Memorable action of late Alavi Moulana


Nelson Mandela said “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination”.
Today, the 1st of January 2021 is the 89th birth anniversary of our legendary leader, the late Alavi Moulana. I recall joining a team, in my late teens, promoting teaching of the Sinhala language in Muslim schools. The prominent members of the team, then, were Ven. Devamottawe Amarawansa Thera, K.M.P. Rajaratne and Alavi Moulana, who was then in his prime youth.
We embarked on an inaugural campaign mission to Negombo, to a Muslim school where only Tamil was taught. The venue was already prepared by a group in support of our campaign to include Sinhala too. However, there was also some opposition to our move. As we approached the venue, from a distance we noted that there were people with black armbands and black flags. ....

Did The Sinhala Buddhist Ethnocentrism Select Its Waterloo


Did The Sinhala Buddhist Ethnocentrism Select Its Waterloo 
Harsha Gunasena
Sinhala Buddhists in this country guided by the Buddhist way of life, had big hearts over the centuries in ethnic relationships. Although at present the ethnicity, religion and caste are considered as a prerequisite for national leadership, in the history we had kings with different ethnicities with the concurrence of the people in several instances. They were not invaders who grabbed the power by force although we had number of such kings. For example, Nissanka Malla who ruled the country for nine years (1187-1196) in Polonnaruwa era was not of Sri Lankan origin.
