My vision is one of general progress of humanity. It is vital that we aspire for a common national identity and embrace the best global integration can offer while galvanizing our cultural heritage.

Wish him ALL THE BEST!!
Although I do not support Srilanka to be dictated by any president, I support Our current president for his effort to unite the country. I appreciate any solution within united Srilanka with Democratic principles with western philosophy which is good for human psyche.
I do not accept any form of cruel dominance and exploitation of innocent people for the advancement of primitive cruel Srilankans.
Nature selects which is adapted to the enviroment. Superior supports superiors.
God is on the superior’s side.
Hello Namal,
I am happy an dgreateful to the sinhala Demoratic peaceful government that lifted unwanted Laws.
May God bless our Nation.
Now the Government has to negotiate with unwilling FREEDOM fighters who were described as TERRORISTS by educated intellectuals for a peaceful power sharing for their right to live culturally and intellectually.
Thank you
I HAVE ANOTHER CONCERN THAT WHETHER tAMILS WILL BE SETTLE DOWN IN THEIR TRADITIONAL PLACES FOR THEIR LIVELIHOOD.
TAMILS NEED LAND OWNERSHIP AND AGRICULTURE TO KEEP THEM PEACEFUL UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT DEVELOP THE TAMIL’S AREA.
WHY IS SINHALA GOVERNMENT IS SPOILING TAMIL’S NATURAL RESOURCES BY EXPLOITING THEM FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES?
IF THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO FIGHT AGAINST TERRORIOSM IT MUST SHOW THAT IT HAS THE CAPABLITY TO GIVE A SECURED PEACEFUL LIFE TO ANY GROUP IN SRILANKA.
WHO ARE THE UNIDENTIFIED CRUEL ANIMALS THOSE ATTACK PEACEFUL UNARMED CIVILIANS?
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NEVER INDUCE AGGRESSION AND INSECURITY IN ETHNIC MINORITIES.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SRILANKA?
A GOOD POLITICIAN HAS TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE HE BECOMES SUCCESSFUL IN HIS CAREER.
i AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY.
Hello Namal,
Who are the people those attack Tamils for revenge and whose bobies are covered by greece?
If you can not secure that Tamils can not live protected under sinhala security what is the purpose of uniting the country by attacking and killing LTTE?
If Tamils have to give up their demand for separate Homeland, Sinhala Government has to show that it can give a secured prosperous life Tmail innocent civilians.
hese people have been living in UK for more then 3 decades and developed themselves incrementaly which was not successful in the highly sophisticated knowledge society.These are cruel dominant forces who dare to kill their neighbours for their benefit. I do not like these people who are real nature of wild animals.
I was bullied and attacked by educated srilakan jaffna Tamils for their prifitabiliy because they could not become successful in their business with their knowledge and advancement which is not correct.
Hello Namal,
Turn the wheel of life in the right direction for the best of all.
You belong to Srilankans. We all will like you.
Hello Namal,
Our country has to be in the world standard to be proud of ourselves. Therefore everyone of has the obligation to work towards the major goal of achieving autonomy for every body by becoming successful to the managerial world which will be indicated by constituional reform process.
We have to overcome excess Dominance and exploitation by protected by law and order in civilized highly developed society.
Instead of depending on our animalhood and aggression to go forward we have to think of scientific high standard way of solving problems so that we will the highest and best standard in the world.
If you could influence those going for primitive way of doing things the world will appreciate you.
Recognition of the developed countries and support is important for respectable standard of living.
We should not become a failure after ethnic conflict.
Competition , natural selection process, survival of the fittest are the qulities belong to living nature.
Solicitors from One of the best London firm are also fighting that they are highly educated and I have to obey to them instead of trying to sort out my problem by myself.
They are educated and know the rules to play with the Governmental Organisation and do not want to explain it the clients since the client may be more intelligent than them.
Therefore we have to educate our people to become self-standing and solve their problems.
Democracy is the best form of people’s government where Government is the servent of the citizen.
India is following Democracy. Srilankans are not different from Indians.
Democracy is familiar to Srilankans as they are Indo-Germanic and Indic People.
The Government has to go for Educated human sciences to win the western world which is also correct.
We have to turn to science and human nature for explaning the behavior of different groups.
John,
I hope that young people can be easily conformed to accept and see problems in a different angle than older people who are set in their old ways.
I was affected by cruel primitive Jaffna Tamils who are educated and show excessive dominance towards ladies, other ethnic groups and powerless people. They exploit others for their advancement. But they do not advance to managerial world.
I do not want my country to be the market of the world so that every country can sell their products and advance in technology. That is what Margret Thatcher did.
My mother was raped and killed by Indian Peace Keeping Forces.
My farther was not given recognition in the Jaffna society.
I do not want the trauma again.
I would like to have a good educated leader who can lead the country unselfishly for the good of humanity.
Ranil is a very good leader, but he wanted to give independence to rebels without thinking that they are practical people who can be very cruel to Jaffna Indo- Germanic people.
He might have thought that all sinhalese are managerials and all Tamils are practicals which is not true.
