| Abstract | Venerable Akuretiye Nanda has made a good content analysis of the statements of the Mahanayakas on the civil war in Sri Lanka between 1999 and April 2002. His analysis points out that the Mahanayakas take the view that
a) the conflict is due to terrorism
b) the LTTE is a terrorist organization
c) the right of the Sinhalese should be protected 1) resettlement in Jaffna (including new Sinhalese，Tamil and Muslim settlements in Vavuniya, Mullaitivu，Kilinochchi 2) rights of fishermen
d) Norway has supported Tamil Terrorism (P3)
e) oppose talks with LTTE (P3)
f) there is justifiable distrust of and revulsion against the acts of Velupillai Prabaharan who does not represent all Tamils (P9)
g) separatism and even a federal state are undesirable (possibility of invasion by a Tami State (P2)
h) the solution is the eradication of terrorism(P3)
To bring lasting peace to the Sri Lankan territory all its inhabitants should honour the concept of a unitary form of state where the equal tights and privileges apply to all Sri Lankans. This alone and nothing else is the lesson of the statements of the Mahanayakas. |
