Post war Reconciliation is a must we can’t deny. As a Sri Lankan, I am not happy about the effort and energy of Government regards reconciliation and accountability. Efforts have to be proved honest and strong. Otherwise you will never win the hearts of old Enemies. Unintelligent, Politically immature heart less brainless People may argue based to various racial roots that there is no such need.Obviously no need of power devolution or convolution as such, if the genuine intention is to console the damped worried injured hearts and reunion the nation. To gain the hearts, it is a must to show RESPECT and have PARTICIPATION. Taking best examples from legendary heroes: Dutugemunu, Dambadeni Parakrmabahu – so n so; the best practice after war is that they even allowed respecting the fallen enemy leaders. You can’t just mechanically delete the memories about them from the hearts of their own people. They are still heroes to their group, similarly like we love our war heroes. Strategically to develop the mutual understanding and respect, government must well use sports, which never have happened at any scale so far. Those days British Colonialist effectively used sports to diminish the caste discrimination, and racial gap in order to have a powerful loyal group to their administration and so called Ceylonese governance. One must also read how famous Nelson Mendela used rugby to fight against color based racism at SA. Today SA is one such strong economy with highest Aids population. Kidding … grin emoticon. Point is efforts have to be genuine. Mendela never put his sons in to the rugby team and put every rupee he has to higher best coaches and best facilities only to rugby to best entertain the kid’s dreams. One must also listen to Mendela’s word to the rival All Blacks. Once we travel right round the country, we can see there are Cities like Jaffna, Batti, Mannar, Trinco – where you find youth with fantastic build, football skills and sporting spirit. Time not to display shamelessly your own banners right round the country to show off how you and your baby brothers play rugby dear NR. Time is high to show your maturity and give the opportunity to the capable breed. That way you get better chance than sucking every opportunity greedily like now. Nation needs matured, battle harden visionary leaders, not the show loving childish cubs who just dance for the cheap gallery.
