The main reason a good bowler may not make a good captain is in a tricky situation he may impose himself too much, without looking for others contributions. for ex. murali may use himself instead of others when wickets are hard to come by, not using the partnership breakers, to get a wicket. that is my opinion and read in some sites too.

Minorities cannot continue to be persecuted in a unitary state where only the elitist rulers of an ethnic community make the decision and governance .
'Tamil people in Sri Lanka have the right to self determination' Attorney Karen Parker, USA
TTM


Q: Do the Tamil people in Sri Lanka have the right to self determination?
A: When Tamils make the claim for self determination it is not a rhetorical claim. It's a legal claim and it has five components.

1. First the Land: The people who are claiming to self determination have to have an identifiable land. Tamil Eelam is clearly an identifiable land.

2. Governance: There has to be a historical governance of the people in question in that land. The Tamil people certainly have that.

3. Distinct culture: There has to be some way of distinguishing the people with the right to self determination from the other people who are exercising control of it.
The Tamil people are different from the Sinhala people. If they were, then there is the issue of self determination. The cultural distinction, religion, language etc is a veryimportant component. There has to be a cultural distinction.

4. Will: The international community is not going to support the claim for self determination unless the affected people want self determination. So, there has to be a will among the people that theoretically and historically have the claim for self determination to actively act on it, to realize it.

5. Capacity: The fifth component is that there has to be a Capacity for the people in question to govern themselves and obviously the Tamils meet that aspect, that test as well.
So, all five components are clearly met in the Tamil case for self determination.


Each community must make their determination and not one community leaders make it for other communities. Sinhalese PM SWRD passed Sinahala ONLY Act which was discriminatory and hence illegal and racist, for the benefit of ONLY Sinhalese people and against the interest of Tamil speaking Tamils and Muslims.

Sinhala Only Act is racist.
If the acts and laws are discriminatory each community must make their determination as to how best to be governed and not one community leaders make it for other communities. Sinhalese PM SWRD passed Sinahala ONLY Act which was discriminatory and hence illegal and racist, for the benefit of ONLY Sinhalese people and against the interest of Tamil speaking Tamils and Muslims.

Malaysian passed the Bumiputhra act which is beneficial to only Bumiputhras and discriminatory to tamils and chineese and therefore is illegal and racist.
