Caste System is Endemic in Ceylon
I am making this because a guy in YouTube shows naked aggression.
Just before the election, I had a pieces here stating that J.V.P.'s political failure was it was cast based from the very beginning.
I removed that piece 48 hours before the presidential election and predicted that this time round J.V.P. would get 45% of the vote and there going to be count of the second preference.
In the general election they got the floating vote but could not top the 2.9 millions, the previous best which Gotabaya got.
British of course took grand steps to stem this tendency and their University system was the instrument.
But system persisted in a different way.
The villages were named according to the cast.
This persist to this day.
The name did not sound the caste.
British used this Divide and Rule System.
We are still divided but on ethnic and religious grounds.
1. City of Kandy
2. Church and the school
The Roman Catholic School made no discrimination in admission to the school but Muslim did not enter.
I stated my schooling there but did not last due to Mettanada's exposed Catholic Action to the Public.
Nobody could get a Government job unless on is a Catholic.
There was sinister attempt to make me to change my religion when I was under 16 years.
I resisted.
I wanted to be without any religion.
There was a caste here with political power and money.
The were called Rajapaksa.
All the land belonged to them.
Of course British had given them free.
3. Udagama
Where the Village council was located.
4. Pallegama or 2nd mile post
This is from where I came from. All the white collar job people resided in this region including the Chief Justice Thalgodapitiya.
5. Maddegama
Where the cemetery was located.
It belonged to the "Hewa Gam" or the dancers of the Kandy Perehara.
The first guy to enter the University came from this village but he could not get a job for over 5 years.
He worked part time in the Department of Pali (which J.R.J. destroyed and currently Ranil is hell bent in doing so) but ended up as a school teacher.
He was a very nice guy.
Just to say how British University help without discrimination in our time until Cyril Mathews introduced a new scheme of university admission.
I entered university before this scheme.
6. Coloniya Colony
Where poor people were located. It was a Tea Estate abandoned.
I have seen
7. Thuna Kanuwas or 3rd Mile Post
Where all the thugs were located and they also aligned to a party and their name was Pathirana.
This family was was decimated over time.
8. Another guy from place in between 2nd and third mile post entered university before me and he ended up as the Professor of medicine in Galle University.
I did not know where he is now. He was my elder brother's class mate.
I used to wear the typical Peradeniya Beard as a Medical Student but cut it when J.V.P. adopted this style.
I was never a supporter of J.V.P.
D.J.V.P. under the behest of Indian RAW put me in their kill list.
I was the fourth to be kill by them.
My crime I was working for I.M.M.I (Water Management Company).
This was a ploy by America to own our water resources.
India opposed this project that is why they wanted to kill me.
Funny part is now Indian is a strong ally of America.
8. Guru Gama or Gurudeniya for Royal Astrologers
Haragama is located here where last King escaped from Kandy through and underground tunnel to Mada Maha Nuwara where he was trapped and caught.
Please not when the first battalion of British Soldiers entered the tunnel water from Maha Weli was diverted and all were drowned. Read my book on Ceylon at Amazon where I have given a rough account of this SAGA.
Do not believe the British account.
By the way, the first Suicide Bombers came from Kandy Soldiers.
Inside Kithul palm trees the hid with improvised bomb material and when British guys decided to rest on them, they were blasted with the Suicide Bomber.
L.T.T.E borrowed this technique but improved it to high effect.
