There are plenty of stories of heroes and traitors in world history. Those heroes and traitors are built according to our will, faith and time and heroes will become traitors and traitors will become heroes.
A hero's glory is only as long as there is a mighty traitor. Or that hero is just a pot breaker in the deserted house. Dutugemunu is a hero because he was a great traitor like Elara.
The difference between heroes and traitors is like a hair. The time it takes for a hero to become a traitor and a traitor to become a hero can be as much as a second.
Also, in the Batman movie, Batman is not a hero. A lawbreaker, a criminal. Even so, Batman became a hero because he was a traitor like Joker.
In literature, Rama becomes a hero for India and Ravana becomes a traitor while Ravana becomes a hero for Sri Lanka and Rama becomes a traitor.
In history, generals like Cappetipola in the war of independence were called traitors, but today they have become heroes.
The situation is the same in Sri Lankan politics. Mrs. Sirimavo, who became the world's first female prime minister in 1970, became a hero because of nationalizations. But in 1977 he was defeated and by 1980 he was a traitor who lost his community rights.
After him, Ranasinghe Premadamadas, the hero who defeated Sirimao in 1988 and was killed by a bomb in Thotalag in 1993, the people of the country set off firecrackers. The junction near you was also called the junction where the dog died. Premadasa, who established garment factories and was known as the "friend of the poor", passed away as a villain.
The politics of Bandaranayake, who was said to have been erased from Sri Lankan politics with the utter defeat of his wife, came back in 1994 with a record of 62.28%, the highest percentage of votes ever in Sri Lanka. That's how Chandrika, the daughter of the lady who was kicked out as a traitor, became a hero.
Next, in the 2005 presidential election, Mahinda Rajapaksa came to power with a percentage of 50.29% and a very small number of votes and won the 2010 election as a hero, but lost in 2015 and became a traitor. At that time, some people said that even a dog named Rajapaksa would never set foot in the Araliyagaha mansion again.
Mahinda became a traitor and became a hero, Maithri became a traitor and retreated..
Mahinda, who was a traitor then, became a hero and his younger brother Gotabhaya became the president, the youth sowed fields, painted pictures on the walls of the roads.. with Gota's tattoo on his chest..
His opposition leader was Sajithya, the son of R. Premadasa, who joined history as a traitor.
Gotabhaya, who was a hero in 2019, has become a traitor today. Instead of the pictures drawn on the walls then, the Rajapaksas drew pictures as monsters.. The tattoos on the chest are being erased today.. Among the 69 lakh people who voted for Gotabha, not even one can be found..
Also Ratta, Lahiru Weerasekera, Jehan Appuhamila, monks like Ulapane Sumangala, Omalpe Sobitha who fought to save the country from the Rajapaksas, Jiwantha Fathers and all the strugglers have become heroes today..
That's for today...
But the past keeps repeating itself. Only the characters change from time to time as villains and heroes.
Finally, all the heroes and villains have to say that "the very world that you sit on the altar and offer to you will rise up against you".
