BTW, must you type everything in huge letters ? we can see just fine.
Not quite. To the hill county sinhalese, anyone born south of Balangoda is a "paththaya"sri_lion said:True.. I'm not saying Sinhalese are totally out of it, the difference I see here is that Tamils are more centric and depend on caste system, Most Tamils are Hindus they grow up in that environment and Hinduism at the very root level divide people as Brahmin, Shasthiya, Vaishya... blah.. blah.. blah.. and then lastly the untouchables!
Compare that with Sinhalese its totally different, our problem is more towards status than a born caste problem, we are not born with it... we always invent it!!
Its a disgrace to Buddhism, Not just to that story. Yet there it is. Another example is the "Diyawadana Nilame" position at the Temple of tooth. There was a huge fuss when Niranjan Wijeratne managed to get that job. The cast and creed matters a hell of a lot there.sri_lion said:

and then there were *Sudda* given names and status in the early days... so there you go if Kandy was not enough reason then there was another one, and then came "Walau Palanthiya" and what not ) as if they cannot live without a caste!, but apart from all this there's the universal rich and poor issue this is a caste system on its own and the example you gave me about the repairman and the car owner could be an ideal situation for this, simply because the guy owns the car or drive it, everything else become irrelevant! , I dont knoe whther to call it a unique caste system because its everywhere kosandpol said:
The fact that the last few kings were Tamil seems to have been conveniently overlooked by everyone.sri_lion said:Yes this is what I said, we invent them, for example it was worse in the ancient times, upto until English colonial times... Kandy was highly regarded because Kandy was a stronghold of Sinhalese for centuries and it was the Final Kingdom to fall.. so there you go... there's one reason invented to discriminate
Is that something like mayonnaise ?call themselves "Ceylonese" (LMAO WTF is that?
Yeah! SL is not that bad. India is the capital of the cast woes.So yes! we are not completely out of it yet, but we are not the worst.. at least what we think is a caste does not effect us in day to day life, like in India do you remember once there was a BIG ISSUE while trying to grant university admission to low caste people?
I havent seen that in European countries and I hear its not there in USA/Canada as well.but apart from all this there's the universal rich and poor issue
That it is! a big steaming pile of it!
kosandpol said:so at the end of the day you're saying we need ot stick with casts ??

Yeah this is so true, just as the universal discrimination between the rich and poor the other facet of it is this... who ever you are the moment get down from a BEEMER caste goes out of the window! Gotta say that its some crafty monk who got inserted that rule to the then constitution. It maybe from that blood line JR hails from.sri_lion said:
To add to your story, SG cabbies wont accept tips. If there's even 10c change, they hand it back to you and refuse to take it as a tip.It's different story in Malaysia with cabbies!
Singapore is a different place its one of the least corrupted countries in terms of politics and all... going out of topic here a bit... my personal experience in Singapore, I was traveling from Malaysia and arrived at the Bus Station in SG and just bought a SIM card and stopped there to put the SIM into my phone, a young man approached me saying he wants to collect money for charity asked me to buy a small package includes 2 Cinema Tickets and a book for 20$ (as I remember) and I was busy doing something else for me at that time he was a nuisance so to chase him away I told him... how about you keep your stuff I'll give you $10
And then the boy said, no I can't, if you dont want to buy its OK! I felt embarrassed to the last cell in my body and the same time I felt so good about this kid and I bought the stuff from him! Then I realized no wonder this country is one of the least corrupted!
thats as long as as he's among less rich people. As soon as he's among his peers, the old cast, creed and race raises their ugly heads.sri_lion said:
