One cannot campare what took place in South Africa to what happend in Sri Lanka. In S/Africa, a small white minority ruled the country with an iron fist with no rights what so ever for the Black majority. In Sri Lanka it was just the opposite, an ethnic minority started a terrorist war on the majority community for imagined wrongs done. If one looks at the Tamil population even today , they are spread all over the southern part of the Island with no discrimination whatsoever. At one time they were in the majority in government offices all over the south. There was no overt discrimination against the Tamils. There may have been individual cases, but then that applies to both ethnic groups. The majority community could not even purchase land in the north. So who was discriminating against whom is the question.?

It is a wrong view that 'thesavalamai law prohibits Sinhalese from purchasing land in the Northern province. The concept what is known as Preemption makes it mandatory that undivided shares should first be ofered to co-owners. If they don't buy it could be sold to anybody.

Magnanimous in victory and that is why Mr Mandela was respected same as Gandhi of India.
It is amazing the great souls that the world seen Gandhi and Mandela were shaped up in South Africa.
By the way, dear editor, yours is wishful thinking!!!

Hussain,
First of all don't hide yourself in another name.
What about Dambulla?
Who told you a others can't purchase land in north? If that is the case how long it will take the state to change the law?
What the 'Thesavalamai' law says is if your are to sell your land you must first check with your relatives and then neighbours before you offer it to outsiders.
Isn't it common sense if you want to sell your ancestral property, you would want to keep that within the family to check with your sibling and then distant relatives before inviting others.
In North it is statue books and elsewhere it is just observed without having in statue book.
