Politicians made a great deal about changing street names. Perhaps to display their &#8220;Nationalism&#8221;, maybe an easy con to fool the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This mania of changing street names happens all the time and everywhere. London changed streets named after colonial characters whose reputations are now in question. The irony is that it is Saddiq Khan, the Mayor of London, who is presiding over these changes in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter protests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Unlike Colombo, New Delhi (and other state capitals) renamed their colonial era street names after internationally famous people, like Nelson Mandela. In Colombo, one hardly knows some of the characters whose names adorn streets. Kandy is a special case. Before the colonial era, streets in Kandy had local names. The British changed them in &#8220;honour&#8221; of their leaders. Postindependence, many street names were changed back to the pre-colonial era names.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 240px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Old Name<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0New Name<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Albion road <\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sri Dharmarama Road<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Armour Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sri Sumanatiss Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Barber Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Maha Vidyalaya Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Baillie Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Mudalige Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Baseline road<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Dr. Danister De Silva Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bloemendhal Road<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">K.Cyril C.Perera Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Brownrigg Road<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Keppetipola Road<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bullers Road <\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Bauddhaloka Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Campbell Place<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ananda Rajakaruna Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 24px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Chekku Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sri Kathiresan Street<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 240px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Chekku Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sri Kathiresan Street<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Church Street<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sir Mohomed Macan Marker Mawatha<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Cotta Road<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Dr.N.M.
