If the Tamils’ cry for separatism is given up, the two communities could solve their problems and continue to live in amity and dignity.”

M.C. Sansoni, CJ-(Sessional Paper No. 7 of 1980). 

It is interesting to observe the behavior of the young Tamil M.P. Archuna among the other disoriented Sinhala-speaking M.P.s who are wasting taxpayers’ money at the Diyawanna hotel. Of them, 159 are either doormats or Rajan Kadiragamars. The Tamil and Muslim MPs are enjoying the fun of how an inexperienced, incompetent and confused set of JVP-NPP leaders destroying the island’s Sinhala Buddhist civilization, openly and discreetly, treating the Sinhala Buddhist voters as fools who believed the likes of Uganda Kumari, and  specially the undeliverable promises given by the candidate and later the president AKD.

It is true that AKD became president due to the defective undemocratic, anti-geographic, electoral system, and the split of votes between the two selfish souls, Sajith and Ranil. He did not have a majority approval and he is doing things not in his mandate.  A drastic erosion of his  voter base is already clearly visible. The defeated and elected Sinhala MPs and leaders think that the sins and crimes of AKD government give them unexpected hope to come to power again sooner than later. But the opposition parties separately or collectively have failed so far to demonstrate that they are not the same wine in the old bottle and they have a better plan than the failing AKD govt.

One thing is clear. A Marxist group with a history of blood and death since 1971, is unlikely to give up power by way of a bloodless election. It never happened in the history of Totalitarianism in the world. The signs are all over  as the Kaduwela mayor Jayalal said, we are prepared to kill even 100,000 people to stay in power.” None of these matter to Tamil and Muslim MPs as long as they can survive with an Eelam and Oluvil-Sharia enclaves that both groups just missed during the Neelan-GL-Jayampathy Package Deal of Mrs. Chandrika in 2000, which Ranil-Sumanthiran-Jayampathy-Lal Wijenaika cabal resurrected again in 2017. That blue print was dead (forgotten?) in the minds of Sinhalayas, but only buried, as far as the Tamils and Muslim leaders are concerned, who are  waiting to resurrect it from the grave, when the time is ripe.  India and USA-UK do not mind any of these scenarios, as long as they have a firm grip over an adulterated Marxist Regime.

ARCHUNA- (Rasamanikkam-Ponnambalam- Sumanthiran) -ARUN SIDDHARATH

I think Archuna’s recent visit to see the Asgiriya Mahanayaka Thero was a genuine gesture, unlike what Vigneswaran tried to do some years ago. Free of any hidden political agenda, he placed his ideological challenge before the Mahanayaka priest, and it is the duty of the monks who have been the Guardian Angels of this island, and the so called Sinhala Buddhist leaders to educate Archuna why he cannot achieve his goal for a peaceful Sri Lanka as long as he is a direct agent of the global Tamil tigers. Because, Global Tamils want an Eelam country with a UN seat and a flag.  

The ACBC pioneered by Prof. G. P. Malalasekara and few others,  has failed miserably to defeat the ideological war then after 2009 May, and now in 2025. It was the highly educated, Christian-Marxist Dayan Jayathilaka plus Lalith Weeratunga and P. B. Jayasundara who took MahindaR and later Gotabaya on a jungle path in this regard. The cruelest dead-rope Dayan gave to MR was to let the moderate Tamil Vigneswaran to become the Chief Minister-NP. Colombo YMBA is an NGO (caste conscious?) more anti-Buddhist than Buddhist. Buddhism minister, ministry, department and the Sasana Rakshaka Bala Mandala, are all politicians’ jokes deceiving the innocent Sinhala Buddhists.

The grave mistake made by MR after May 2009 to follow a program to erase the Eelam ideology from the minds of innocent Tamils allowed the separatist Tamil politicians to slowly build a demand for an Eelam via the 13^th Amendment.  The locals like Sumanthiran with Sinhala daughter-in-law work behind the scene with the Indian RAW in Jaffna. Gajendra Ponnambalam on the other hand desperate  to capitalize the Indian-controlled AKD government. He met the Tamilnad CM Stalin to  put pressure on Modi to get the police and land powers for the Provincial Councils under the 13A.

Shanakyan Rasamanikkam went further. He was bold or foolish enough to put his neck out compared to Ponnamabalam or Sumanthiran. He has become an ostrich hiding his head in the sand.  An M.P. who took an oath to protect the unitary Sri Lanka has  given a heroic talk to the Canadian tiger forum that his plan is to achieve an Eelam before his death which is father and grandfather failed to achieve working with SJV Chelvanayagam who handed over the fight to Prbakaran-boys before his death in 1977.  But Rasamanikkam knew for sure that he would not face legal action against his statements in Canada under an AKD regimen buried  under the Tamil diaspora dollars. His assessment of Sri Lanka’s plight was so pathetic compared to the olive branch some opposition Sinhala politicians offer him.

