Nandana would you be able to analyse this election results and the political past of colombo by taking into consideration the current population break up by ethnicity of Sinhalese 36%, Tamils 31% Moors 29 % Others 4 % where Sinhala people are a minority.

Just now occured to me- shouldn't the tag after the title be " Retelling history after *70* years..." , since what you've described happened in 1955, and hence it happened 70 years before and not 60 years before??

It's very astonishing to hear William Gopallawa as the municipal commissioner hindering the hearing session. Considering he's a close relative of Sirima Bandaranaike and their so called upper caste social standings, why did he acted in a way beneficial to a political opponent and a "lower caste" one at that? A personal vendetta against the bright N.M?
