  • Some Pillars for Lanka's Future
    23 Some Pillars for Lanka’s Future Michael Roberts1 1 Editor’s Note: This is a reproduction of an article published by the author in June 2009, in the immediate aftermath of the end of the Sri Lankan conflict in May 2009. ‘One can win the War, but lose the Peace.’ Cliché this may be, but it also a hoary truism that looms over the post-war scenario in Sri Lanka. The triumphant Sri Lankan government now has to address the human terrain rather than the fields of battle. In facing this challenge, both government and concerned people must attend to another truism: as Sinnappah Arasaratnam pointed out long ago, extremisms have been feeding off each other and undermining political compromise in Sri Lanka over a long period of time. Now, apart from the well-known Sinhala chauvinist forces outside and within the Rajapaksa government, we must attend to the Tamil chauvinist forces in the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and elsewhere in Sri Lanka, in Tamil Nadu, and in the ranks of the vociferous Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora across the world. These forces have to be corralled and undermined. This is not an easy task. It calls for a multi-stranded strategy involving many moderate forces. One element is already in place: under the initiatives taken by the Ministry of Constitutional Affairs under D.E.W Gunasekera, Tamil has been made a compulsory subject at school in the Sinhala-speaking areas since mid-2007, while proficiency exams have been introduced at various levels of the public service that give incentives to those with bi-lingual capacity.
