In Mahavansa, it is written that in 1153 A.D., king Parakramabahu sent a flotilla of navy to Burma (Ramanna desha) and defeated the king of Ramanna. The reason for that invasion was that then king has verbally abused and assaulted the envoy of the king Parakramabahu. That attack was not to overrun and rule a foreign territory, but to defend the sovereignty of our own territory. This written history shows the power and dignity of Sinhala kings.
On 10th September 2007, it was reported that Sri Lankan navy has destroyed three ships containing armory for Tiger terrorists in the international waters, south-east of the island, more than 1200 km away.
It was four ships namely ‘Sayura’, ‘Samudura’, ‘Suranimala, and ‘Shakthi’ under the leadership of Commander Mohotti and Riar Admiral Jayanath Kolabage involved in this historical battle after more than 800 years that King Parakramabahu succeeded a similar attack but for different reason.
This time the attack was not to defeat another kingdom, but for self defense and free our own country from the curse of terrorism.
There was a time when feeble clowns and witches ruling this country in tandems. As a result, terrorists managed to target even our strategic harbors like Trincomalee at will, while these feeble clowns were only at the mercy of foreign mediators to prevent possible attacks.
It all changed in 2005, when people of Sri Lanka decided to select Mahinda Rajapaksa as the president. After a long time, people got a chance to select a true leader, and the voters took the correct use of the opportunity.
Since then, things started to change. It all started slowly first, but now the real positive outcomes are evident. When the leader is weak, he knows only to survive and defend, and that is why enemies love feeble characters that they can exploit.
It is touch of genuine leadership and clear direction that did the trick. It’s the same soldiers and commanders that were under the influence of negative political leadership, are now marching into virtually any place where the enemy stays and destroying it.
When the battle is taken back to the den of the enemy, half the battle is already won. It’s just a matter of time to complete the victory.
