B-CPact- folowing Roits and Genocide in 1958

Mr. S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, the leader of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, became Prime Minister in June 1956, after winning the General Elections. The following demands were made to the new Prime Minister by the Tamil federal party:
1. Federal Constitution
2. Parity of Status for Tamil and Sinhala languages;
3. Repeal of citizenship laws which had discriminated against Tamils of Indian descent;
4. Immediate halt to the colonisation of the Tamil homelOn 26 July 1957, an agreement was
On 26 July 1957, an agreement was entered into between Mr.S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, Prime Minister of Ceylon and Mr.S.J.V. Chelvanayagam, Leader of the Thamil Arasu Katchi (Federal Party) - the Bandaranaike Chelvanayakam Pact.
The agreement was repudiated by Mr. Bandaranaike in April 1958 in view of a campaign led by the Buddhist clergy and sections of the Sinhala political leadership.

In May and June 1958, was the outcome of that funda¬mental error there were a huge violence had been made against the Tamil people in capital and any part of the country. Gangs of hoodlums made assaults on whom they fine as the Tamil, Genocide were made in 1958 in Srilanka. Incalculable people were assassinated and many made in to as refugee in to the country. The elementary duty of a Government is to afford protection to its subjects, at moment the Srilankan Government failed to afford that protection, negatively they who were in to the government bodies, encourage the riots in order to gain the cheapest political benefits.

Thisis part of Speech delivered during the course of the debate on the "State of Emergency" in1958 june by a Tamil member of parliament.
“…. We are willing to go. Every Tamil man, woman and child is willing to go...We do not want language rights from you. We will look after our language..... Please have Sinhalese only. No Tamil worthy of his name is ever going to study the Sinhalese language. You have stamped it out... We only want the right to live in our areas. We want the right to be able to walk the streets without being molested….”

Here we can realize the fundamental arisen of the concept, “separatism”.

The primary violence against the peace

Because of the injustice against the Tamil people by this (singala only act) they wanted to protest against the imposition of the law. The Members of the Tamil Federal Party said that they would sit in silence on the Galle Face Green(place in front of parliament), a silent protest which they were entitled to make. Chelvanayakam, the leader of the Federal Party, led a party of 300 Tamil volunteers and staged a sit down Satyagraha (peaceful protest) of the kind popularized by “Mahatma Gandhi” in the days of the Indian freedom struggle. Its notable, itwas happened after 8 years from the independence of Srilanka.

On that day Sinhala Only Bill was being debated in Parliament, the police were all around but allowed the Satyagrahis to be beaten up... Some Tamil Satyagrahis were thrown into Beira Lake near the Parliament House. From that moment every Tamil seen on roads of Colombo (capital of srilanka) was attacked by the singala hooligans. Tamil office employees going home from work in public transport were caught and man-handled. Tamils had to stay indoors for personal safety for days on end. Sinhalese hooligans took charge of the situation and went on a rampage of arson and looting of Tamil shops and homes. The violence were seting off by the government and actively supported by the Sinhalese organisations and Bhikkus (Buddhist priests) to frighten Tamils into accepting the 'Sinhala Only' Act.

The violence and rioting spread to Gal Oya and Amparai where, under an irrigation and re-settlement scheme, thousands of Sinhalese had been resettled in clusters around thinly distributed Tamil villages in the Eastern province. In the race riots in 1956, 150 people died. They included many Tamil women and children. That was the primary struggle which marked the beginning of the Tamil struggle for self-rule

The Sinhala Only Act

With the exodus of the British in 1948, the re emergence of a separate Tamil national identity was eliminated by the actions of a Sinhala majority who got the power from the British colonist, They regarded the island of Sri Lanka as the exclusive home of Sinhala Buddhism and the Tamil people as `outsiders' who were to be subjugated and assimilated within the confines of an unitary Sinhala Buddhist state. The Sinhala Only Act (formally the Official Language Act) was a law passed in the Sri Lankan parliament in 1956.The enhancement of the law that after the 8 years from the independence, on that we can say as a highlight-able political mistake which done by the pre-government of the srilanka which had most members from the singala majority. At the time they forced Sinhalese as the sole state language for official purposes. They said that law for, just gained independence to distance themselves from their colonial masters. However the hidden aim was the assassination of Tamil language. But they were not remembering about that the north and the east part of Srilanka(cylon) natively inhabited by the “Tamil” speaking people. There was grave and irreparable injustice was done to the minority who speaking Tamil language as mother tongue. They never think about the possibility of protest and even may decide to break away from the rest of the country. We the singala government headed by the S.W.R.D Bandaranayake, made an effort to accumulate the Tamil identity in to one. That is Srilanka as a Singala, buddist country. There was a rise of racism followed as fundamentalism.

