Should Sanath made into a Knight?

[omaladithya123]

If talking about legends in cricket then it should be Aravinda De Silva who has to be considered in the first place.

Yep

this shows how the colonial psycology has effected us...

we shout no need their service, no need their culture..ours is the best, value ours protect our...etc etc.

at last end up choosing from our heros who should be knighted (for the service they did for our country)...

It is the British that offers Kinghtship not Sri Lankans are asking for it!

And the thread is to get member's ideas of IF Britain decides to OFFER a Kinghtship as they have done for other Cricketers... who'd be the most deserving Sri Lankan cricketer for that?

Don't be so silly mate. Britain obviously chooses a person who has served the country to be a knight.

And read the topic of this thread pls b4 posting garbage.

Knight ... what a bullshit ???????

The position of Knight made by british kings to award who had devoted his life to entertain royals. (see ian botthom is not a big cricketer even awarded - he is a drug user, who get caught in cricket matches) But we are in Sri Lanka and Sanath and Murali made their service to Sri Lanka. Rayals of british merely offer such positions to asian like us (see the list of knights).. and we do not values that positions here too.. sana and muraly already heroes of our people in Sri Lanka. Are we still looking for carrots from suddas to make compensation ????? I think our government should ban those type of awards and positions (basically carrots) givern by suddas

FYI.. Sri Lanka's 1st Prime Minister, Don Stephen Senanayake was awarded a Knighthood, which he refused! So YES! they do offer Knighthood for Asians!

Sir Don Baron Jayathilaka

Sir John Kothalawala

Above two people are also Knights.

And just for the information of the others see this. That's why we can't have a knight in SL now.

Honorary awards are made to people who are not citizens of countries that acknowledge the British Sovereign as their head of state. They cannot use the titles of "Sir" or "Dame", but can use the initials of the awards after their names. If such people later acquire British nationality or the nationality of another Commonwealth Realm, then their awards are usually made substantive, and in the case of knighthoods and dameships they can begin to use the titles.

Citizens of a country which was a full part of the British Empire when they received the honour (i.e. who were British subjects at the time) were substantive knights or dames, not honorary, although some chose not to use their title after their country became independent. Citizens of British protectorates and mandated territories, however, received honorary awards. Before 1947, Indian princes and citizens of the princely states were made substantive members of the two Indian orders (Order of the Star of India and Order of the Indian Empire), but honorary members of the other orders. Other Indians, however, were made substantive members of all orders.

We had knights when British ruled the counrty.

So neither Sanath nor Aravinda will become knights now

 

[rash87]

Murali for sure but Sanath has his chances too, since he made an revolution in the oneday arena which has given the blood 2day's level, he sure is a candidate, but I really doubt tht either Murali or any Sri Lankan to be honered as Knights!!!!

Macho,

Sir Arthur C Clarke is a citizen of Sri Lanka! He's not a citizen of Britain. So what about that? I don't even remember he going to UK to get the honour!


So that means Queen still can appoint knights from SL.

I Think Both The Cricketers Deserves Knighthood.

ookane dan ithin thada wenawane... Tikak hoyala balala katha karapan machang

Clarke was born in Minehead, Somerset, United Kingdom. As a boy, he enjoyed stargazing and reading old American science fiction pulp magazines (many of which made their way to the UK in ships with sailors who read them to pass the time). After secondary school and studying at Huish's Grammar School, Taunton, he was unable to afford a university education and got a job as an auditor in the pensions section of the Board of Education.

But macho my point is that by the time the above 3 got their knighthood their countries were not under the British empire!
