nestorian cross anuradhapura
Mr. Andrew Scott’s article under the above caption in The Island, 26th December, is based on hearsay and conjecture.
Many are driven to conclude that Christians lived in Anuradhapura in ancient times because of a sunken Relief Cross 2.7/8″ x 31/4″ discovered in the citadel of Anuradhapura by E F Eyreton, the Archaeological Commissioner in 1912. The Cross was found on a square pillar which had been re-used as material for later building.

The term “ethnic cleansing”, incorporated into the English dictionary in 1990s has been extensively used by the international media in relation to the Yugoslav wars and has become a popular phrase from 1992 on-wards.LTTE Terrorists drove a lorry packed with explosives through roadblocks and set off a huge truck bomb outside the Sri Lanka’s holiest Buddhist shrine in central Kandy, killing 13 people and wounding 23. Two toddlers were among the dead. The temple, which houses a sacred tooth of Lord Buddha suffered serious damage from the bomb blast.
There is no formal legal definition of ‘ethnic cleansing’. A broad generalization, however, refers ‘ethnic cleansing’ as forcible deportation of a population and an act of crime against humanity, under the statutes of both International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Criminal Tribunal.

(April 04, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Desperate situations call for desperate measures and desperate measures can leak out material factors that may have begot or moulded certain movements, their hidden agendas and even ultimate intentions. It has been suspected for a long time that the powerful force behind the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was the Catholic Church continuing with the Catholic Portuguese colonial traditions of atrocities and carnage that was led by this church in Sri Lanka.

S. Gurumurthy,NewindpressApril 29 2008 The LTTE suicide squad did plan and eliminate Rajiv Gandhi. But, why did the LTTE do it? Was there a larger conspiracy that extended beyond the LTTE as the strike force?Was the LTTE the author of the crime or the mercenary for some one else or for some purpose that yielded some benefit to it? These questions persisted even after the actual assassins were brought to book.The Narasimha Rao government appointed the Jain Commission to go into the conspiracy angle to the murder.In its interim report the commission did exceedingly good work to bring on record evidence about the political forces involved in promoting the LTTE in Tamil Nadu that made the crime possible.Yet it made a mockery of its main work, the conspiracy angle.

The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, England’s first citizen after the Royals, is on a working tour of India since Oct. 9th. His primary business is church business and consolidating church interests in India. He probably will not visit Khajuraho and the Taj Mahal. But he does intend to visit St. Thomas Mount in Chennai.

The following photos are alarming and raises more questions than answers. Who can explain the connection? There were many Church-based NGOs operating in the North and East throughout the conflict. Many of them had their offices virtually next door to LTTE offices. Audit the monies sent to these organizations throughout 30 years and evaluate against what they had done against what their websites and reports claimed they did. What were they really upto in the North and East when LTTE was running a defacto state using LTTE police, LTTE judiciary, LTTE courts, LTTE schools, LTTE teachers, LTTE curency…? Who can answer?

Abrahamic religions and the violence, expansionism and advocacy of conversion are nothing that can be kept hidden or denied. “Spreading the Good” has led to purging of territories and their wealth and excommunicating natives and their unique cultures.Current fears associated with the repetition of past colonial crimes needs to be empathized in view of the objective of both Christianity and Islam competing for world hegemony. The Church is Christianity’s first soldier and it is becoming more and more evident that behind most terrorists’ activities the Abrahamic religions prevail. LTTE was simply a pawn of the Church to advance a Pan-Christian political agenda that aims to create a satellite Christian autonomous state out of Tamil Nadu and North Sri Lanka (in a Sudan style divide). LTTE’s demise does not mean that ambition is over.

Then he said ‘let us close our eyes and pray’. When we opened our eyes we had the Bible he had the land.”
This is further confirmed by the fact that every British aristocratic family had a lord, a bishop, a businessman in the City, and a landed proprietor, confirming the active part played by Christianity in the colonial system. The church was well and truly involved in the subjugation and exploitation of the people in the colonies, and also had financial interests in the colonial system. It is well-known that the first bank that dealt in multi-currency dealings was the Vatican, to bankroll the money it acquired from the various countries. Colonialism has now been overtaken by Neo-Colonialism, but the part played by the church has not changed. Exploitation can only be continued if the natural cohesion in societies is disrupted by groups aligned to foreign forces. This is the aim of conversion.

There are people who refuse to adapt themselves to the new order but demand the compulsory introduction of English from Standard 2 for the reason that it is the products of English Education that won our freedom. This argument is refuted by no less a person than the first President of the Republic of India in his convocation address to Nagpur University on Tuesday last. President Rajendra Prasad referred to an incident that happened in 1921 and which made him a thorough believer in national education, that is to say, the principle of imparting education through the medium of the mother-tongue. He said: “In those days, the boycott movement of educational institutions established or aided by the Government was at its height. I was touring Orissa in company with Gandhiji. An aged gentleman put a question to Mahatmaji at a big mass meeting. He asked why Gandhiji wanted the educational institutions to be boycotted when, as a matter of fact, the whole freedom movement was but an outcome of that system. He asked whether it was not a fact that such talented people as Lokamanya Tilak and Gandhiji himself were the products of that system. Mahatmaji countered the question by asking whether it was not a fact that there had been only one talented person like Lokamanya Tilak even though the system of English education had been in existence for many years.
1. (C) SUMMARY: Roman Catholic Archbishop Ranjith told
ambassador that pushing the GSL too hard on the war crimes
accountability issue now could destabilize Sri Lankan
democracy and would set back the cause of human rights. He
reasoned that weakening the Rajapaksas — who despite their
public image were relative moderates in the Sri Lankan polity
— could backfire.
