Christians control education, the military, police, and civil roles, while Jaffna Tamils monopolized government, university positions. Indians controlled retail, trade much more
Tamil ethnonationalist: Blame brahmins for problems in Tamil Nadu. Blame Telugu for problems in Tamil Nadu. Blame Sinhalese for Tamil problems in Sri Lanka. Blame Muslims for Tamil problems in Sri Lanka. Never blame Tamil ethno nationalism. 🤦♂️ (This is just for the pro Tamil)
by constructing chariots and temple cars. But brahmins with their bogus merit and Vedas made these bahujans a lower class and identified themselves as the intelligentsia of this land. 11/n

The naga Buddhist of Jaffna. This is why I said Jaffna Tamil need to reclaim their Buddhsit heritage. Hinduism doesn't necessarily mean Tamil and Buddhism doesn't necessarily mean Sinhalese.
Sri Lankan women prior to British arrival and Mughal influence:
They could dress as they want. It is colonial rule that made men cut their hair short, stop wearing earrings and told women to cover.

I literally don't understand why Palestine is not officially recognised as a nation. Even if it's an oberserver state, like Taiwan. if Taiwan would be attacked by China, western powers would tell China to respect Taiwan 🇹🇼 sovereignty.
Why isn't it the same for Palestine 🇵🇸
🇱🇰 need a balance. One side you have people claiming Sri Lanka racist. While they support a state called "Tamil Eelam". Other hand you have Tamils complaining why isn't Tamil writing there. While the Sinhalese complain why isn't Sinhalese writing there.
Both sides the problem!!
🇱🇰 The Tamil language has more visibility in Sri Lanka than it does in its country of origin. The Sri Lankan flag is also the only national flag in the world that explicitly recognizes the Tamil people.
But the howling never stops.

Our ancestors: Men wore earrings. They made the karma-sutra. Women were bare breasted. Men had long hair.
That is our culture prior to Mughal and British.
After them we have men like this:

Send These pro Israeli, Sri Lankans to Israel, let see how well they be treated.
Send the Pro Palestine Sri Lankans to Muslim arab nations, see how they will be treated as

A Sri Lankan Tamil can become 🇱🇰 president
As long as he doesn't focus only on Tamil ethnic and region politics.

Ranil does soemthing to promote unity. No one Sinhalese Tamil applaud him. However if he did the opposite. Pro Tamil would be on a mad one. They silence Sri Lanka when it promotes unity. They yell when Sri Lanka promotes division.
Why?
I am a believer that Maveerar Naal for LTTE should be normalised just like JVP hero's month
Yet don't forget what these men are going through now because of you. Abandoned by the state, forgotten by our people. Dont forget our war heroes, their sacrifice's 🙏

I also feel the one who asked the question was quite rude and disrespectful, he could have phrased it in a better way without accusing the president of all these.
No offence but Sri Lanka side had 250,000 soldiers some state 300,000.
LTTE side only 30,000. Numerically one side was more willing to fight for it sovereignty.

Both nationalists need to be taken out. None of them are acting for the common Sinhala Tamil men. Just because this monk has a rob and he is Sinhalese does not mean he has my best interest at heart. Lord Buddha would never accept such monk, who divide!
@alisabrypc
Yes many Sri Lankans seem to forget the daily bombings and how their parents were scared to get on buses, trains to go to work or let their children go to school.

In Kundasale on 13 September 1989, the JVP allegedly killed sixteen family members of three security forces personnel of Sri Lanka army.
The following night, the Eagles UNP paramilitary set fire to a number of residential dwellings in Menikhinna, killing approximately 52 people.

Basically in a nutshell we are on way to become a Hawai. This is why a country should never prioritise tourism. It will only exploit locals and others will make a fortune that includes foreigners and the elites of Sri Lanka.
In August 1990, after a series of brutal massacres of hundreds of Muslim civilians by the LTTE, Muslim leaders demanded that the Sri Lankan government arm their communities. The government responded by establishing Muslim "home guards"
🇱🇰 put this biased men in his place
These Sinhala and Muslim civilians were formed into the notorious "home guards" in the 1985 and enacted some of the most brutal violence against Tamils in the border villages. 34,000 are now being offered early retirement by the government.

