Sri Lanka is a Sihnhala country
Same as England is a English country
The only solution to the ethnic conflict is to get all the Tamil to learn Sinhala and name Sinhala the Official language
Learn or get out |

Even the ignorant have heard about realism.
England tried to rule the annexed Scotland and Wales just like Sri Lanka tries to rule the Tamil speaking ares (N-E Provinces) annexed by the British for administrative convenience. The difference is that when Scotland and Wales wanted separation the Labour Government conducted a referanda and set up Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly to devolve power to the provinces. In contrast Sinhala Buddhists (monks and Opposition) started anti-Tamil riots to kill off the BC-Pact.
We cannot compare the English civilised acts with Sri Lankan barbaric horrors. |

A typically arrogant, chauvinistic attitude which brought the country to its present pathetic state.
It is the chauvinist who should learn not the others. |

Many, if not most, members of a certain ethnic group view the members of the other group as subhuman and not worthy of existence due to the above reasons
I do not know about the Sinhalese but Tamils do not think that of the Sinhalese or of any other group. They fight the enemy as equals.

On a practical level this means that the government should not consider the race of a person for any purpose e.g. the indication of race on national identification is unnecessary and counterproductive
Then Sri Lanka will lead Australia in democracy

For all of this to occur legislative, constitutional, administrative and sociological change must occur. The LTTE will not accept any system of plurality and hence it would be na ve to expect any change from the LTTE, or the brainwashed and oppressed people under them. The burden lies on the average Sinhala voter (the majority) to elect a government that will ensure that all these goals are achieved. The perceptions of the Sinhala voter must be changed via education and exposure (and perhaps war weariness). Only when these goals are achieved and all ethnic groups feel they are equal citizens the voice of strife be dumb and only then will we march to a mighty purpose , the betterment of all our citizens, united as one.
How can people elect a government who will do all the good things when LTTE as the sole representatives of the Tamils oppose every thing except a Tamil Eelam?
So commonsense is to defeat LTTE and bring democratic rights to tamils every citizen of this country enjoys. Today there is no discrimination in education from grage one to universities, Tamil is an official language but unable to implement properly because of the lack of participation of Tamils educated enough to carry out the necessary tasks.
Promoting English is good but it takes years to make the English work at every grass root level.

Magha,

Wrong. Tamils as a general rule take pride in being proficient in English. That is also their way of remembering their colonial past when they had greater recognition than the Sinhalese in Public Service. Now that is helping them in countries where English is the common language.

What is the solution to the ethnic conflict in Sri lanka
This ethnic disagreement is between Sinhalese and Tamils.
If there is only one ethnic group in this country, then there won't be any conflict.
Best thing is to eliminate one ethnic group.
Sinhalese are the rightful owners of this country and the majority, 78% of total population.
Tamils are the intruders and 14% of total population.
Hence eliminating Tamils is the only solution.

Go, kill and get killed. But don't wait in a safe distance, far away from the scene, and make others die and suffer. |
