I am deeply grateful to the Bernard Soysa Centenary Commemoration Committee and to Professor Tissa Vitarana , in particular, for inviting me to give this prestigious Oration. And I am thankful to H.E.Shri Y. K. Sinha, the High Commissioner for India and to the India-Sri Lanka Foundation for facilitating my coming, the first since I left its shores twelve years ago.
