It seems this 'Child Solidiar' propaganda has back fired the SLG. Mr. Kadigamar, must be cursing the people whoever violated this human right.

I think the major supporters of LTTE in the south are JVP & SU, More the south get extrem, the tamil people will support LTTE and support for division. (which is already exsisting)

There should be concentions should be build with these two nations in order to merge the country as one.

Therefore, SLG should act positively to clean it's name in UN & win Tamils hearts,

Uncle Mark,

Nowadays you don't know which name belongs to whom???

Neither its an original Tamil name nor an original Sinhala name. It is an Indian perhaps a South Indian name.

It comes from Indian literature story 'Nala-Damayanthi'. Supposed to be originaly from the Nala Champu story of the 13th century in Kannada!

Of course there was a Tamil movie also by that name and a Sinhala sprinting queen of Sri Lanka

Take it as just a name!

Mark - is it Roman, English or Hebrew????????

Kula son!

Kula,

Neither its an original Tamil name nor an original Sinhala name. It is an Indian name.


Most of the Sinhalese names come from North India as if Ashoka, Priyantha, Sarath, Sachitra, Jagath, Nirosh, Suresh, Rumesh, Dinesh etc.

Its the same came for the tamils their names come from South India.

So you are right what ever we call we have lot of names from India hence we tend to copy them. This will continue unless we are colonised by a western country to take English, Biblical names.

JRJ,

Thats right.

We also change them slightly to suit us. End of the day most names are from India.

I don't care whether you are a Tamil,a Sinhalese or an Arab. As far as you are deliberately involved in spreading distorted news to justify LTTE's terrorism you are doing the damage. Karuna's child recruitment doesn't justify VP's recruitment. Cowards supporting terror like you are as good as terrorists!

Even if it is a Reuter's report you highlighted it as an incident of a death caused by hunger due to closure of A9, which is not true. In your haste you have forgotten to delete that second statment of the judge which says it has nothing to do with A9.

Only truth is bitter not lies!! Only the terrorists will benefit your sweet lies!
