You are talking about 'Eelam Tamils', what about the other tamils...
It is simply poor tamil girls cannot marry because their parents cannot give a good dowry to groom. Aren't tamil grooms are pathetic in that sense. They simply look at girls money not who she is and what she can do. My wife's friend saves every cent she can save to give to her sisters..(may be she is giving money to LTTE too.. otherwise probably her family can't exist in SL...) |

The Tamil parents and brothers are giving the dowry to make sure their girl don't end up in some Arab household as maid due to hunger and poverty.
i guess, iending up in a brothel in trinco or a servant as south is more cherished by these hooters! |

it is nothing wrong in giving house and etc to bride if bride's parents have that. but it should not be demanded from bride's parents if they dont have that and that should not be an obtacle for marriage.
I am not saying anything bad about giving a dowry to a girl if the parents can afford it. But the problem now is, when the parents can't afford giving a dowry, their daughters will have to stay at home for ever...This had been a problem for Sinhalese about 20-25 years ago and not any more. But with tamils, it is getting worse year by year....it is probably the supply and demand problem.. |

it is the parents who demand unless it is love marriage. In a proposed marriage it is parents who handles all process leading to wedding and bridegroom is only have a say whether he likes to marry a particular bride after horoscopes match and other matters are agreed between parents of the parties.
But if you take sinhalese most of them are in love marriage and they do it in very young age as well. there is no dowry demanded by parents of the bridegroom. that is why sinhalese poulation is growing faster. |

yes. you are right.
However, this problem is rare among tamils living in overseas countries. lot of brides from eelam are marrying without dowry to bridegrooms living abroad.

TNA for APRC Only after agreeing with UNP
By Kelum Bandara
All Party Representative Committee Chairman and Minister Tissa Vitharana said yesterday he would invite the TNA for the APRC only after reaching consensus with the UNP regarding the political package for the resolution of the North-East problem.
Professor Vitharana was commenting on a statement by European Union delegation saying the APRC was incomplete without the TNA.
He said political parties in the APRC had now reached consensus on 90 per cent of issues related to power devolution, and even the UNP had agreed to consider coming back to the Committee once the remaining ten
percent was completed.
After we finalise the process, we will invite the UNP. Once there is a common approach for the problem between the two major parties in the country, we can consider the accommodation of the TNA. Otherwise, I am not ready to include a party which is succumbing to the pressure by the LTTE, in the committee at this hour, he said.
He said he held talks with the EU delegation that visited the country recently, and explained this matter to them.
However, I invited the TNA earlier. At that time, they declined to accept it, he said.
The APRC has presently suspended its deliberations in view of the SAARC summit. The TMVP has also become a party to the committee today.
Asked about the issues for which political parties are yet to see eye to eye, he declined to comment.

Urging civilians to reach security forces lines, Fonseka told The Island, that the enemy wouldn t have the time or the resources to effectively block escape routes. In the area west of the A9 road alone, three fighting formations were engaged in operations. by the time the LTTE marked its so called Heroes Day in late November, they wouldn t have anything to celebrate. 'They ll perhaps gather in an underground bunker,' he said.
here you go. another deadline by sarath.
let us wait and see whether he delivers the promise or extends the deadline as usual.
there are lot of excuese for failure to deliver the promise.
1) Iqbal Athas's critical reporting
2) Keith Noyer's defence reporting
3)INGOS
4)Kumar rupasingha
5 Mano Ganesan
6)Pakiasothy Saravanamutththu
7)Sunday leader and the editor
8)
