The giants of politics past: The 71st anniversary of the LSSP
The Lanka Sama Samaja Party was founded on 18 December, 1935, by twenty five activists united in their opposition to British colonial rule. It was also the beginning of the Left movement in Sri Lanka that has shown consistent unity of purpose as a movement despite the frontal divisions between the LSSP and its offshoot, the Communist Party, at the beginning, and other organizational splits in later years.
The founding leaders of the Left, Philip Gunawardena, N.M. Perera, S.A. Wickremasinghe, Colvin R. de Silva, Leslie Goonewardena and Edmund Samarakoddy, were political giants not only among their contemporaries but also in the entire modern history of Sri Lanka. They were extraordinary in stature and intellect, grand and sweeping in their ambitions and vistas not for themselves but for their country, and virtually born with the ethic of disciplined hard work and abundance of selfless generosity.
