic development as lawful citizens of Canada until they were found out and routed where all due credit needs to be given to all Canadians who belong in the benevolent category and not necessarily Tamils alone towards Canada’s well being!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ but curiously Tamil benevolence towards Canada seems to have been augmented after the disruption of the Tamil Tigers in Sri lanka and the hounding of their counterparts in Canada as well as globally!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
There is hardly a need for litanies about Canada always being well known forƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ her values and principles of democracy, freedom, equality and multiculturalism as it is known univesally where Canada is enjoying the enormous contribution from the vibrancy of all Canadians as opposed to Tamils onlyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ in many spheres of life where the Tamils are no angels and at times the advocates of the Devil himself in how they contributed to and prolonged the attrocities in Sri Lanka which prevailed for almost 4 decades. Manickavasagar seems to be deluded into thinking that his repartee will in anyway sway the realities behind what really transpired in Sri Lanka with a base in Canada during the Tamil Tiger insurrection!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
To have the affrontƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  to suggest he is “perturbed to read the racist, despicable and degrading ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ letter by Asoka Weerasinghe addressed to the Hon. Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published as aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ newsworthy item by Sri Lankan newspaperƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ LankaWebƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ saying “it isƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ not only attack on Tamil women, but to all women, and to all cultures and traditions of the world, including the Singhalese.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ” seems a matter of myopic opinion of Manickavasagar alone which is a mere attempt to mislead and prejudice world opinion without a shred of tangible evidence towards the claim.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ To decry theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  attitudes of the ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ majority Sinhalese and successive Sinhala Governments and claim ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ they have caused the division within both communities in Sri Lanka beyond repair is a travesty of justice andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  lack of gratitude towards the Government which singlehandedly liberated the Tamil Community from the near holocaust like horrors of the Prabhakaran reign of terror inasmuch as it did the rest of Sri lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  TheƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  oppression, discrimination, subjugation and terrorism inflicted on the Tamil people over the last 60 yearsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  refered to which perhapsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ whilst beingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ laced in paranoiaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ mayƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  also have within rightsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ caused a majorƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ brain drainƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and a seeking of the Tamils themselves in their discontent to remain a minority and adhere to the laws of the Sinhala Nation which to a great degree encompassed the needs of all people including Tamils and a gross misrepresentation of facts by someone who neither has the right, carte blanche nor real evidence beyond hearsay and speculationƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ gleaned from some ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ his disgruntled Tamil counterparts in Sri Lanka and by no means a greater part thereof!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
That Sri Lanka “is now down with the dogs ” in his own interpretation should be rephrased to read Sri Lanka has been rid of the rabid dogs who threatened to destroy the nation and her unity.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
With respect to the views expressed by AsokaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s WeerasingheƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and sorely denigrated asƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ” disgracefulƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ commentsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ lack of understanding of the plight of the Sri Lankan economy, its development and contribution to world social standing even after 60 years of independence, when compared to some third world countries,”ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ somewhat amusingly comes at a time when many world leaders and leadingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  economic powers have acolladed and praised the approach of the Sri Lankan Government towards unification of ethnicities, nation development andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ unprecedented economic growthƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and the sense of frustration and disdain on the part of the accuser seems linked to his own misgivings and apathetic lack ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ awareness of what has transpired in Sri LankaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  in the aftermath of theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Insurgency or he is simply venting his own knotted up frustrations as the case appears to be.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
The following bold statementƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  attesting to the realities involved finally classifies and confirms what needs to be emphasized the mostƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  that someone who declares hisƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  non Sri Lankan Tamil, status almost in pitiful ignoranceƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and has never been to Sri Lanka, has no right to emphasize to the majorityƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Sinhalese and to the international community that “they should understand by now, that the Tamil resistance will continue and would never rest until a peaceful, democratic, political solution to Tamil Eelam is achieved.” This is an intolerableƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ outburst by a harbinger of the violence once perpetrated by the Tamil Tigers in a framework of pseudo peaceƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ and a sycophant thereof who seems to be distancing from realityƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  thatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Tamils can live in peace and dignity, and prosper as a Nation when it is already transpiring in Sri Lanka today courtesy of the Rajapaksha Administration!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ 
Indeed the LTTE was not formed as a social club but one devised toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ kill the SinhaleseƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and set up the autocratic terror based nation of Eelam whichƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ was the motto and effected voluminously until the Tamil Tigers were stopped in their tracks !. They were forced into submission and eventual eliminationƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  byƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ the presentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  GovernmentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and the Sinhala NationƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  courageous, patriotic majority Sinhalese people avowedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  to defend and protectƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ the ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ land, herƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ people, culture andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ heritage so that they could live in peace and dignity, where all non peaceful methods by the enemies of the state were crushed beyond redemption!