So any Tamil in Sri Lanka basically have to agree a genocide occured and Tamils are oppressed according to her.
Isn't that coercive, forcing, someone to agree with a certain narrative.

@danidhu_kv
Why would Zahran etc kill themselves for rajapaksa, does that make any sense to anyone, specially Pilliyan whose always using anti Muslim to gain popularity?
In 1949: Tamil Ceylon must govern itself. It is the most elementary right of small nations to have self determination.
Chelvanayakam has been a curse to the unity of Sri Lanka, a Malaysian who came to Sri Lanka claimed Sri Lanka is Tamil homeland and preached seperatism.
I kept telling everyone Ranil will change the nation. The men also has to back those corrupt politicians that voted him in but he still works for the people. A year ago the country was in a much worse place then it is today. Thank to king Ranil.
@Welikumbura
If you're not Buddhist don't talk on this.
End of the day this temple was build by Naga. The ancestors of both Sinhala and Tamil.
Therefore both should be allowed to worship.
It's that simple.

@Welikumbura
This is the issue. Tamils attribute this monk beheaviour to all Sinhalese. While Sinhalese like him attribute the razing of Sinhala tombs as something every Tamil does.
Like Tamils brother have nothing better to do. Whoever responsible need be investigate. Including the monk.

These Imams are like Bodu Bala Sena of Sri Lanka. My friend in Pakistan said they weaponise Islam all the while driving expensive range rovers, showing off their mansions and having 20 butlers. 🤦♂️

Why disregard the fact that Sinhala tombs are being razed and only focus on the monks speech?
One who truly cares for all Sri Lankans would focus on ending all extremisms in lanka.
Whether it's Tamil Sinhala Moor.

Close economic policy, standirdization, nationalisation of schools, which ultimately dragged us into a civil war, policies to deviate from her policy failures while she took trips abroad, playing peace maker, when people were queuing for necessities.

I side with the Hindus here. If Muslims could not come to a peaceful solution, on an historical temple of the Great Lord Ram. The Muslims themselves are to be blamed to.
This is an HISTORICAL temple, where Lord Ram is born.
This isn't a normal temple.
In the Indian city of Ayodhya, the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is preparing to inaugurate a vast Hindu temple.
The site of the temple was once that of the Babri Masjid, a 16th century mosque, built during Muslim Mughal rule that occupied India from the early 16th to

When faced with such monks ask them to cite the main principles of Buddhism then ask them if what they do is adhering to Buddhist teachings. Furthermore ask them what car they drive. If it's a sports car. Treat them no longer as monks.
Very large possibility that a portion of the ancestors of the Sinhalese maybe left the area due to the end of Buddhism in the area and came to Sri Lanka.
Is it a possibility

It's disrespectful point blank! Why cant Sri Lankans just support each other! You're gone trigger Buddhist world wide! Let this young girl tell you how wrong you are!
Sri Lankans should make a little effort to learn Sinhala and Tamil. The little effort each make can contribute to a stronger united Sri Lanka.

In the time of our great King Parakramabahu I. He enforced Buddhist discipline during his reign, taking action against monks who didn't adhere to precepts properly. He disrobed corrupt monks. Should this happen in 2023.
Main reason for his death was he wanted to unite Africa, with a currency, backed by its gold. This would not only destroy the American dollar, it would destroy the Europe Union, especially European nations exploiting Africa, for its wealth.
He would have empowered Africa.

If they really cared they would spend their own money to better the lives of Sri Lankans. Instead they use it on luxury cars, mansions etc. They don't care for Sri Lankans. We need politicians thag actually care for the people not materialistic things, lavish life etc.
If not for India, the war would have ended by 1987. India came in and saved LTTE.
India then became the threat and
Sri Lanka government armed LTTE against India. Which is the turning point that allowed LTTE to be a proper force.
In truth politicians benefited from this war to

First Telugu Padya inscription of Kalinga was found in Sri Bhagavathi temple at Deerghasi, Srikakulam. It was issued in 1077 AD by Vanapathi, commander of Ganga king Sri Raja Raja, marking his victories over Chola, Odda( Odisha), Kimidi, Kosala and other kingdoms.

If you look closely at history, the Velalar Tamil are the one who denied education, temple entry and more to the other caste which form more then 60%. Eventually they would have had war with themselves the same way it happened to the Sinhalese with JVP and the UNP
