Respect the Independent Heritage of Jaffna – No enforced  Reconciliation

The weekend attack of Sinhalese students by Tamil students at the University of Jaffna,  has kindled emotions as well as discussions about Reconciliation. The Island article ‘University dons, civil society want govt. to spearhead reconciliation moves’ for example reports:

[Urging the government to take urgent action to bring about reconciliation between Sinhala and Tamil people, especially in the Northern Province, university teachers and several civil organisations yesterday condemned the attack on Sinhala students in the Science Faculty of the Jaffna University.]

The above group  who condemn the attack on Sinhala students are blaming Tamil students. They are judges to the extent they condemn. Their quota of authority runs out at that level. They do not have the authority to then urge the Government to do what they themselves have failed to do in the environments where they are the government. One cannot effectively relate as Government as well as – as Citizen at the same time over the one matter. If one were using theory / law through which to process facts – then one is taking the position of Government. If one were using experience – then one is taking the position of Citizen. The taller of the two structures wins.

A good proportion of Tamils who are still carrying the losses and injuries of racial riots – including at University of Peradeniya would relate to the incident as return karma. My brother was for example attacked by Sinhalese students of his Engineering faculty at the University of Peradeniya, during the 1983 riots. In the case of many, their University life was abruptly ended due to such attacks. So long as they continue to suffer – the return karma  to the perpetrators through the system of Natural Justice cannot be stopped. The return is stronger where the other party suffers quietly on their own – without taking revenge. Where there are such Tamil students and more importantly their families – who invested in their education – the Tamil students who attacked were mere messengers of the system of karma. Condemning them makes the problem worse for Sinhalese. Tamil seniors who share in the pain and loss of their families have the Natural Authority to discipline these students – if they felt it was inappropriate behavior.

As per the above report:

[Senior lecturer in the Colombo University and former President of the Federation of University Teachers’ Associations (FUTA) Dr. Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri said it was not an isolated incident, but the relations between Sinhala and Tamil students in the university had been strained.

He said Sinhala students had formed a Sinhala Student Association and as more students from the south had been sent to the Jaffna University since 2010 and 60% of the undergraduates in the Science Faculty was Sinhala. "Unfortunately, Tamil students as well as Jaffna people thought it was part of a conspiracy."]

Separated from its root – it may seem unfortunate but any non-Tamil coming to Jaffna that continues to suffer due to the war – would be unwise if they expect to be treated on Equal basis as a Tamil. Each one of us carries her/his Truth within. We may use our external knowledge to not let our Truth surface before our duty. But when one is pushed beyond the limit – and the limit is low in youth on both sides – Truth manifests Itself.

In a Nation that has committed itself to Reconciliation – it is the duty of every person who has  the higher position in a relationship with the other race - to ‘lose’ the difference in status – so that the two sides are seen to be Equal in current matters. No Reconciliation can happen without production of independent outcomes. To be independent the producers need to be allocated equal status. If Kandyan Dance was allowed to happen due to the will of Sinhalese students – Jaffna University – which is a Tamil University – would have lost connection to its roots. This devalues the University, the Northern Province and Sri Lanka as a Nation.

As per my knowledge, there is no law in Sri Lanka through which one could be marked wrong as a racist. Hence thinking Equal is not part of the Sri Lankan training. In fact, the students of Jaffna to whom University of Jaffna is ‘home-university’ were not themselves trained to think equal in terms of caste. Hence each one is as per her/his own Truth – which is a Universal connector.

 Equal Opportunity principles are already built into Thesawalamai Law. A law expert of Sri Lanka said when asked here in Sydney at a meeting of the Sri Lanka Reconciliation Forum – that there was no need for Equal Opportunity laws in Sri Lanka because the other laws covered the subject matter.  I gave it serious thought. Where a nation which is low on intake of migrants introduces Equal Opportunity laws – it is likely to be disadvantaged relative to a Nation that requires new migrants to be competitive in global markets. Where our Muthusum (inheritance) is stronger than our Thediya Thettam (acquired wealth) – we would need Diversity more than Equality – so our inheritance is not damaged by new comers. It’s the respect we show our heritage that protects inherited wealth. Within a Nation this true law applies to areas like Jaffna that have long been low on immigration – largely due to lack of natural resources.

