While Bengali speaking People in East Pak had differences with Urdu people in West Pak, India intervened and provided them the Bengalidesh.
Sameway, when Tamil speaking people in North east of Lanka had problems with Singalish in south west of lanka, Inddia should have intervened in right way to provide them the deservin Eelam.
But the difference is while the issue came for Bengalis the India's power was with Indira who knows India / Indians feeling better than now when issue came for Tamilians the power was with Sonia who is basically from Itally.

Mukti Bahini of Bangladesh were NOT TERRORISTS unlike LTTE. Late Rajiv Gandhi was NOT ITALIAN, Vajpayee was not Italian either. If LTTE were freedom fighters then so are Kashmiri seperatists, Khalistanis, LET, Jaish M, Jamaat-ud-dawa, Naxalites, JMB, Abu Saif, Islamic Jehad, Hizbollah etc. etc. etc.

Well Said, Ganapathi !
Our Indian Govt. knews this (feeling of the Tamils in TN) very well through their ears and eyes (intel. agencies)....even in the month of May Mr Bhadrakumar (a former diplomat) wrote in rediff that Blood is on our hands due to our misguided policy in SL.
Whatever the central govt thinks, Majority if not all Tamils in India support SL Tamils.
Guess Rahul Gandhi's recent forays in TN is a move in order to appease Tamils. Lets see what vison he has for Tamils in India and SL.

Maybe for now. But legend never dies. The 100 year war in Europe is a classic example of ethnic war. India can never be happy, if one group is unhappy.

Isreal came into being after almost 1950 years. So Eelam will not take so long to be a reality.

People may die. Come and go. Kill and get killed. But, Freedom and the quest for Freedom never dies.. It is in the DNA, Blood and birth right.. We keep fighting..and keep passing the batton to next generation... Already it has been passed to next generation.. I can see that from the blogs...

Castro was also a terrorist in the 50s in the last century. Chandra Bose Nataji was also the same to the British; now there is Airbase in his Name. So please hold-on your horses before you could go on commenting.
If india Uses the similar tactics like the sinhala government, india would be like 20/30 piecs, we don't need china for that, like lot of people suggesting here(with out carring human lives and addressing the real issue)

What is the contribution of these countries for resettlement of Tamils, they are kept as prisoners against their will, theses countries are on the forefront when they supplied weapons. Elam Tamils lived a peaceful life only under the fighters ever since the British left the island, they never been secured under Sinhala rule. The current situation only shows that. Tamils has to make sure that there are no casualties on their side here after, I would blame India for their current suffering, and these counties should put pressure on Sinhala government to release them from these camps...north Indians should see this as humanitarian crisis

sri lankan tamils should reconcile with the sinhalese and try to live peacefully. a seperate tamil state in srilanka is not feasible. any move towards that can only prolong the suffering of the srilankan tamils.
Re: Re: Re: Must address the real issue
by Venkata on Sep 15, 2009 10:43 PM
thta's right. even srilankan govt also should provide equal rights to all citizens. tamils not to be treated as second class. freedom of speech and religious practices should be allowed. No human rights violation on minorities please.
Re: Re: Re: Must address the real issue
by karuna karan on Sep 16, 2009 05:43 PM
Nanda kumar 1st try have knowledge of history of srilanka.
minority srilankan tamils never asked for a seperate country, they only demanded equal rights.But sinhala majority & facist srilankan buddhists denied equal rights to tamils,tamils protested in peacefullways until 1983, but many tamils were killed by the srilankan army & police to crush to freedom movement.
Then only organistaions like LTTE came up, they took arms & started to demand tamil eelam.
so the root cause for this is denial of equal rights to tamil minorities by the facist majority sinhala's.

LTTE is not a terror organisation, they are freedom fighters like Nethaji. Due to Indian narrow mind & fear, India trying to destroy them.

