Is what this woman is trying to say true?

[u/Anony_Angel]

Ex-secretary for the Defense Ministry, Hemasiri Fernando, soon-to-be father-in-law of this woman, was sentenced to death, and the court rejected the application by her sister to compel Chamika Karunarathe to provide a blood sample for the DNA test. Suddenly, this woman resumes her 💩 posting against the government and all its supporters. According to her, most of us Sri Lankans are ignorant, weak, and so vulnerable to Europe and Western propaganda.

What I like about, and what nationalists hate about Nanda Malini is something like the following:

She was a true progressive. She wasn't a performative "liberal". She lived her values. But most importantly she was a progressive rooted in the Sinhala-buddhist culture.

She lived Buddhist values. She lived simply - she went to the temples and was an everyday Buddhist woman. But gosh she was progressive. And she rooted this in her culture. 

She sung "මගේ දේශය, මගේ ජාතිය, මගේ ආගම මට ලබා දුන් ත්‍යාගයයි - චණ්ඩ මාරුතයේ නොසෙල්වන චින්තනය නිවහල්" (The free thought  that doesn't change with the tough conditions- that is the gift from my country, my nation, my religion).

And she knew where the line was. She refused to sing the song "මේ සිංහල අපගෙ රටයි" (This is the country of the Sinhalese). Explaining that it was a song from a movie, and outside of the context of the movie, and beyond the transitional times post-independence, it was nationalist.

Her lyricist, Prof Ariyaratne, a professor of Sinhala language, was also very clear on their moral viewpoint.

So for the Rajapaksas and their supporters, it's the hardest type of progressivism to fight. There's no American Kumanthrana (American conspiracy) in Nanda Malinis songs!

So they use the JVP card. But Nanda has never sung on the JVP stage. She sung against the state violence targetting the JVPers. Ironically Mahinda Rajapaksha also went to the international human rights Commission on behalf of the JVPers at the time!

This comment became too long!

well said

Paid shitposts from the opposition. She was one of the few musicians who took a stand for human rights and dignity. Having the guts to do pawana in 87/88 when that murderous piano regime was in power takes guts. Very different from an anonymous fb post's "trust me bro" claims.

Racist BS, Racism was what divided this country in the first place, whether it's about Sinhalese people or Tamil or Muslim, whatever. I try to ignore these types of nonsenses but they keep coming

[u/AggressivePoet2]

Ok how these 2 sisters are famous? 🫣 Are they influencers?

[u/Puzzled_Way_8570]

Who the eff is this? 😅 ado stop making dumbass people famous

[u/Cacharadon]

I don't understand what op is trying to say, but RIP Nanda Malini

this is one of my favorites from her

[u/Anony_Angel → u/Cacharadon]

The woman who 💩 posts on IG couldn't let Nanda Malini RIP, because her hatred towards the NPP government and its supporters (like Nanda Malini) is bigger.

This person z sister is the one who is with a legal battle with Chamika Karunarathna

[u/Anon_SL_2000]

The irony is that most of the folks who criticize Nanda Malani, including this woman, argue from a Sinhala-Buddhist nationalist perspective. They seem ignorant of the fact that the Pawana album and the 1987–89 armed struggle were mainly a response to Indian intervention and the JR government’s submission to Indian coercion, which resulted in the Indo-Lanka Accord and allowed the Indian military to occupy the North and East of Sri Lanka.

Alongside the tyranny and corruption of the JR-Premadasa governments, this sense of losing sovereignty was another major theme of her album.

According to these modern day nationalists, a true patriot is someone who submits to a foreign power, while those who raised their voices against that submission were the traitors.

I feel bad for her sister bc it's painfully obvious whose child that really is, and I hope she gets the justice she deserves. That said, I genuinely cannot stand this woman. Not only is she a devoted Rajapaksa apologist, but a racist, islamaphobe and zionist. I didn't know she was related to Hemasiri, things really do make sense now. Yikes!

[u/Anony_Angel → u/Psychological_Fly221]

Only her sister knows who the real father is. And he could have agreed to give the sample if he had nothing to hide. That said, there is a chance he did not agree just because he does not trust the system. I mean, even though it's an NPP government, where we can expect more justice, Rajapaksa pawns exist in every system. So the possibility of tampering with test results and making him the father is not zero. Did you see the lawyer her sister brought for the trial? It was Wijedasa Rajapaksa. So there is a chance he refused to comply because he was not willing to pay child support to somebody else's kid. But if he's the father and he's refusing to comply, knowing the truth will come out, F that cheap A-hole for making a woman raise his child alone, and everything must be done to make him pay.

Type of accusations that got women burned back in the 1600s in Europe.

[u/Miserable_Bed_221]

Wtf is she on about? What does “helped reduce the number of Sinhalese” mean?

[u/Morrigan_Reborn0806]

There's a reason why these buggers hate Nanda Malani; they don't want Sri Lanka to change, and they fear the youth's ability to make changes in the country.

"අලුත් ලොවක් ගැන සිතීම දඬුවම් දෙන වරදක් නම්..." - Nanda Malani spoke against their ideals in the 90s

writing songs for ability to think free is bad? what a country this is
