Giving Sri Lanka a religion was the biggest help we Indians made.

Suraj you are absolutely right.I wonder what would have happened to the Sinhalese if we had not given them the Buddhism.

Dr Sharma Sunday, 29 April 2018 12:02 AM

Yet the Sinhalese are not grateful to us.

Manel Sunday, 29 April 2018 03:17 AM

I don't agree with you Dr.Sharma. Don't you remember we cheered your team during cricket tournaments.

Even new year is from south india.

Sorry mate. We did not get a religion from India. We where shown the way to a great philosophy by a Nepal born Indian.

Prakash Sunday, 29 April 2018 05:47 PM

Buddha gave you the philosophy which is called Buddhism.And that is your religion.Be thankful to India.

Hypocrisy! If malaigawa and temples can accept this HC on number of occassions with turban,why do they refuse entry to SL muslims and tourist muslims with cap and hijab?

Eraj Sunday, 29 April 2018 10:11 AM

Because muslims and islam will overcome their religion so they are scared.

Kingsley Wijesinhe Sunday, 29 April 2018 07:06 AM

You also gave us the LTTE.

Sinhalaese Sunday, 29 April 2018 07:57 AM

Suraj,There are many other religions or may be we would have invented our own.

Abbi Sunday, 29 April 2018 08:20 AM

They can give this worthless stock and may ask for part of harbour in return

Jesus Sunday, 29 April 2018 10:23 AM

Hinduism and Budisam teachings are a joke at time

Mayank Wednesday, 02 May 2018 03:20 PM

There is no such thing called god. And religion is to make people sheeps to follow the instructions.
