Aani,
Gaja
We may be family
This discovery confirms the power of my great grandfather A M Pillai who established a Business Empire in Burma. Whenever I need direction in Business affairs I seek great grandfather's blessings.
I believe in this power

Sansare,
But, after world settled with political boundaries, even nature is not good in respective location, they cant move away.
I don't think so.
English people divided India and gave one of the most vulnerable places of the world for floods to Bangladesh.
Due to flood, the place has rich soil, but flood kills 100s every year.
British did not do that.
In fact they brought many Kingdoms together as a bigger India. But, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru divided it into three pieces. India, East Pakistan and West Pakistan. West Pakistan always dominated the East and then India helped East Pakistan to become as Bangladesh.
So, it is South Asians did it and not British.
Some African countries, are facing drought always, but they cant move into new lands. In ancient times, people move from place to place, when the climate is not favorable. Today they cant.
Because European robbed entire Africa years ago. Destroyed natural buffer system that helped the people.
So, people with much resources have an obligation to divide and share them with less-fortunate people.
Yes, why not. Because they robbed from other to become rich. Thats how many charity institutions formed and do something. But, it should be done in more organized manner.
Sansare,
I believe in nature than any other powers.
We human have polluted to world, destroyed the Eco system, broke the natural control system by killing many predator animals such as lions, tigers, etc.
Invented medicine to live long.
But, Nature is so powerful and will always react to balance the ecosystem.
We always describe two disasters - man made disaster and natural disaster.
But, most of the natural disasters are resulted from actions of the human on earth. Floods, land slide, Global warming, etc are some examples

Samanj,
I believe
your mother to be a pretty lady.......
I hear people say that my mother is goodlooking. But my mother looks very Indian/Sri Lankan. My mother's eldest brother married a Burmese and settled down in Burma. They have three children - One boy and two girls. The girls are beautiful looking.
As for plundering Burma, some did add value. Another brother of my mum - Mr. Ratnam - worked for the British as a spy was caught and tortured to death. That was our family's contribution to Burma's contribution to cessation of war.

Anai,
I think the natural disasters are ideal opportunities for corrupt rulers to steal money. Aid should be direct to the people, not through the junta.
Then we need to develop a PTOM agreement. Isn't it??

PTOMS would have been sharing the plunder between the two rulers. I think aid should go direct to people:)) |

Nada doray,
Where were you all this time? I new that, you will popup from some where.
Ok Ok! I know that Burma was good Buddhist country before this damn christens landed there. And I feel sorry for what Mother Nature did to Burma. Also I feel sorry for Mother Nature not doing it to Wanni. May be Mother Nature have thought to punish later or give the opportunity us.
How about the promised cheap rice from Myanmar
If we can get cheap rice so much the better but we do not want to plunder rice like what your people did to Jordanian ship.
nada I think you are capable enough to understand this food crises is a world wide thing.
We are middle of war and our enemy is waiting to grab the land belong to Sri Lankans.
With all this we have to feed people, including our enemy, while fighting against Tamil Terrorists.
Millions if not billons disappeared during Tsunamy into the pocket sorry under the sarong
And don t forget that Millions and Billions that went North and East disappeared under the Veitti too, if you are not sure, raise VP s veitti then you can see bulge of Tsunamy funds.

Sansare,
Personally, I did some works with some UN people regarding disaster management field. UN always welcome such efforts, even from individual researchers.
You were then helping the process. When you call a group disadvantaged - that means you are judging. To judge at the international level, you need to be able to produce outcomes independent of any other group - so you do not feel elated by one being higher than the other. It's like a parental position. Participating in the process does not give you parental authority. The ability to produce independent, objectively measurable outcomes of world standards does

Anai, if I am correct,
there is a democratically elected party and the Military Govt.
No nation would give direct fund to the Military rulers other than the $25,000 given by SL. So Military rulers may need to come to a deal (50:50) with the elected party???
I don' think it is easy to deliver the service to the people. Otherwise it will lead to lot of corruption and not even 10% will reach the needy groups??? |

Mahadav,
British did not do that.
In fact they brought many Kingdoms together as a bigger India. But, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Jawaharlal Nehru divided it into three pieces. ...
Politically, you are correct. But, British surveyors did the separation making lines on the map, according to some political demands. So, they could have emphasized the disaster potential of the location.
Even the disastrous cyclone in 1970 influence to 1971 Pakistan war, which India helped to today's B'desh.
Floods, land slide, Global warming, etc are some examples
Landslides are mainly man related, but others are not that much. There are fluctuations in climate. Even you clear the forest, its not affecting to the Climate in large scale, only micro level.
Still scientists have not proved the relation.
And also, if you think one step further, you have to count all man made acts too as natural, since man is a pure natural entity.
I know most of you may not agree with this point.!