Jaffna University has Inherited Intelligence developed by Hindu Tamils. As per my knowledge there is no Church, Mosque or Buddhist temple at the University. The presiding deity is Lord Natraj (Dancing Shiva). The logo of the University carries  the wisdom of Thiruvalluvar - that one must seek and find Truth. Hence if the Truth is that the owners of the University used Hindu-Tamil pathways to realizing Truth – then that University’s Muthusum (Heritage) is Hindu-Tamil. When this is respected the University will require less current resources to maintain itself. University of Jaffna is the parallel of Australian Catholic University (ACU)  – each as per its diverse heritage. If some new students at ACU insisted on using Aboriginal art forms – on equal footing to Catholic art forms – then it is an attack on ACU’s heritage and Catholic students have the right and duty to defend that heritage from such ‘foreign’ attacks.

Each person/institution/nation – develops its own true pathway through its Truth. If that Truth is uncomfortable – one tends to live through external means. One who uses Truth – be it pleasant or unpleasant – as the preferred pathway –would always find Peace within that Home Truth. Tamils of Jaffna need their own Truth within which to find their own Peace. They have earned that right through their development of cultural heritage. The previous government of Sri Lanka rejected outsiders during the height of the war on the basis that they were eliminating Terrorists. Where were  the Equal Opportunity pundits then to ensure that the Tamils had to produce their own objectively measurable  unlawful outcomes in attack – before they could be punished en masse?

The Prescription Ordinance of  Sri Lanka provides that one who Believes and occupies land for 10 years or more and does so through a title independent of   or adverse to the legal titleholder  –is the real owner.   Jaffna has travelled independent of Central Administration – as far back as our mind can stretch. Hence one could claim that those parts of Jaffna which are based on Tamil heritage are owned by Tamils and the laws applicable are their own customary laws. Protecting their ownership of that heritage is the duty of not only every Tamil student but all to whom Northern Province is ‘home’.

Sinhalese students who are ‘foreigners’ to that area were invaders when they insisted on Kandyan Dance at Common function. If those students use the true law applicable to  the University – in an Academic environment – they would  find this true law and discipline themselves. THAT us what a University is about. Jaffna was not Terra Nullius when Sinhalese rulers arrived. One of the ways in which new arrivals can prevent injustice on their part is to pay homage to the 1^st settlers who have made that part of the world – their ‘home’ as per their Truth. Traditional owners are higher owners and there can be no question of reconciliation. One just has to bow one’s head when in that territory. Colombo is common and hence needs Reconciliation.

Even in terms of money – inherited money has stronger influence on our self-confidence than current savings due to the mind connection with our ancestors. Those Nations that need new settlers need Equal Opportunity laws – so as to be competitive with others of their times. The two should not be indiscriminately mixed if one seeks real and lasting peace. Using Equal Opportunity principles through which to evaluate this Jaffna problem – is a clear example of plagiarism – most unbecoming of  all institutions/minds  of Higher Education.

Sinhala Terrorism & Sri Lankan Constitution

This morning I read the article ‘The White Western Community Identifies an Augusto Pinochet in Sri Lanka’ by Gandara John forwarded to me by an Australian of Sinhalese origin. My response was ‘I go by my experience-based intuition but shall take note of what others have to say’.  The passionate denial of the current Prime Minister of Sri Lanka – the Hon Ranil Wickremasinghe - his leadership dues -  is apparent in that article. The opening lines go as follows:

‘In the background of events of 1983 and 1987 and in the context of RW being EW’s son, the White Western Community saw a silver lining in this dark scenario; political analysts say that this community identified RW as having the potential of one of their all time favourites, Augusto Pinochet, the one time Dictator of Chile’

As per Wikipedia ‘Ranil Wickremasinghe is the second son of Esmond and Nalini Wickremasinghe. Esmond Wickremasinghe was a press baron, an ex-Samasamajist and supremo of the Lake House group of newspapers. His paternal uncle Lakshman Wickremasinghe was a Bishop of the Church of Sri Lanka. His maternal line consisted of newspaper barons and landowners, the Wijewardenas, who were Sinhala Buddhists.’

A true Sri Lankan would have looked for ancestral connections to work out that part of the natural causal forces of manifestation that are not obvious nor could be worked out through common logic. By relating to Augusto Pinochet and the ‘White Western Community’ – the writer confirms he is not connected to the heart of Sri Lanka. Yet he is writing as if he is the king of Sri Lanka. On 15 August last year – which was India’s Independence Anniversary – this ‘foreigner’ posted the ‘interview’ in Appendix – through LankaWeb. The last line confirms that this is  political propaganda:

‘The people can defeat Ranil, the TNA, the US and Sirisena, all four at once, by simply voting for the UPFA.’

