The situation grew up to such an intensity that the English imprisoned him at the outset of 1818 insurgency and sent him into exile in the island of Mauritius where he enjoyed a comfortable life with slaves and attendants in a fully equipped house. It is said that he was popular with natives of Mauritius as an exiled Sri Lankan Prince, but later he was afflicted with dysentery owing to the insupportable temperature in the island.

It is painful to note that he had allocated money to have a monument built where he was to be buried and he had kept Vicars fully informed of his wish. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"> In response to his last wish, Richard Vicars has sent a written request to English governor in Sri Lanka, Edward Barnes for permission to build a monument where Ehelepola Adikarama was buried in Mauritius and Edward Barnes has given his complete consent to it. The government of Mauritius has declared the monument in commemoration of Ehelepola Adikarama, as a State protected archaeological site. Ehelepola Adikarama, who had attitudes with strong patriotic overtones, had to breathe his last in exile just like Pilimathalawe who fought tooth and nail for the independence of the nation. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> </p><p></p><p></p><p><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-grwnGKhi0lM/SACa4zd4rKI/AAAAAAAAEhk/OTuvd-w-Atw/s640/02012008581.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p></p><p>This is the area where Ehelepola lived and he named many places similer to Sri Lanka name</p><p></p><p><img src="http://mauritiusattractions.com/content/images/Mauritius_Island_south_west_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p></p><p><img src="http://www.mauritius-united-properties.com/golf_mauritius.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p></p><p>Mauritius</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong><span style="color: Green">මේකත් කියවෙලා බලන්නකෝ . </span></strong></p><p></p><p><a href="http://chilowcity.blogspot.fr/2009/08/blog-post_31.html" target="_blank">http://chilowcity.blogspot.fr/2009/08/blog-post_31.html</a></p><p><span style="color: Red"><strong>මචන් ඒ කියපු ගැනී කවුද ? </strong><span style="color: Green">මන් හිතනේ දින්ගිරිය family එකෙන් එන කවරු හරි කියලි.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><span style="color: Green">_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</span></span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><span style="color: Green"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><span style="color: Green"></span></span>මර්ෂස් සමුහාණ්ඩුව නිරිත ඉන්දියානු සාගරයේ අප්රිකානු මහාද්විපයේ ඈතින් පිහිටි දුපත් රාජ්යයකි. එය මැඩගස්කර් දුපතට කි.මී. 900 (සැතැප්ම 560) ඈතින් පිහිටා ඇත. මර්ෂස් දුපත හැර මෙම සමුහාණ්ඩුව නාගඩෝස් තණජෝස්, රොඩ්රිගුස් සහ ඇගලේගා දුපත් අයත්ය. මර්ෂස්, මැස්තරයෙහි දුපත්වල කොටසක් වන අතර ප්රංශ දුපතක් වන රියුනියන් කි. මී. 200 (සැතපුම් 120) නිරිතට සහ රොඩ්රිගුස් දුපතට කි.මී. 570 (සැතපුම් 350) ඊසාන දෙසින් පිහිටි දුපතක් වේ. 17 වන ශතවර්ෂය වනතුරු ජනාවාස නොවී තිබු බවට වාර්තා වේ. පළමුව දුපත ඕලන්දයන් විසින් පාලනය කළ අතර, ඊට පසු ප්රංශ ජාතිකයින් එය ඕලන්දයන් අතහැර දැමු පසු පාලනය කළහ. නැපෝලියොනින් යුද සමයේ බ්රිතාන්යයින් පාලනයට ගත් අතර 1968 වසරේ දී මර්ෂස් බ්රිතාන්යයෙන් නිදහස ලැබීය. මෙම රට පාර්ලිමේන්තු සමුහාණ්ඩුවන් වන අතර එය දකුණු අප්රිකානු සංවර්ධන සංගමය, නැගෙනහිර දකුණ අප්රිකා පොදු වෙළඳ සංගමය, අප්රිකානු සංගමය හා පොදු රාජ්ය මණ්ඩලයේ සාමාජිකයෙකි. ප්රධාන භාෂාව වන්නේමර්ෂියන් ත්රිගෝල්, ප්රංශ සහ ඉංග්රීසීය. ඉංග්රීසී එකම නිල භාෂාව වන අතර පුවත්පත් හා රූපවාහිනි වැඩසටහන් විකශය වන්නේ ප්රංශ භාෂාවෙනි. ජනගහනයෙන් බහුතරයක් ඉන්දියන් වන අතර අප්රිකානු පෙලපතින් එන ජාතීන් යුරෝපියානුවන් සහ සුළුතරයක් චීන ජාතිකයන් ද සිටිති. හින්දු ආගම විශාලම ආගම ලෙස ඇති එකම අප්රිකානු රට වන අතර ක්රිස්තියානි හා ඉස්ලාම් ද අදහයි. ඩොඩෝ පක්ෂියාගේ එකම නිවහන ලෙස මර්ෂස්ගේ දුපත නම් දරා ඇත. යුරෝපියානුවන් විසින් 1600 වර්ෂයේ දී මෙම පක්ෂියා මුලින් දැක ඇති අතර පක්ෂියා ඊට අවුරුදු 8 පසු සදහටම වඳ වී ගියේය. මර්ෂශ්, තුර්නිය හා ප්රොඒශියා හා සමානව සංවර්ධිත රටක් ලෙස සැලකේ.