இதை முழுமையாக வாசிக்கவும்...தமிழருக்கு என்னென்ன நடந்தது எந்தெந்த கலவரங்களில் தாங்கள் என்ன செய்தோம் என்ற எதுவும் இல்லை என்பது ஒரு புறம் இருக்க ஒட்டுமொத்தமாக சிங்களவர்களிடமிருந்து கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள் //Justice Vigneswaran can answer how at the departure of the British following independence, a 6.6 million population country was able to run with less than 180,000 English educated people of ONLY Sinhala and Tamil elite, majority of whom had to convert to Christianity to obtain English education and who had automatic employment whereas the majority of the country knew only Sinhalese? Was it possible to educate 6.6 m in English or get the 180,000 to learn Sinhala // //Justice Vigneswaran speaks about the need for trust but why has he omitted reference to the fact that Tamils themselves broke or severed the trust which evolved since 1923 to the 1931 demand for 50:50 representation when in reality there were more imported Tamil plantation workers than Tamils in Sri Lanka?// //How united are the Tamils? We continue to hear that Tamils wish to live among their own in their “own homeland” but we cannot but hesitate to ask exactly what happened in 1871 where Vellalas, dhobis, barber castes were attacking each other, or in 1923 when Vellalar’s were attacking the Paramba caste on a petty issue of hiring drummers for funerals, in 1929 when Vellala’s objected to the government directive on “equal seating” because they did not want to share the same bench as the “low castes” who by their law had to sit on the floor and this was how the low caste Tamil children had to sit when they finally gained admission to school because of a “Sinhala” Prime Minister or in 1931 when the Vellala’s attacked the Pallar caste also for hiring drummers. If Vellala rule was that low castes could not hire drummers in the same year it is not difficult for people to understand how Tamils would have lived under their own people! Why did Tamils demand 50:50 representation when Tamils at independence were just 733,000 and Sinhalese population was 4.6 million.// ஹைலைட் How would standardization have remotely affected Prabhakaran who did not even study beyond O/L (and neither did his other school dropouts) to bemoan the issue of university entrance? Did the elite Tamils most of whom wanted to continue the rigid caste system of keeping Tamil low castes enslaved under the Tamil Vellala’s who objected to Tamils from Batticoloa and other areas gaining university admission. Come clean on these lies that are being spread unnecessarily to hide the truth." Please also answer how; * In a “Sinhala” state – how is it that Muslims and Tamils make up more than 2/3 the population in Colombo? * In a “Sinhala” state – how is it that the main wholesale trading is virtually run by either Muslims or Tamils? * If Buddhists run Sri Lanka why is the commercial activity of Sri Lanka in the hands of non-Buddhists and in the capital itself the Sinhalese remain the minority populace? * In a “Sinhala” state – how is it that Tamils and Muslims can purchase property, land and live wherever they like but when a Sinhalese wants to live in the North it is termed as “colonization”? * In a “Sinhala” state – how is it that no Tamil, Muslim child is denied education in any school be it national, international, semi-private etc? * In a “Sinhala” state – where does it deny Tamils or Muslims employment in either Public or Private sector because of their ethnicity? Yet, do Tamils and Muslims not openly declare they do not sell to Sinhalese (Buddhists), they do not employ Sinhalese (Buddhists) "Shenali D Waduge" - See more at: dailynews.lk/?q=features%2Fnow-vigneswaran-champions-it#sthash.cJUQkkUw.dpuf
