draft 5
“Finally the British are gone and there is bliss of hope for the new country Sri Lanka!” exclaimed Insith’s father patiently reading Ceylon time’s newspaper with joy and laughter.
“You must remember this day on 22nd May 1972 sons and daughters, this is the day that the whites have gone back to where they are supposed to be.” added Insith ’s mother happily resting on the crouch making dolls.
Insith, 10, came from a Tamil family and he was the oldest among the sibling. He had a sister called Nuveena and a brother called Geethan. They knew nothing about politics. They owned a Ceylon tea plantation which was passed down from their ancestors to the head of the family who was their father. They had contributed a lot to the new Sri Lanka’s economic growth by producing tea leaves and boosting the economy through trading. Eventually, they thought that everything would go well and smooth but they were wrong.
Insith was 20 years old by then. He had a hard time studying trying to get to university as there was a change of university admission criteria. Before 1970, admission to university was based on merit but after 1970, the admission to university was not based on merit. Tamil students had to score higher than Sinhalese students in order for them to get a place in the university. In addition, the number of places for Tamil students was also limited.
Sometimes bad thing happens to good people, despite working hard for his “o” levels, Insith still did not managed to get into university. He started to feel that the government was lacking of fairness just because they are from different races. He knew that he needed to do something for his race for a better future. He also did not want his family to get disappointed so he bluffed them that he found a job that pays far more then working in a tea plantation.
One ordinary day with unexpected things that happen that changed the life of their family permanently. As usual, Insith brought Nuveena and Geethan to their school and went to work. He brought his lunchbox and sat with his clique of friends during lunch time. One of his friends, Muthu, told him that there would be a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) being form by a bunch of youth Tamils to oppose the government to fight for justice
Insith knew that opportunity was knocking at his doorsteps. Without any hesitation, He immediately went to their headquaters and signed up to join the Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam. Not long after his harsh training in the camp, his family members started to feel something amiss happened to him. There were bruises all over Insith’s body and when his parents asked him what happened he claim that he is fine.
“Father! Mother! I am off to work!” exclaimed Insith while wearing his shoes and ran off hurriedly. Insith‘s dad noticed that his bag was getting bulkier each day. So on that particular day, Insith‘s dad finally took a step of faith and spied on him secretly. Shockingly, he saw his own son walking in to a public toilet and changed to his army suit. He was very disheartened and disappointed when he saw his own filial son in that suit. Then he saw him went off in a truck with a group of fellow comrades. Insith‘s dad went home hurriedly went home and told everyone in the house what he saw. They were utterly shock upon hearing the news.
Soon after that, the rioting between the Sinhalese government and Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam had started. The Sinhalese-dominated army had driven thousands of Tamils were force to abandon and run for their lives. Insith‘s family was one of the victim whose home was abandoned. Although Insith was worried about his family, his determination and perseverance had made him to stay and fight in the battle against what was opposing them.
Finally, Insith had meet up with Nuveena and Geethan by chance when he was patrolling nearby a church. There moments of joys filled the whole place for an instance.
“ Big brother! I am so afraid to tell you that….” Nuveena cried profusely, looking at the doll that her mum had made.
“Our parents had died just to protect us!” added Geethan ran and cried immediately after saying his words.
For that instance, Insith cried like rain gushing down from the skies and he immediately ran and hugged his both siblings and trying to comfort them by explaining “This is life, you both must stay strong do you understand me.”
Soon after that, they brought Insith in front of his parent’s copses. They do not have enough money to buy a coffin. Together unit as one, the sibling pluck out the courage and started digging for two large holes for their parents corpse and tears and screams can be heard far away.
When they were digging half way, gunshots and grenade was heard from distance. Insith immediately took up his AK-47 gun and get ready for any on coming attacks. He forced his young sibling to stay in the church while he was at the door guarding.
Suddenly a extremely loud gunshot was heard Geethan and Nuveena saw Insith fell to the ground unconsciously. They ran to him regardless of what was happening in the surrounding.
“Geethan, protect your sister no matter what happens.” murmured Insith gasping desperately for air.
“God, When can it stop.” said Insith last words with disappointment. Although his had passed away but his spirit toward his family will never fade away.
“You must remember this day on 22nd May 1972 sons and daughters, this is the day that the whites have gone back to where they are supposed to be.” added Insith ’s mother happily resting on the crouch making dolls.

Nuveena, Geethan and Insith were only 5, 7, 10 years old respectively by then and know nothing about politics. The whole family was Indian Tamils.

