Well its not happening is it. Why r you in this forum then, go get wanni citizenship and live happily ever after, better go back to Tamil-Nadu!
Such thinking is wy you got banned internationally!
Tamils in Tamil-Nadu, Tamils in Tamil-only eelam, Tamils in the republic of Sri lanka..
So what seems to be the problem?
If so others should also have one!

Muchalinda,
However, my point is not that. Even if Thesawalamai is 'the' Sri Lankan Tamil Systems of law, still there is nothing for you to worry about demerging North from East, since it has never been implemented anywhere in the East since your Dutch masters first introduced it.
We need a start and I believe that Thesawalamai is a traditional start that already exists. It is actively used in Colombo. The form may not be most appropriate for today's North and East. But that is one avenue through which the work and sacrifices by Tamils could be highlighted distinctly. It must be practiced to ease the burden on the Common system which is based on Roman Duth law - as per my recollection.
love

MAGHA,
Can you please tell me from here you found all those information about the said topic (if you don't mind). I failed to find any substantial information on Thesawalamei on the net.

Thesawalami law is undemocratic in every aspect and being applied in the territory out side Jaffna further shows it's very nature of Tamil Racism which is exhibited by Jaffna Tamils.
Jaffna Tamils who are complaining that they do not have freedom in Sri Lanka have the right to acquire property in any part of the country and Thesawalami law allows them not to sell any property to Singhalese. They can own property in Jaffna and in the South or East. but Singhalese can not buy property in Jaffna nor they could buy property own by Jaffna Tamils in the south or East because Racist Jaffna Tamil men can object their spouses or estranged spouses selling their property to Singhalese.
This Tamil racist Thesawalami law of Jaffna did not develop after 1954 or 1983, but existed for more than two hundred years.
Claiming a Tamil Home land in North and East these Jaffna Tamils demanding 1/3 of the country and 2/3 of the coastal area , now by a 200 year old racist law granted to them by the Dutch can prevent any Singhalese purchasing property belonging to their spouses in the South .
Jaffna Tamil racism which already existed for hundreds of years exploiting the special privileges they received in education and administration during the 400 years of European colonialism wanted to keep the Singhalese majority subjugated like in South African blacks even after the independence, but back fired thanks to the the strong Singhalese Buddhist Nationalism. |

LOL.. when will the yaks learn that a merger or demerger of NE is not upto them, it's the Tamils decision to make and we've decided we want to 'demerge' all of NE from Sri Lanka ;)
Tamils decision to demerge all of NE from Sri Lanka made the Tamils life miserable, brought only death, destruction and loss if dignity over the last 25 years. The demerger did not happen and it is not going to happen.
The cows exported to West from Vanni for fund raising become donkeys eventually. |

Magha, Mucha and Gaja,
Thanks for the informative postings.
What I could be learning from this is that,
(a) There is no such system of law originally as Tamil or Sinhalese at the present moment, even though they are the ones who are now living in the island.
(b) Thesawlamei is well in accordance with the caste based system.
(c) The so called Sinhala racism is actually a projected version hypothesized by the Jaffna Tamils to cover-up and sustain their loosing position in the peninsula.
Having learned these I have few other question.
(a) Should the Thesawalamei be installed in, say, in North, is it possible that Muslims in the east be granted with Sharia Law?
(b) Would an organization, currently representing the Tamils according to some, originated from a low caste (may be gaining support of other castes due to lack of options), agree with a law that restricts the sale of land in this nature?
(c) Who owns the land of the parts of North and East?

Racism, like Sexism has its positive side. It is called diversity. If Tamils were recognized to be superior workers it is understandable that they were given this recognition through the laws governing them. It's an old fashioned way of divide and rule / federalism.
Until we know the Truth - we need common principles / laws to complete the matter and show the outcome to the Public. Once we know the Truth we must not use principles. That Truth must form the basis for tomorrow's principles for others.
By recognizing the existing Thesavallamai laws as the starting point for Tamils, we are recognizing their uniqueness. It is a graceful way to honour Tamils who have suffered due to discrimination by majority.
It does not matter which system we use. We must use it genuinely. I was for example arrested under Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901 which applied to stocks and cattle management!! Yet, the UNIVERSITY of NSW - which claims to be a modern international university chose that legislation because it could not find any other to suit their wish. Even with this one - they could not fit their personal opinions and hence their charge is helping me in my compensation claim. I do believe that when I win here, it would motivate Tamils and other minorities to fire up the Sri Lankan legal system, under the supervision of the IC.
If Aussies can have ancient laws why not Tamils.
love

Vishnu,

It is my understanding that Muslims have Mukkuwa laws parallel to Thesvalamai.
Would an organization, currently representing the Tamils according to some, originated from a low caste (may be gaining support of other castes due to lack of options), agree with a law that restricts the sale of land in this nature?
This is secondary. Thesawalamai is already legitimately accepted. It's a kind of management strategy to recognize Tamils and help them have a special start point from which to develop their own judicial and administrative systems.
Who owns the land of the parts of North and East?
It's privately as well as publicly owned. In private ownership, the husband drives the ownership which is different to the Western system.
love
gaja
