These stories of 1983 & Tamils will never die. Apart from the Colombo
incidents one must remember the outstations – I and my family were
effected on 29th July,83 when outsiders raided Deraniyagala town
where Tamil Merchants were hacked to death – totalling 9 murders.
The Police did NOTHING as even the rifle of a single patrolman
stationed in the two was confiscated by the raiders who arrived in a
van. My son aged 20+ was stabbed and burnt to ashes at Udapolla
Estate by neighbouring villagers. We 3 Tamil staff walked 22 miles
that night to reach Parakaduwa where Police reached us on a Tp.
tip-off to them and were saved from threatening Groups by morning.

Puniselva,
Excellent points!

On one hand we should I never forget Mr. JR’s statement “if I starve the Tamils out…”

On the other many spiritual Sinhalese people risked their lives to save Tamils!

And now, 7 years after war, Military meddling into religious affairs in NE??

I got to this article when someone showed me this Tweet-
“how stronger we could be if we are united. What do you think?”

Let’s all think practically! Didn’t the ‘INTENT’ of division come from the Top?
