We can't go around picking up on every racial group and make a national anthem. My point is, we should have only one anthem that represents us all. Having different versions only separates us more and lead to more disharmony. At a meeting, what are we going to sing? Two or three national anthems? Or choose according to the majority group at the meeting?What if one of our sportsmen/women win an Olympic event? They sing the national anthem after the award ceremony. What are we going to sing at international events?Yes, and that's one factor which made them mix so well with the Sinhalese and helped their businesses. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> And 60% of the Tamils live among us Sinhalese-the majority of them also can converse in Sinhalese. I don't see why the Tamils should resist the idea of learning Sinhalese when they very happily learn English or French when they migrate-the main language of their adoptive countries. Obviously, they don't learn the minority languages of those countries. Neither do they demand Tamil national anthems or all government documents to be in Tamil even when they form a major portion of the population in those countries. Or to have their children educated in Tamil."Equal rights" have a different meaning when you are in the Western countries??<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
