Racism & Ignorance

[The Joint Opposition (JO) announced that they would apply pressure on the Speaker to hand over the position of the Leader of the Opposition to them. They would also canvass heavily in this connection within the Parliament, and elsewhere, both locally and internationally. ] Ceylon Today article - Jo to apply pressure on Speaker

To most readers the above may not mean racism. It does to me. When our brain is used to ‘avoiding’ the rule of law, there is no order in our thinking. Then the order that ‘happens’ in a ‘free’ environment is the Truth of the person and that Truth manifests Itself when there is someone in need in that environment, for such manifestation.

I realised this when the New South Wales Police listed me as ‘Sri Lankan’ despite my protests that I was Australian by law. The police were already brainwashed by senior administrators of the University of NSW who failed to uphold my position as per my earned credits on merit basis – which was already endorsed by the Medical faculty of the University through actual experience. Given that the police officers were juniors in academic investment, it was easy for academics carrying high social status to manipulate the thinking of the average police officer. Once a person is demoted by her/himself, the demoting authority controls that person’s mind. When that happens outside merit basis, then it is subjective power by that authority. The authority may not consciously know this but what comes out in that ‘free-environment’ – meaning free of merit based application of rule of law, is the Truth that that person in authority thinks less of a person and/or has become the medium through whom someone is manifesting the effects of unlawful demotion.

How does one then measure whether such was indeed racial discrimination or expression of common ego?

The law enforcement authority has the right to interpret the law and act as per the law, until proven they are wrong at the higher level. But it is the victim’s right to express how s/he received the actions/words at that time, at that place. The higher authority concerned may or may not accept and include that in their reasoning. Unless there is equal footing on which such expression of belief is included in the mind of the decision making authority, the manifested outcome would not uphold democracy.

Section 9 (1) of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 of Australia includes this ‘effects based’ assessment as follows:

[It is unlawful for a person to do any act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.]

A simple application of the stated law in the name of  which I was found guilty of ‘trespass’ by the University Administrators through the Police, would have resulted in a truly lawful outcome that I was ‘not guilty’. To my mind, it was ‘peaceful assembly’ of non-cooperation.  I proved this in Court after attending the proceedings at that court and working out how their mind functioned. But they actions continued because there was no lawful measure within the authorities concerned.

But Truth being what it is – I had the parallel of ‘foreign judges’ recommended by the UN to the Sri Lankan Government. Mine needed no recommendation. The summary of my book ‘Naan Australian’ is presented as follows by the National Library of Australia:

[History of a race discrimination case towards an Australian Tamil citizen of Sri Lankan origin by University of New South Wales.]

I now thank the Natural Energies that work independent of me also to uphold the Truth to the extent of my own investment in Truth.  

To my mind the Tamil National Alliance became the Leading Opposition in Sri Lankan National Parliament through such an Energy. That manifestation confirmed that (1) Tamils were unjustly discriminated against and (2) by absorbing that pain without taking revenge they were/are able to work the system from within. This is also the power of One citizen who believes. In essence if even one Sri Lankan who believes s/he is Sri Lankan and expresses that without fearing ‘outcomes’ the environment in which s/he has ownership investment – will become the medium through which that Truth is upheld.

As per the above report:

[The JO is presently in discussions to ...embark on a series of protests calling for the removal of the Leader of the Opposition, Rajavarothiam Sampanthan from the post owing to the JO’s lack of confidence in him, United People’s Freedom Alliance Matara District Parliamentarian Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena told Ceylon Today.]

The Hon Rajavarothiam Sampanthan is taken to believe he is Sri Lankan – until we know otherwise. As the representative of the victims of the ethnic war – who believe that they underwent the pain due to being Tamils, Mr Sampanthan carries the power if he needs the support of fellow Sri Lankans and the International community that has invested in racial equality, to manifest the investment made by the global community in the system of democracy. Using majority rule at the numbers level – is to oppose the Natural Energy of true investors in Democracy.

The Joint Opposition is expected to lack confidence in  Tamil National Alliance who were divided due to ruling by benefits and not by law. This happened not only by Tamils of Sri Lanka, but also by India’s investment in democracy which would naturally oppose China’s invasion through ports such as Hambantota in Southern Sri Lanka, which was leased to China for 99 years due to commitments made by the Rajapaksa Government.

One who tries to fool her/his own community by demoting a truly equal opposition, ends up fooling her/himself . It is the sense of  Independence that  one feels that makes one Equal to a group that is apparently larger by numbers. The other side needs at least one such independent person to prevent that return karma. In this instance, the Joint Opposition that in spirit is led by Mr Rajapaksa needs such a member to prevent such return which could seriously damage Southerners more than Northerners who are protected by India’s Natural forces through common investment in Hinduism.

The signs are surfacing through Hindu Temple Kathirgamam, a sacred area close to Hambantota, as follows:

[The Basnayake Nilame of Ruhuna Kataragama Devalaya, D. P. Kumarage had been suspended from his post, Minister of Buddha Sasana Gamini Jayawickrama Perera said today.]

The first question that comes to my mind is ‘Is Kathirgamam Temple- Ruhuna Kataragama Devalaya- Hindu or  Buddhist?’ If Hindu, why is the Minister for Buddha Sasana representing the Government in this issue? If Buddhist why is the presiding Deity Lord Muruga – who represents Hindu philosophy and not Buddha?

Belief renders one perfect order. Chinese have never sung the praise of Kathirgamam. Indian Tamils have. One could therefore follow logic in Mr Mahinda Rajapaksa losing power in Hambantota and running to Kurunegala where Lord Buddha is the Presiding Deity – as part of  Natural post-war restructure. It would be unwise to disturb that natural displacement by unlawfully ousting the Hon Rajavarothiam Sampanthan who represents Hindu Tamils also.

 The Rajapaksa clan are indebted to those who invested in Democratic rule for enjoying the ruling position in Sri Lanka. Seeking to takeover  the leading Official Opposition position in Parliament would be disastrous to them. If they truly believe – all they have to do is invoke Article 9 of the Constitution and therefore ‘Buddhism foremost’ and the masses would deliver as per their belief. But before then they must renounce their claim that Sri Lanka is a Sovereign  nation, measured through the system of Democracy.
