Recognition Of Sinhalese, Tamils &
Muslims As Equal Cultural Nations Might
Be A Solution
(April 12, 2014, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) I did not see anything particularly disagreeable When the NPC Chief Minister, CV Wigneswaran, interpreted the National Question in Sri Lanka As the ‘Question of non-recognition of nations’ On an equal basis, I might add, in the country in his Bernard Soysa memorial lecture recently. If there was any major weakness that was in respect of the binary manner that it was raised in respect of the Sinhalese and the Tamils which can raise and has raised some eyebrows. After all the selection of the topic was not of his own but apparently given by ‘brother Tissa’ as he remarked. His actual topic that day was “Brother Bernard and the National Question.”
