My brother Rajash. You have always been our brother, even when LTTE was bombing Colombo and killing Sinhalese. Time has come for you (Tamils) to express your solidarity by accepting Sri Lanka as their country while giving the due recognition for Sinhalese in Sri Lanka as the majority. Tamils and Muslims should understand that they have their freedom and due recognition only because of Sinhalese. I mean not Sinhalese politicians, but Sinhalese people. We all agree that all politicians are corrupted bas.s regardless of their ethnicity.
Work with Sinhalese people and make this country the best place on earth!! A Sinhalese brother /. Working with mutual understanding with the Sinhala people in general is not the problem. It has never been so and it is not so now, but its the few ulterior-thinking politicians some followers, both lay and religious, who promote a Buddhist extremist thinking in the ordinary people, are the problem. It is when the ordinary Sinhalese reaalise the fraudulent intensions of these few extremists, general mutual understanding among all sections of the people can be strengthened. The present Govt.
Has begun taking some meaningful steps, and more should be done. Such steps can be slow but should be deliberate. My brother, While I agree with you 100%, i must say that some roots of the extreme Sinhalese/Buddhist cause has been started from Muslim extremism, weather you agree or not. When you look at what is happening all around the world and in Sri Lanka, they (Sinhalese/Buddhist) are having a very reasonable doubt that Muslim are going to take over Sri Lanka from them.
That’s a fair fear and a justifiable reason to act swiftly. To be very honest, this is the BIGGEST fear Sinhalese/Buddhist have over Muslims today. So please stop trying to increase Muslim population to over shadow the majority Sinhalese/Buddhist. Try to live in harmony with them, instead of trying to take them over. I really don’t want to see another war between Sinhalese/Buddhist and Muslims!!! A true Sinhalese brother /.
The talk of Muslim extremism, whether in Sri Lanka or anywhere, started only withn the last ten years or so. We are discussing Sri Lanka where the foundation for Sinhala Buddhist extremism was laid with the introduction of the Sinhala only Act followed by the use of Buddhism for political objectives by power-seeking Sinhala Buddhist politicians to outdo one and another. The first Sinhala Buddhist extremist outfit among civilllians backed by interested Politicians was the Bauddha Jathika Balavegaya, led by N. Metthananda, Nissanka Wijeratne and the likes, which led a campaign particularly against the Christians was founded in the 1960s during the Srimavo Government. Similar organisations, with extreme Sinhala Buddhist agendas, came into being under different names from time to time. And this is what that led to the communal, racial and religous conflicts by which Sri Lanka suffered for several decades.
That is stark history. Muslim never sowed the seeds of extremism in Sri Lanka. It came from a few sinister Sinhala Buddhist politicians who used Sinhala Language and Buddhism for political objectives which caused responses and reactions from other sections of the peodple. Huna “When you look at what is happening all around the world and in Sri Lanka, they (Sinhalese/Buddhist) are having a very reasonable doubt that Muslim are going to take over Sri Lanka from them. That’s a fair fear and a justifiable reason to act swiftly.” There is no reason to believe that paranoid Sinhala/Buddhists have reasonable doubts.
Paranoid Sinhala/Buddists believe that the entire world is against them. From Indians, Tamil Nadu Tamils, Up country Tamils, Tamils of this island, Diaspora Tamils, USA and the west, Marsians, Aliens from planet of Apes, Maldivians, South Africans, are queuing up to invade over and eventually rule this Sinhala/Buddhist island. The new invented enemy is the ISIS. I suggest go have your head examined before typing the most ridiculous claims. Native Wedda/Marzooks, You have denied public facts given in WIKI. You are welcome to publish stats if they suggest otherwise. Until then, what’s published remains as reality.
I guess your definition of Paranoid Sinhalese = BBS, MR, Gota, Champika etc. But i don’t represent them. The truth is, if you speak to any Sinhalese/Buddhist/Christian or Hindu in this country, 99% of them will tell you that, they fear that the Muslim population could over take the rest in the future. Paranoid or not, that remains the truth. Please deal with it. Denial won’t help neither party.
Hey, let do a small test. DEAR READER, IF DENY WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED, PLEASE DISLIKE THIS POST, ELSE PLEASE LIKE IT. WE ALL COULD SEE THE TRUTH Good day brothers /.