They had contributed a lot to the new Sri Lanka’s economic growth by producing tea leaves and boosting the economy through trading. Eventually, they thought that everything will go well and smooth but they where wrong.
Things happened to change not long after independent. The Sri Lanka government had made some decision that made some conflicts between the Tamil and the Sinhalese. They said that only those who are born in Sri Lanka or those whose ancestors were born in Sri Lanka have the rites to get citizen rights.
As the results, the Indian Tamils who worked in the tea plantations became stateless. Which means that the Geethan’s family would not have a country of their own? Not only his family was affected by it, their relatives and those with same race where also overwhelmed by the decision the government had made. There are still other policies that they think that it is unfair to them.
One of it was the change of university admission criteria. Before 1970, admission to university was based on merit but after 1970, the admission to university was not based on merit. Tamil students had to score higher than shinhalese students. The number of places for Tamil students was also limited.

One of his friends, Muthu, told him that there will be a Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE) being form by the a bunch of young Tamils to oppose the government to fight for the better future.
Without any hesitation, He immediately went to their headquaters and sign up for joining Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam. Not long after his harsh training in the camp his family members started to feel something amiss happened to him. There were bruises all over Insith’s body and when his parents asked him what happened he claim that he is fine.
“ Father! Mother! I am off to school!” exclaimed Insith while wearing his shoes and ran off. Insith‘s dad noticed that his bag was getting bulkier and bulkier each day. So on a particular day, Insith‘s dad finally took a step of faith and spied on him secretly. Shockingly, he saw his own son walking in to a public toilet and changed to his army suit.

Nuveena, Geethan and Insith were only 5, 7, 10 years old respectively by then and know nothing about politics. The whole family was Indian Tamils. They own a Ceylon tea plantation which was passes down from their ancestors to the head of the family which is their father. They had contributed a lot to the new Sri Lanka’s economic growth by producing tea leaves and boosting the economy through trading. Eventually, they thought that everything will go well and smooth but they where wrong.
Things happened to change not long after independent. The Sri Lanka government had made some decision that made some conflicts between the Tamil and the Sinhalese. They said that only those who are born in Sri Lanka or those whose ancestors were born in Sri Lanka have the rites to get citizen rights.
As the results, the Indian Tamils who worked in the tea plantations became stateless. Which means that the Geethan’s family would not have a country of their own? Not only his family was affected by it, their relatives and those with same race where also overwhelmed by the decision the government had made. There are still other policies that they think that it is unfair to them.
One of it was the change of university admission criteria. Before 1970, admission to university was based on merit but after 1970, the admission to university was not based on merit. Tamil students had to score higher than shinhalese students. The number of places for Tamil students was also limited.
Nuveena, Geethan and Insith were 15, 17 and 20 years old respectively by then. They had a hard time studying just to get to university. Insith started to feel very unjust and he knew that he needs to do something for his race for a better life. Being the elders in the family, it is his responsibility to protect his family for whatever that happens.
One ordinary day with unexpected things that happen that changed the life of their family. As usual, Insith brought Nuveena and Geethan to their school and when to his own university to study. During his recess, as usual, he brought his lunchbox and sat with his clique of friends. One of his friends, Muthu, told him that there will be a Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE) being form by the a bunch of young Tamils to oppose the government to fight for the better future.
Without any hesitation, He immediately went to their headquaters and sign up for joining Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam. Not long after his harsh training in the camp his family members started to feel something amiss happened to him. There were bruises all over Insith’s body and when his parents asked him what happened he claim that he is fine.
“ Father! Mother! I am off to school!” exclaimed Insith while wearing his shoes and ran off. Insith‘s dad noticed that his bag was getting bulkier and bulkier each day. So on a particular day, Insith‘s dad finally took a step of faith and spied on him secretly. Shockingly, he saw his own son walking in to a public toilet and changed to his army suit. He was very disheartened and disappointed when he saw his own filial son in the suit. Then he saw him went off in a truck with a group of fellow comrades. Insith‘s dad went home hurriedly went home and then discussed about it with his wife and then decided to tell everyone in the family about it. Nuveena and Geethan were utterly shock upon hearing the news and had the same reaction as his their father.
Soon after that, the rioting started between the government and Liberation Tiqers of Tamil Eelam started.

Disscusion on my career choice(police officer)
I think that only Singapore citizens or permenant resident can be a police man as they will not betray their own country no matter what happens as it is their own country. To me, physically fit, good eyesight and medically fitness is the primary Requirements for a police officer. Basically, i am a person who lacks of discipline which i do not like it, but I chose police officer is because I want to be more discipline in the future and contribute to the society. You also can get a lot of experiences from the trainings and courses in the police force. You also can learn what normal people can not learn. That is the secret of how police uses different type of methods to catch different kind of thieves and solve crimes. It is my ambition and interest to be in the police force. I am a committed and passionate NPCC cadet in my CCA because of my ambition. It is the fire in my big brother's life that kindled my passion to join the police force. That what all i can say about my career choice. Thank you Mrs lee and fellow readers.
