By Charles.S.Perera Sri Lanka a resplendent Island, became cancerous and mutilated as its population changed and other cultures crept into it. The worst was the advent of   Tamils in to the Island.  They came as invaders, plunderers, and marauders.  They  eventually settled down, but never wanted to  mix with the indigenous population the Sinhala.  They […]

By Charles.S.Perera It is really not worth replying to People’s Forum and Kautilya, but it hurts when falsehood is propagated to make fools of the intelligent ordinary people of Sri Lanka. This Government of UNP- Ranil, Maithripala Sirisena and Chandrika exists on falsehood trying to hoodwink the people continuously running down Mahinda Rajapakse, the  greatest […]

By Charles.S.Perera Political parties are born out of politicians’ insatiable thirst for power which can be defined as the ability to influence and control others. Power is as addictive as heroin and those who have lost it behave like hapless druggies going cold turkey having chased the dragon for years. Personal ambitions are camouflaged with […]

By Charles.S.Perera The Yahapalanaya is a Nadagama- Mahadenamutta and his pupils.  Mahadenamutta had five pupils . He himself had given names to them according to their appearance. One was Indikatu Pencha – a thin tall man, Kotu Kithaiya the one who looked like a stick, his favourite was Polbe Muna who had a round face […]

By Charles.S.Perera The President Sirisena and Prime Minster Ranil Wickramasinghe are overwhelmingly happy they have brought democracy back to Sri Lanka and opened  the country to the friendly Nations of the West. The USA and the West reciprocate with gratitude the part played by the duo along with their sleeping pawn Chandrika who awakens at […]

By Charles.S.Perera France is the country of the French, England the country of the English . Italy the country of the Italians and Germany the country of the Germans, India   the  country of the Indians, and Sri Lanka  the country of the Sinhala etc. One cannot say the same about USA as the Original Americans […]

By Charles.S.Perera Mithripala Sirisena has a subordinate mentality.  He cannot rise above that mental handicap.  He cannot even stand up against Ranil to say no to him.  Ranil is evil, he knows how to disarm his superiors, and take their place.  That he did with  President Chandrika Kumaratunga, when  Ranil  became her  Prime Minister. Ranil […]

By Charles.S.Perera To day Sri Lanka is not  socially, politically and economically in a settled state for this Government to decide on  writing a new Constitution.  The Communities are divided as it had never been before, the Tamils are acting as  if they are already a Community apart.  Sampanthan who is critical of the  Sinhala […]

By Charles.S.Perera (revised 09/01/2016) The government formed by Maithripala Sirisena, Ranil Wickramasinghe and Chandrika Kumaratung , which they call yahapalanaya, is the worst government in Sri Lanka since Independence in 1948. It is far from being a democratic government. Democracy is where the view of the majority is respected. Today in Sri Lanka the majority […]

By Charles .S.Perera Paris never sleeps.  At any time in the day or night you could find a good restaurant perhaps already full and noisy where you could get a fine meal.  The French like to enjoy their meals , with a  good bottle of vintage red wine. After a glass or two of it […]

By Charles.S.Perera Ranil, Chandrika and the West  played a confidence trick on Sirisena.  Chandrtika knew Sirisena as  an easy bait  who could be made to dance to her tune.  She  gave him few lessons on back stabbing and Sirisena fell to the proposed plan like a gullible sucker. Ranil, Chndrika, Rajitha, Mangala knew that Sirisena […]

By Charles. S.Perera Since its death the corps of the unburied Sri Lanka now begins to stink. It had worms inside it.  They crawled out to  join the undertakers.  The undertakers  try to make out that it was a natural death, but it was a well planned murder, every one knows it. But the  Chief […]

By Charles.S.Perera The Budget Presented to the Parliament by the Finance Minister of Yahapalanaya is a complete sellout of Sri Lanka to Foreigners. The Budget is now in Committee stage in the Parliament. The SLFP Parliamentarians who have accepted Ministries should give them up and join rank with the UPFA rather than betray the country […]

By Charles.S.Perera As I walked out of the Airport  on that wet morning  in 2014, the  heavy November showers did not dampen my enthusiasm to be in my beloved Sri Lanka. The crowds of our dear women who had  spent difficult times in Arab homes in the Middle East were seen with tears in their […]

By Charles S.Perera She is part of the USA Administration represented in the UN.  USA with its 200 odd year history is a hybrid nation of European pioneers who built their nation on the ashes of the original inhabitants.  These pioneers  reduced the original Americans to an insignificant minority.  Therefore American history and culture is […]

