‘Sinhala Only’ was the right policy”-Endorsing the views of Hugh
Karunanayake.
Posted on January 2nd, 2018
*By M D P DISSANAYAKE*
It is only Sri lanka that can protect and advance Sinhala language, its
associated culture and heritage. India can look after Tamil language. Mr
SWRD, though in power for relatively short period of time, made the change
to place Sri Lanka at the highest place. Those who disagree with this
policy, please go through the final examination results of BA. BSc. MSc.
Phd., Chartered Accountants, Surveyors, Lawyers, Doctors., you can find for
yourself until SWRD came into power, almost 85% of the lists of finalists
were: Arsekularatnam, Argumugam, Annamuththu, Arunachalam,Balendran,
Balachandran, Balakrishnan, Chenniah, Vigneswaran, etc. the endless lists
from A to Z of Tamils.
Higher Education was confined to Tamils. Through systematic elimatination,
those who progressed up the ladder were Tamils or those with Sinhala names,
but puppets of Tamils or Muslims. Lets see the First Cabinet of Sri Lanka:
D S SENANAYAKE
H W AMARASURIYA
SWRD BANDARANAIKE
GEORGE E DE SILVA
A E GUNATILLEKE
SIR OLIVER GUNATILEKE
SENARAT GUNAWARDENE
T B JAYAH
J R JAYAWARDENE
JOHN KOTALAWELA
A E NUGAWELA
G G PONNAMBALAM
LALITHA RAJAPAKSE
A RATNAYAKE
DUDLEY SENANAYAKE
C SITTAMPALAM
C SUNDARALINGAM
EDWIN WIJERATNE
When SWRD formed MEP to make Sinhala Official Language, none of these upper
class were his comrades.
The 1952 cabinet of Mr Dudley Senanayake continued with:
EDWIN WIJERARATNE
C SITTAMPALAM
G G PONNAMBALAM, but added:
1. NADESAN
V NALLIAH
M C M KALEEL
Mr SWRD did not hesitate to eliminate Tamil domination from the Cabinet, he
only had C A S Marikar, a Muslim as a minister., but brought in
those who fought for Sri Lanka and Sinhala Language for the past several
years, including Greats such as:
PHILIP GUNAWARDENE
P H WILLIAM DE SILVA
W DAHANAYAKE
T B ILLANGARATNE.
The foundation laid down by SWRD in 1956 had produced encouraging results,
whereby boys and girls of schools and colleges throughout the island are
not advancing to the University education. This disliked by Tamils such as
Sambandam and Sinhala cronies like Ranil Wickremasinghe, Chandrika.
Chandrika is already eliminated from the political map of Sri Lanka, other
remaining anti Sri Lankan cronies will have their days numbered.
*Sinhala and English ought to be Official Languages of Sri Lanka with
National Language status for Tamil in North and East. This policy should
be given highest priority in its implementation to ensure the pride of
place for Sinhalese. *

I agree.
Only 4% of the population could speak English in 1956. It was ridiculous
to continue English Only in 1956. All stable democracies recognise their
majority’s language as the only (emphasised) official language. However,
today, English is understood by more people and it deserves to be an
official language.
Tamil Nadu language must be recognised as the sole language of the north
and one of 3 languages in the east.
Sri Lanka is the only country that recognises Tamil Nadu language as an
official language and Tamil as a disticnt ethnic group – a very dangerous
combination.

We;; well “Kohedha Yanne Nangi, Malli? Malle Pol”
Most of our Sinhala educated Nangis are slavering in Muslim countries
and we barely live off the takings.
The Indian Colonial Parasites are becoming and has become wealthier
since 1956.
Thanks to SWRG and his henchmen financed by Indian Colonial Parasite
business men and women.
Most of the money the Nangis sent us end up in India on gold jewllery,
sarees, three wheelers and Battas, building material, Thosai and Wades and
of course on Vettis.
Why did this great cunning and shrewd man SWRD got his kids English
educated while the masses were deprived of similar education?
Why did this man only nationalize Sinhala businesses?

Another rare good one form MDP which I agree 100%.
*The consequece of the first paragraph is “why TAMIL DO HATE SINGALAM
Part 1 to part infinity”.*
This is also called discrimination,…… to genocide.
Nothing more nothing less.
Please go back to the examination pass list names appeared before 1973,
no need to go back to 1948. if form today the percentage of Tamil names
appear is the same are pre 1974, then we have achieved RECONCILLATION (by
whoever started to make in non-political).
Otherwise it will be GENOCIDE, until that list comes back again.
This is why, for 20 years we should have FONSEKA’s rule for the North (
as they voted him anyway). Then the real reconcilliation if possible.

@Christie
Had English only continued, they may not even live or be working as
prostitutes for Indians. Communist insurgents would have succeeded and Sri
Lanka would have ended up like North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba or Burma (without
their industries). Their first target for murder, nationalisation,
confiscation, sexual assault, etc. would have been English fluent people.
JVP insurrections failed because most people found they could deal with
the government despite failures. The governing ‘elite’ was not as alien as
prior to 1956.
Don’t forget over 80% of the people voted for Sinhala Only (SLFP and
UNP). Old communists that opposed it could not even find candidates to
contest.

I know the people who benefited from the Sinhala only was the lower
middle class of Sinhalese who had a standard of living above the majority
of the other like lower level government servants. They knew a bit of
Sinhala and bit of English and they made money doing translations .
As soon as Banda came in he stopped the Sinhala settlements in the Dry
Zone and elsewhere. Most of the developments and Industrialization was
stopped. Central schools were destroyed.
By the was Most some of our Nangis are prostitutes in the Middle East
and they serve Male Indian workers from India. In doing so they end up
loosing their kidneys .
Your great Sihala heros were funded by the Indian Cabal; Tamils,
Keralayans, Paresis, Boras and Sindhis.
This Indian Cabal had particular members to paired to finance the
Sinhala hero politicians.
Banda_ Hidarmains and Kundanmals
Illangaratne: Hidramanis. Guess who financed his Films?
Phillip – Gnanams
N M Perera- Captains
The whole SLFP is an Indian and Indian Colonial Parasites project. They
decided the winning formula. Sinhala only was one of the elements.
Chandirika tells the story of her father. At least she is open about it.
Remember Dhanayaka contested with 100 candidates who was financed again
by the Indian Colonial Parasites.
Communist insurgents the JVP is another Indian terrorist arm financed by
India. It started with S D Bandaranayake with North Korea and was hijacked
by Indian interests. Eswarans were a leadin financier. India managed to
kill fair number of Sinhalese. Socialists like Shanmugadhasan, Bala Tampoe
were the Gurus.
