What right go and read the history of the island and how the Sinhalese discriminated the island's Tamil population from the time of independence in all spheres. Any peaceful protest by the Tamils was met with state sponsored agitation. Please read before posting bias

What is Sri Lanka or Ceylon is made up of two nations and kingdoms that the British united in 1833 to form the colony of Ceylon. The Southern Sinhalese kingdoms and the Tamil kingdoms in the north and east. So the island is made up of two nations. Not a Sinhalese nation with a Tamil minority . The Eelam Tamils were a nation by themselves and in a majority in their lands not some minority that lived in a Sinhalese ruled kingdom. If fact all the kings in the island, when the Europeans arrived, including the so called Sinhalese kingdoms , were Tamil. People who are ignorant of these basic facts keep posting bias. The Tamils have every right to ask for equality and just rights like the Sinhalese

At last, I found someone speaking with sensible data in Srilankan Tamils issue
It is a problem of unification made by British without protecting the interest of Tamils.
Tamils are not minority, they were majority in their ruling kingdom

Why Sri lanka Government wants to keep the military in tne North is simple. The fighters were eliminated from Lankan soil, true. But their presence in the other countries are evident. Whenever there is a demonstration, one can see the flags and the leader's portraits are displayed prominently, including India. The moment the control is relaxed in the north, there is every chance that these elements in foreign soil to infiltrate and recommence the agitation. I saw when the results of the election was announced, there were fire crackers in Tamilanadu (and also in the capitals of some western countries) and the supporters carried the flags and the photos of the leader of the banned outfit. However, the military should be moved from the civilian areas and kept elsewhere in order to preserve the country's sovereignity. This is my personal opinion. Nobody needs to get angry.

A token military presence is only needed not hundreds of thousands of heavily armed to the ratio of one military person to a Tamil civilian. They are being kept there deliberately to harass and humiliate the Tamil civilians in the north and east of the island and to facilitate the colonisation of Tamil lands by the Sinhalese to deliberately change the demography. Why are they confiscating thousands of acres Tamil lands? Building Buddhist temples on the sites of destroyed Hindu Temples? All this has nothing to do with the LTTE or tigers. We all know that you visit Sri Lanka and a mouth piece of the Sinhalese. You are an ethnic Telugu ( Brahmin) who lives in Tamil Nadu but constantly run down the Tamils. If you hate Tamils so much why are you in Tamil Nadu? Andhra or Telengana beckons you. Lastly what is wrong with the Tamils or others bursting crackers to celebrate the defeat of the Tamil killer Rajapakse? Why Tamils should not celebrate only you and the Sinhalese. Even many Sinhalese celebrated and burst crackers. This man killed more than 1450000 innocent Tamil civilians and treated the rest very badly. Even the UN is investigating him only Tamil haters like you support him. Hate Tamils but live in Tamil Nadu

Mr SSS, I am sorry to see your ignorance. I am from Tamil Nadu. My father, grand father and great grand father were sanskrit scholors from TN. If I were to tell my family tree this page may not be enough. I expressed my personal opinion. May be you have suffered in the war like many tamilians and sinhalese. My sympathies, but Its the clapping of two hands and not one. But my question is, celebrating is different and why the flags of an infamous militant organization and its leader and we all know he is(was) not a saint The Lanka government is trying to preserve the unity and oneness of the country. If you need another war, well so be it. Good luck.

Mr SSS, also not only me, but there are several Tamilians in TN, Sc,ST, BC and OBC do not condone LTTE. Please do not carried away by the interviews and shows telecast in the TV channels. Truth is silent and different. Kindly refrain from exhibiting your ignorance. we in TN do not need your lectures. Bye.

The Sinhalese were inconvenienced but hardly suffered. If they suffered it is nothing to what the Tamils suffered. It was their racism that created this problem and not Tamils nor the LTTE. Now trying to blame the Tamils is like the perpetrator stating the victim is to blame for resisting. The LTTE are no saints and no Tamil has ever stated than but were the only thing that Tamils had against brutal Sinhalese state sponsored racism. The LTTE is the child of Sinhalese racism and Indian opportunism. The violence and killing done by the LTTE pales with what was done to the Tamils by the Sinhalese and the Sri Lankan government. Even the UN stated both parties committed war crimes but the Sri Lankan government is the main culprit. Lankan government wants to preserve the unity and oneness of the country! ? Unity and oneness for them is Sinhalese Buddhist racism and superiority over the Tamils. If they want unity and oneness they should learn to respect the Tamils and other minorities in the land and their equal rights to exist. Not try to make them third rate citizens. This was not a Sinhalese only land but an ancient land of the Sinhalese and Eelam Tamil nation that was artificially united by the British to the Sinhalese advantage and Tamil detriment

What happens in Eelam or to support the LTTE or not or to self determine is only the business of the Eelam Tamils and not others. Support from outsiders is crucial and welcomed but we Eelam Tamils do not rely on it or seek approval. Our destiny and future is in our hands. It is we who decide what we want and not India or Tamil Nadu. If they support us that is fine If they do not we have to find another way. So the opinions of many self seeking politicians organisations and individuals or castes not from Eelam is now immaterial to us. It not them but it was who faced discrimination and genocide and still face this.

LTTE is created just as a reaction, after all the peace talks were failed.
Most of the Sanskrit scholars from TN are having wrong opinion about Srilankan Tsmil issue, I don't know why?
I came to understand the problems faced by my grandfathers doing Business in Srilanka (mother side) and Burma (father side), political hatreds started cropping as soon as British left those places and don't read Srilankan issue from 90's it has a long history since independence
