2. Lord Buddha entrusted Sri Lanka with Sinhala Buddhists to govern and safeguard it as a Buddhist nation.
This is true to a certain extent. As you see Buddhism is not being fostered and is being extinct in other places except for in SL. Even in India where it originated, as a religion it is not given it's due place. So we can safely assume that we infact are Lord Buddhas chosen people.
All the other facts you have stated does exist only in the Mahavamsa version created by the Jaffna vellalas.

Magha,
you have written,
Another proof that words 'Hypocrisy' and 'Tamil' had become synonymous.
Tamils try to say that fighting LTTE terrorists, and as a result of them using Tamils as Human shields making them vulnerable for collateral damages and unfortunate victims of a war is state terrorism. Well that rubbish needs more polishing today even to present as fake silver.
After this massive suicide for 30 years Tamils have achieved only death, destruction, starvation , displacement , indignity and humiliation and they are celebrating the destruction of Tamil society on a pseudo hero's day.
Magha, what is it called when you call a people who have been subjected to mass racist terror and who try to fight back 'hypocrites'?
What is it called when you tell a people who have suffered at the hands of the state so much that they have achieved nothing by fighting for their human rights and human dignity?
What is it called when you whitewash the massacre of Tamil civilians by the security forces by saying that the Tigers were using them as human shields?
Racism is an appropriate word for it. What do you think?
If you disagree with the methods of struggle, then say so. But you find yourself squarely on the side of the same State that continues to bomb, kill and harass Tamil civilians all over the country.
Your constant refrain is that it is the LTTE that has brought war upon the Tamils but you know that this is patently false.
The disenfranchisement and violence towards the Tamil population began well before the LTTE came into the picture. The Tamil politicains and people were protesting using peaceful methods, Ghandian methods, and all it brought them was greater violence and contempt from the State.
Do you suggest that they simply should have accepted that status quo? Where is your critique of GOSL state terrorism? WHere is your analysis of 'Sinhala BUddhist' chauvanism?
I do not place an equal sign between State Terrorism and the Rebellion that arose against it. The GOSL has the fundamental responsiblity to guarantee the safety and security and equal rights for all its citizens.
The GOSL ever since independence went about with a conscious mission of marginalizing the Tamil people through brutality and discriminatory legislation. If the movement that this brutality produced has also become ruthless and brutal that is the reposnibility of the GOSL. The day the GOSL offers a comprehensive political solution to the Tamil people and the LTTE refuses it then we can start talking about equal responsibility. But to date the GOSL has done nothing except continue the regin of terror that SWRD started. And you Magha find your self in the camp of SWRD's heirs.
Hey Magha, by the way, did you create Ruwani in the lab. Little female frankenstein experiment gone wrong? |

1983 was planned by extremist tamils as they planned a back lash from sihalas in 2006.
Until 1983, Tamil extremists killed SLA and all the govt, officials in ruthless way.
1983 killing of 13 soldiers in EXECUTION STYLE was the las t and the way tamil extremists could fool sinhala south. |

Magha I know you are not a chauvinist, but the fact is the majority of Sinhala people believe they should have superior rights/claims to the whole island from as far as Jaffna to Galle. After all Tamils are ' foreign invaders' whose homeland is Tamil Nadu, therefore Tamils rights in SL should be equal to the 'guest' rights they have in other countries e.g. UK, US etc. That is the popular and genuine viewpoint that the Sinhala masses have. Therefore, no Tamil should expect any powersharing from the Sinhala people - just look at the drivel writen by 3forces.
My Q to you is if you believe SL Tamils should have equal rights to Sinhala people, then what is wrong with the Tamils controlling the Tamil-dominated districts (the North i mean - not the East) and the Sinhala people controlling the Sinhala districts. Surely that is more fair than the Sinhalas controlling all the districts and ruling over the Tamils as well as the Muslims. And before you say the Muslims have not been asking for autonomy, then you should read the SLMC demands to the government.
If a partition occurs in the worst-case scenario then I assure you that nearly ALL of the Tamils from the North who currently reside in the South will definitely move back if they have to. Most are refugees escaping from the war. A peaceful state in the north will also allow the Muslims and Sinhalas to come back there and live there in peace.
Tell me what you find wrong with separation of any sort in the island, whether it be federal or separate state? If the North is separated then what would be the problem? |

No need of Riots. Kfirs, White Vans and yet to come KRD would be highly appropriate. Only resolution to the ethnic conflict. |

This is a short documentary, telling you about the history of Sri Lanka and Tamils. How the Tamils lost their rights to live(1983), how they attacked by the sinhala majority and why the war started.
Mr. Brown I like to know who wrote this line for this video clip.
Did you..as the moderater...?
This short introduction is misleading readers of the forum. This doesn't say the history with enough details. Also, it was a group of thugs started to kill Tamils (Sinhalese and also some Muslims were there),..and after that rumors of 'Koti hits Colombo' ignite the sad chapter.
Now, not only most of Sinhalese, but also IC agree that SL dint looked into Tamil issue well in past 50 years.
Time to correct errors and build the trust.
When Tamils see this video, they dont see, how brutal the way LTTE started its struggle by killing villagers, setting off bombs in Colombo, and killing other Tamil armed groups.
So, while agreeing to legitimate rights of Tamils, I wonder about the danger of showing bit bios pics to people. Young Tamils will learn this,..and will think the way LTTE behave is 100%. We must not mis-lead them...we must let them to learn the full truth. If not, the trust is going further away. |

3forces,
so you want people to 'Analise' your 'background' eh? Just do what you usually do and hang out on the beaches in Colombo and you will find plenty of foreigners who want to 'Analise' your 'background'. |
