There are milestones in the history that change the path of the country.
1948, 1956 and 1972 marked very important millstone in SL politics.
But it was 1977 that was the beginning of very unfortunate path which got two peaks at 1983 (communal black clashes) and 1988 (JVP insurgency).
JR boast of the powers of being the executive president of socialist republic of Sri Lanka. But this emerald island got the flame of ethnic violance since 1983 and still its burning.
Similarly JR allowed to spread the flame of terrorism, unrest and cultural deserting.
He allowed Tamil terrorism to peak, for which we are still paying the price.
On the other hand, he allowed second JVP insurgency to reap and over 20,000 Sinhala youth paid the price in their lives.
When JR left politics in 1989, he failed to crush either LTTE terrorism or JVP insurgency (which was ultimately crushed by Mr. R. Premadasa) and Indian army had been landed in our mother land. The culture and values of the society was corroded.
In short, both north and south was burning.
What else this old fox could not have done to our mother land? He did all the curse and retired as atypical politician without much of a buzz.
According to 'Ramayanaya', Hanuma has burnt the Helabimma (Sri Lanka) by spreading flames using its tail.
Interestingly, very few seem to be interested or contemplate on these facts. This is a country where thought of the people is regulated by the media which in turn controlled by the political parties.
So no wonder why the 'Hanuma' of the modern era is still having the inflated image of professionalism after dragging this country into flame of terrorism and misery.
