CAN WE COMPARE??????
Well.. I gotta say that some who contributed to this thread have come to certain idea of comparing Singapore and Sri Lanka.. Actually this is very funny!
Its true that Singapore is technologically advanced than Sri Lanka and regarded as the technology hub of Asia Pacific, but that's all to it....
When you talk about Sri Lanka, The history of Sri Lanka it self goes beyond 5000 years (lately they have proven that Mr.Paranawithana was wrong, real age of Sri Lankan history is over 5000 years), if you wanna compare Sri Lanka, this puts our nation par with civilizations such as Rome, Egypt etc..!!!
Remember this........ Sri Lanka can one day become Singapore but Singapore can never become Sri Lanka, simply because time doesn’t travel backwards to give them the history and rich culture that we have!
Singapore's billboards maybe in Tamil and its probably their official language.. and that's because their
president is Tamil, which is not the case in Sri Lanka, Let me give a tip for people who wondering how to tell a nation's mother tongue and their official languages... Turn to their national anthems in which language the national anthem, that is the official language of that country!
And Mr.mayooresan you say you dont believe "Mahavamsa"? Let me tell you something... Mahavamsa says a King named Dutugamunu was here and in his time Ruwanmali Maha Saya was constructed, and it is indeed there if haven’t noticed
!!! so what the book says is already exist! so please don’t question about the history of Sinhalese people or Sri Lanka!! Because it looks Stupid when a graduate from Kelaniya talks like that..instead use your knowledge to investigate "How did Hanuman bought a piece of Himalaya all by himself
"
And one more thing, if you question about how free the Tamils in Sri Lanka look no further than yourself.. You are dare to put your personal info on a public forum and question about the history of Sinhalese, yet you still live well!!! You wouldn’t escape if it was in another country.. That’s how free Sri Lanka is for you!!!
Im sorry guys if this was too lengthy, but I must say what has to be said to protect our nation!
