Notwithstanding his rise to ultimate power as a politician in this country, Mahinda Rajapaksa retains the mindset of an uneducated peasant , in this instance from Giruwapattuwa. Despite being one of the most shrewd, and one of the most successful political manipulators in the short independent history of this country, he opts to place his faith in necromancy, soothsaying, the casting of bones and the reading of entrails, rather than in the intelligence of his political sense. This is absolutely no reflection on the Giruwapattuwa peasant who, under all normal circumstances, would be a splendid individual and a decent , honest, law-abiding citizen; that is, until he becomes the President of Sri Lanka.
