This lady speaking in a video report on The News Reporter website on 28/09/2022 is noteworthy for her definition of the motivation for the recent anti-Rajapaksa regime movement. This lady mourns the loss of the dream of "Subha Anaagathayak" promised to the Sinhala Buddhist vote bank won over by the Rajapakas and their politics of the SLPP and Viyath Maga. She mourns the stealing of that dream promise by the Rajapaksas who gave that dream to only their clan and cronies. She is but the third generation of mourning and angry mothers of Lanka. In 1971, too, hundreds of mothers mourned the loss of their children in rebellion over their own loss of a socialist dream promised by the Left leaders of the United (Left) Front government of 1970. Again, in 1987-91, tens of thousands of mothers mobilised in mourning and anger in the Mothers' Front initiated by Mangala Samaraweera & Mahinda Rajapaksa. They mourned the tens of thousands of dead Lankan youth of the DJV/JVP rebellion. That Mothers'  Front were inspired by the Mothers' Front of Jaffna who were already morning the loss of their children rebelling against ethnic oppression. Up to today, tens of thousands of mothers of the North and East continue to mourn their lost children even though the State agencies do their best to suppress such mourning. Mothers of the South who also lost their children in the ethnic war also have been mourning all this time, no? This lady talks only about the mothers of today who mourn not the loss of childrens' lives in their thousands. No, the mothers that this lady speaks of only mourn the betrayal of a dream of wealth and prosperity; of the loss of that promise of a prosperous Anaagathaya. These three different generations of mothers of Lanka mourn separately and parallely. Actually the current generation of mourning mothers, not yet affected by the actual mass loss of life, have the opportunity to share that reservoir of social strength they yet possess with those mothers of older generations who still mourn their dead children. In Lanka we have a bizarre form of 'co-existence'. A co-existence of parallel social agonies that are never mutually felt by those social groups in agony. In fact, each other's agonies and struggles and frustrations are not even recognised by each other.  Sometimes the agonies and struggles of one social group are even actively denied and rejected by other groups!  What kind of 'Wonder' is this ? With Pohottuva MPs calling for Manna Island to be converted into a gambling den in complete disregard of the interests and aspirations of the Mannar citizenry, it continues to be a nasty kind of 'Wonder'. I wonder what this speaker will say about such political arrogance and cynicism by an MP of the SLPP which she elected to power.
