Gamini Kularatne
Gamini Kularatne PWV , SLSR (S/34553)
( Sinhala : 4 September
1966 – 14 July 1991) (commonly known as
Hasalaka Gamini or Hasalaka Hero ) was a Sri
Lankan soldier. He was the first recipient of
the Parama Weera Vibhushanaya , the highest
award for gallantry awarded by the Sri Lanka
Army .
Early life
Gamini Kularatne was the second son of a
family of four brothers and a sister. He
obtained his primary education at Ranasinghe
Premadasa Madhya Maha Vidyalaya at
Hasalaka (farming hamlet in the salubrious
Kandy District of Sri Lanka). He was a survivor
of the Aranthalawa Massacre on 2 June 1987
as Mahiyangane Dhammajothi Thero.[1] After
seeing the brutality of the Tiger terrorist
massacre he pleaded with the chief Thero and
left robes to join the Sri Lanka Army on 27
August 1987 with the blessings of his father
S.G Babanis and mother S.G Juliet.
Supreme Sacrifice
On the night of 10 July 1991 over 5000 LTTE
cadres surrounded the 600 strong army
garrison located at Elephant Pass,Pass was
known as the gateway to the northern Jaffna
Peninsula . Enlisted to the Sri Lankan Army
Sinha Regiment Sixth Battalion as a Rifleman,
Lance Corporal Gamini Kularatne, along with
the rest of his regiment, was tasked with
watching for possible LTTE infiltrators.
As dusk fell the LTTE cadres launched several
human wave attacks. Flanked by hundreds of
their armed cadres, they surrounded the
Army's fortifications. But the sight of a
hitherto unknown armored bulldozer looking
like a huge tank sent shock waves among
soldiers at all sentry points as the huge
bulldozer tank was a mystery to all on guard.
Equipped with a machine gun atop it and
containing a haul of arms and ammunitions
inside it rumbled towards the southern
entrance of the camp and Lance Corporal
Kularatne in his pensive mood thought this
new rolling weapon would definitely be able to
swarm the garrison within seconds taking a
heavy toll of his fellowmen. Above all the fall
of Elephant Pass to the enemy would be
catastrophic and counterproductive at national
level, and there was hardly any time to waste,
Kularatne pondered.
Although the LTTE began pounding the Army
camp with heavy mortars and weapons to the
cries of injured and dying soldiers amidst
deafening explosions, all eyes were still
centered on the enemy's approaching
mysterious bulldozer laden with sophisticated
weapons.
Suddenly Lance Corporal Kularatne, holding
two grenades in his hands, dashed out towards
the oncoming bulldozer tank, clambered up the
tank's ladder and tossed the two grenades
inside it, disregarding the numerous injuries he
himself had suffered by then from the bullets
of LTTE. Within seconds, fiery bursts of fire
accompanied by a series of explosions
occurred. Lance Corporal Gamini Kularatne
was flung to the ground lay motionless.
Thus the siege of Elephant Pass Army Camp
was broken and one of the most ferocious
battles in Sri Lanka's modern history ended.
The camp was finally saved from the LTTE.
Lance Corporal Kularatne's supreme sacrifice,
dedicated for the sake of Sri Lanka's territorial
integrity and sovereignty was well received
with admiration and honor by all segments of
masses across the island.
In recognition of his act of gallantry Lance
Corporal Gamini Kularatne was promoted to
the rank of Corporal posthumously and
honored with the award of " Parama Weera
Vibhushanaya " on 10 October 1991, the
highest gallantry award in Sri Lanka for the
first time in the history of Sri Lanka Army.
Later he came to be known as the Hasalaka
Weeraya (Hasalaka Hero)
Corporal Gamini Kularatne's valiant action
marks a milestone in the annals of military
gallantry. No doubt, the nation salutes this
valiant soldier as long as they could breathe.
He also leaves an indelible memory of
patriotism and valor not only in the minds of
his own countrymen but also among millions
of Sri Lankans whose today is sacrificed for
the sake of tomorrow's betterment.
Memorial
The Memorial to Gamini in Elephant
Pass
A memorial to Corporal Gamini was later set
up in elephant pass with the remains of very
bulldozer he destroyed, after the war was over.
This can be seen on the A9 road on the way to
Jaffna. The Sri Lankan Baila singer Dhanapala
Udawatta sang "Hasalaka Gamini" a song
tribute to the famous war hero.
