Buddhism I love and the Buddhism I Hate As I saw both

The Pathway for the New Constitution being Formulated

Yes Buddhism's constitutional status, has to be ensured of elevating to a level of respectfully accepted by all section of ethnic and religious communities within the Nation, through fresh provisions to the entrenched status of the current constitution for the New Constitution being formulated. This in order to elevate the status and to preserve the valued rituals practiced by the Majority Community - a deserved respect for them by other communities through nonviolence means.

Yes since the Independence in1948, the Majority community has been utter foolishly involved in many means threatening and marginalization of the minorities, through violent eruptions of looting and robbing  periodically in order to attain what they believed as a “respectful status”, by  Buddha-Sinhalization of the nation.

As a consequence of Majoritarian Terrorizing out of fear over Tamils, that the Tamils would Up-rise (Thamilar Ezuchchi or மேல் ஓங்கல்) in 1956, 1958, 1974, 1977, 1980 and1983 – the counter offensive Terrorism by the Tamil Youth was born and was made to escalate into a haunting 30 year long war, - so that to exercise the total enslavement, by bringing the whole majority Tamil speaking people residing areas under direct clout of Sinhala Majority Defense Personals. It is a pity experience that Government of Sri Lanka cunningly used the extremism and extremists within their own rank to instigate the extremism among minorities rather than nipping in the bud. But That is what the Sinhalese Governments perceived and professed to achieve, using the Sinhala –Buddhist extremists  since independence and they have achieved it very crudely and cruelly  by the war that had been haunting and warping to all communities of the nation.

That is the present scenario – that is what the Sinhalese Government wanting to preserve and sustain that “post war culture", forcing the “Sinhalese-thinking” on to the Tamils as “reconciliation” - A bloody farce reconciliation at the gun point as has been perceived and professed for, since Independence,  that was made meant only for Sinhalese.    The conduct of the Governments are clearly of Dutta Kaimunu Saga, (Tamil meaning –the bad hand holder or Man who always does evil things) primitive thinking rather than based on the constitutions they enact as cover for portraying as considerate for minorities –but never by their actions; particularly armed forces and policing can be an example - for explaining the needs for improving the cordial relationship among ethnic communities in one nation that is religiously aligned – now the war was far over – 7 years had been lost for the people who were the first to be displaced losing their lively-hood,  sacrificing the self-respect for ever – to the State’s misplaced warmth esteem towards the Security Forces. Defense personals who are in State payroll are engaged in additional income generation, through farming, agriculture etc., while the real owners of the lands occupied are begging for daily shelter and food.  The war excess - Hora Pusas have found the taste of additional income – using the Power of a State and bringing up the Buddha Statues with ostentatious devotion to take cover behind, off the absolutely contentious act of depriving right to livelihood and shelter on their own land. When a Minister in charge of the Resettlement – A Tamil by birth announces that a further 1000 acres of land would be released back to the owners, the following day The State’s pet the area Commander hora- pusa announces – “enough land had been released back to owners, and there is no lands to release further” – now the cabinet minister a Tamil pet of Ranil W cannot even bark at the Hora Pusas – because, since independence forces had been unduly venerated and had been trained to dance Sinhala-Buddhism command only!  Why you enact constitution?

The rulers, who are adamantly reluctant to come out of the Karma befallen Medieval thinking introduced to this Nation by a too exuberant juvenile of just 17 years old Prince who rebelled and defied his own King father – to Kill 60,000 Saivist along with King Elara in order to Establish Buddhism against extensively practiced Saivaism, that pushed the majority of Saivist north of Anuradhapura, in Thambatheevu. This particular incident had been described with injected venomous racist booster latter by Therars Mahanama and Veera Muni medieval thinking fictionalizers as of a great Buddha- Sasana establishing accomplishment for Sri Lanka. Strikingly featuring medieval thinking of Mahanama Therar that saliently contradicts Gautama Buddha’s Noble prescriptions for life, and enlightenment 1000 years earlier, but still branded as Buddhism and have been in preservation for generations in Sri Lanka since the Dutta Kemunu period.  This well explains the concocting and conducting of all violent eruptions against the minorities by the State and its’ religious pompous monks.

The Tamils of this Island are not prepared to accept or to concede to these kind of nonsense – of Sinhalese defined and destined Buddhism, but the Gautama Buddha Buddhism engrained of noble philosophy that rejects assumptions and hate for alternatives, and that empowers discussions against authoritarian and that promulgating rationalized thinking against subordinate imaginations hence imaginative fears by fallacy reasons. I have walked across the quite a number Tamil families who follows Buddhism as their principal guide and their shrine room consists of Statue of Buddha along with other, but quite conspicuously shying off to declare themselves as Sri Lankan Tamil Buddhists.

The modern day “Dutta Kemunus”

All must understand first that building a Temple or a Vihara is entirely different from enacting statues in junctions surrounded by people not prepared to welcome it, for the simplest reason, it is established by force – not by compassion and that they very knowledgably understands the prince Siddhartha’s teachings that enabled him to become Gautama Buddha not the one practiced by statues installers with concealed  reasons for the instigation of religious disharmony, as the origin of statue worshiping is Saivist rituals, and the defense personals posing, why not Tamil people cannot worship Buddha Statue as well! 

