“Machan, what are the special issues they (Tamil speaking Sri Lankans) have? “
This is a question one of my friends who lives abroad asked from another friend on Facebook recently. I didn’t follow up to see what his answer was. But if someone asked me the same, here’s how I would answer.
“If you live abroad, ask the same question from a Tamil speaking Sri Lankan (preferably an elder) that you would randomly meet on a street.“
“If you live in Sri Lanka, go beyond Anuradhapura and ask the same question from a Tamil speaking Sri Lankan (again preferably an elder) that you would randomly meet.“
After all, this is a silly question to ask and to be answered by a Sinhala speaking Sri Lankan. This shows where we are at after being involved in a deadly war for 3 decades, after losing so many lives and after so much of destruction. We are back in square one!