The privious political history and the mistakes

The early political history of the Srilanka in the centuries before the beginning of the European imperialism is highly related records of the rise and fall of individual kingdoms among the races who are the ancients of the srilanka. When the Portuguese arriverd on the island in 1505 there was not one but three kingdoms in srilanka,the Tamil Jaffna Kingdom, the Sinhala Kotte Kingdom and the Sinhala Kandyan Kingdom. The tamil sovereignty were extended to the north and the eas partst of the srilanka that is a about 5 centuries ago. They had a strong kingdom for the many centuries, and kept the relationship with the Indian kings who ruled , The “mahavamsa” which is the singala historical-book , accepts that clearly. Srilanka had been under the colonist for about 5 centuries, The Jaffna Kingdom was captured by the Portuguese when the king of Jaffna was defeated in 1619. The Portuguese ruled the Jaffna Kingdom from 1619 to 1658. The Dutch who captured the Jaffna Kingdom from the Portuguese ruled till 1795 and the British until 1948.

They made the historical mistake when they left from the country, they had given the power of state to entirely to the singaleese. Tamils discriminated by them, that was the foundation for the entire problems now going on in Srilanka.

Pre-history

The island known as Srilanka is about 25,000 square miles in extent, situated about twenty miles from the southern extremity of the Indian sub - continent. About one fifth of the island's population of 17 million, are Tamils and somewhat less than three quarters are Sinhalese. The Tamils reside largely in the north and the east and on the plantations in the central hills, whilst the Sinhalese reside in the south, west and in the centre as well. The area of the Tamil homeland in the north-east is around 7,500 square miles. A large number of Tamils are Hindus, some are Christians and the overwhelming majority of the Sinhala people are Buddhists
Here I want to analyze that “who are the first people in Srilanka or who are the ancient one.?”. According to the geographical evidences the geologists’ archeologists’ statements in the very old period Srilanka was part of the india It was join with Indian subcontinent. We can prove it form the land shaps.there is 'land bridge’ between the mannar bay and the raameswaram india. Still we can about to join the srilankan map with the india . We can see the same features in the both side in the plants and soil. The plant and animal life in the island evidence the earlier land connection with the Indian sub continent. In a cultural view we able to see the people who speak same language from the both sides, and they are following exactly same culture, they have similar body structure and the physical features.
Srilanka was separated from the India as Island. Geographically that is possible, the phenomenon is known as “continental drift” and the process has been going on for hundreds of millions of years-- at rates measured in only a few centimeters per year. http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/continents.htmlHere I’m coming to say that because of the people have same features who live in south in india and north of the srilanka both are known as tamils, Tamils are the origins of the srilanka. We can say they are highly ancient people there.
People all may heard about the “Ramayanam” that is a famous epic in india, explains a story of war between Rama and Ravanaa. Even Ravana has a negative character in this story we must concider he is a Tamil Hindu king for the whole lanka . If we assume ramayanam is base on a ture story We must accept that Tamils are the ancient people of srilanka who had sovereignty before more than million years. We can say Tamils are the origins of the may be part of the srilanka They were not migrated from any other places of the world.
Unlike that The Sinhala people trace their origins in the island to the arrival of Prince Vijaya from India, around 500 B.C. and the Mahavamsa, the Sinhala chronicle of a later period (6th Century A.D.) records that Prince Vijaya arrived on the island on the same day that the Buddha attained Enlightenment in India.Vijaya come here and married Kuveni then the race of Singala was rised. We can look at the same features in singalise's culture and other things. Its notable the language "singala' is base from the "Pali" language.

Here I'm not want to prove the tamil are the origins of the Srilanka.Just I want to analize;who might be the first people of the srilanka.

What's up readers..?

"What’s up liberty" Well,by this blog I want to Wright regards a true struggle for the "liberty" in srilanka which is a small island country, Situated in southern Asia exactly beside to india.Many of the people know about the local war now seriously going on in Srilanka.It has been enduring for more than 30 years. However the peole don't exactly know about that "What is the basis for the struggle?" in this beautiful island. There is only two main racial groups could not be living with unity. Many generations have been lost the harmony. I just wanna say what is the reason for this current situation, and is it Reasonable the protest by the tamils for the liberty? That is the separatism being asked by the Tamil people. I going to make to know my readers about what happened in the prehistory of Srilanka?why people started to move violently? What is happening now. Why can’t solve the problem. Is it possible solving in future? I want to simply wright my point of view from the midpoint. Liberty, in modern era, is generally considered a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual or group has the ability to act according to the own will. When liberty is being kept away from them by the dominant powers unreasonably there would be raising a protest for the libration, we see from the narrations. That’s what happened in the Srilanka. Citizens of all religions and ethnic groups in a country have to have same freedom. When it becomes false there we can see the concentration for the freedom.
