Can a NON racist reject tamil homeland concept? It is tamil who decide we need a homeland a not.
Yes, Tamils have rights to ask 'can we have a part of this country to form a separate state, please?'
And GOSL has rights to say 'NO' politely without even a simple explanation.

Tamils homland concept is traditional one. Tamils lived there for a longtime and they are eastablished there
my my must be from the ealam school of history
Can a NON racist reject tamil homeland concept? It is tamil who decide we need a homeland a not.
so in that cases other races in the island have the right to choose their home land as well.
so the sri lankans has already chosen the whole sri lanka as their home land, to bad for WE TAMILS

Tamils homland concept is traditional one. Tamils lived there for a longtime and they are eastablished there
To legitimise the separatist campaign thus originated to claim for the existence of a historical and linguistic Tamil 'Homeland' within Sri Lanka as well as its geographic boundaries had to be established. Towards this process (there actually being no historical Tamil homeland in any part of Sri Lanka) history had to be distorted and rewritten and an international disinformation campaign launched. This campaign has been very successful in portraying a highly distorted picture to the international community. Its success has been partially due to total inactivity of successive Sri Lankan Governments, which never made any serious attempt to counter this insidious campaign. However, this myth seems to have been abandoned now by some separatist followers in view of the facts established against it by recognised historians at least at a late stage.
Distortion of history for the purpose of legitimising the purported existence of a 'Historical Homeland' is best illustrated by the following resolution adopted by the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) in May 1976 at Vadukkoddai.
'Whereas throughout the centuries from the dawn of history, the Sinhalese and the Tamil nations have divided between them the possession of Ceylon, the Sinhalese inhabiting the interior parts of the country in its Southern and Western parts from the river Walawe to that of Chilaw, and the Tamils possessing the Northern and the Eastern Districts'
THE TULF RESOLVES THAT:
'...Tamil Eelam shall consist of the Northern and Eastern Provinces.'
The TULF resolution tries to establish a Tamil homeland (Eelam) in the Northern Province and Eastern Province and is based on a paragraph from a single piece of writing, the Cleghorn Minute of 1799. Briefly,
stated, Hugh Cleghorn was a colonial official, who after a brief visit to the island wrote a memorandum on the Dutch system of administration of justice in the maritime regions which the British had just conquered. The Dutch maritime settlements referred to was a thin strip of coast line in the South West which had a Sinhalese majority and a thin strip of coastline in the east Jaffna in the north where were Tamils and Muslims.
The TULF has deliberately distorted this to extend the Dutch-held coastal strip occupied by Tamil speaking people (as described by Cleghom who referred to the Dutch maritime settlements only) to the whole of the present day Northern Province and Eastern Province. (Map 1), which were created much later around 1874.
Thus the facts of history, demography and geography have been distorted by Tamil political groups and a clever attempt has been made to mislead the international community on this dubious claim of the existence of a 'historical Tamil Homeland' in Sri Lanka.
It must also be categorically stated that this has been rejected by well known scholars as not conforming to known facts of history and that the paragraph from the Cleghorn Minute has been misinterpreted in support of Tamil claims.
The accepted position of the Sinhalese is that Sri Lanka is the homeland of ALL its citizens, irrespective of race or religion. The Sinhalese have never proposed any discriminatory measures against minorities nor have they claimed special privileges or territory in contrast to the Tamil separatists. |

Why waste talking about peace talks or political solution when all are ready for a WAR.

Nahmuhan,
very true! and also GOSL must put forward a political solution that fullfill tamils aspirations!
There is a system running there right now and it is in the format of a constitution. There are few minor things that need to be corrected, other than that no need of new solutions. there should not be any difference between Sinhalese, Muslims or Tamils under one system, all should have the same treatment. If not, something is there that we have to tune or fix.
If something wrong with your computer, try to correct it in a smart way instead of trying to smash your computer expecting it to get correct itself. If the systems of governance is wrong, do the same. Look for non-violence way of correcting it, so everyone can heap the harvest.
At the end of the day, all are humans. Today you may be a Hindu Tamil (Piedmon), but few years later, you will be a Christian Tamil (Berty). Sometimes you may marry a Sinhalese guy or girl(need not of examples) So it is baseless to fight each other for language or religion and make small countries for these people with changing parameters.
