59 years.... (Its back)

We are proud to say we are celebrating the 59th Independence of our Country, Sri Lanka, the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”: as it was called once; but can we be happy my friends? Are we celebrating the Independence we gained or should Western countries celebrate it for getting rid of us? What happened to the country which was self sufficient with rice? What has happened? Why tons of rice is being imported to us? Why are we still a developing country? A was cable to export crops that was in excess after consumption by its citizens? Why do farmers commit suicide today? because they can’t sell their crops? Why can’t a girl go alone on a road in this country these days where it was said a girl can go from Peduruthuduaw to Dewundarathuduwa with a gem in her hand? Why the news papers are full of articles about rape cases murders and so many corruptions? Why there is lot of murder cases, rape cases, and so many other cases queued up in Courts? What has happened to the society which adored each other? What happened to the so called “DHAMMA DEEPAYA”? Did someone come and change it or did we ourselves change it to what it is today? Why is there an ethnic conflict in this small island where so many different races lived in harmony? What has happened to the country which was full of heroes? What if those heroes come back and see the present situation where they struggled to gain Independence from foreign rulers? Will they be merry to see we are paying debts for the people whom they chased away from this precious country of their’s? Actually can we call we are children of mother Sri Lanka anymore with our heads up? Can we my dear friends? In the Constitution Sri Lanka is called “Free, Sovereign and Independent Republic of Sri Lanka” My dear friends, is this country an independent, free country? Are we working to make it a free severing and independent country or are we just let it be there only in the Constitution? Constitution is the supreme law of the country, if you go through it there are laws which will make this country a heaven if practiced well; but does it happen? From the top to the bottom it is corrupt: we all know it my dear friends, but why do we turn deaf ears and blind eyes on them? This is our country! if we are not acting to protect it today, future… can we even think of a future? Are we developing our country or are we stepping towards the Stone Age again? So my dear sisters and brothers do you think we are doing the correct thing? Are we going to act like deaf, blind and dumb on all the things happening in our country? And can we say we are not part of all the things happening? Can we just wipe our hands saying we didn’t do them so the people who did them are to be blamed? Why? Why can’t we act to stop people who are doing wrong? My dear friends don’t boast of our history, yes we have a proud history but just being proud of it and celebrating an independence which is only history is a joke. Our ancestors struggled a lot to gain this so called Independence, why don’t we take examples from them? And try to make this country a better place to live? Think what have you done to make Mother Lanka proud of you? Just recall, how many times have you disobeyed the laws? How many times did you put blind eyes on corruptions and aided and abetted them? THINK my dear brothers and sisters, before it is too late and act today because prevention is better than cure. And let’s not be a burden to our Lanka Matha but make her proud of us. She needs us my dear friends she is waiting for us. So why are we waiting? We are the ones who give them the power so when they are misusing it we have to stand again it’s our duty. So let’s act today and I am sure it will give us the opportunity to celebrate the Independence in the true sense of the word.