I observe also the manifestations of such Political Terrorism in Jaffna at the University of Jaffna.

Terrorism is explained in Wikipedia as follows:

‘Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is defined as the use or threatened use of violence (terror) in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. It is classified as fourth-generation warfare and as a violent crime’

As per the above, the Tamil Tigers who did not survive even one generation are mere instruments of Terrorism Energy / Sins that Sri Lanka carries as One Nation. Sinhalese like the above seem to be carrying the genes of Prince Vijaya who as per the history I learnt – was exiled from India due to his abuse of ruling power. If he were not a prince but a citizen he would have been labeled a Terrorist. Hence in a divided Sri Lanka – Sinhalese carry the Terrorism genes more than Tamils who  migrated from Southern India and who continue to pay tribute to India through their religious and language practices. As I often say – my children become Independent of us  by living the life that shows our common Truth. That is the true confirmation of Independence Heritage. Terrorism genes does not have enough karmic force in Northern Sri Lanka – the birthplace of Tamil Tigers – to survive even half a generation – falling well short of the above four generation requirement. The group that has the karmic soil is the Sinhala only group – the descendants of  Prince Vijaya who carries Ancestral Debt as a person and as king of Sri Lanka.

Wikipedia reports on the genetic value of Sri Lankans as follows:

Within Sri Lanka, the legend of Vijaya is a common  political rhetoric used to explain the origin of the Sinhalese, and is often treated as a factual account of historical events. Sinhalese scholars such as K. M. de Silva have used the legend to propose an Indo-Aryan origin for the Sinhalese, thus distinguishing them from the Dravidian Tamils. A the same time, some Sinhalese authors have also used the myth to oppose Tamil secessionism, arguing that the Sinhalese and the Tamils are one race, because their ancestors included the maidens sent by the Pandyan  king of Madurai. Some Tamil nationalists, on the other hand, have claimed that their ancestors were the Yakkhas massacred by Vijaya. Tamil authors like Satchi Ponnambalam have dismissed the legend as fiction aimed at justifying Sinhalese territorial claims in Lanka.

The various genetic studies on Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamils have offered differing conclusions. R.L. Kirk (1976), for example, concluded that the Sinhalese are genetically closest to the East Indian population of Bengal. N. Saha (1988), however, disagreed with Kirk's findings and concluded that the Sinhalese display a close genetic affinity with the Tamils.

Whether the above is a legend or a myth depends on whether the user has the Experience as if it is part of her/his current life or whether one is plagiarizing / stealing someone else’s work values for self-promotion. When one plagiarizes at wider level – the fall from grace is stronger. This above mentioned promoter of Sinhala race -  Gandara brings to mind – Sakuni – prince of Gandhara kingdom. Sakuni according to that legend  manipulated the mind of Thuriyothanan - the prince of majority members of the Royal family of Hasthinapuram where Sakuni’s sister married the blind elder prince, who had 100 children.

One of the lessons I learnt from Mahabharatha is that those driven by majority status / popularity are often blind to the laws of Justice. They are therefore easily influenced by Sakunis / Gandaras.

According to Wikipedia – the Mahavamsa (Buddhist bible) version says :

‘Vijaya dies without an heir. Panduvasudeva, the son of his twin brother Sumitta, arrives from India, and takes charge of Vijaya's kingdom. The community established by Vijaya gives rise to the Sinhalese race’

To my mind – as per my insight - the closest ancestor by character - of the current Prime Minister – Ranil Wickremesinghe - in Sri Lankan Royalty is Sumitta whose son’s  name Panduvasudeva (Pandu being the victorious brother of the blind prince and Vasudeva being the Surname of Divine Krishna who was the real Power of Pandavar – a minority of five brothers at the physical level – who eventually defeated the majority of hundred.

