TRIBUTE SLA,
It's not from Times of India, could you gimme the link to the source?
Times of India:
'... Tamil popular culture especially cinema has helped this sub-nationalism gain deep roots in society. The response to the Tamil cause across the sea is not merely sympathy for a people who have lost homes and livelihoods but a deep sense of identification with a people who are part of an imagined cultural nation....
The tigers....have militarised the political space so much that democratic dissent and negotiation are impossible. This political vision, limited to a spatial understanding of nationhood, is hardly emancipatory. An alternative vision of politics is necessary to recover the political space for the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka. The LTTE, which has systematically destroyed civil society in areas under its control, is unlikely to provide it.'
