Not that I have any soft corner for Prabhakaran, but in my opinion, the damage caused by Sylvester James Velupillai Chelvanayakam to the Sri Lanan polity in general and to Tamils in particular is far more serious than that inflicted by other racists like Velupillai Prabhakaran or GG Ponnambalam. Chelvanayakm represents the culmination of *divide and rule* policy of British, while serving their interests.

SL Tamils, I believe, will one day abandon Prabhakaran (unless he got killed anytime before that). However, I wonder if they would ever realize the ideological damage inflicted by people like SJVC on their community and to all Sri Lankans in general.

If the LTTE is wiped out tomorrow will the Singhalese be willing to give or even talk about any of these concessions? VP is a realist who comprehends these very well. In most independence struggles there is loss of life and terrorism is what else other than terrorising people, which he does very well but he has a noble objective.
I think he has done very well for the Tamils and my only regret is that he is not Singhalese. He could have done a lot of 'cleaning up' in the south.

It is high time Lankans realised that the status quo cant go on, not for the Singhalese, not for the Tamils. Things have to change, and fast.

Why do all these GOSL supporters make such patronising statements that VP, or SV Chelva is the cause of all Tamil problems?

Reason - Tamils are easy to exploit. no race in the world history has produced this many traitors - Kadir, Devananda, TMVP, etc. When Sinhalese see all this, they just LAUGH. Then they make a mockery out of the situation and issue statements just like this article and all the comments. this is the truth few Tamils can stomach.

Israelis never are this patronizing towards Palestinians, or Turks are not like this with Kurds. There is a reason for this.

pharoah,
true but palestenians also dont have a LTTE. i.e single entity/

they are fractured with hamas, islamic jihad, al aqsa etc and all want equal share of the pie. all isreal does is makes sure it doesnt completely eliminate one group when it goes aftre its leadership.

that way they dont have to give anything


we have these quislings like you mentioned but the are not equally powerful as the LTTE.

TCK

i know, but whatever differences Palestinians have, their main aim never deviates, which is to remove Israeli occupation. This is what all Palestinians want, and no amount of money can buy them out of this

Tamils on the other hand are more concerned about their self-interests do what ever they can for power and money and desert their principles, except for a few. sad, but true. that is what happened to the 2nd most important LTTE millitary commander.

TC,

Palestinians do not have a single entity similar to LTTE but several organizations, because of a reason. Unlike LTTE, none of those militant Palestine organizations killed the leadership of other similar organizations because they never chased this pity dream of becoming the sole representative of Palestinians. I am not saying that those milatant organizations had a perfect relationship. However, none of them ever wanted to become the sole representative. Had they wanted they too could have eliminated the leadership of other organization under some bogus pretexts like *collaborating with Israelis* or *for being the agents of Mossad*.

I think this whole idea bout becoming the *sole representative* is something originated from the caste mentality. It, in a way, gave a solid platform for LTTE to eliminate leadership of other castes while consolidating its rule on Tamils under a more politicized pretext.

Despite my undiluted royal bloodline


Ask your mother how far this statement is correct.

Even though you real father may be laughing at you.
