KANNUSAMY REMINDS MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE – Moses Thayan

Don’t you remember what you studied in Mahavamsa? I am Sri Wicrama Raja Singan, the last king of your country, who ruled the Kandyan Kingdom, and my original name is Kannusamy. I want to remind you about the brave Tamil kings who fought the foreign invaders. Sangilian Dynasty (1519 – 1619) ruled the Jaffna Kingom, and the Sangilian the2^nd, was captured by the Portuguese and brought to Goa in India and was hanged. King Pandaravanniyan ruled Vanni, who won the first battle but lost the second battle with the British and died of wounds. King Ellalan who ruled Anuradapura Kingdom (235 BC) fought with a young king Thuttagaimunu, when he was 72 years old. In 543 BC Vijeyan came with his 700 friends to our country and married Kuveni, and his dynasty became Singhalese. Vijeyan later married Tamil women from South India. Our old kings fought with honesty, no foul play like you used Chemical weapons. Kannusamys, Sangilians, Pandaravanniyans, an Ellalans are always there. So the war is not over.

I won many battles with British, and you know how, in 1803, I hanged my associate Pilima Thalawa, a Singhalese who became a traitor.  I was captured by the British and brought to India and jailed in Velur.  Mr. Karunanithy opened a remembrance hall in memory of my imprisonment in Velur. When ever you visit India come and see me with your half-friend Karunanithy.
