TNT...
genuine greivances of those people have to be addressed and i think that's slowly happening in the east...
tamils in colombo are treated the same way as a sinhalese would be so the question is to eliminate ltte and then give solutions to the tamils in those areas...
southern tamils live peacefully due to the lack of ltte in those areas... whatever little harassment that happens from security checks is also due to ltte infiltrations to the south...
so no ltte...no harassment...
the days have changed from those of 20-30 years ago... people have changed...politicians have changed... except for the bunker rat... :)
Gosl doesn't call every tamil a terrorist but those who have taken arms against a peaceful society and an elected government...
those should be eliminated...
I do agree that you should improve those areas to the standards of the south

You talk about everything but the core of the issue. Why are you locked into a mentality that a separate country should not be considered at all? Let Tamils run their own affairs and maybe a century down the line, both the nations and all the communities on the Island would have progressed economically and socially to Western Eurpoean standards to consider coming under the banner of a union.

Think about it - If the South and West of lanka had been under the British and Dutch in 1949, you would have 2 Lankas - would your mindset about having Eelam be different in that context?

Kotiya:

Aiyo, Aiyo... looks like you have gotten upset..

Matto. There is no country called EELAm . That is why IC does not care about that? What an imagination? Could be another Film script.


That is the problem... Tamils have no safe place to go in Sri Lanka. That's why it is important that IC push GOSL to make such place. Of course NE area where Tamils are the majority is the only logical place for Eelam. If IC helps to make Eelam a safe place, that will solve lots of these kinds of problems that you see in UK happening again.

Sinthaka:

I see. But Eelam is not possible, when Tamils consist just only 18% of population and when there is no historical basis.


Pal, you saw what TNT said...

In fact there is a historical area where Tamils have lived for centuries. The duty of IC is to recognize that area and let Tamils live free there... If IC stops GOSL from attacking those Tamil areas, the problem will be solved overnight!

TNTamil,

You are quoting foreign countries here which have no relevance. 18% of population cannot demand a separate state from a 73% majority population, even through a referendum. Besides, there is no evidence of a historical Tamil civilization to support eelam claim.

Anyway, going back to the topic, anybody in Sri Lanka knows that a Sri Lankan Tamil living in Colombo genuinely wants the war to end, and do not care whether Eelam is achieved or not as long as they are economically comfortable. However, the overseas Tamil want to keep the war going, even if it means funding terrorism, as they see it as a ticket to win PR, and claim 'refugee status'. Some overseas Tamils also have learned to make a living out was through credit card scams, sham NGO's ect....BUT, do they realize that their terror funds to VP are killing their own flesh and blood in SL?

TNT,

So Do you think tht the most of Tamil nationals Lives in North and East.. as far as i know.. Most of them Lives in south with other nationals.. Crying for a Real Estate isn't answering anybody s grievances. I've Tamil friends who doesn't want to rule them by bunch of Criminals who made their Bunkers out of Rice Sacks and guarded them by Child Soldiers. by the way Are you from SL?

TNT...there's no justifiable reason for sri lankans to gievaway 2/3 of it's coastline and 1/3 of it's landmass as a separate country to a minority of 18% especially based on ethnicity...
Tamils have peacefully settled in the south and sinhalese people don't call it 'sinhala land'
As you know there aren't any sinhalese in so called tiger area and even the muslims in jafna were chased away...
another country within SL will never be created and so many years of war and ever depleting numbers of tamil population is ample evidence for this...

as far the brits and dutch are concerned... they forcefully took over Sri Lanka like they did with many other countries... there was never a legitimate reason or any historical background for SL to be split the way these people did it for their own petty gains... This is not even worth point of arguing about here :)
there have been many threads on the topic with lots of arguments from both sides and people like Mucha are history buffs who know much better of what they are talking about :)