Huna, Including the Christians and Hindus as having fears of Muslims over-taking them is your fantastic invention. The fact is that Christians and Hindus too live in fear of the extremist Buddhists.
The fear of the Muslim population overtaking the Buddhists too is a fantastic ‘gundu’ fed to the innocent and gullible minority section of the Buddhists by the scheming politicians. You can still see MR in his delusions of fear of his political time coming to an end has renewed his communal orchestration. You will be doing real good for peace and harmony in Sri Lanka by not subjecting yourself to this gundu. My brother Marzookz, You did not answer my point, rather you talked about history.
Well, we can talk all day long about the history. But it doesn’t help anyone. Check the given link to statistics of Muslim population in EU today. This is why Europeans have panicked. This is why Norwegians, Swedes and Germans have started assault rampages on Muslims. So Sri Lanka is not isolated.
Sinhalese/Buddhist are afraid that the only country for them in the world could be lost in the future if things go as it is. This is the bitter truth.
Like it or not, this is the truth and the reality. The million dollar question is, do Muslims in Sri Lanka realize? Do they really try to increase it’s population and take over the Sinhalese/Buddhist. If the answer is if they do and don’t act like so, i’m so relieved and glad. If not hmmmmm.
It’s ticking bomb!! A True Sinhalese /. Firstly there is no evidence provided by any credible authorities in Sri Lanka that Muslim births are increased deliberately to over-take the Sinhala-Buddhist population. Such talk is done in kope kades. Secondly, credible stastics provided show that taking the rate of births among all the communities the Sinhala-Buddhist community’s population cannot be exceeded by any other even for the next hundred years. The propaganda of Muslim threat in Europe is another overorchestration for political objectives, and the reality is different.
Of course as Islam happens to be a religion mostly discussed and debated in the West there is an increasing interest shown people of other religins towards Islam and many of them choose to embrace the religion. That is the reality. Sandy “Indeed, the Tamils and Sinhalese ARE brothers and sisters.” Yes, Indeed! They are Para brothers and sisters from India, in the Land of Native Veddah Aethho.

The decline of the influence of the Mahinda Rajapakse, his family, kith and kin; although late has begun.
Their present brave words of return to power and so on are like the noice of the excaping gas. Similarly the MR clan will soon completely disappear from the political scene. Cannot it be noticed that Chamal Rajapakse, the quiet and maturned person, is seen gradually moving away from associating with the MR clique. That is one indication of the impending decline of the MR clan. So have no fear of a return of Gota to power. Also, as the trend of realisation in the people has now begun a reversal to another MR era can definitely be ruled out. I wanted to post a lengthy comment after hearing this news.
Due to lack of time, could not. First of congratulations, though it is baby step, i hope fervantly this small gesture will grow into motherly step. There are many anti-TN comments I have observed for many days atleast since I have been reading CT.
I was young boy, probably that was the time I started understanding cricket and started playing at my schools, i remember a match between pakistan and Srilanka where we all at home glued to TV and praising Aravinde batting. ( Correctly 1988 Sharjha if I remember that match). We supported Srilanka in every match aginst Pakistan ( not against India), all these turned venom over years because so many unfortunate events, even now tamils from this side enevr treat all sinhalese as enemies but rabid rats like Gota and Mahind and ilks. Gesture like these will be a step to grow trust between communities. Hope in same way the other compelling issues of Tamils there been resolved, any my wishes there with you. Coomon guys, we want to again appreciate srilankan cricket like pre 1990.
Human societies function best when we are least legalistic and are most humiliated when laws and constitutions expand to embrace every available space in our lives; ranging from how we are to engage in sport, to where we may or may not worship and whether and how we should remember our dead. We are to consequently strive after a constitution of fundamentals that set us free to care for each other as we should, organise ourselves as we wish, pursue our varied human interests as we must and contest those whose obsession it is to control and restrict the lives of those they are mandated to enhance and liberate.

National anthem of Sri Lanka After independence was granted to Sri Lanka (at the time known as Ceylon) in 1948, the need for a national anthem arose. As a result of a contest, Ananda Samarakoon's contribution, written in Sinhalese, was chosen as the new anthem. It was first performed on the fourth anniversary of independence in early 1952. Mother Lanka we salute Thee! Plenteous in prosperity, Thou, Beauteous in grace and love, Laden with grain and luscious fruit, And fragrant flowers of radiant hue, Giver of life and all good things, Our land of joy and victory, Receive our grateful praise sublime, Lanka!
