In this forum many people are writing against the tamils in Srilanka. How many of us have read the history of Srilanka written by popular historians? The facts are different, but many people knew very less about the actual facts about the ethnic tamils in srilanks. Homeland issue could have been sorted out by early governments of Srilanka which was neglected in the 1970s which had entered a crisis like this.
LTTE was formed for the cause of Tamil liberation to liberate Tamil people from the attrocities of Srilankan Govt and people. But the way it has emerged now is very different with a different ideology and the image of LTTE is spoiled now on the vision of foriegn nations. The way LTTE is following is incorrect and could not be accepted, but thereis no other way left for them in this situation. Just for this reason, the way they are following cannot be justified.
The tamils who are suffering should be taken care by the international community.
Don't have ill-feelings for Tamils.
Know the facts and talk.
When somebody talk about northindia and southindia divide, please know about the Ancient indian history and know where the northindians have come from?
Talk for unity because India is a country with diverse background, many languages, cultures and so as Indians we shouldn't have have hard feelings for any of our fellow indians.
Let us accept and help each other afterall the average age of an Indian is 65 years.....

LTTE may be a terrorist organisation but the tamilians are not.

The "homeland" claim of the LTTE has no standing. The Tamils are suffering because of the LTTE. Further, not only are Tamils suffering but so are all the non-Tamil Sri Lankans. The Sinhalese, Moors, Malays, Burghers, Bohras, Sindhis are also suffering. Suffering is not just a Tamil phenomenon.
But let's be clear:
Punjab is the homeland of the Punjabis Gujarat is the homeland of the Gujaratis Maharashtra is the homeland of the Marathis Orissa is the homeland of the Oriyas Karnataka is the homeland of the Kannadigas Andhra PRadesh is the homeland of the Telugus Kerala is the homeland of the Malayalis

Dear On, Get your basics corrected and read the constitution. The sates were made on linguistic basis. It did not say what you have said Punjab for Punjabis... You are saying things from your hat. All parts of India is for all Indians. No one can stop anyone from rsisdng anywhere else. Agreed, there are instances where local population tries to kick out other linguistic minority but that is the real side of vote bank politics which our patriotic leaders indulge in.

Yes, all parts of India are for all Indians. Just like all parts of Sri Lanka are for all Sri Lankans. But that doesn't change the fact that Tamil Nadu is the HOMELAND of the Tamil people and gujarat is the HOMELAND of the Gujarati people and Karnataka is the HOMELAND of the Kannada people.
