Dear All,<\/p>\n

\u2018Tamilstan, Muslimstan or Federalism<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Need to neutralize the Sinhala Buddhist image and influence. Cancel Poya days as holiday. Find out exactly on which date Buddha attained Nirvana and make that day only a holiday (like Christmas if you wish). De-robe all the thugs in saffron. Destroy all Budhha statues littering the country with crow droppings. Take away the prominence given to Sangha. All Sinhala Politicians to stop blaring Sri Lanka is Sinhala Bull shit country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Where is the government? What is Maitree Sirisena doing? I can understand what Ranil the traitor is doing, for he is born to bring the nemesis for this Island nation.<\/p>\n

I also copy a famous Sinhala verse in this backdrop I learnt as a child and I make a modest attempt to pen a modern version of the same situation below for your awakening and for you to relax a bit.<\/p>\n
