If you're a Sri Lankan and If you can read these words, 99% of the chance that is thanks to free education. The Hon. Minister C. W. W. Kannagara was pioneered in making the education free to everyone. Which allowed common people to access the knowledge which was limited to elites before. Education was a privilege of English speaking elites of Ceylon (Old Sri Lanka) and having introduced free education system was the end of their monopoly. And many people from common grounds were benefited from that and escalated their living standards to high levels over the past few decades. In fact many generations benefited.
At the same time the likes of Sharmini Serasinghe, Diana Pereira pseudo high class families were blocked from getting the cheap labour from lower class and this rage is clearly be seen below.
Quite obviously these 2 ladies are not happy with everyone getting free education. See how they consider doctors.
Following is the most concerned one, personally the most favorite as I couldn't think of how a person can go this lower. Only it explains how they are boiling inside about common people from rural areas are getting free education and coming to bigger places in the society
PATHETIC!
Dr. Ranga Weerakkody writes:
"In early Ceylon a form of pseudo-apartheid was in action. The Colombo and the Jaffna elite were gobbling up almost all the ripe fruits of the labor of the ordinary people. I am not going to describe how these elitist have become “elite” – by laying low to the British – but in next eight decades the things changed gradually.
It was 1956, native language education, which opened the doors of the state service for the commoners. Even then, the Colombo and Jaffna elite have managed to keep their distance with the middle class because of the English knowledge they had. Things started to change around late 90s. By now, “Children of 56” have produced offspring, who were pretty good with the command of English, and have started countering the elite, using the language they understand.
Parallel to this, the social recognition to learned people was growing. It was growing so much that the “elite” of the educated middle class like lecturers, Judges, Doctors etc, was treated with much more importance than, the aging, arrogant and inept “Walaw Lamathanis”
Sharmini Serasinghe’s and Diana Pereira’s issue lies here. They expect “gode bayiyaas” to counter them with Sinhalese filth, but once it was done eloquently in English, where their fans also could understand, they lost it. These “Lamathanis” never expected “Gode Bayiyas” to counter them in English, and once they realized it was free education that lead to this, both of them went ballistic about it. The worst part of it is, the third generation – our children – will be annihilating them, in the language they know. There is no escape for them. And luckily for our children, most of these half humans will be dead by then.
Sharmini Serasinghe, Daina Pereira and the goons and fans belong to a species of creatures that should be eradicated like the small pox virus. WHO and a certain Edward Jenner was there to eradicate the pox, unluckily for us there is no such organization to eradicate these archaic “Walaw” remnants from the society. They pose a risk to the society more than the variola, or the pox virus."