So long as Tamils believe in Divinity – they would continue to own Sri Lanka in Common or Tamil parts – however small those parts may be.  Remaining a minority is their strength. In the final round of talks – Krishna first asked for the return of  Inthiraprastham (the parallel of Northeastern Sri Lanka) – the Kingdom developed by Pandavas which they lost in a game of dice. (The parallel of changes to the laws of Sri Lanka which eventuated in the birth of Tamil Tigers).  Like the Sinhala Governments fearing Tamils – Thuriyothanan feared that they were asking for half his kingdom. Then Krishna asked for five villages and Thuriyothanan says ‘not even a grain of sand’

That was  the message recently from Sinhalese students at University of Jaffna, whose demands for Kandyan dance has resulted in the indefinite closure of the University:

[Tamil-Sinhalese clash leads to indefinite closure of Jaffna University

By P K Balachandran | Express News Service

‘A violent clash between Tamil and Sinhalese students of Jaffna University last Saturday has led an indefinite closure of the university, the only institution of higher learning in Sri Lanka’s Tamil-majority Northern Province.   

Four Sinhalese students were injured, one of them seriously, when students belonging to the two communities attacked each other following a sharp difference of opinion over allowing Kandyan dancing in a function to welcome new entrants to the Science Faculty.

As per the time-honored tradition, the Tamils in the Science Faculty wanted to welcome freshers with “mela thaalam” (traditional nadaswaram and thavil music). But the Sinhalese students insisted that Kandayan dancing, which is performed in welcoming ceremonies among the Sinhalese in South Sri Lanka, be included.  ]

Krishna warned the blind king of majority – that if he insisted on  keeping the whole – he would lose not only the land but also his heirs. The king’s desires overrode his faith in Divinity. Sinhalese fear of ‘foreign’ takeovers – is the parallel of the above.

Had Sinhalese paid their dues to their ancestors – they would have become independent of them and yet – inclusive of their good values.

The above Sinhalese students were terrorizing Northern Sri Lanka and were invoking the reactionary forces in that area due to their ‘enforcement’ genes. When a strength or weakness is beyond the control of the person/group – they become genes – paavam (sins) and punniyam (virtues). In terms of the person – the person carries it as her/his mental & mental structure and the horoscope shows it. In terms of the group – the Land carries it – as part of its True Constitution.

Every culture that lasts beyond one generation or beyond one sovereign geographic area – belongs in Common to all generations living in any part of the globe. Those who restrict it to one place or group by force – develop terrorism genes. All ‘foreigners’ who funded anti-Terrorism against the wrong group in Sri Lanka – invoke the terrorism genes. THEY are the foreign agents working against Sri Lanka’s Peace.

Gandara John interviews Citizen Perera
Posted on August 15th, 2015

1.    Why did Sirisena dissolve parliament?

To save Ranil from disgrace and investigation.

2.            What was the disgraceful thing that Ranil did?

That he colluded with Arjuna Mahendran on the Treasury bill scam

3.            Sirisena by saving Ranil was he not harming the country?

Yes he was; to Sirisena Ranil was more important than the country.

4.            Is that Sirisena’s position even today?

Sirisena’s speech and his recent letter is with the aim of helping Ranil.

5.            Does it not mean that Sirisena is openly attempting to ruin the chances of the UPFA candidates standing for election?

Yes, he is trying to ruin the chances of the UPFA candidates standing for election.

6.            Why would Sirisena want to do that?

Sirisena wants the UNP candidates to come into parliament.

7.            Is Sirisena not working against his own party and its candidates?

Of course he is; Ranil must win to implement the plan with the TNA.

8.            What is that plan?

To give to the TNA the gift Ranil had given the LTTE through the CFA, PTOMS and the ISGA and what Mahinda had to take back by force when he defeated the terrorists.

9.            What gifts did Ranil give through the CFA, PTOMS and the ISGA?

1/3^rd of the island; 2/3^rd of the Sri Lankan coast line and an interim self governing mechanism for ten years

10.          How can it be said that Ranil wants to give back what Sri Lanka won at war?

Read the TNA manifesto and the Hindu news report and see what Sambandan is saying. The TNA is important for Ranil  to come into power as Ranil has to please the US.

11.          Is it true that Ranil has invited US forces to set up a base in Sri Lanka?

It is not known whether Ranil has done so. What is known however is that Ranil has signed an agreement with the US government that US soldiers if accused of committing war crimes in Sri Lanka will not be prosecuted or handed over to the ICC. Why would he do that if US forces are not fighting in Sri Lanka.

12.          How could Ranil do this when he intends prosecuting Sri Lankan soldiers for war crimes in Sri Lankan courts with foreign judges?

It is morally incorrect. Ranil intends to prosecute Sri Lankan soldiers in Sri Lankan courts manned by foreign judges; the courts are described as hybrid courts.

