Colombo, April 8 (Daily Mirror) - State Minister for Social Empowerment, Anupa Pasqual has decided to change the names of two traditional games that are played during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year festival.
As per the decision, the game known as "Kana Mutti Bindeema," also known as breaking the pots, will now be called "Wasana Muttiya Bindeema," and "Andayata Kiri Kaweema," also known as "Blindfold Feeding," will be renamed "Sagayata Kiri Keveema."
Speaking at an event in at the President's Media Centre, the Minister highlighted that the traditional games mentioned earlier had been rejected by society and endorsed by the Ministry.
The decision was made to foster a conceptual shift in society's perception of disabled individuals during this year's New Year celebrations.
Furthermore, the Minister announced that all banks participating in the Samurdhi campaign have organized 1,089 New Year celebrations across the country.

This is a very good move. By changing these names the nation will prosper. We should rename Banis Kema as Guna Sampanna Ahara Anubawa Kirima.

Don't know why the traditional name of a game has to be changed. Is it to show that somebody did some work as well? Please don't touch tradition unless there is some urgent requirement or a public outcry to do so, which here there isn't.

Hey don't interfere with anything. These have come down from generations untouched.

There is another popular game, known as the "boru keeme tharangaya", a lying contest, where the person who tells biggest lie wins. This year there will not be a shortage of contestants as the elections are just around the corner. The price will undoubtedly go to one from the pohottuwa or the elephant.
