[The Admiral]
Tilvin Silva turned seventy. Happy birthday to the legend. The revolutionary. The fighter. The man who shaped JVP into what it is today.
Sadly, just before September 2024, before Anura became President, Tilvin retired from politics. Completely retired. Vanished. Disappeared. Gone.
Now he is a philosopher. A thinker. A world traveler. He listens to Hindi music. Bollywood songs. Very romantic. He travels the globe. Makes love. Does everything he missed during his rebellious JVP days. Living his best life. Finally free.
He was the most powerful man when JVP was under his control. The lion. The boss. The godfather. Everyone feared him. Everyone obeyed him. Everyone knew Tilvin was in charge.
If he still had control of JVP today, oh boy, things would be different. So different. Dramatically different.
He would have fired Asoka Ranwala immediately. For faking the degree. For lying about education. For shaming the movement. Out. Gone. Finished.
He would have fired Harini Amarasuriya instantly. For destroying education reforms.
For messing up the system JVP cadres died for. For turning revolution into joke. Dismissed.
He would have fired Punyasiri Jayakody on the spot. For coal tender corruption. For bad deals. For wasting billions. For saying short men are bad while being short himself. Terminated.
He would have fired Handunetti without hesitation. For uttering mindless crap. For talking nonsense. For embarrassing the party daily. For being Handunetti. Expelled.
He would have fired Wasantha Samarasinghe brutally. For looting cadres. For accumulating 270 million rupees declared assets. For becoming exactly what JVP fought against. For revolutionary turned billionaire transformation. Banished.
He would have gone to India personally. Met Modi face to face. Taught him lessons about Sri Lankan freedom. About sovereignty. About non-alignment. About respecting smaller nations. Lion versus Modi. Epic confrontation.
He would have sided with China openly. Through Communist Party brotherhood. Red comrades united. Marxist solidarity. Revolutionary alliance. Communist internationale style.
He would have chased IMF away. Kicked out imperialist Americans. Told them Sri Lanka does not need their loans. Their conditions. Their interference. Revolutionary independence declared.
He would have stopped 1775 double cab corruption immediately. Cancelled the order. Investigated everyone involved. Sent them to prison. Revolutionary justice delivered.
He would have taken personal control of national security. Military under revolutionary command. Intelligence under party supervision. Defense under ideological guidance. True revolutionary state.
He would have banned private tuition instantly. To protect free education. To stop commercialization. To preserve socialist system. Revolutionary education reform implemented.
He would have controlled doctors and private hospitals strictly. To protect free healthcare. To stop privatization. To maintain socialist medicine. Revolutionary health system restored.
He would have put Ranil Wickremesinghe in jail immediately. For Batalanda crimes. For torture. For murder. For all sins. Revolutionary justice finally served.
He would have banned Bombay onions and Mysore parippu permanently. No Indian vegetables. No foreign lentils. Revolutionary food sovereignty declared.
He would have never surrendered to monks. Never bowed. Never compromised. Revolutionary secularism maintained.
He would have chased away billionaires taking government for ride. No Dhammika. No Balendra. No Ishara. No business influence. Revolutionary purity protected.
This is what Tilvin would have done. If he was still in control. If he was still the lion. If he was still the revolutionary leader.
Wake up. Wake up. Please wake up.
You are dreaming. Deep dreaming. Fantasy dreaming. Bollywood movie dreaming.
Tilvin is seventy. But he is still the JVP godfather. Still the power behind throne. Still controlling everything. Still the boss.
He used to be a lion. A revolutionary lion. A Marxist lion. A fighting lion.
Now he is a Gujarati pussy cat. Soft. Gentle. Harmless. Listening to Hindi music. Traveling. Making love. Very peaceful pussy cat.
He was never powerful. It was always a myth. A story. A legend we told ourselves. A fairy tale about revolutionary purity.
Just that he is exposed now. Finally exposed. Completely exposed. The Gujarati pussy cat revealed.
All that talk about firing people. About fighting Modi. About banning onions. About revolutionary justice. All talk. All myth. All pretending.
Asoka still there with fake degree. Harini still destroying education. Jayakody still corrupt with coal. Handunetti still talking crap. Wasantha still counting his 270 million. India still dominant. IMF still controlling. Double cabs still ordered. Billionaires still riding. Monks still powerful. Bombay onions still imported.
All happening under Tilvin's watch. Under his blessing. Under his approval. Under his guidance.
Because Tilvin was never the lion we imagined. He was always the Gujarati pussy cat. Just very good at roaring. Very talented at pretending. Very skilled at revolutionary acting.
The myth has died. The legend has ended. The fairy tale has finished.
Happy seventieth birthday, Tilvin. Enjoy your Hindi music. Enjoy your travels. Enjoy your love making. Enjoy your retirement.
And thank you for finally showing us the truth. That you were always the Gujarati pussy cat. Never the lion. Just very good at meowing loudly.
Wake up. The revolutionary emperor has no clothes. Never had clothes. Was always naked. We just refused to see.
The Gujarati pussy cat. Purring softly. Listening to Bollywood. While JVP becomes everything it pretended to fight.
Happy birthday, pussy cat. Meow meow.