13.          Why is Sirisena permitting all this to happen?

Because Ranil knows Sirisena’s secret he committed when he went abroad in Nov 2014.

14.          What was the secret?

Ranil knows that Sirisena met Arjuna Mahendran and Mahendran knows Sirisena met him.

15.          Is Arjuna Mahendran a powerful figure?

Well, Mahendran is close to Ranil and convicted terrorist financier Raj Rajaratnam who is also very close to Karunanayake; besides with Mahendran’s banking experience he knows and has the clout to make money disappear into secret Swiss and offshore banking accounts.

16.          Is the Central Bank in safe hands?

The Tamil terrorists have today very strong links to the Central Banking system of Sri Lanka and some of them who were put to graze have now been brought in as advisors.

17.          In the backdrop of all this what type of government do we have?

The government describes itself as Yahapalanaya. The people describe it as Yalpalanayam.

18.          It is quite obvious that the people are angry with the government. How can they remedy the situation?

Sirisena has sensed the anger of the people and has a premonition of what the people will do; hence the letter. The people can defeat Ranil, the TNA, the US and Sirisena, all four at once, by simply voting for the UPFA.

Gajalakshmi Paramasivam- 18 July 2016

In Whose Name Lord Naseby?

‘So would you endorse Ministers using luxury plus plus cars?’ was the question raised by a Sri Lankan  whose feedback is valuable to me. The feedback was in relation to my yesterday’s article - Thinking Small Minister?. My response to the above question was ‘It depends on the portfolio of each Minister. This one had the duty to take the highest class – to demonstrate internal ownership and the conduct that goes with it. But if he were the Minister for Islamic Religious Affairs – no.  I would have expected him to travel economy.’

Then this morning my attention was drawn to the Island article ‘Unfair to insist Sri Lanka to include foreign judges to probe alleged war crimes’ – Lord Naseby

When UK uses its own judges to inquire into Iraqi invasion’

Lord Naseby is reported to have said in this regard at the House of Lords:

[The Chilcot inquiry’s assessment was undertaken by British judges and members of the Privy Council. No foreign judges were called in to do this assessment. We see how well it has been done. In Sri Lanka, there was a war against the terrorists, the Tamil Tigers. However, instead of its being assessed against the Geneva convention, to which I have just referred, the UK and US Governments have endorsed investigation by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights with the addition of foreign judges.

"This is wrong and misconceived. After all, there is a reasonable number of fair-minded judges across the ethnic groups who could undertake the task of judging what happened against the principles of the Geneva convention.

"If the UK Government really want to help, they should release the full text of the dispatches of our military attaché there during the war, Lieutenant-Colonel Gash, containing his independent observations. The Ministers here will know that for two years I have been trying to obtain these under the Freedom of Information Act. However, so far I have received some 30 pages of those dispatches, provided reluctantly, some very heavily redacted.]

Using the same values as I did to respond to the Luxury car question – I would say that Lord Naseby is wrong. First of all – Lord Naseby is revealing that to his mind, Tamil Tigers were Terrorists. If Tamil judges were part of the Judicial team and they referred to the Tigers as Terrorists - then they would be considered ‘traitors’ by that part of the Tamil Community that needs ‘closure’ at Global level -  so they would not feel less than another Sri Lankan of a different race. Tamils as a Community need to know that the International Community that promoted the use of  ‘Terrorism’ label is Accountable for the excessive pain and suffering that parents and families of the Tamil Tigers endured due to ‘foreign’ interference in the name of Global participation. To the extent the UN failed to address the Sri Lankan ethnic problem through the  Equal Opportunity values that the UN is committed to, it did not have the mandate to ‘judge’ in the ‘internal affairs’ of Sri Lanka. Now that it has – it has the responsibility to maintain the International Resource commitment right through to the end.

 Only one who has earned that qualification to take the ‘judge’s seat’ has the authority to Judge. As per my experience, Sri Lankan judges are good in Common areas – but not in Equal Opportunity issues. If they were – the Sri Lankan judiciary would have progressively  righted the wrongs by the Executive and there would have been no space for  Tamil Tigers to be born within the Tamil Community. The Lankan Judiciary torn between British and Roman Dutch laws on the one side and Customary laws on the other – falls well short of the ability needed for this job. The British gave form to these laws and hence they were able to inquire into the problem with reasonable logic that the average British could follow. Most Sri Lankan judges enjoying high status would have copied the laws and the outer language  of judgments including those delivered during Colonial times but not have a feel of ownership in those laws. It’s when we feel ownership that we connect to the core purpose of the institution / nation and therefore the laws through which we show rights and wrongs.

