Sri Lanka It's Happening

March 2, 2004

Minority is the most abused word in this country. It is used by all those who deal in communal politics to divide and rule. These same parties are strongly opposed to any sort of devolution of power saying that it will leade to a devision of the country. But the country is already devided along lines of race, religion, caste and language.

These barriers were all elected by the politians who care not for the people of the country but fattening themselves by dipping their hands into the state coffers. These rabble rousers will stoop to any length to raise ethnic tension and get a few extra votes from the chauvinists.
