One of Mahinda Rajapakse's (at least) 2 brothers is called Basil.
Question: is Basil an Indian, perhaps particularly Sinhalese, name? I know such a name definitely exists in Europe ("St Basil").
Anyone know what Rajapakse's parents were, or at least what their full names are? Particularly the mother.