 In Saivaism or Hinduism is if a statue enacted it has to be maintained by Daily Pooja or Offerings ("Sahththupadi") - otherwise the people erected the statue of deity become engulfed in sins and cursed for generations. That is known as "Sahbam" in Tamil. This ritual believe should be respected wherever Hindus or Saivist or even Catholics reside in majority.  But for the style of Sri Lankan Buddhism - once the Buddha statue is erected - there is no need for such maintenance but a "respect" borne out by standing still off moving or standing off their seats for few seconds, when commuting in a vehicle is enough - that is what the Defense personals wanted to achieve among the people whom majority are not of following statue respect Buddhism and - Using the Ruling Status or an Office to Force the people to respect a statue - not the respectful principled Buddha teachings.   A human being who is mindful of self - respect will not accept what is forced upon him/her, particularly when they are aware of true Gautama Buddha’s Teachings; Buddha never prescribed statue worshiping, particularly of his own, but this practice was adopted from Hindu -Saiva rituals for attraction and propagation and Buddhism attained a religious status.  Hence the State aligned to a religion as main whatsoever of rituals, shall exert control over erecting places of worship any representing any religion or sect, particularly including that of State affiliated, so that to emphasize the basic principles entrenched and emanated by different religions. Such laws and appropriate constitutional reforms shall ensure religious harmony in the entire island.  There are should be a high profiled multi-religious body of the Central Government as well as to Provinces based on the need of the population of that particular province, which mandating to authorize the enacting of Viharai, Temples and Mosques or any other place where people commune for veneration; it shouldn’t be wherever or whenever as of someone’s right alone, but that ensures collective responsibility towards peace and harmony that all religions basically prescribe. 

The Buddhism is being a main State aligned, with very much affiliation to the State of a Nation of multi-ethnicity, It necessitate the State to curb the unnecessarily over-reactive forces such as undisciplined monks and defense personals from non-principled religious activities, the persona of both are totally of from majority Buddhist community or in the latter of few numbered non-Buddhists preferred to be aligned with majority community for the benefits borne by that state affair status. A uniform wearing government officer shall instead involve in actions accordance with Superior Buddhist Principles that inducts compassion and attraction, towards the government and it’s State aligned Buddhism - the servicemen representing. For the people, the six decade of post independent era has haunting in many ways  including to the majority community but particularly for minorities, by the fact that constitution and conduct ran contrarily, in fact contrast to the Noble Gautama Buddha Guidance in the conquest for the political survival by the rivalry political parties subordinated the noble principles – sought politically entrenched quantity instead of (against) seeking the superior quality of practice of Buddhist teachings and attraction towards it.

Seeking the Quality instead of Quantity

It is an absolute assumption to imagine and fear borne out of inferiority complex, all in total contradiction to Buddha’s teachings that Buddhism and Sinhalese would vanish and disappear or would be overrun by other religions despite being followed by an immense 70% or more populace, and despite being State’s main Religion – ever ruled only by Buddhists. There is no any barrier or physiological hindrance for Sinhalese or Buddhists to reproduce and hence the assumptions– are scientifically and mathematically false and farce and hegemonic for more and more opportunities and benefits. Only thing that hinder the Sinhala Buddhist population increasing, is their own ritual practice of offering the Children to Sasana irrespective of their sex difference, and I am typing this part on the 1^st of October – The International Day for Children; it appears that Karma has befallen on these children as both Hindu and Buddhist followers believe in. In other words, if it is unchecked proliferation of monks and hence too many ill-conceived interpretations of Buddhism, and it is the real threat for expansion of Buddhism in its’ reputed pure form as a whole. It seems that Karma has befallen on this country designed to protect Buddhism – that it allows proliferation of people never wanted to recognize and understand the Gautama Buddha’s Noble teachings and  Guidance for peaceful life, within its own ranks, unless the reputed pure form are taught to them and  are given  options for modern education, or to leave or stay within the Sasana when they attains self-reliance thinking; if a text book describes brethren ethnic community as “napuru” (very cruel people), long before Tamil counter terrorism was unleashed,  that system has to look back its own path it came through more conscientiously, than now.  

Prince Siddhartha physically liberated him from affiliations after completing one of the most important Social Responsibility of Marriage, - that is after attaining the certain decree of Knowledge on life maters, and would have never imagined that completely selfless  innocent children would be offered as just offering for Sasana, by the parents. Sasana and Buddhists leadership shall throw light on this aspect of absorbing people for Sasana activities, pupil for the Sasana should have attained maturity to understand the deeper meaning of the guidance prescribed by Gautama Buddha and absorb it to be propagated properly. 

The notion that Country with devolved power and power shared with communities other than the Sinhalese Buddhists cannot protect Buddhism is only an idiotic hegemonic thinking – borne again by absolute assumptions and fear – borne out of inferiority complex again, of the ever nonconformists even after the Military victory against ruthless terrorist organization, not wanted to trust their own governments – but ever wanted to hang on to the 17 year old boy (bequeathed  Prince) of the 5^th century primitive thinking – aroused in contrast to Gautama  Buddha’s Teachings but had been claimed to be stamping the authority over Saivist.  

