Dear FH-ers,
I am interested to get a citizenship in Sri Lanka and would like to know how to go about it. Will I need to get an application form for a citizenship in Sri Lanka/obtain a visa/passport? Also, though I am a person who is so high functioning and independant, I am getting financial support from the Government of Canada. Is there a way I can still obtain a support from the Canadian government by way of the Canadian High Comission in Colombo in the area of finances, medical, and otherwise? I am interested to know. I hope someone will be able to help me.

  BureauChiefSouthAsia,
  A week or so ago, I did not like you and wanted you to get lost because I found the things you were saying on this thread to be extremely annoying/irritating. Now I like you and find your postings quite amusing/humorous! You one of the FH comedians! I am eager to see more of your jokes!

  From the desk of LocalBureau-Indian Subcontinent:
  "Seven heavily armed agents have been deployed to Colombo to protect Agent Greg when he lands there. We have enough notice that 15 insurgents have taken oath to finish off Agent Greg alias Skanthavelu Nadarajah when he arrives in SL. It is recommended that Agent Greg be heavily armed during the flight also".

  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
  
  Are these 15 insurgents all Tamil women? If so, I think I should also have a giant Tamil man or woman with me as a body guard. Because, I do not know how vicious Tamil women can get when they are armed! LOL

  What ever happened to BureauChiefSouthAsia and LBIndianSubcontinent? I really miss their humorous posts. I am still laughing about the one about "wet noodle" which BureauChiefSouthAsia had put up on this thread!

  To Skandavelu Nataraja:
  
  From "The Hindu" dated 11th July 2003
  Lanka citizenship for 168,141 Indian-origin people
  
  Colombo, July 11. (PTI): The Sri Lankan Government has decided to grant citizenship to some 168,141 people of Indian origin who opted, but failed to return to their native country.
  
  Officials said the Cabinet two days ago approved a plan to grant citizenship to 84,141 people who had obtained Indian passports to return home, but could not travel for various reasons since 1983. Another 84,000 people of Indian origin born in Sri Lanka after 1964 will also qualify for Lankan citizenship, officials said.
  
  New Delhi and Colombo had agreed to send back hundreds of thousands of people of Indian origin back to India, but the island's escalated ethnic conflict since 1983 had stopped a ferry that took back batches of Indians.
  
  The Indians had been brought to Sri Lanka at the end of the 19th century as indentured labour by British colonial rulers to work in tea and coffee plantations. Sri Lanka today has a distinct ethnic community known as the "Tamils of recent Indian Origin" and they retain their own identity independent of Sri Lanka's indigenous Tamils.
  
  Tamils of Indian origin form about 5.5 percent of the 18.6 million population and are concentrated in the island's central region while Sri Lankan Tamils constitute about 12.5 percent.

  QUOTE URME's WORDS:SN stands for 'Skanthavelu Nataraja' who is a white guy that changed his nameUNQUOTE
  
  Not long ago the great URME said that her mother thought SN was Srilankan. Does this mean URME will call SN a white guy one day and a srilankan another day whichever suits her argument. <<
  
  It was long after these comments, Skathavelu had his Tamil teacher posting on this forum that he Skanthavelu is a white guy. Then Skanthavelu went on my 'educational problems in Britian' thread and posted that he is ashamed of his European ancestry.
  
  Skanthavelu told me personally that he has English ancestry. I suspected from his axcent that he had Sri Lankan origins as well(more so after his interest in leanring Tamil I felt he has Tamil ancestry as well). These things were e always denied by Skanthavelu. So I was forced to take his words and that of his Tamil tacher who posted on this forum.
  
  Punnahai has to be ignored for the things she says without any kind of reference. Th above is one of the many examples and this is how some people behave when they want to stir trouble for others and waste their precious time.
  
  Here Skanthavelu have something to come shouting at me now.

  ...Holy Mother! The more I read about how Leeds was messing about with you, it makes me wonder what kind of people are working there! Oh my Goddd! It is amazing the things people do to keep down others. I am happy I moved so far away from my European ancestry and heritage.<<
  
  I do not recall exactly where my posts questiong Skans ancestral background and the response from his Tamil teacher are. Perhaps Skan can sort that out. It is definitely in one of his threads.

  I am sorry if I put the puzzle(including that in my 'educational ..... 'thread yesterday) together wrongly. But I have studied it for a long time and so I think the chances of it being wrong, is quite slim.

  To all :
  I was very happy to see Skan inspite of being caucasion has a strong crave to learn Tamil and Hinduism. who never misses to visit temple on sundays and sing tamil verses which I doubt some of us still having difficulty from school days.
  so please appreciate him for his initiative instead of discouraging him. <<