By Charles.S.Perera Ranil Wickramasinghe is not a patriotic leader who is prepared to make any sacrifice for the safety of the country. He would do any thing for his own long term plan to be the President of Sri Lanka in 2020. In 2002 Ranil Wickramasinghe signed the CFA without consulting either the then President […]

By Charles. S.Perera Mahinda Rajapakse, Gotabhaya Rajapakse and Sarath Fonseka were the trio that brought terrorism in Sri Lanka to a conclusion. The breaking up that trio was the desire of the West manipulated by the Tamil diaspora to isolate Mahinda Rajapakse and bring charges of war crimes against Gotabhaya Rajapakse.  Not only they planned […]

By Charles.S.Perera It had been seen  since 1978, that each time UNP comes into power it is the death knell for Sri Lanka. It is not necessary to repeat the disasters that UNP caused from writing 13 A into the Constitution, Batalanda Torture Camps, Military safe house disaster, CFA, to Central Bank Bond scam. Now […]

By Charles.S. Perera Yes of course Zaid Ra’ad Al Hussain and Pablo de Greiff may have heard of terrorism, but terrorism in Sri Lanka they see  through their  professional eyes, after all they have a job to do.   They cannot  see it  from the eyes of those who witnessed the brutality of  terrorism. Therefore they […]

By Charles.S.Perera I think I started writing to Lankaweb somewhere in 1997. Lankaweb perhaps did not make me a writer, but helped me to express my battered thoughts about my country.  It was an outlet to my pent up feelings.  A space where I could cry out as loud as I can  against those who […]

By Charles.S.Perera It is interesting to investigate what this New Political Culture the Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe  keeps talking about..  From what one has observed so far it is a dictatorship of the President , a police state of the lowest sort with an extended  dictatorship of the Prime Minister within a frame work of  […]

By Charles.S.Perera When you have wept your grief, and smothered the last drop of tears you are completely exhausted, lifeless, and nothing seems to matter. What is left is only the  smitten body of once a proud nation in a bier,  four  terrorists in their  fatigues  stand silently on guard at the four corners with […]

By Charles.S.Perera Before turning to the subject of this article it is important to point out how undemocratic is Ranil Wickrmasinge.  Because he did not like the questions put to him at the Derana 360 political programme, the UNP has used its power to undemocratically stop internet access to  Derana. A friend who does astrology […]

By Charles.S.Perera A country’s Constitution is sacro sanct. Writing Constitutions each time a new government is formed by a new political party  is not healthy for democracy. If there is some thing wrong it should be put right by bringing in an Amendments. But until then the Constitution has to be respected, and the  Judiciary […]

By Charles.S.Perera Ranil was interviewed  in two TV programmes.  One in Derana  360 TV programme and the other in Hiru Rata saha Heta TV Programme. In the former he was seen arrogant unsympathetic. In the second the debate turned out to be a monologue, Ranil   posing counter questions without answering the questions asked. He did […]

By Charles.S.Perera Promises ! Promises !!Promises !!!  But what has UNP done since 1978. UNP  profiting from a President elected mostly by a Tamil and a Muslim vote not knowing what to do with the Presidency cast upon him fell heavily on  Ranil Wickramasinghe of UNP as his saviour and made him his Prime Minister. […]

By Charles.S.Perera If you make a mistake in giving your vote on the 17 August, Sri Lanka is doomed to be divided, loose its freedom and peace, dominated by the Western powers, destroying our unique features of a very civilised culture. If you are fooled by a few relief measures, a salary increase or low […]

By Charles.S.Perera Sinhalayo you have come a long way not to disappear now as a small community of dependent Sinhala, hemmed between a Tamil State in the North and a Muslim State in the East. Know your past to build your future. Sri Lanka was inhabited by different tribes the Sinha, Naga and Yaksa.  The […]

By Charles.S.Perera The Moors came to Sri Lanka as traders.  When the Portuguese merchant vessels adventured into Indian Ocean  the Moors were chased away. These vagrant traders chased by the Portuguese sought the protection of Sinhala Kings who settled them in a village in the East allowing them to  marry Sinhala women. They have no […]

By Charles.S.Perera Tamils came to Sri Lanka as plunderers, treasure hunters,   and land grabbers. There were no Tamils in Sri Lanka when Venerable Arahat Mahinda came to Sri Lanka. To love a country and hold it as one’s motherland one has to be born and bred with a great  love and affection to the […]