The present day Sinhalese leaders shall come out this medieval thinking for the sake of the entire population of this Nation than for any think else. Gautama Buddha has prescribed equality consideration for all life, all human beings, alike. In a multiethnic country it is the responsibility of the State to ensure, equal treatment of its citizen not only on writing in the constitution, but shall through its actions that emanate the message of guaranteed equality considerations across the nation as well as within its’ State Machinery.

Devolution of Centralized Power within a Nation is one way of ensuring political equality, particularly within a Democratic Nation.  Democracy is Classless Rule of the people, by the people that ensures equality to all, sustaining and defending the supremacy of the people through elected Parliament and Neutrally functioning systems, which include Independent Judiciary neutral to all ethnic communities. Democracy is developed into various devolutionary packages to ensure the equality of the rule of the people by the people for different ethnic group of people within a Nation – such as federal, canton councils, provincial councils etc. 

The two main political parties, who ran The Government of Sri Lanka, ever since independence  through politics of bi-partition was able to sustain and propagate racism and discrimination as a tool for political gain as well as a policy of the GOSL conveniently through ostentatious decoration of "Buddhism Prescribed Democracy" to be indiscernible for whoever question or doubt their actions. The Democratic Nations were nonexistent when Buddha was living, and thus only prescribed it for so as to settle small squabbles and disputes of finger countable village committee, no way can be thrust forcibly into another ethnic communities different language or religions. This entire episode is the core resulted in a war and was unnecessarily protracted the war absolute subjection of Tamils and minorities.

The present devolution known as 13^th Amendment, is a fallacy for the meaning of devolution of powers that suits the hegemonic aspirations rather than of the minorities and further engraved by the rulers of hegemonic politics towards Centralization since its introduction. Two separate States or Nations within the Island of Sri Lankan is not possible any means topographically nor demographically, both renounce the peaceful existence or forever, or ever happening. All political pipe-dreamers the Rulers and opposition shall understand this notion of two nations are just a pipedream only and shall be intelligent enough to go forward with devolution of powers with demographical alignments – as much as possible Tamil speaking People’s aspirations to be cleared of heavy dependency on Majoritarian Bi-Partition politics since Independence have to be satisfied through maximum devolution and effective power sharing objectively.  The sole objective of devolution is, to address the Tamils’ Political aspiration, in the context of central majoritarian rule and that objective can be achieved only joining the Tamil Speaking areas and if necessary with pockets of Union Central Rule –for the minority of the Province, enough is experiments with two separate provinces for Tamil aspirations as Minorities. 

The political parties in power shall renounce the Monarchial fantasy for the sake of the people and shall delegate themselves to further strengthening 13^th amendment towards the provincial Governments so that the people of the respective provinces enjoy the devolved power rather only few in the Centre.  No any hindrance can be foreseen, for Sri Lankan peoples’ to continue practicing Buddhist Rituals that originated since Monarchial era, either Centrally or peripherally by such full strengthened devolution; actually by such devolution, the ritual practices of the peripherals are promoted and enhanced to be conducted with plump and pomp as of Central, (if the central authorities are not cast concerned of any) I don’t think anybody would oppose this, unless for personal schemas.  The present way of  implementing the devolved powers – more or less resembles the prior -13^th Amendment of 1987 with Police and Judiciary and Land powers has been completely held back, Education, Health, Irrigation, Agriculture etc. travels in two boats turbulently and just eating into the economy with lesser output – finally  Central Government take the burden for weakly performing provinces as well.

Therefore the Central Government shall delegate all the powers prescribed in the 13^th Amendment completely through new constitution and it shall assume an astute competitive supervisory role – e.g. once The Central Government totally delicate the powers of Education Ministry Administration, National Schools – It will keep back all the National Examinations and processing within its purview for analysis and progress guidance.

Natural Disasters or Man-made Calamities Part 2

Natural Disasters or Man-made Calamities Part 2

President Maithripala Srisena shall take over Department of Wildlife Conservation and bring it under the Ministry Environment

The Government of Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka always upholds the Buddhists principles, being Buddhist Nation and as such it has been blessed with an ardent heritage of following strict conservation measures since the monarchical era, an adorable practice very unique to this tiny beautiful Island Nation unparalleled to any other nation - that is how we proudly inherit a rich but always under threat Fauna and Flora, that makes Sri Lanka proud. As such every citizen is duty bound to protect this invaluable inheritance of rich Wildlife and transfer this to the next generation as well, as an ardent inheritance of this tiny island nation- that is the main objective of Department of Wildlife Conservation and that is why Dept. of Wildlife Conservation has been established with principles, laws and protocols to be adhered always for an effective conservation of fauna and flora and it has to be continued in unequivocal terms.

A highly qualified professional environmentalist, and self-oriented wild elephant enthusiast Dr. Sumith Pilapitiya have rendered his resignation as Director General, Department of Wildlife Conservation, within months of his appointment, as a result of he was not in a position to save an honest officer who has gallantly discharged his duties, from the personal barrage and admonition of Minister in charge of Wildlife Conservation and Sustainable Development, for nothing other than the executing of his duty as a Park Warden, bravely and appropriately.   This entire episode has dashed the hopes and trust of the truly patriotic and environmentally concerned people, elicited on Dr. Sumith Pilapitiya’s taking over the helm of Dept. WLC.

