LLRC and the future of Sri Lanka

As guiding principles Sinhala Buddhists never discriminated against their minority communities) disliked the LLRC from its inception,and tried to “humiliate” it by questioning the qualifications of its membership. In addition, several local politicians and foreign entities who had no courage to face the reality or admit their past and present mistakesdecided to boycott it (CFA -2002, the subject matter of LLRC, was described as the “greatest give-away in world’s history” by the Englishman Paul Harris, a prediction for which he was deported from Sri Lanka). But as the date for the LLRC final report becomes nearer, a group of writers are “self-lobbying” for a report favorable to both their open and hidden agenda.  For example, Mr. JehanPererarecently suggested that LLRC resurrect the infamous Majority Report of the APRC (Island, 7/19/201).  That report was an example of the Eurocentric thinking (Europe is superior in body and mind) of some Colombo officers and a Marxist minister.On another front, Mr. Rajan Philips (The Island, 7/2/2011),piggybacking on two essays written by Dr. N. Chandrahasan argued that 13-A must be “honestly” implemented because it is the law of the country.  Missing were the jurisprudential (applied law) issues such as who created 13-A law and for whom. Most of the witnesses appeared before LLRCdisplayed an ingrainedEurocentric bias in their evidence (a built-in element found in Lord McCaulay’s grandchildren known as black-whites or coconuts -brown outside, white inside).  Therefore, there is a real danger that LLRC, faced with local and foreign pressure(intimidation?) to provide what some Indian, white and American diplomats and politicians demand as “meaningful devolution,” (European solution) couldcave in to this Eurocentric trap and drift away from its originally emphasized goal of finding home-grown solutions to social, economic and spatial inequities prevalent in the island. There are some variables that are beyond the reach of LLRC arm, such as LTTE remnants in London, Toronto, Geneva, Oslo, Paris orNew York City, and the drama of Tamil Nadu politicians. But the very encouraging foothold the UPFA received at the recent local government elections in former LTTE controlled areas is a clear signal indicating that the local variable, the TNA separatist agenda, is within the taming net of LLRC.