I want people to change their views to ethnic problem and accept young leaders who like to understand Tamils’ way of living and try to integreate them with Sinhalese.
Greed,selfishness,exploitation and Survival fight are human nature.
These are unconscious impulses.
But we have to find a compromised way to live together without hurting eachother for survival.
Shelvi, why are only addressing all your comments to Namal…
Do you think, he will be the next king of the Sri Lankan Morachy…. Based on the recent devlopments in the country you are not too far off, but I will not call him a King, rather a ruthless dictator…
Hello Namal,
Srilanka belongs to all ethnic groups. Srilanka is not a sinhala buddist country. Srilanka belongs to Sinhalese , Tamils , Muslims and other ethnic groups. Srilanka belongs to everyone who are born in Srilanka according to deep psychology.
All of us have to think again scientifically instead of going for primitive impulses like aggression.
You have be a model person to show the ideal way to the primitive people.
I would rather forgive the persident for his part of the killing of Tamils because he could not tolerate the killing of innocent Tamils , sinhalese and other ethnic groups.
Tamils have to take political action to win their rights and managerial world instead of killing others to show their powerfulness and Dominance.
Humsn beings are if they are shown the right way and guided in the right way.
BE good and show the people the right way.YOU WILL BE THE BEST POLITICIAN.
Hello Namal,
BE brave to say Tamils that you would like to unite the country and achieve more than being separated and losing competitiveness. Be brave to say sorry to the past and move forward. BE brave to say Tamils that you like them. BE brave to apologise rebels who wanted their identity accepted and respected by ethnic groups.
BE brave to accept people with mistakes. Be brave to forgive selfish people.
Be brave to accept people when they come back.
Be brave to develop the country and share the wealth.
Be brave to lose your survival fight and sacrifice yourself to the country.
Be brave to see human nature as god’s naure and overcome dominance by education.
Well done Namal. Please look after Tamils by giving importance to their Language, Religion and culture. Give them good Education in languages and sciences. Allow them to go universities under fair examination system and develop the country so that every one can acutualize their potential and be in the managerial world.
Do not allow any one to exploit others which is the basic factor for civil war.
Love Tamils because they are your complementary.
You will be successful politicians.
You will be loved as rebels who wanted to have their forfathers identity glorified.
Hello Namal,
I like united Srilanka with Democracy and winning approach where we all can work for a best place in the universe.
These Jaffna Tamils who think they are superior in their intellectual ability are unable to advance in an advanced environmemt leaving their primitiveness behind. I do not really why these highly educated intellectuals behave very selfishly only for their prosperity leaving their own community and the foreign government behind. These are economic refugees who strive for breeding their potential try to destroy our country by supporting terroist groups who are really uneducated and have nothing to do with ‘Sinhala only’ or standardization.
Hello Namal, When are you going to show Tamil community that Sinhalese are really willing co -oprate with Tamils to their Advancement? These people are still dominant. Education and European way of thinking do not influence these people to see ethnic conflict in different angle.
I would like say once again here I am willing to work with Sinhalese if they accept and respect me the way I am.
Human consciousness is not perfect. Humans are developing themselves from animalhood to divine nature. People make mistakes. They are forgiven by father, son and holy spirit when they really realize their mistake and plead forgiveness for it. Religion is a deep- psychological experience. This is christianity.
Hinduism tells that human has to learn from every experience. If they they do not learn from their experience they will go through other party’s suffering to understand other party’s emotions and learn from it.
Life is a learning process. Universal self wants us to learn from the war that all ethnic groups in Srilanka has to respect each other, support each other stay together without losing their integrity for freedom, self-determination and self-empowerment.
Srilanka has to be developed economically and intellectually. Everyone has pass at least their ordinary levels. Everyone has pass english, maths, psychology and sociology in their ordinary levels.
Psychological and sociological knowledge has to beapplied in daily life.People should be able to understand their mistakes and change their paradigm towards progress.
When we have the best inherent potential we have to direct it in the right way so that we can become the best in the world.
Before wemake progress we have to pray for people who lost their life in civil war irrespective of whether they are terroists or government troops.
When humans have more aggression and higher social status they may show dominance towards weak humans. They may critise weak people sharply . But there has to be grace in human heart to forgive people when they realise their mistakes.
Jesus was the best managerial in the universe. He forgave people’s mistakes so that they can forgive themselves and others and integrate themselves from within
If we want to be the best people in the world we have to forgive each other irrespective of ethnic groups and reconcile again.
We will the best in the world.
Young people are not corrupted by revange and Greed. He has to forgive all young rebels who wanted to have a state where they could be the way they were so that they woulds not be enslaved by powerful majority. Competition and natural selection are quality of Nature. But Educated young people have to show sympathy and compassion so that everyone can have their fair share.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Well Done.
I have a dream…..one day we will get rid of Dynasties and give the power to the people !
(I grew up watching Bandaranayke and Senanayake dynasties destoyed the country while theire families and goons got rich….and now Rajapakse building their dynasti..Same load of crap different name.)
Sri Lanka is the most beautiful country in the world. It would be perfect if we had some honest leaders!