Here what the Gallant Officer Park Warden Yala National Park Suranga Rathnayake has to say

"On June 05, I as the warden of Yala Park, sent a group for a raid that was launched on information we had received. During the raid we arrested a man who had 46 kgs of animal meats, an illegal weapon and a dead tiger whose jaws had been removed in his possession. As WLCD officials, we have the power to arrest poachers and produce them before courts. So we produced the arrested poacher before court and he was remanded. On that day, Minister Gamini Jayawickrema Perera called me and admonished me for producing the suspect in court without producing him before the police. But, we have the powers to produce suspects directly before a magistrate. Poachers have been killing animals as a practice in Yala for a long time.”

But what the minster in charge of the subject, matter Gamini Jayawickrema Perera have done?

The Minister of the subject, instead of praising the officer who was honest, and brave to have apprehended the culprits of leopard hunters for meat, hide and tooth red handed - risking his life. But the Minister has gone totally out of the way to save the culprits, absolutely contradicting and criminal manner.

Any officials of the Dept. of Wildlife Conservation has the right to produce a suspect to a magistrate, and they don’t need a police assistance whatsoever, they even can arrest a police officer who the Dept. of Wildlife Conservation officials opines as a hindrance to execute his duties promptly, and it should be the way it should continue as well.

Furthermore the same minister in Gamini Jayawickrema Perera of UNP have even uttered to the Yala Park Warden "Poachers have been killing animals as a practice in Yala for a long time" so what it means clearly here is there had, have been a practice and expecting the Park Warden – just to overlook those criminal activities done by the cronies of the politicians.  

Therefore it is quite clear that Leopard meat, hide and teeth is for the consumption, of the two Ministers  involved  in this blatant messing up, as a (mythical) remedy for aging and impotence.  

Even any Minister who wants to praise his officials for the gallantly performed duty, it has go through the proper channel, otherwise it all become too personal, officer concerned would lose the recordings and his entire carrier. 

Gamini Jayawickrema Perera is not fit to be called a Honorable, because he has utter foolishly strayed off a very well known -and long practiced protocol by summoning  on the officer who discharged his duties very gallantly to parliament to face himself alone, willfully avoiding the Director General, Dept. of Wildlife Conservation who was legally appointed by Public Service Commission.

Department of Wildlife Conservation at the outset shouldn't have been with Ministry of Sustainable Development particularly with the Sri Lankan standard of Ministers, who always target the public properties only to enhance their appearance among the public, everything a just a propaganda tool. Sustainable Development is a technical term corresponding to conservation of forests and wildlife, to conserve all the natural reserves most effective way and no politician can understand its whole reflecting meaning be it in Sinhala or English and thus it is too dangerous and threatening to have named a ministry as Wildlife Conservation and Sustainable Development.    

P.S-: I have worked under Gamini Jayawickrema Perera as Kurunagala District Minister 1982- 1983, and I was the National consultant Wildlife Veterinarian for Department, Wildlife Conservation (1995- 1998)

Natural Disasters or Man made Calamities; which suffocates the Paradise Island Inhabitants most?

The so called paradise island’s inhabitants are suffering intermittently through natural disasters of various forms throughout the year, drought and excessive heat for one season, that followed by  torrential rains another season – it is a cycle well accustomed   to the islanders, though different parts of the island in varying times and decrees – the response of rest of the people in and during the every aftermath of the disaster is quite astonishing – just one and same voice and action in full swing  full filling the need of the hour – responding to address the needs of the suffered though mediated through different private electronic media . Their true concerns for humanity and hospitality expressed in splendidly unified concern, everybody forgetting the ethno-religious barriers, an absolute contrast to the majority of the politicians of all levels.

That is how the people of this country have modulated this island nation as Paradise Island for the eyes of the entire rest of the world, apart from its scenic beauty it holds through the geographical landscapes; the peasants and public are well aware that the natural disasters are part and partial of the same scenic beauty eliciting geographical landscapes and as well aware, that only humanitarian concerns in the aftermath of the disaster can address the suffering the people. 

Who is responsible for river sand mining?  Who is responsible for illegal gem mining?  Who is responsible for tree felling in reserves and sanctuaries? Who is responsible for land grabbing from reserved basins? All these goes on, unabated however the law is extended, because there will be a real crook of a politician behind the crook who cooks the pot for the real crook never hooked by the legal frame.   Though all these has been the general collective contributory factors eliciting natural disasters globally – Sri Lanka’s geographical landscape nature is that, certain provinces are prone for all season disaster, namely Uva, Sabragamuwa and Central Province where both south west and north east monsoonal rains  as well  as well unseasonal torrential rains lashes out havoc almost every year. In between there comes a lengthy drought further seeking public response; as such authorities’ preparedness is questionable.

Sri Lankan people are such accustomed to Natural Disasters, they really understands the way to respond to the event better than the authorities, influenced by the politicians, who always feverishly focused on propaganda rather than a real helping intention – the exceptions are in rarity.  If not how to explain the unrepairable manmade calamities by the people’s representatives and their cronies in the top authorizing postings who succeed alternatively just bury those calamities for the sake of just continuing the calamities – swindling, siphoning and stealing the national coffers and public wealth by the name of public service. 
  

