Child hero “Madduma Bandara” is reborn

“ Brother don't fear, I will show you how to die” saying Madduma Bandara asked the executioner to cut his neck in one attempt. The name of this child hero will be remembered as long as the Sinhala nation and Sinhala rata survive. When his brother “ Loku Banda” was scared of being beheaded, brave child came forwarded and scarified his life on May 17th, 1814.

With the years of investigations into the Madduma Bandara’s life, Sihala Shasthra researcher proudly expresses that this child hero is reborn on the Lanka soil as Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

According to our researcher, Madduma Bandara adored his country, took risks, hated invaders/enemies and was keen to be a warrior. The previous life’s qualities are still existing in  Gotabaya.  He always respected and loved his country and nation. When the country had faced the very dangerous situation he assumed the role of the defence secretary, he made firm and tough decisions to fight against terrorism. He played a key role in the Vadamarachchi Operation, the biggest ever military operation in  Elam War I,  as the 1 Gajaba Regiment  commander against LTTE.

 

Following history, he arrived in the country again to encourage and strengthen his older brother President Mahinda Rajapaksa. In 1814 he died in terms of his sacrifice, but this time he narrowly escaped a bomb blast in Colombo.