It was declared as terror grp by India and was in the list of international terror grps as well.. and its actually sick to see u compare them with freedom fighters who fought for the country, went to jail, got beaten up, unlike Prbhkran who hid behind and let lacs of tammils die just to save his life which he eventually couldnt

by anonymous machine on Oct 17, 2009 08:24 PM
Hey Tamilan,
Don't compare oranges with apples. LTTE killed many tamils just because they were rivals. Netaji resigned from Congress Presidency when Gandhiji opposed him. All the Indian freedom fighters respected their rivals despite differences. Don't compare criminals with civilised thinking leaders.

so the maosits in andhra ....mujahids in kashmir...khalsa in punjab are also freedom fighters....a person who uses terror is a terrorsit bro...be it anybody...not necessarily any oragnization..any individual can also be...and plz dont dont compare LTTE to netaj bose....

Ashish, what you call Netaji, Bhagat Singh, who took weapons against British. That should be applicable to Prabakaran also. Now the choice is yours.

Tamilian, i have already posted my respone above. I cant compare the uncomparables, our freedom fighters fought from the front, went to jail, got beaten up several times.. unlike Prbhkran who was hiding behind and let lacs of tammils die just to save his life which he eventually couldnt

Because....Tamili has their relatives there.......they couldn't see it as a another country issue.......
If your cusin brother or sister are suffered for food / medicine, will you say it is another country issue?
Re: Re: Re: Re: It is very clear, India is not trust worthy
by Tamilan on Sep 15, 2009 11:13 AM
You are not correct. We all feel sad for what happened to LTTE and what is happening to our people there. Still keeping quite with a strong faith that India will answer for its unjustice act against our brothers and sisters.
Re: Re: Re: Re: It is very clear, India is not trust worthy

You only says that we never care about Srilankan tamils....... And,Lot of helping activities are happening through government....

by Ashish on Sep 15, 2009 11:18 AM
Whatever protests we saw against the war, the tammil protestors were holding LTTTE flags.. nobody was wearing a black band on their arms which would have indicated tht they cared abt the civilians.. it showed what they really wanted. They were trying to save the LTTTE and not the civilians

Hi Ashish,
R u happy when few indian students attacked in Australia. Just a attack that leads to send that student to intensive care..India Media started to focus on this issues 24 hrs..But in Srilanka during the final stage of war nearly 20000 people Killed..tamils in TN and abroad shows their unity on this issue..For 1 indian student u people worring this much?..why not tamils worry about 20000 tamils?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: It is very clear, India is not trust
by Aruna on Sep 15, 2009 10:46 PM
Why does india care when some bunch of jokers are attached in Australia? It is the same connection we Tamils have with the Srilankan tamils. Do not justify genocide and please read the history of Tamils in Srilanka.

You should have read my message.. i said the tammilians across the world were more concerned abt LTTTE and not the civilians.. I completely agree that the civilians got caught in this war between SL and LTTTE But try n understand, Why did this war happen, it happend bcuz LTTTE had been bombing lanka, and killing its civilians n leadership time n again for years. Had LTTTE not done this, the war would have never happend. If Prabhakkarn was a gr8 leader, he would hv lead frm front instead of hiding behind wall of civilians. So if u observe, its actually Prabhakrn and LTTTEs crimes for which the tammil civilians paid a heavy price for.

Regarding Indian media giving more attention to Aus incident, well makes sense, its Indianz getting attacked there, civilianz in SL are NOT indians hence maybe they dont deserve the same attention in Indian media.

Ashish: If you could educate yourself before commenting here it would be nice. LTTE is terrorist organisation. OK. fine. Do you know how it was created and why it was created. No non violences means of fighting was not working for over 3 decades. All they asked was equal rights. If you are denied your rights in your own country, then you may realise what it is.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: It is very clear, India is not trust
by Ashish on Sep 15, 2009 11:54 AM
I do care for Indians getting attacked in Australia a lot, and ya what happened to civilians in SL is most unfortunate, but its the LTTTE that i have no sympathy for. they deserved this
what is the contribution of these countries for resettlement of tamils, they are kept as prisonors against their will, thses country are are on the forefront when they supplied wepons. eelam tamils lived a pecifull life only under the fighters ever since the british left the island, they never been secured under sinhala rule. the current situation only shows that. tamils has to make sure that there is no causialties on their side here after, i would blame india for their current suffering, these counties should put presure on sinhala government to release them from these camps... north indians should see this as humanitarian crisis
