Mahinda Prasad Masimbula"... For deeply etching, in our souls, the ineffaceable marks of disgraceful social negligence and chauvinism in sri lankan history, while compelling us to question ourselves again and again about human values and human rights through a story of blood, sweat, and tears unseen and unheard by many; where every thread of thought rendered from the mesmeric embroidery of emotions in the original throbs with vivacity, and is beautifully reproduced in English as a piece of touching prose poetry composed around innocent lives humiliated and cold-shouldered for generations in rural sri lanka of the middle of the last century; and leaving us seriously ashamed of our stinky thoughts on caste-based distinctions that randomly and sporadically peek out even today, the h. A. I. Goonetillake prize 2019-2020 is awarded to, the indelible by malinda seneviratne, being an excellent translation of mahinda prasad masimbulas award-winning novel, senkottan. " - jury citation -
