[QUOTE="Nash_Node, post: 1920087, member: 91200"] In my personal opinion, I see a discripency here. Sinhala - a nationality Hindu - A religion Tamil - a nationality. However., the populer term of use is Sinhala - Hindu New year. As far as I understand, this celebration can trase it's root's into the ancient King's time of Sri Lanka and as per the records (and as far as I know) it was started somewhere during the rane of King Parakramabahu of the Anuradhapura era. So why did they start this ? (according to the "mahaweli wanshaya - which chapter I can't remember.. I think it's volume 11 or something) They said, the king brought hoards and hoards of Indian slaves to build tanks and do other petty things around the country. Yes, also the kings has said to have had a special nag of getting down Indian Princesses for his personal brothel :) Although by those days, the Jullian calender which we follow now was un-heard of, the Sri Lankan people was following the Moon Calender so did the Indians. (From what I read) they say the King has named the New year day (of the moon calender) as Sinahlese and "Hindu" new year to satisfy the slaves comman wealth and the princesses in his brothel. So why did the king "DID NOT" named it as Buddist-Hindu new year??????? SIMPLE., becuase those days there was "hardly" any other religion than "buddism" which was followed by Sri Lankans :) Simple example and simple answer to anyone who's wondering on how did the name came to being isn't it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PS. I have been getting these simmilar mails from a "cult" called "MAHASOHON KALLIYA" and brutes and brats of all sorts. I personally see a lack of education and understanding in these so called "web cults" who are suppose to look into the interests of "sinhalese" These idiots acts no second to a die hard "jihad member of Osama bin laden" :angry: No Kidding, seriously. Someone should really talk some sense into these under-educated stupid dickheads who marginalize them selves as DA SAVIOURS of the Sinhala Race. and just in case if anyone of these so called "cult members" are reading this.. GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARN SOME HISTROY .... YOU DUMB FU_KING MORONS [/QUOTE]