Natural Disasters are somewhat repairable except for the loss of live of loved ones suddenly and some cases in multiple of single family. Truly traumatic as result of each unexpected telling devastation of natural disaster. But the loss and damage to property are definitely reclaimed and totally repaired through international aids, public responses, aiding agencies and even through National Insurance Policy.  But the manmade national calamities, swindling, siphoning and stealing the national coffers and public wealth by the name of public service never can be recovered or repaired by any means unless the change of mindset come from the tie or white national clad vandalizing peoples’ elect, and their cronies, whose prime motive is targeting public funds. - for them it need not be corrected, because the multiple economic damages are never known to public and thrown to light only as an opportunity for the opposition to come to power- just like they do during the Natural Disaster dancing in the middle of the mud for well-known reasons. These rascals swindle and siphoned even the aid money sent in by International Community. Tsunami helping fund destiny and related deal makers are classic example of this heinous crime by the “ardent” followers of Buddhism of Sri Lankan Interpretation.

The new regime came to power shouting slogans of anti-corruption drive involved itself in the biggest scam of all time through sales of Central Bank Bond siphoning billions towards a family as well as to a particular political Party- not only once it has happened twice. In a latest bid to swindle and burgle the foreign aids towards the 2016 Flood and Land slide victims, The Ministry of Home Affairs has just appointed an “Expert” of Swindling & Siphoning of aid funds - V. P. Anusha Pelpita who has a record of being indicted in the High Court of Colombo on two accounts, for Siphoning 600 Million Sri Lankan Rupees, being Chairman of Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and in as same capacity, he has been indicted for swindling 125 Million US Dollars, through Digital Conversion of Television transmission system – under Japanese Easy Pay System Aid worth only 5 Million US Dollars. Thus holds the record of pick-pocketing a jackpot of twenty five fold than the worth of entire purchase - the loot amounting to 16.25 Billion Sri Lankan rupees. What a selection by Minister of Home affairs Vajira Abeyagunawardhana!

Thus it is abundantly clear, any ruling party would not have a true intention for prevention of calamities to safe live and property of public through Natural Disasters such as landslides, or of man-made, but would rather prioritize relieving and resettlement through helping aid funds of multiple resources posthumously. Authorities are happy making the damages of natural disasters AS Beggar’s Wound of the paradise island.   How many landslides had occurred within the last decade? Being preparedness and relocation of people from landslide prone areas are just add talk of console for the time being or else speed of the action well beaten by subsequent natural disaster cycle – calamities compounded by man-made -insidious intentions.

Youth Revolting Against –Bad Leadership of Alternative Ruling Parties

What a calamity for the beautiful paradise island that the island is overflowing with  politicians of inconvertible and invincible shoplifts, who could swiftly lift worth multi-mall at once; the first and pronounced permanent manmade calamity was provoked by the fools of the paradise Sinhala Nationalism or rather “Sinhalaism” most appropriately – looting and burning down the properties of minorities in 1958, 1976, 1977, 1983, and 1985 – that inducted Tamil youth into separatist war – behaviour of the Central Ministers and alternative governments post-independence is responsible for the calamity of cruel 30 year old civil war that affected entire inhabitants of this so called paradise island.

Even after the war the shoplifters have not learned their lessons and in 2014 Aluthgama staged a fresh exhibition of shoplifting with the same old style of seeking domination through violent looting. There was an absolute rationale behind A. Amirthalingam succeeding in inducting the Tamil youth into the separatist movement, though for known to be for a losing cause, in its inception itself for many; the salient point here is that youth were in frustration, who were of considerable population easily diverted or coaxed into various forms of anti-national activities. The same rationale lay behind the Sinhala Youth of the southern remote areas join in mass the JVP upheavals of 1971 and 1989. The cause for the calamities through the both sections of civil wars was only one – failing to appraise the respective youth concerns in appropriate terms. There was a very huge unreachable distance between the rulers and the aspiration of the youth in mass while the alternative rulers were concerned only of their Henchman and family members, demonstrating their power and grabbing power again and again. This past experience itself mandates an appropriate true democratic power devolution that ensures the youth participation of nation building, with amicable resonance for all provinces.   Religious guidance were and are of inferior, despite national claims to be following superior to any other, the teachings of Gautama Buddha; but what prevailed was with objective to subject the minorities permanently at all possible means.

The problem within our country is that we give undue reverence to politicians, prominence to clergy and unwanted attention to a military uniform. All this is blindly devoted patriotism that should be done away with. Over the years, the deterioration of everything in Sri Lanka is a result of politicizing or militarizing our establishment. Indiscipline is rife in every sphere. It just continues in north and East and Military suppression of upheavals and keeping on direct military surveillance all civic activities give wrong notions that are of being subjected unreasonably and just cannot be continued forever, the real cause for all the youth frustration and mind of revolting has to be addressed meaningful manner with deep considerations for ethnicity. 

How can a true caliber of statesman co-habit with contemporary parliamentarians who swindle and siphoned national coffers of various means with absolute impunity and claim they are the rulers of the nation of multiple ethnicity? Doesn’t this could elicit separatist notion among minority politicians? That is why, most corrupt politicians of the south are wanted to be of racist and continuously wanted to subject the minorities, imagining that the minorities are not aware their corrupt practices and corruption could be conveniently covered by unabated anti-minority slogans.

