The first of these moves is the abject recognition that we have done great wroing to the Tamils by using military force to crush Prabhakaran and his armed hordes. A necessary corpllary is that the Land of Lanka is shared with the Tamils and the right of cessation is inalienable. The RW-MS ruling coalition will not publicly admit this but it is clear that their \u2018Foreign Masters\u2019 have an assuarance that the Tamil claim to be separate and equal will be fully realized through a political re-structuring.<\/p>\n<p>The second move is to tightly integrate the economy of Sri Lanka with that of India through submissive pacts such as the proposed Indo-Sri lanka Comprehensive Trade Aggreement which will see Indian Industrial Giants taking ove the commanding hights of our Economy. Hordes of educated Indians will find Sri Lanka a pleasant refuge from the rising Barbarities of their homeland. The claim that the Sinhala Indigenes will be reduced to the status of an aboriginl population is not overblown.<\/p>\n<p>The third disastrous move is to sell prime land in the Sinhala Coastal Belt to Foreign Capitalist purpodly to infuse much needed capital and alien expertise to transform Sri Lanka into a modern state. The faemers of yore are to be replaced by trouser-wearing technicians with \u2018digital age\u2019 devices strapped to their ancient bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose these Machiavellian political moves have Parliamentary support and are successfully executed.

The last \u2013 and memorable \u2013 betrayal was by the Sinhala Kandyan chiefs. Alas, a leadership has arisin in this late stage of our history that is prepared to barter our land and our historic rights for securing the \u2018kudos\u2019 of the foreign Overlord at a time of great peril to the Sinhala Nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R Chandrasoma There are three political moves curremtly afoot that can spell doom to Sinhala Nationalism and the identity of Sri Lanka as a distinctive Nation with a proud history.
