A less known fact about the Kandyan Convention 1815

[kukku baba]

This tread is for your cultural knowledge. not to debate on any other racist
grounds.

It`s a well known fact that the Kandyan Convention was signed by the Kandyan chieftans and the British, what is less well known is that some of the chieftains signed in Tamil. Ehelepola and Ratwatte(Great Grand father of President Chandrika Bandaranayake) signed in TAMIL. Pilimatalawe`s signature contained a mixture of Sinhala and Tamil letters as did the signatures of Dullawe and Millawe Disawas.

yeah probably cos the nayakkara clan who lead the kingdom were tamils of south Indian origin...so probably the official language was tamil

Or maybe these great people just faked their signatures.. Sudda doesnt know Sinhala or Tamil letters. this makes the Kandyan Convention 1815 Null and Void !!!

Maybe we can sue england for unlawful occupation ?

hmm yes machan , unfortunately, in 1815 නඩුත් සුද්දගෙ, නීතියත් සුද්දගෙ, බඩුත් සුද්දගෙ නෙ.

But i guess, now, in 2011, if there are any Sinhalese law specialists and historians who can investigate this:

• Authenticate the Sinhalese leaders' signs.. verify from other documents they might have signed. (මේ සිංහල නායක වරු පන්සල්, දේවාල වලට බොහොම දන් දීල තියෙනවා.. ඒ අය පන්සල් වල ඒ ලේඛන වල තමන්ගෙ දානයන් පිළිබන්දව සටහන් කරල අත්සන් කලේ සිංහලෙන්. අන්න ඒ පන්සල් වල ලේඛන පරීක්ශා කලා නම් අත්සන් සසඳන්න පුළුවන්)
  
• Verify suddhas' signatures to see if these are the correct ones they used in England to sign other documents.
  
• If there is any mismatch - give it wide publicity and demand a public apology from britain for unlawful takeover of a country.

I know it sounds a crazy idea.. but atleast we should investigate all possibilities to get at the invaders.

I think this was the case bacause tha nayakkar kings of Kandy were south indian in origin. Therefore the language of the rajasabhawa could have been tamil.