The Singapore Nation predominantly of Buddhists, which follows the real teachings of Gautama Buddha all by its true virtues – paved way for all ethnic groups respecting each other through authorities recognizing each and every ethnic group became part of nation building and truly a paradise of all respect, where man-made calamities are subdued effectively by adhering to teachings of Gautama Buddha by its merit. 

A Proposal that was dumped to the Dustbin during the Mahinda Rajapaksha Regime  

The normal thermal power plant's heat source the fossil based fuel is effectively replaced by piled up litter and garbage. 

Sri Lanka should put a full stop to dumping of garbage in various places of one or the other, because the population and the households are always ever increasing rapidly and it is a permanent problem we are and would be facing with increased pressure and thus require a concrete permanent solutions; finding another place as refill means we are transferring  the life risking environment to fresh area. Thus it is imperative  that we set in motion some concrete  actions  for multipurpose recycling the trash daily collected, including for electricity generation, (apart from windmills, solar power, etc.) The reason is such a system is a multi-faceted income generator, via wealthy ash turned out  and that definitely  ensures a clean environment for human respiration within a heavily populated township if meticulously planned and executed. Baltimore Maryland model may give us an insight of this project as well the above said benefits.  Setting up (None Bio Gas System) of burning of litter for steam engines propellers that would convert energy into electricity, as found in many well developed countries.  shall be just another mega contributor for the National grid of electricity generation in Sri Lanka. 

This does not require a compulsory sorting out litter and garbage for recycling combustion for electricity generation unless there is a public demand for composting. There need not be a worry of too wet garbage disturbing  the flow of burning, since all the incineration taking place at more than 1700˚F to 2500˚F  in all the system utilizing garbage as a fuel. 

The Refuse Energy Systems Company (RESCO) was originally an equity based company later it was out rightly sold to a standalone company Wheelabrator Incinerator for long term program and expansion agreement based on the interests it generated among the entrepreneurs by the profits system generated.

The Process of Recycling Trash into Energy...

The Outer View Environmental friendly Plant in the City

The Baltimore plant processed and burns up to 2,250 tons of trash from Baltimore city and county each day and is capable of generating 60,000 kilowatts of electricity, enough to supply power 68,000 to homes. It also supplies steam to the city's downtown heating loop. The Refuse Energy Systems Company (RESCO) plant burns municipal solid waste, a fancy name for household trash, to heat boilers which produce steam. The steam is used to provide heating and air conditioning, and to turn a turbine to produce electricity. There are 16 plants like this one in the U.S. This plant was opened in the fall of 1984 and services the needs of the city of Baltimore, Baltimore County, and the surrounding county of Anne Arundel. It has processed more than 9 million tons of waste so far, and can provide electricity for as many as 40,000 homes. The steam from the plant satisfies the heating needs of the city of Baltimore and a large portion of its cooling needs.

It is not just dumping the garbage and polluting the Environment 

Garbage trucks enter the plant to dump their refuse (trash) into a "receiving pit". (No fuels, tires, sludge or trash from the hospital are allowed.) From this area, a crane with a huge mechanical claw scoops up three or four tons of garbage at a time and dumps it into the feed hopper or "intake" of one of three processing units. These hoppers are fed by gravity. At the bottom of the hopper, "ram feed stokers" push the trash into a fire that burns at 2,500˚F degrees Fahrenheit. This burns the trash as it is received – the trash is NOT separated – just dumped in "as it is." The glass and aluminum melt. At about 750 tons a day per intake or feed hopper, with all three intake or feed hoppers operating, the plant can burn about 2,250 tons of trash a day total. See a flowchart!

Inside each unit is a slanted metal grate that vibrates back and forth. It slowly transports the refuse through the fire and allows for complete combustion (or burning) to occur. It takes about one hour for any single piece of garbage to pass all the way through the furnace. The RESCO processing system successfully reduces the volume of incoming garbage by 90% (the big pile of trash that goes in turns into a small pile after it is burned). The remaining 10% consists of ash, ferrous (made of or contains some iron) and non-ferrous metals.

Garbage Energy Generation Control Room

After the garbage is completely processed, the ferrous and non-ferrous metals are separated from the residue (the rest that is left over). The facility has successfully removed over 150 million pounds of metal and recycled it into the scrap metal market since 1984. This would be enough metal to build 5 Titanic!! The ash is treated and sold to various landfill sites which use the ash as a "cover" to seal either the whole site or to separate different layers within a landfill. This ash becomes very hard and solid after being wet down with some water.

All fires need air to burn. In this plant, the primary source for combustion air is drawn from the receiving pit area. This causes a sustaining negative air pressure in the receiving pit – the air pressure is actually lower in the receiving pit than it is outside of the plant. This negative pressure prevents any "garbage" odors or dust from escaping into the outside environment. Even though they deal with tons of garbage, it isn't really that stinky outside the plant.