We worship Thee. Thanks to Jackie for suggesting this piece!
Sri Lanka National Anthem Tamil Download
Sri Lanka Matha is the national anthem of Sri Lanka. The original song was written and tuned by the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.Later, it was translated and composed by the Ananda Samarakoon in 1940, and was then adopted as the national anthem in 1951.It was written when Sri Lanka was still a British colony and was initially written as a tribute to Sri Lanka, expressing sentiments of freedom, unity and independence, and not for the purpose of serving as a national anthem. The song however became very popular throughout the 1940s and 3 years after Sri Lanka's independence, it was chosen to be the national anthem. The first independence day it was sung was in 1952. History The song was officially adopted as the national anthem of Ceylon on November 22, 1951, by a committee headed by Sir Edwin Wijeyeratne. The anthem was translated into the Tamil language by M. The first line of the anthem originally read: Namo Namo Matha, Apa Sri Lanka.
There was some controversy over these words in the 1950s, and in 1961 they were changed to their present form, Sri Lanka Matha, Apa Sri Lanka, without Samarakoon's consent. The Second Republican Constitution of 1978 gave Sri Lanka Matha constitutional recognition.
Multilingual The Sri Lankan national anthem is one of a number that are sung in more than one language: Canada (English, French & Inuktitut), Belgium (French, Dutch & German), Switzerland (German, French, Italian & Romansh), South Africa (Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans & English), Suriname (Dutch and Sranan Tongo), and New Zealand (English & Māori). The majority of Sri Lankans (more than 80%) speak the Sinhala language and the Sinhala version is mainly used in Sri Lanka for public and private events. This version is the only version used during international sports and other events. Due to popularity of the song and it's rich meaning, it's being translated into several other languages. Although the Sinhala version of the anthem is used at official/state events, the Tamil translation is also sung at some events.
The Tamil translation is used at official events held in the Tamil speaking regions in the North and East of Sri Lanka. The Tamil translation is sung at Tamil medium schools throughout the country.
The Tamil translation was used even during the period when Sinhala was the only official language of the country (1956–87). Tamil version controversy On 12 December 2010 The Sunday Times reported that the Cabinet of Sri Lanka headed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa had taken the decision to scrap the Tamil translation of Sri Lanka Matha at official and state functions, as 'in no other country was the national anthem used in more than one language' - even though the national anthems of Canada, South Africa and those of several other countries have more than one language version. The Cabinet's decision had followed a paper on the national flag and national anthem produced by Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister W. The paper had drawn on the Singaporean model where the national anthem is sung in the official lyrics and not any translation of the lyrics.
Based on this the paper recommended that the Sri Lankan national anthem only be sung in Sinhala and the Tamil translation be abolished. The paper's authors had failed to realise that the official lyrics of the Singaporean national anthem are in Malay, a minority language (75% of Singaporeans are Chinese). A Government minister Wimal Weerawansa had labelled the Tamil version a 'joke' on Derana TV, and had cited India as an analogy. Some journalists (E.g. DBS Jeyaraja) claimed that it was wrong of Weerawansa to cite India as an analogy because according to them the Indian national anthem was not in Hindi, which is the most widely spoken language of India, but in Bengali, a minority language.
Indeed, although sources based on an official Government of India website state that the Indian National anthem was adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly of India, the proceedings of the Constituent Assembly of India on 24 January 1950 does not mention that the National Anthem was 'adopted', nor does it mention that it was done so in its Hindi version. In any case, in actual practice the unaltered Bengali version is the version sung as the National Anthem, with its words in original Bengali Tatsama, a highly Sanskritized form of Bengali that has Sanskrit words common to both Hindi and Bengali. The alleged Cabinet's decision to scrap the Tamil translation caused much furore in Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan government denied allegations that the Tamil translation of the anthem was to be abolished. The Presidential Secretariat has stated that there was no basis to the media report and follow up reports which intimated the same Tune of Sri Lankan Anthem The Sri Lankan anthem's tune is similar to a Hindu devotional song Jai Jagdish Hare. However, there isn't much knowledge on whether the tune was inspired from the song.
