It is only Sri lanka that can protect and advance Sinhala language, its associated culture and heritage.\u00a0 India can look after Tamil language.\u00a0 Mr SWRD, though in power for relatively short period of time, made the change to place Sri Lanka at the highest place. Those who disagree with this policy, please go through the final examination results of BA. BSc. MSc. Phd., Chartered Accountants, Surveyors, Lawyers, Doctors., you can find for yourself until SWRD came into power, almost 85% of the lists of finalists were: Arsekularatnam, Argumugam, Annamuththu, Arunachalam,Balendran, Balachandran, Balakrishnan, Chenniah, Vigneswaran, etc. the endless lists from A to Z of Tamils.<\/p>\n

Higher Education was confined to Tamils. Through systematic elimatination, those who progressed up the ladder were Tamils or those with Sinhala names, but puppets of Tamils or Muslims.\u00a0 Lets see the First Cabinet of Sri Lanka:<\/p>\n

D S SENANAYAKE<\/p>\n

H W AMARASURIYA<\/p>\n

SWRD BANDARANAIKE<\/p>\n

GEORGE E DE SILVA<\/p>\n

A E GUNATILLEKE<\/p>\n

SIR OLIVER GUNATILEKE<\/p>\n

SENARAT GUNAWARDENE<\/p>\n

T B JAYAH<\/p>\n

J R JAYAWARDENE<\/p>\n

JOHN KOTALAWELA<\/p>\n

A E NUGAWELA<\/p>\n

G G PONNAMBALAM<\/p>\n

LALITHA RAJAPAKSE<\/p>\n

A RATNAYAKE<\/p>\n

DUDLEY SENANAYAKE<\/p>\n

C SITTAMPALAM<\/p>\n

C SUNDARALINGAM<\/p>\n

EDWIN WIJERATNE<\/p>\n

When SWRD formed MEP to make Sinhala Official Language, none of these upper class were his comrades.<\/p>\n

The 1952 cabinet of Mr Dudley Senanayake continued with:<\/p>\n

EDWIN WIJERARATNE<\/p>\n

C SITTAMPALAM<\/p>\n

G G PONNAMBALAM, but added:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. NADESAN<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    V NALLIAH<\/p>\n

    M C M KALEEL<\/p>\n

    Mr SWRD did not hesitate to eliminate Tamil domination from the Cabinet, he only had C A S \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marikar, a Muslim as a minister., but brought in those who fought for Sri Lanka and Sinhala Language for the past several years, including Greats such as:<\/p>\n

    PHILIP GUNAWARDENE<\/p>\n

    P H WILLIAM DE SILVA<\/p>\n

    W DAHANAYAKE<\/p>\n

    T B ILLANGARATNE.<\/p>\n

    The foundation laid down by SWRD in 1956\u00a0 had produced encouraging results, whereby boys and girls of schools and colleges throughout the island are not advancing to the University education.\u00a0 This disliked by Tamils such as Sambandam and Sinhala cronies like Ranil Wickremasinghe, Chandrika.\u00a0 Chandrika is already eliminated from the political map of Sri Lanka, other remaining anti Sri Lankan cronies will have their days numbered.<\/p>\n

    Sinhala and English ought to be Official Languages of Sri Lanka \u00a0with National Language status for Tamil in North and East.\u00a0 This policy should be given highest priority in its implementation to ensure the pride of place for Sinhalese.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