The Sketch of the Plant at the control room

This plant doesn't just burn the trash, it also uses it to help produce other "products." Surrounding the grate systems are large utility-type power boilers which are designed to recover and "recycle" the thermal energy released by the garbage during burning. This recycled energy is recovered in the form of high pressure steam. Everything that goes on in the plant is monitored in the control room. At full capacity, (the largest amount that can be processed at one time) the plant can generate more than 500,000 pounds of steam per hour. The energy from the steam is used in the form of steam itself or electricity. BRESCO can supply up to 300,000 pounds per hour to Trigen Baltimore for direct steam heating or summer cooling (using chillers) in downtown Baltimore. The facility is also capable of generating 60,000 kilowatts of electrical energy for Baltimore Gas & Electric Company using its turbine generator to convert the steam into electrical energy.

ICC – International Cricket Council, what it should be, but in practical it is Indian Commission for Cricket amounting to International Cricket Collaboration for Indian Cheating Cricket, is known as ICC

Cricket was introduced to the 3^rd world countries by the British colonial rulers as a game for Gentleman, who uphold the principles of fair-play and sportsman ship – spirit of the game while playing the game. But in contrary all sports are played and competed among individuals and teams to uphold those three aspects and develop trust and goodwill among the participants and more importantly, the nations as well represented by the participants.  All the international sports bodies have laid laws and regulations based on above principles and ensure that the objected tasks are equally fulfilled while the organized competitions and matches take place among and between the member nations.
All sports local bodies of member countries are involved collectively with the respective international principal body, to upgrade the playing conditions, and improving the umpiring for equal application of law for all competitors, and intervening at appropriate time to make sure that an unfair paly do not give unjustifiable advantage to one side – all using ultramodern technology. …..in a modern soccer match even an off side rule is confirmed by replaying the monitoring TV visuals and in Tennis the out ball is confirmed by similar manner.

The game cricket does not fall into that fair play, spirit of the game, fair play etc. anymore. All important equality to all participants not ensured of; as long as the cricket rules and regulations were under the sole authority of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and spanned out to member nations everything was going on smoothly and lived up to the name of “Game of Gentleman”. Since 1993 Global cricket was transferred to ICC and England’s local Cricket was taken over by Test and County Cricket Board of England, (TCCB) and every cricket loving people all over the world thought it was good for the sport of cricket to have unfettered from the hold of major nations of cricket England and Australia. But it is not to be, the sport known to be gentleman’s game slowly being bled to death under the ICC and becoming cheating traders’ paradise – no more a game of fair play. On top of it third world cricket boards are well infiltrated by unscrupulous bookies as well – Only countries who have local bodies free of infiltrating bookies are Australia, England and New Zealand  and I am not dealing with that, but the Indian monopoly of cheating cricket of the modern day.  If two different cricket series taking place simultaneously, one against India and the other one is not involving India, the later one only will employ a neutral system and the India involving series will use an erroneous system.  Every Indian cricketer is part of it either knowingly or unknowingly and the man who is known as God of Cricket in India Sachin Tendulkar is no exception – in fact he was made the main culprit of the present day unscrupulous scenario in International cricket by politicos of India.

By 2007 ICC was able to test a system known as Decision Referral System (DRS) to reduce the umpiring errors and promote and develop the sporting spirits through TV replays, Ball -Pitch Mapping and Tracking and sounds for the absolute dismay of India.

India does not want such an error removing or reducing system in place categorically and is adamant against any improvisation further in particular umpiring in cricket.

Why India is shunting the Decision Referral System (DRS) in Cricket

Indian cricket fans are not just fans they are fanatics of India winning cricket only – and the Indian Politicians whoever it may be wanted to keep on that fanatic spell of huge populous cricket spectators, for their selfish benefits so that to divert the populace real livelihood problems at the expense of natural intriguing spell bound ups and down of a meaningful game of cricket – and I dare to declare that there are around 20 million or so populace of India who do not even know what a game of cricket is. There is a clause stipulated by ICC claims that bars politics mixing with game cricket and its local cricket board of a country but India is cleverly maneuvering it in disguise; but ICC smells even a pot hole politics dribbles into the other smaller nations’ cricket board, jumps to the feet as of spirit a sport had been lost, and sees at as a threat to the game, if it is India ICC is blind.

What happened in 2007 trail test series for Decision Referral System (DRS) ICC undertook

India was only apparently silent until the Decision Referral System was first tested in Sri Lanka when the both nations met in a Test series of three tests in 2007. In fact they had put in place insinuate actions to keep out the best available option for better umpiring decisions for a lesser controversial results when such a system was set in motion three or four years before that particular trail test series; neither openly criticized nor welcomed it.  At the behest of Indian political authorities The Board of Control for Cricket for India (BCCI)

Prepared for the trial test series in maneuvering manner.

An electronic engineer by the name of Anil Kumbele was made captain for the three test series and all of its players were advised not to walk and to make and everything harder for the technology and umpires. Indian hope and guess was that there would be some mistakes and they could hang on to that as a blunder of DRS.  Anil Kumbele the skipper of the Indian team that featured the Trial Test Series in Sri Lanka made blundering appeals all to be negated as have been fixed by his mentors, if not how would one explain the referrals made by an experienced cricketer of the caliber of Anil Kumbele? Sachin Tendulkar in his part did not walk as he usually does – for a catch bounced off his bat’s backside when it was caught – on field neutral umpire negated Sri Lankan appeal, but Mehela Jayewardene signaled “T” as for decision referral and the TV replays clearly showed that ball touching the back bat of Sachin Tendulkar and well into the wicket keeper’s gloves – and the third umpire had to declare the batsman out, a naturally honest cricketer Sachin was made dishonest by Indian Political manipulation in cricket – no wonder he was made a parliament member on retirement though in pretext of his illustrious carrier record.

