OUR FUTURE LAWYERS
I was pulled by one of my friends into a batch meeting at the Faculty (Law faculty, University of Colombo) today after classes. I was reluctant in attending primarily because of my non-familiarity with the language of the meeting and secondly because of my disinterest in the topic of the meeting - Elections to the Student Union Council. What brought to me into the meeting was my friend's insistence and secondly my inquisitiveness.

As i walked into the meeting the first thing that stuck me was that the meeting was closed to girls. First years are offered three positions in the council. and here we are to decide who should file nominations to represent us in the council without the girls who formed 70% of the student population. Talk about gender represenataion...and these people are going to be the future generation of lawyers....some of them also might get into politics... I was shattered. When i asked one of the organisers for the reason i was told that this is how the seniors did it and that we are merely following their footsteps..Nothing but herd instinct...

Another aspect that i noted was that none of the Tamil medium students were in attanedance at the meeting. When i raised this with one of the organisers he didnt provide me with a proper response.. he seemed to mumble something to the effect that...' we have only three positions...we dont have enough fo the tamil medium students' I was rudely taken back.
When i asked one of my friends he told me that they will be coming a bit late. They never turned up. At the meeting, though i couldnt follow the proceedings properly, i managed to understand that they were talking about unity, despite the medium divides that we have.This opinion would have been appreciated if it had come from a meeting where all the medium students had been present. ...

I am not a pessimist but if my colleagues happen to represent in general the attitude that our generation has towards issues of representation...the future does not offer much for us. The silence into which we are deeply embossed should be broken!!! If not the destruction of the essence of our societal existence will continue to take place.

Racism is a universal phenomenon. I encounter it on a daily basis, directly or indirectly. Whether it be the oppressed or the oppressors, it is only a selected few who are 'conscious' of it. I think this selectivity, an intrinsic quality of racism,makes it harder to combat. It is difficult to find solutions to something which is denied by both parties. ( There are times when the victim refuses to admit to racism as the cause of their misfortune)
It is the duty of those who are 'aware' to enlighten the others. Education is key in elminating, or at least lessening racism or any other social ill. However, I understand that educating the ignorant is no easy task.
I find Mahatma Gandhi's doctrine of self suffering in order to vindicate truth as opposed to inflicting suffering on the assailent, helpful.

We each of us need to work on this issue. Racism exists and girls get forcibly left behind for various reasons, and we all have a responsibilty to the victimized party in each case. I believe you are working on similar issues?
