We kept muslim refugees from Myanmar in different location with our security, but why someone is trying to settle those refugees from Pakistan in a totally remote location? doesn't it make doubts? I don't mind helping asylum seekers but it should happen in proper way.

It is happening in a proper way. They are pakistanis of christian or ahamaddiya faith. These are prosecuted ppl who need our help. Also they would be going to Canada and SL is only a temporary place. Some racists in SL are making a mountain out of mole. Dont think people can come and stay in SL without going under SL defence radars. This is a modern world with immigration control.

And those muslim ministers you talk about are actually Mahinda's men. They are doing a government project.

Good that you understand that Mattala incident was bad. there is a difference between supporting one's country and supporting a political paarty. MR is stupid and giving ammunitions to the very people against him and the country

Sri Lanka's catholic church with UN assistance is helping these people. These people need our help not resistance.

Pls read credible sources of information not racist junk of third class Sinhalese print media.. Those are UNHCR deemed refugees.. And they are awaiting repatriation to third countries via Sri Lanka.. SL is not a signatory to host UNHRC refugees so there is no question of them settling down there.. SL seems to be the closest safe country for those persecuted people to come to till their cases are finalized.. The third class crap you posted is nothing but fear mongering by gutter journalists.. No wonder there is a growing support for racist thugs like the BBS among semi literate village idiots who are brain washed by these crap

@Saradiel .. Mate i was not very familiar with the Sinhala print media till today but after what you highlighted i'm simply dumbfounded at some of the contents and the context of these broad sheets!! Haven't these morons learnt anything after 30 years of devastation ??

Can anyone explain why Sri Lankas speak indo-aryan language instead of dravidian? When did indo-aryan migrated there?

The majority community Sinhalese are thought to have migrated from Eastern( Bengali, Orissa) and North Western (Gujarat, Punjab) areas of the subcontinent.. According to legend Mahavamsa (Great Chronicle of the Sinhalese) they are the descendants of the exiled Prince Vijaya who arrived from East India to Sri Lanka in 543 BCE

Some references in Mahavamsa to times before Vijaya, indicate the Sinhalese are actually descendants of earlier inhabitants of Sri Lanka; (Raksha, Yaksha, Deva and Naga) who intermixed with Vijaya and the other Aryan invaders from India

Close to 17% of the population of Sri Lanka also speak Tamil.. A Dravidian language

Sinhala buddhists' bible is not mahavamsa but pali canon. The reason you people hold onto mahavamsa is because you have no other choice.

'You people' - that's being presumptuous , to Neo Nazi Sinhala Buddhists Mahavamsa is history, religious text and nationalism

"The myth of 'Lion ancestry' & adults-only tales of the Lala land." | Asian Tribune

Over the years, Sinhala Buddhist nationalistic politicians and closely linked Buddhist clergy have been successful in implanting the belief that the Sinhala Buddhists are the ‘chosen people’ and the real custodians of Sri Lanka and of Theravada Buddhism. This, many Sinhala Buddhists believe, is their ‘birth right’ by virtue of the origin of their ethnicity as depicted by the Mahavamsa. According to many Sinhala speaking Buddhists, their birthright to the ‘custodianship’ of the island and Buddhism is sacred and unquestionably legitimised for eternity by the Mahavamsa.

Neo Nazi Sinhala Buddhist politicians talk and walk the Mahavamsa myth

“The link between the Sinhala race and Buddhism is so close and inseparable that it had led to the maxim, "There is no Buddhism without the Sinhalese and no Sinhalese without Buddhism." This is an undeniable fact.

The literature of the Sinhalese is Buddhist literature. The history of the Sinhalese is the history of Buddhism.”

Those were the words printed in a pamphlet published and distributed free in 1982 by Mr. Cyril Matthew a former senior minister in Mr. J.R. Jayawardena’s Government, the main architect of the Tamil genocide

what is wrong in sinhala people using pali? because racist tamils like you think had sinhalese didnt have effect from Pali they would have become tamil and tamil speakers.

Mahavamsa was written in Pali as there was no Sinhala language or script in 500 AD . Can you deny the influence and contribution of Pali and Tamil to Sinhala ?

Sinhala didnt origin from tamil speakers. Rather tamil and sinhala both originated from the same people going in two different directions.

tell what was the language of these people before going in 2 different directions ? The only group that has takennew identity are the Sinhalas, through religious conversion

even the die hard LTTE tamil racists dont say this.

The sinhala writings on the Sigiri that date to 8th century must be tamil then. The mahavams written in 5AD in sinhala letters must be tamil right?

