There are many issues, arguments and controversies relating to history and the origin of various races in the world. How did a race generate is a complex question that could not be exactly traced. Nobody can clearly state that a particular race began in that day at that time. Sinhala race begun centuries ago and nobody was seen this beginning. The major reasons for this type of convoluted attitude were based on personal advantages and sometimes, they may be misleading people with a view to gaining advantages.

Various controversies were in this world since the origin of human being and various abstraction had been subjected without logical bases and from time-to-time, human history was added such various fabrication, theories, and many abstractions those were associated with manipulated stories or points. A vital point that people in the current world needs to understand historical aspects mixed with acceptable and unacceptable stories and theories, which were in a hard stand to test and people in modern world are in a disable condition to accurately test such ideas without assumptions. If any idea can test without assumptions that would be the real truth.

How Sinhala race originated in Sri Lanka was also a controversial issue in the modern world and the historical information related to the history of Sinhala race had been mixed with true and manipulated views. One major point could be considered was the story about Sinha. was he an animal or a human called Sinha was a controversial question because he was a strong person like a lion. Biological history evidence that animal cannot beget human. Significant evidence relating to the origin of Sinhala race found in an inscription which mentioned about Arahant Mahinda, found in Gampaha district which was believed to be written in before Christ. According to such evidence Sinhala race was not originated from animal.

The vital point that current people cannot ignore is Sinhala and Tamil people were treated as a single race, as we understand Sinhala people were in the country since before Christ. They were not originated with a clear biological history and they had mixed with other races due to psychological or sexual reasons. The vital point is people who were living in the piece of land called Sri Lanka, was a habitable land and humans liked to live in that land without racial differences as it had been an enjoyable piece of land supported humans to live as it had a soil for agricultural activities and grow various seeds which had been used for human consumption.

Scientifically Sinhala and Tamils may had originated in a single origin whom were separated as races later period and when originated they were human but they were not talking same language. Sinhala people are called such name because the language they were speaking identifies as Indo European and Tamils were talking a language that consist of features of Dravidian language.  This idea goes to the past in many centuries and the differentiation as Sinhala or Tamils were not based on a biological reason but it was a language related differentiation.  The best example is if a Sinhala person talks in Tamil and a Tamil person talk in Sinhala nobody will be able to biologically differentiate two people even they cannot separate based on bodily features. When people think about the reason statement of Mr Vigneswaran that Sinhala people were originated from Tamils was a mere expression that cannot verify either biologically, ethnically or culturally and it was a mere expression to provoke Sinhala people and gain support from Tamils.

The aim of Mr. Vigneswaran as he did in the past, was to attract political support from Tamil people who were divided into several political parties. The nature of behaviour of Tamil people is they love to provocative political party or a candidate indicated that they were interested in provocative statements.  Since the Donor more Commission, political stupids are still using such tactics for personal attraction.

If it investigates the history of Mr. Vigneswaran, it could be revealed that he had been made many statements to attract the attention of people than to express pure truth to gain support as neither a historian nor a scientist.  Such statement is vital for neither the management of human life nor develop valuable theories on the origin of human.

Politics in Sri Lanka seem not like in other democratic countries where people use politics for attracting power. Professionally, Mr. Vigneswaran had been worked in Sinhala areas and it seems that he uses politics after professional life with a view to making money than helping to gain human rights for Tamil people.

The language of Sinhala people originated from Indo Arian languages and the idea of educated people is that Sinhala people have been mixed with many races as indicated in Mahavamsa, Suppa Devi was a lady consorted in an Indian palace who interested in companionship with Sinha who met while she was going with businessmen who were carrying goods for sale but Suppadevi was not for selling goods but was she sold to Sinha by traders, nobody knows.

Before the final conflict with LTTE in 2008, there was a fabricated story that Sinhala people are with light skin and Tamils got dark skin, they were just fabrication and Mahavamsa called King Walagamba was a Sinhala person with a Dark skinned, was a son of King Dutugemunu’s brother Tissa. Finally, it needs to understand human history consist of many fabricated stories and modern people use such fabrication to provoke others and gain political advantages.
