I didn’t say corruption is less in provincial level. That is poor understanding of my comment from your side. By this bill Basil would get unlimited power over the funds. UPFA members who are submissive and lackeys of the Rajapakse family too would get that. Haven’t u heard of the term, “power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts.” And every one who is knowledgeable of politics in SL know how corrupted this guy Basil is.

the communal line of thinking never started within sinhalese, it started by the tamil racist forefathers in 1920s to retain their apartheid privilages under biritish(what ever the sinhalese did, always been reactionary to counter tamil tribalistic demands)

Both the Sinhalese and the Tamils are guilty. But most of the damage was done by Sinhala political leaders and their supporters including monks. Sinhala nationalism started much earlier than 1920s. It started during early 1900. If you go through the Sinhala books at that time you can understand the trend. There were separatist elements in the Tamil leaders at that time but as a whole Tamil community was not for separatism. If you want to talk about who started it first u can argue until the world ends. But it really won’t help us or the country. It would be a stupid debate like who came here first, the Tamils or the Sinhalese. But, 1956 language law was brought by Sinhala leaders, the protests against it by Tamil leaders was brought down violently by the Sinhala leaders. The university entrance standardization law was brought by Sinhala leaders. Banda- Chelva, Dudley- Chelva pacts were abandoned by Sinhala leaders. The riots in 1983 were initiated by Sinhalese. The government of this country did not do its duty to protect the tamil civilians in Colombo in 1983. These are the events that were turning points of the history of our country. Now don’t tell me these are just reactions to Tamil’s actions. Even if what u say is true, Sinhalese acts are wrong.
If Tamils are tribal, Sinhalese are tribal too. There is nothing wrong in one having love for his/her language, ethnicity and culture. I have the same for mine. There were no special privileges provided to Tamils by the British. It is just that Tamils utilized the opportunities more than the Sinhalese. There was both a Sinhala and Tamil elite that got benefits because of their service to british. If the Sinhalese didn’t use the opportunity at that time it is their mistake not the tamils’.

..as i said it is paramount that we need to get rid of the 13th(except for the language provisions), since it is the only hope the tamil tribals have in creating their mythical ghetto..

Tamil was made equal to Sinhala language by the 13th amendment. How can you get rid of the 13 without taking back the status given to tamil language? It is shameful that as a country we waited until 1987 to make Tamil which is the mother tongue of many citizens to be made a national language. If you want to get rid of tamil nationalism which u refer to as tamil tribals the best way is to solve their problems. Let them mind their own things in their language in where they live for centuries in one country. Not only that solve many problems of Tamils but also would help the country to run efficiently. Also Tamils’ language problem is not solved at all. I have been to many gov institutions that run their functions in Sinhala. It is almost impossible for anyone to get his work done without knowing Sinhala. That is the reality that requires changes. We need to monitor and take effective actions to make sure language equality is achieved in SL. The politicians who run this country do not care for this country. It is their personal well being that they care most. They try to gain something for them in everything they do. As a result many areas are neglected in this country. And people like you billy boy help them to ruin this country. You are worried about Tamil tribal ghettos then what about Sinhala Buddhist tribal ghettos which even alienate non Buddhist Sinhala ppl.

sri lanka should be equal to all, no body should be against creating a just society that treats everybody equals with equal rights, but no way we should agree to give special rights to tamils, just because that was the case under british!

No one is asking you to give Tamils special rights. They are asking for the rights that every Lankan is entitled to. How can you achieve equality in this country when Tamils have to conduct many of their activities in their neighbors’ language? When Tamils who live in N&E have to ask for everything from the central government before doing anything in the area they live. When Tamils are not even able to sing the national anthem in their language in their own country as equal citizens how can we achieve equality?

But you did NOT answer my question.

Tell me what we achieved as a race by having a unitary structure. Why do we need unitary structure?
