Watch Out. The Sinha-Le Campaign gathers Momentum

SinhaLe SINHALE BADGE …. OR “The island nation of SINHALE” as it was phrased in the email circular I received

These images are just what the Tamil extremists wanted… and want. So, as indicated in other posts, we see the two poles stirring each other.

I invite readers to present their thoughts on this point. Michael Roberts

ANOTHER ITEM:  It is time to restore Sinhale, the historical name of our motherland. Some countries previously were under the colonial rule have alreadyrestored to their original names.
