“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” – Plato
Recalling the dark days of repression has become the routine response of the administration to its critics. True. The internet is freely accessible. Public protest is permissible. The deep state is dismantled. We write and speak with no fear of physical harm. It happened when the people refused a third term to the ‘redeemer’ and elected a ‘reformer’ who promised to change the system.
A just society
How did it happen? It happened because of an aggregate enterprise of a citizenry, mobilised by the initiative of an exceptional leader, Venerable Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thero who spearheaded the ‘movement for a just society’. The people made it happen. We owe it to ‘we the people’; nobody else. Read my lips.
Sobhitha Thero’s mission was not to replace President Rajapaksa with President Sirisena. His declared purpose was a ‘just society’. That he wore a saffron robe but fast acquired the repute of a secular saint is an important aspect of the political transformation that took place one year ago.

The Government has inadvertently made Azath Salley a hero, or so some believe. No, the Government has not contributed to Azath turning a hero, he is one anyway.
The hate campaign against Muslims needs no elaboration. Azath Salley has only been warning Sri Lankans of dangerous consequences as a result of it. To arrest him on charges of inciting communal ill feeling is to insult the basic intelligence of all Sri Lankans.
Surely we Sri Lankans cannot forget so soon that Azath was a close associate of the ruling family. When did he fall into disfavor? Was it not when he vehemently opposed the destruction of an ancient Muslim shrine in Anuradhapura, and the campaign against the removal of the recently famous mosque in Dambulla? Was he not the one who openly condemned the racist ideology and hate campaign against minorities by extremist Sinhala groups? Was he not the one who spoke out for unity among all races and a common Sri Lankan identity? He is a true patriot, to fearlessly speak out in the face of not just losing favor with the Government, but also risking his personal security.
And now what is the Muslim community doing for him? Some feel that he was ‘asking for it’, that he ‘was shooting his mouth off’. Was he??