When we elaborate on India’s inferior thinking –Mahela Jayewardene the opposing captain in the Trial Test Series was very successful, 11 overturned out of fourteen as against Anil Kumbele had only one overturned against the same number of referrals.

India lost the trial test series, but it could not hang on to any straw, to find fault technically with the system tested, but blatantly refused to move on with the rest of member countries of the ICC. At least India could have said that they were optimistic and would submit some proposals for an improved version after that trail test series was over, rather than totally rejecting the system blindly on the basis of losing the test series. BCCI is yet to clarify or explain the flaws they claim to there in the DRS, though boasts to be a technically superior nation with rocket and atomic bomb science knowledge.  The Indian chairman of ICC had succeeded in making the DRS system is only optional and not mandatory and have ensured of benefits with the umpire errors, particularly the home series in India. Even an overseas series can be influenced by many means for one sided errors.

This system offers a captain of a team, unlimited opportunities of successful appeals against the suspected decisions of the on field umpires. In other words each and every team is entitled for two unsuccessful appeals.  India is the only cricket playing nation permanently opposing the opportunities of reviewing the on field call of umpires and the ICC has permanently stipulated or agreed to Indian pressure that India does not need to apply DRS in any bilateral series, against any country anywhere.

The ICC has miserably failed in its responsibilities, and washed off its hands on implementing and ensuring equality of playing conditions among the member countries   before taking into count all the matches and individual performances with or without DRS for rankings- this is a gross injustice for the team playing against India considering the circumstance lead to the application of DRS internationally played games. Cash striped ICC have to listen to India, for the cash pumped by India through IPL proceedings but is it worth at the expense of equal playing conditions. It is unjustifiable releasing of flawed rankings and making monstrous propaganda on it.  

If blatantly put, Indian cricket enjoys the errors of the on field umpires and that amounts to fixing of matches particularly of those take place in Indian soil conveniently under cover of human error! Even after TV replays have been introduced to fix the human error, India had meddled with the decisions of the TV Umpire (3^rd umpire) using the organizer status to the good effect. A classic example was Sachin Tendulkar declared not out after initial footage showed he was clearly run out during a world cup match in 1996. Indian history of umpiring in cricket is horrible. We all know what happened in ICC World Cup finals 2011. When India was chasing a modest total of 276, wickets were tumbling, and visiting Rajapaksha and Namal were pressurized (on the lines war crimes) and as a consequence Kumar Sangakkara released himself of leading national cricket team after the treacherous end to the final. ICC does not want to burn its finger. That is the reason behind President Maithripala Sirisena to offer a High Commissioner posting to Kumar Sangakkara on his retirement day from international cricket.  

India is hosting another ICC event this March 2016, all ethics of sports will go six and lost!

BCCI is constantly pressuring Sri Lanka Cricket to be under dog to them, through various means, particularly after the war, we don’t need a cricket administration body just to obey whatever BCCI orders – because India presently on an all-out mission to prove all its neighboring nation are technically naive to it, for its political maneuvering of not just cricket  alone, in other fields as well on the pretext of friendly nations and our politicians and the State leaders has become bulls of Indian Bullock Cart, just shake their heads and pull it the Indian way all along. 
India was successful in unequivocal terms in pressuring the Sri Lanka Cricket for suddenly inserted rehearsal tours just before three major ICC tournaments, to the total dissatisfaction and displeasure of the players and this has become a continuous menace. If Sri Lanka Cricket administration cannot stand on its own and analyze to foresee the dangers and continue the way colonial time meekly submissions to another Cricket Board, better to surrender totally and play cricket as Associate members of ICC and  play Ranjit Trophy all along with Indian States and attain more benefits from IPL.  

If Sri Lanka Cricket had insisted for DRS in the inserted tours India would have been easily budged off of pressuring Sri Lanka Cricket!

At the moment India using Sri Lanka, most probably through war crimes threat to the good effect to meet its own ends of maneuvering!   Bulls of Sri Lanka for Indian Bullock Cart!!

India also pressurized Sri Lanka to bail out Suresh Raina, when he was found red handed sleeping with a sexy decoy off a prominent bookie. There were no any reciprocal benefit for Sri Lanka from a so called friendly Nation  

 This so called technically superior nation has neither any inclination towards keeping the Decision Referral System nor inclined to put forward an improved version of the present DRS, which other Test playing nations would prefer adhering without any complain whatsoever. Particularly the associate members of the ICC welcome the system with both hands, because the system somewhat annihilates complete monopoly of a full member team over the associate members through wrong umpiring decisions in which umpire psychology always have tendency to favour the full member and more, thus there are greater chances recognizing of cricketing talent from the associate member teams – thank god all ICC organized fixtures are played with DRS system.  

One think is very clear, for the game of cricket to retrieve its’ older tradition being a Gentleman’s Game ICC has to be freed from Indian clutches and England & Australia alone should play pivotal role in ICC structuring as in the good old days, or otherwise all member countries should contribute equal shires.

For Sri Lanka it better to fall on the legs of enemy than on the legs of witness (of ?)