Archuna is different and unique in his mission to handle the Tamil plight”. He has exposed the older Tamil separatists’ game behind the Indian politicians. And, he has the potential to become a young Kadiragamar in building bridges between the Tamil and Sinhala masses ( at his funeral in 2005, Buddhist monks came from all over the country to conduct Buddhist religious rites treating him a genuine Buddhist who sacrificed his life for national unity).  

However,  for this service Archuna needs a better understanding of the  geography and history (history is past geography) of Sri Lanka. Because, the Global Tamil movement supporting him has the goal of winning a Tamil country with a UN flag, carved out of Sri Lankan land. Archuna does not realize his desire to be the next Chief Minister of the Northern Province is only  one step away from a Tamil Eelam in Sri Lankan soil.

AKD planned a brand new concept of a Sri Lankan Day to promote peace and harmony among different ethnic groups while Rasamanikkam was challenging it with support from Canada which allowed tigers to block a public highway! The so called Sri Lanka Day was a waste money given to Samanalie Fonseka to organize it. It was against the Sinhala Buddhist society and some gods took care of it. If at all AKD tries it again it ought to be named the Eelam Day, and following the example given by Anagarika Dharmapala, and on that shameful day people should display white flags as a silent protest. In the 1930s-1940s Anagarika Dharmapala asked people to make a puppet apply white paint on it and keep it in front of his house and hit it in the morning and evening calling it a dirty white man (පර සුද්දා). It was a psychological boost for a nation humiliated and discriminated against by a white rule with the help of local Christian black whites.

Wigneswaran’s two sons married two Sinhala women and so was Sumanthiran’s son. If Hitler had two sons who were married to two Jews men could one say Hitler practiced Genocide? This was exactly what Wigneswaran said about the Sinhala government from which he reaped the best possible benefits before he became a Tamil politician giving up his past alliance with the Marxists LSSPers. Archuna has a Sinhala woman as his wife and hopefully he will not talk about a Tamil genocide in the South.

To this Vellala crowd Arun Siddharth is like acid on a piece of an old iron. A follower of Ambedkar he is working for the upliftment of so called low caste Tamils in Jaffna facing threats of harassments from the Indian Raw, Indian embassy branch in Jaffna and the Vellala vested interests in all over Jaffna. The low castes” perform all the manual and sanitary work and they are the majority in the North. Arun was against Prabakaran, 13^th Amendment and Christian provocations against Buddhist temples and archeological sites using innocent Hindu Tamils.

He points out how Vellala politicians organized private tuition for their children to learn Sinhala while opposing poor Tamil children learning Sinhala free in government schools. It was C.W.W. Kannanagara’s free education law in 1945 which helped low caste Hindu Tamils to get even a basic education. More than the 1956 Sinhala only law what offended the Vellala politicians most was the Prevention of Social Disabilities Act, No. 21 of 1957, a law designed to abolish caste-based discrimination.  

Chelvanayagam left the increasingly hostile anti-Tamil environment in Malaya, and immigrated to Ceylon via South Indian Christian church in Madras to begin his Kosovo plan by forming the Tamil State Party (Federal Party) in 1949. That was 7 years before the Sinhala only act, which had provisions for the Reasonable Use of Tamil in Ceylon, sabotaged by Sinhala extremists and the UNP leaders JRJ and Dudley. For his project, Chelvanayagam had all the blessings he needed from the LSSP Marxists who supported the Fifty-Fifty demand of G. G. Ponnabalam, which was rejected by the Donoughmore Commission in 1928.

Archuna has wrong facts about the number of Tamil deaths during the 30-year war or  the origin of the Tissa Raja Maha Vihara in Jaffna. Apparently, his knowledge and understanding of the so called Tamil struggle revolves around his father’s life and death. In Buddhism, there is no place for a wicked god or an almighty God, which is but an accepted norm (concept) in Hinduism. Thus, the Sinhala Buddhists need not dismiss the role Archuna could play in Sri Lankan politics simply because he identifies  Prabakaran as his god (දෙයියෝ). That kind of reaction would push Archuna more into the global Tamil Eelam prison (project).

My experience with Tamils (I lived with Tamil roommates) is that they are innocent people. Just like the Marxists ruined the minds of some Sinhala people with hatred and destruction, Tamil politicians who realized that they are going to loose the benefits of the colonial strategy of divide and rule, especially after the universal franchise in 1931, thought of carving out a separate country for them, away from Colombo, so that they become masters of their own enclave.

I think the desire of Archuna and Arun Siddharth is the empowerment of Tamil people, not the crooked politicians. These two must work together with this common goal. They could easily work with a person like Wijeweera’s son Uvindu who is different from older Sinhala politicians including his father who died in vain.

I hope Archuna respond to this invitation via email.
