Indi, our beloved Kottu God is losing it...

I've been reading Indi.ca for some time and i really like the stuff he write about.. i follow him on a regular basis ..but lately I've been reading some pretty alarming stuff..especially on his 'coverage' of the recently concluded Presidential Election...and then came the bombshell ,titled 'Ranil should go' where Indi wants Ranil out of UNP...in his latest post, he lists clearly why he wants Ranil out.. and by god ..i guess now Ranil has no choice but to leave.. and leave soon...

Rather not waste more time on this issue.. below is my comment on Indi's post ..


"look Indi, i like you..

i like you for what your do in terms of facilitating and creating space in the blogspeare for a Sri Lankan voice but when you tell me (or in open fora..) about what Ranil should do next.. i think its time you go…

i assume you had been in Sri Lanka for least last few years and know the politics of this country for last couple of decades ..well, not the interpretations that you read on Wiki.,but what you read on national newspapers,that's mostly Sinhala and Tamil papers …

and if so, you would by now know (like most of ordinary Sri Lankans..not the western based,Obama and Hope types..) that after this election Ranil comes out as one of the winners and the only reason astute politicians like Ranil and Rauf Hakeem accepted defeat was not because they very lazy but because they understand the reality of politics well and because they were in touch with their party rank and file from all corners of Sri Lankan , because they know well, they can't offered to have a Elections petition without substantial evidence of malpractice as being alleged by some ….

that's one of the reasons why they had been on politics for some many decades and survived that much time…

just please spare us with your infinite wisdom and stick to what you know …while at it.. try and get yourself as a registered voter too…

good luck! "


My humble and erstwhile request to Indi is please get out of your Colombo 07 ,Western oriented high tech outlook and listen to what 6,015,934 humble and low tech people of Sri Lanka said on 26th January ,2010.

P.S- by the way i agree with Indi , i too think Ranil must go.. but not because of reasons provided by Indi..just because its time to overhaul the leadership of UNP and let the leadership reflect the aspiration and wishes of its grassroots ..the way it was before Ranil's ascend to power...

pls read my old post on Ranil...