The only one who is trying to erase sinhala culture in SL is you people.

theres no Sinhala script before 500 yrs , its Tamil Pallava Brahmi script which you are trying to pass off as SInhala .Sinhala script evolved from Tamil Pallava Brahmi script

It is a leading news paper in Sri Lanka! (ceylontoday is their English medium news paper.)

It is not like a whole Indo aryans migrated frm india, though there are stories like that.
1. SL is and more significantly was a location in Spice route and we had tradelink from all civilisation at that time. So connections were there.
2. Buddhism came to SL and that brought Pali language
3. Mahayana buddhism came to SL and brought Sanskrit
4. Possible immigrations from North India
5. 500 years of colonial rule.

Sinhala relates to both dravidian and indo aryan languages. The above factors impacted Sinhala formation along with contact with tamil and indigenous languages.

It is a leading news paper in Sri Lanka! (ceylontoday is their English medium news paper.)

Even leading newspapers in SL are cr@p. actually in SL by publishing cr@p stories a newspaper can be a leading newspaper. I remember this newspaper became popular by publishing fake ghost stories. and people bought it just to read the stories.

The language that gave birth to tamil and sinhala. I would call it Samil. so your problem is with sinhalas taking a new identity? they didnt take a new identity, their identity evolved in a different manner. it is this simple fact that eelamites like you dont want to accept. You think the only evolution path for Samil ---> Tamil. That is where you got wrong. It is the real neo nazi mentality.

Sinhala formation happen throughout the island. Even your forefathers spoke the then evolving sinhala langauge. During the 500 year chola invasion north was subject to language replacement. That is why you today speak Tamil and not what your ancestors spoke.

theres no Sinhala script before 500 yrs , its Tamil Pallava Brahmi script which you are trying to pass off as SInhala .Sinhala script evolved from Tamil Pallava Brahmi script

what is this Eelamite logic? read what you write and see the idiocy in it

Prof Wijeyanayake from London (like many other Sinhala scholars) wrote in the Sunday Observer of 17 November 1996

In the manner of Christian missionaries converting Buddhists and Hindus to Christianity in the 16th century A.D., Arahat Mahinda converted the Hindu King Devenampiya Tissa and his Hindu subjects (Tamils), to the Buddhist faith in 246 B.C. The vehicles of the Dhamma were the Pali and Sanskrit languages. Sinhala evolved through the intermingling of the Tamil, Pali and Sanskrit languages.

 

[Multani]

"Sinhalese" means just a name change of the people who lived in the island. It happened with the Vijaya's incident. 4 Hela groups got united then became "Sinhala".

Sinhala = Siv + Hela (Siv means 4, Hela means belong to island.)

Sri Lankan "Moor" is not an ethnic group.

Sri Lankan Muslims are 90% native to Sri Lanka, because they are converts to Islam from Sinhalese speaking Budhists (minority) and Tamil speaking hindus (the majority).

But they have intermixed with Arabs, Malaysians, Muslims from india and Burma

No one is certain what was kind of religious practice did the ancient Sinhalese before King Devenampiya Tissa followed. It is extremely unreasonable to assume that before King Devenampiya Tissa there was Hindu culture in Sri Lanka.

BTW according to your logic Veddhas must be Hindu also.

This is actually right. Without the help of Sinhalese there wouldn't have been Theravada cannon of Buddhism. It is a fact.

tell what was the language of these people before going in 2 different directions ? The only group that has takennew identity are the Sinhalas, through religious conversion

This is actually very illogical. If Sinhalese were Tamils before the arrival of Buddhism then it would have been much easier to use Tamil to propagate Buddhism rather than developing a whole new language.

You trying to imply that Tamils were prosecuted from the very day that Buddhism arrived to Sri Lanka.

theres no Sinhala script before 500 yrs , its Tamil Pallava Brahmi script which you are trying to pass off as SInhala .Sinhala script evolved from Tamil Pallava Brahmi script

Tamil Pallava? Does it need to be specifically Tamil?

It is an ethnic group in Sri Lanka officially! Malay muslims are another different group in here.

You might "not know" for your political convenience of Sinhala supremacy, the Kings had Tamil names e.g Dutu Gemunu's father's name was Kakka vannan Tissa (Tamil - crow colored Tissa) changed to Kavan Tissa by Mahanama in Mahavasma.

Duttu Gemunu, was a devotee of the Tamil God Murukan at Kataragama . In the Mahawamsa, Gemunu invoked the blessings of the Murukan to endow him with strength to defeat the Tamil King Elara in battle.

The fact they had original Tamil names , later changed to Sinhala, and a strong Hindu hereditary elements, attest to the fact that they were Tamil Hindus before their conversion to Sinhala Buddism.