As during Colonial times in Sri Lanka now also  each side would use its ‘Customary’ thinking to judge its side and unless there is a Common law developed or inherited – used by a true Sri Lankan in such issues – the judgments do not have enough height to be raised to the global level. Sinhalese need Sinhalese judgment; Tamils need Tamil Judgment and Sri Lankans need Global Judgment through Common Law practiced by Sri Lankans. There is no jurisdiction by one group into the other.

In this issue, British have to go through the UN – however weak the UN may be. UN positions are strong and one who relates to the position – would successfully resolve the problem for the global minded citizen. Otherwise they need firm working relationships with Sri Lankan Government on the one hand and the TNA as the Leading Opposition in Parliament – on the other. Where there has been money and status movements between the two nations – positions need to be taken and anyone needing the authority of the Nation to get involved – needs to first go through that position – even if the one in that seat is an seens as an enemy. Sri Lankan Politicians bow to the Buddhist Priests for this reason. But there is no parallel of this for Hindu and Muslim Ministers in Parliament. But to the extent minorities understood and accepted this need by Sinhala Politicians – and performed as per their positions – with lesser resources than their Sinhalese counterparts – they became owners before the pampered race. Hence the Equal Opposition position in Parliament held by Tamils. Those who truly feel ownership, work the Natural Forces of the institution/Nation. The average citizen needs to ‘see’ the true status through appropriate structures – which the current government has been doing – albeit largely due to the UNP than the SLFP which continues to carry the sins of  Sinhala  only desires.  

In terms of the Sri Lankan war – if  Sinhalese  were the parallel of the British in the Iraq war – Tamils are the parallels of Iraqis. If Sri Lanka is expected to conduct its own inquiry that would effectively require Sinhalese Judge to Judge the Rajapaksa Government. We already have the Paranagama inquiry which may be useful to Sinhalese but Tamils are not likely to touch it with a barge pole. If we accepted it as being common – then it is to say that Kandyan Law is applicable to Jaffna instead of the beautiful Thesawalamai Law and its descendants.

In terms of war – Hindus have religious leadership through Lord Krishna and  Tamil Hindus – Lord Muruga. To the extent we genuinely worship these minds in the form of  Deities we would naturally know how to lead a Dharmic/Righteous war. Sinhalese, majority of whom are Buddhists would need special education towards this. The other day someone forwarded to me the speech by Judge Ilancheliyan delivered when his guru passed away. There Judge Ilancheliyan pays tribute to his guru, through identity with Mahabharatham leaders – Bhishmar and Thronar. Bhishmar was of Ruling class and Thronar was of Anthanar class – which class  as per my understanding is required to  renounce worldly enjoyment to develop a steady mind which becomes the seat of wisdom. This mind shared through training in  Gurukulam (Home of Guru). When it came to judging internally - in relation to fighting skills – the Guru ranked above the king – for example Thronar above Bhishmar. In the Sri Lankan parallel  – General Fonseka ruled above President Rajapaksa.  When it came to leading armies to fight against external enemies – Ruler ruled above Guru – in this instance Bhishmar ruled above Thronar.  In the Sri Lankan war – the celebrations ought to have been by General Fonseka and that too ‘internally’. By using it for political purposes – Mr. Rajapaksa lost power with the global judges. In Judge Ilancheliyan’s case – in terms of his current position as Judge of the High Court of Jaffna  – he is Bhishmar in terms of Colombo and Thronar in terms of Jaffna. In terms of war crimes inquiry he would need to use Common Law and in terms of Tamil Tigers and Tamil victims of war – he would need to use Customary Laws applicable to that local area – if he seeks to uphold Dharma/Righteousness.

To qualify to expect a  Tamil judge on the Sri Lankan inquiry panel, Sir Naseby needed to have insisted in British Parliament – for a Muslim Judge actively practicing Islam in Britain – to head the inquiry into Iraq war.   Otherwise such advice  reveals  – ‘do what I say and not what I do’ attitude. The cure is to process suggestions through the parallel in UN – the common body and use UN laws and principles OR one’s own Truth through direct experience which even I can use with authority
