This is not Buddhism as I know it, but Sinhalese chauvinism and communalism that is promoted by the nationalistic Rajapakse regime.  First the Tamils were marginalised after the civil war and now they are going after the rest of the minorities in this questionable democracy.

This is a very disturbing trend in Sri Lanka and from a government that claims it is working toward reconciliation.  How can the Australian FM Bob Carr go on record saying there is no evidence of human right violations by the Sri Lankan government after their actions have been condemned by the UN Human rights council.  Under what rock has he been hiding.  Clearly he is getting his news from the Daily News, Sri Lanka's English language government run newspaper and the only one not suffering these abuses.  How can the Australian government in all good conscience turn the leadership of the Commonwealth over to this government.  This will only serve to tarnish the reputation of the Commonwealth from which it will never recover.  They should support Canada's boycott of CHOGM and insist on moving or postponing the meeting until these concerns are address by the Sri Lankan government.