  1. M.S.MUdali Says:

    Asoka Weerasinghe whose written records never show any “reasonable” democracy or equality but majority Sinhala syndrome and anti-Tamil bickerings, gives “food” for Tamil extremism.

    If Lankaweb like to defend Asoka or his statements, it is another dissater.

    Contributors of Lankaweb always keep silence why UNP and Catholic Church publicly supported LTTE. When a Sinhala Party supports LTTE, how can we believe that LTTE is there “ONLY” to kill Sinhalese?

    Does Lankaweb think UK, USA and other WEST nations go against Sri Lanka to support TAMIL language?

    Further Sri Lanka is known to Canadians through TAMIL refugees and not by others. Liberals, conservatives and vatican involved in GUN industry. These parties support LTTE as well.

    If Sinhalese are engulfed with their majority syndrome and lookdown Tamils as second class, opportunities are still open for more trouble by the COLONIAL interest groups, Catholic Church for profit making.

    Patriotism dont need a language!

  2. Sunil Mahattaya Says:

    MS Mudali seems to be addressing personal grievances and the comments based upon the bias of his conceived ‘majority Sinhalese syndrome’ bleatings coined by many disgruntled Tamils who also supported the LTTE during their heyday.
    Criticising Mr Weerasinghe on this basis is unfair as his commentaries have been very accurate and has hardly ever belittled the decent Tamils around the globe or used the term second class citizens and if they were refered to as a minority it was the truth!
    LankaWeb in not partisan in defending anyone’s statements it merely posts them on the basis of democratic freedoms of expression~ there is a disclaimer to this effect at the bottom of the web page.
    There have been numerous occassions when there have been postings of umbrage and criticism of the UNP as well as church organizations supporting the LTTE over a period of time.Where has Mr Mudali been when these were posted on numerous occassions?
    It is a delusion to suggest that LankaWeb thinks western countries like the US, UK etc go against Sri lanka to support the Tamil language although there have been instances of wrongfully interpreting the plight of Tamils by these sources as a responsibility of the GOSL when it has always been the LTTE who aggravated the lives of Sri lLankan Tamils both at home and abroad.
    It is utter ignorance to even suggest that Canada knows Sri lanka through the Tamil refugee influx although the Liberals of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s played along with pro LTTE Tamils mostly in Ontario and Quebec and partook of communal activities of their fronts whether deliberately or inadvertently and further aggravated the Tamil cause until the Conservatives of The Hon. Stephen Harper changed all this.The Vatican involved gun industry is however a figment of the writers imagination and a total myth!
    It is plainly visible that the present Sri Lankan Administration is doing much to alleviate the Tamil problem, many Tamils acknowledge this and are returning home to Sri Lanka and the so called COLONIAL Interest groups will never ever raise their heads within Sri Lanka nor will there be any opportunity for any religious organization to use Sri Lanka as a base for profit making which is a ridiculous statement to make although Sri Lanka is tolerant odf all other religions within and without the land and has been for time imemorial!
    Patriotism need the language of example and a presentation of patriotic intent with fidelity to the land of their birth with no attempt to transform it into something envisioned in their own concept towards advantage by disgruntled frustrations and baseless paranoia!

  3. Siri Says:

    M.S.MUdali appears to be a LTTE supporter with an assumed name. He does not seem to have his facts straight. He is trying to discredit the writer Mr. Asoka Weerasinghe. The UNP does have some politicians who are siding with the Tamils to get their vote. This does not necessarily mean that they will support the Tamil cause. All UNPers cannot be painted with the same brush.
    Regarding the Catholic church, some Tamil priests took up the LTTE cause. This does not make the Catholic church LTTE supporters. There are priests who opposed the LTTE and there are other priests who remained neutral. It is wrong to accuse the Vatican of being involved in the Gun industry without evidence.
    “Sri Lanka is known to Canadians through TAMIL refugees and not by others”. This statement is far from the truth. The Canadians are part of the Colombo Plan where Canada gave Sri Lanka Powerfull new Canadian Diesel Locomotives in the 1950s which is long before the Tamils started to claim refugee status in Canada. The Canadians helped to fund and build the College of Technology at Katubede and train some of it’s teachers. The writer should keep to verifiable facts if he wants the readers to accept his writings.
    It is an accepted fact that the Sinhalese are the majority race in Sri Lanka and even General Sarath Foseka said that “Sri Lanka is the Land of the Sinhalese” before he fell from Grace. The Tamils have always been accepted tby the Sinhalese if they wanted to live in peace and share the common benefits of the country. The problems started when they wanted more privileges than the others in the country.

