	To the British PM from R. Shanmugalingam
		Prime Minister, your government has a moral obligation to protect Tamil interests, if not any legal responsibility, for failing to act, when the only protection under the Soulbury Constitution was cleverly mitigated in promoting Sinhala chauvinism with the unilaterally adopted 1972 Sri Lanka Constitution that left the Tamils destitute.
		While the Commission was in Ceylon, the speech of certain Sinhala politicians calling for the solidarity of the Sinhalese and threatening of the suppression of Tamils emphasized the need for constitutional safe guards on behalf of that and other minorities, despite the confidence felt by the Commission in Mr.
		Prime Minister, Tamils do not expect you to fight their war but definitely expect you not to repeat the mistake made by your predecessors - trusting the Sri Lankan Government to be fair and just in treating Tamils as equals in citizenship.

		Bandaranaike during her period as Prime Minister from 1970 to 1977 and who recommended a deprivation of her civic rights for 7 years, was later found guilty of improper conduct during a previous posting.

		Ceylon's evolution to autonomy within the Commonwealth followed a less painful and indeed a much more happy course than was followed by India and Pakistan.

		It is probable that Ceylon places a special value on the Commonwealth connections because of her very natural fear of her large neighbour.
