This country is neither Sinhala nor Tamil. It belongs to the Veddahs who were the original inhabitors. The least we can do for them is ensure that their human rights are not violated, and that they can practice their way of life in peace.

You are right Fayas, Now all the veddas are wearing national dress. Driving Pajero etc.