    Siri
    couple of things sir

    A) Please do not catagorize people saying Mudali is a suppoter of LTTE. Why you say that
    For me he seems to be a tamil moderate like myself who express his opinion
    It is imporatnt for people both tamils and sinhalese not to antoganize others it is unnecessary and will not help some people write things just for a thrill it is not necessary

    B) I had an opportunity to live for 2 years with singhalese and we talk everything open when we have free time to talk I will not change my opinion about them even if any one talk bad about tamils
    These guys are wonderful people . we cooked studied eat together . I never felt for a second any hatred

    I told them how scared I was even my friends in jaffna during 82 -83 period. We were scared to go to tuition classes in the night even go to school because the army were brutal
    How could it happen in your own country . I was scared for no reason .
    2 of my friends from South told me it is same for them also during JVP time . So many people were killed by the Govt forces ( UNP) that time and they too were scared but no one paid much attention
    I know there are thousands and thousands of sinhalese are there like my friends

    My humble advise to every one is we need to move on . Love, respect each other . do it in actions
    During earthquake in Gujarath , I noticed many Indians regardless of which state they live in were trying to help their brothers . Maratis, Seiks , malayales every one help their country men

    I ask my self are we doing this ? I will be truly happy if People from South donate food , provide couciling for thousand of Tamils who are in the camps in Srilanka
    These actions will give an extremly powerful message for every one all around the world people want to live in peace within Lanka and any one try EElam card will be loosers

    The price paid for this war is too too high . Over 25000 innocent children men and women died during the Vanni war

    . I am sick any time I see it is in u tube

    Srilanka belongs to both Tamils and Sinhalese

    Srilankan Tamils are in Srilanka for hundreds of years . Ellalan who is a Tamil ruled The country
    Duttagamunu built statue for Ellalan even he asked people to respect the statue . It means a lot
    what a great peron Duttagamunu is

    The government should act sooner than later to provide the best solution for Tamils
    The price paid is extermly high and there is no time to talk bs but time to act
    every one is equal in the society .
    It is the responsibilty for an elder brother to take his younger brother show compassion ,love and respect . Sinhalese are elder brother and tamil a younger brother
    Look at USA . Equal opportunity for every one . If you are smart you can always come up in the ladder
    There is no open racisim becaue people can be sued if any one talk or write against a race in public places

    Sunil and Siri:
    Where are you living?

    TAMIL, SINHALA politics is a product of the British colonial era. Tamils and Sinhalese are still on the same ROPE. That is why Sinhalese (who have the power) always think their Sinhala policy is right.

    Both of you defend UNP and Vatican. Catholic Church is not a loose knit company or a political party. It is powerful than SL government. If Tamil Catholic Church publicly support LTTE which is a terrorist criminal organization, why did Sinhala Catholic Church hide itself and make no comments?

    Vatican has invested in GUN industry and it is an open secret for years in the WEST but Sri lankan Sinhalese foolishly defend Vatican and its criminal deeds.

    UNP is a UK/USA proxy.

    Vatican is UK/USA proxy and vowed to destroy Buddhism/Hinduism and headed by a NAZI.

    Canada does business with Sri lanka for a longtime because of the British. It is different when the Canadian internal politics comes. LTTE supporters have big cloud in Toronto over the Canadian politics.

    UNP helped LTTE at every phase of their WAR. LTTE was not interested in the welfare of the TAMIL people but TAMILS were oppressed simply at gun point. Those Tamils who opposed LTTE or EELAM never..never get any help from Sinhalese because they are TAMIL.

    Sri lanka is a proxy state and not realise that it is a sovereign country.

    When UNP’s Foreign Minister TYRONNE FERNANDO praised Prabhakaran is a real patriot of Sri lanka, no one bothered. Asoka did not write any article. Sinhalese who bark against ordinary Tamils said nothing.

    When Ranil carved out an area for LTTE, how many Sinhalese raised their voice? Ranil appeased the Sinhalese by telling “No bomb blasts in Sinhala areas” but LTTE continued their killing of Tamils. Sinhalese felt happy that “Tamils Kill Tamils”.

    Rajapakse brothers took a bold decision to destroy the WEST/Vatican backed LTTE and did it. That is why they are humiliated at every step. Instead of blaming the backers of LTTE, Sinhalese are appy to blame ordinary Ponniah or Kandiah.

    Further India is important and to be tamed by the west for their own interests in the region. When we compare India, Sri lanka is a peanut for the WEST. But SL has the potential to be used a BASE by the WEST against India or China.

    That is why President Rajapakse said China, Pakistan and others are friends but India is RELATIVE. If the Sinhalese who bark against India and Tamils cannot realise this fact, they will invite troubles and act as agents for the WEST.
