Siththy Amarasingham is not with us now but the life of that ordinary man is history!


“Siththiyar” or Amarasinghaththar was an ordinary man and with his wife he lived a very simple but happy life by making and distributing short eats. A distributor of short eats had created history through his deeds was our contemporary history.
Why Mr. Siththy Amarasingham, maker and distributor of short eats had committed himself to socio cultural activities and played the role of a Cultural Studies Centre of a region single handedly? Is he mad or maker of a society?

It’s not a riddle to answer but a posed question to think.
