True that Ashoka did a lot to propagate Buddhism, but he never changed his tactics. He actually did cultural invasion

And this has happened prior to the july riots in 1983...which shows that india started training LTTE before the july riots

yes, but he was not. He was a relative of JR and i dont think even JR knew this incident. May be the general did not think of taking the matter to president

There arent many who can lead UNP, The chances are if SLFP were allowed to have rajapakses, UNP will sit in opposition another 20-30 years. There is no leftism or capitalism in what Dayan says, he is a realist and his criticism against RW government is extremely valid

I found this from General Cyril Ranathunga's memoir. Thought you guys will find it interesting. @Gibbs, @HeinzG @Godman @DarkSeid "However the highest authorities were not interested. Col.Dharmapala, secretary to the ministry of defence, was of no use. Once I came rushing down to Colombo to...

I dont know whether Dayan is anti capitalist or not, but Dayan is right about RW, Mangala and CBK. This has nothing to do about capitalism. The current gover is neo liberal and dangerous to SL

I have seen enough of your replies to understand you are a simple blind RW follower. The very reason you get panicked at the mere mention of names like Dayan ( critiques of RW) proves it. The problem is the government does not take any action to update FTA , the government does not consult...

Actually this government before it gets elected promised that they will change the tax structure in SL and raise the % of direct taxes in tax revenue. Instead of doing that RW decreased the tax rate that too amid a monetary crisis. But increased indirect taxes and put the burden on poor and came...

RIP the dead.....

@Gibbs Thanks for the tag mate. Kelegama's article was really enlightening dont like him that much after his support to ETCA :) First i think the problem is in SL's tax structure. Our direct tax is so much less it is at 11% while it is normally 40% in rest of the world. So the majority of the...

exactly it is just that @Godman 's god father is crazy and stupid really which business magnates? @Gibbs

SL hasnt accepted anything, how can you accept anything that you have no solid evidence to? SLG has been asking CH4 to give the original video and they will investigate and take actions. But CH4 did not do that. How many actually know CH4 has links with LTTE funders? between this foreign...

thank you Pakistan..appreciated

@HeinzG මචං උඹට කේන්ති ඇති...හැබැයි මේක අයින් කරන්න..

This is what I am pointing at, the national anthem in tamil has not being sung since 60s ..so it was not the previous gover which did it

Not passing tamil as an official language is a poor decision by the then government. I have explained that several times in this forum it self. But what you do not know is while passing Sinhala as the official language Tamil had the status of regional langauge similar to what you have in India...

I said MR government removed the legality of it which is certainly a bad move.that is a different issue....it has not been sung on Independance day since like 60s. that is a different issue. The thing is government cannot run a country if it ignores the opinion on majority. That is simple...

I am pretty much knowledgable on SL history

I dont know from where you picked this infor. Tamil national anthem has not been sung in independence day in SL in recent history at least since 1960s. So it is wrong to say MR did that. What MR did was removing the legal recognition of tamil langauge anthem which is of course wrong and stupid...

No one make them to resign. They had to learn Sinhala. that is it. What else we to pass as state langauge other than Sinhala? Your langauge? we did not invite anyone to our country. Our countries border's were not in our hands during british period and British brought outsiders to alter the...