</p><p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=dodo+birrd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=668&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=hEFoT_e4HMLO0QWUrJCXCQ#um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Mauritius+people&oq=Mauritius+people&aq=f&aqi=g4g-S3g-mS1&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=25532l28079l0l28206l8l8l0l0l0l0l87l601l8l8l0&gs_l=img.3..0l4j0i24l3j0i5i24.25532l28079l0l28206l8l8l0l0l0l0l87l601l8l8l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=8edca7d66b18a2e1&biw=1280&bih=668" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=dodo+birrd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=668&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=hEFoT_e4HMLO0QWUrJCXCQ#um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Mauritius+people&oq=Mauritius+people&aq=f&aqi=g4g-S3g-mS1&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=25532l28079l0l28206l8l8l0l0l0l0l87l601l8l8l0&gs_l=img.3..0l4j0i24l3j0i5i24.25532l28079l0l28206l8l8l0l0l0l0l87l601l8l8l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=8edca7d66b18a2e1&biw=1280&bih=668</a></p><p></p><p>Ehelepols son Madduma Bandara</p><p><img src="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/89/247494448_7fabd7becc_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>

[/FONT][FONT="][SIZE=4]Although Ehelepola helped the British to oust the despot king the British were always suspicious of him because he was very clever. They thought that after ousting the king he might try to oust the British from Kandy and become King. Ehelepola had all the qualifications and the intellect to be the king but the British were not even willing to make him the Sub King.[/SIZE][/FONT][/B][SIZE=4] [B]The English flagrantly ignored most of their pledges stipulated in 1815 Pact contrary to all expectations of common people and Ehelepola who was by now an emotional wreck. the famous Ehelepola Kumarihami and Madduma Bandara tragedy and the despairing response of British government to his demands for leadership in Kandy reduced him to nothing. The situation grew up to such an intensity that the English imprisoned him at the outset of 1818 insurgency and sent him into exile in the island of Mauritius where he enjoyed a comfortable life with slaves and attendants in a fully equipped house. It is said that he was popular with natives of Mauritius as an exiled Sri Lankan Prince, but later he was afflicted with dysentery owing to the insupportable temperature in the island. The army officer, Richard Vicars who was in charge of Kandyan prisoners in Mauritius made a fruitless appeal to declare his last will because Ehelepola was declining daily with fragile health.[/B] [/SIZE] [FONT="] [/FONT] [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GAakv4oJmPA/Spu4MUHOfCI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/uufwIlk65mU/s1600/je2.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=3]Richard Vicars reported that Ehelepola succumbed to worsened dysentery on the 4th Saturday 1829 and as Vicars reported, he was in full spirits up to the point of death. His funeral, performed to Sinhala fashion, was attended by Kandyan prisoners and governor of Mauritius. It is painful to note that he had allocated money to have a monument built where he was to be buried and he had kept Vicars fully informed of his wish. In response to his last wish, Richard Vicars has sent a written request to English governor in Sri Lanka, Edward Barnes for permission to build a monument where Ehelepola Adikarama was buried in Mauritius and Edward Barnes has given his complete consent to it. The government of Mauritius has declared the monument in commemoration of Ehelepola Adikarama, as a State protected archaeological site. Ehelepola Adikarama, who had attitudes with strong patriotic overtones, had to breathe his last in exile just like Pilimathalawe who fought tooth and nail for the independence of the nation.
