The extent of Sinhala hatred against Tamils is so deep rooted, the Tamils will never ever live in peace and dignity with the Sinhalese.
Tamils are the worst enemies of Tamils. Just look at the great Tamil leader Arumuga Navalar.
It was reported that in 1847, Arumuga Navalar - a Sri Lankan national hero - left the Jaffna Central College where he was a teacher because a low caste Tamil student (according to some accounts he was from the Eastern Province) was admitted to the school! He came to the limelight again approximately 30 years later when a famine hit the Peninsular. He worked tirelessly to provide food and medicine to the Jaffna high caste (Vellala) people only. His actions angered not only low caste Tamils but also a cross section of the society. However, as the most prominent leader of the northern people at that time he made a strong statement by his conduct. Discrimination to this extent was never observed among the Muslims and the Sinhalas. I
Is there any Sinhalese or Muslim national leader who had such racist mentality?
He is the father of Tamil nationalism.
They were only power hungry politicians. But Arumuga Navalar the father of Tamil Nationalism was a clear racist against his own Tamil people. |

LTTE uses children for fund raising propaganda- Geneva
http://defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20080913_01
The vast majority of Tamil diaspora members and Swiss nationals who attended a cultural festival in Thurgau in Switzerland were shocked to see schoolchildren as young as eight years enacting a drama dressed as child combatants using replicas of most lethal weapons. |

What you are referring to cannot be discussed or solved on this platform... change starts from the individual.
The issues are a two way road with many actors.
Anyhow, I have to take your leave for about 2 hours... if you are still here then, we will continue. |

The riot was sparked by the inflammatory racist speech of GGP in Navalapitiya, attacking the Sinhala Buddhists and the Mahavamsa (see The Hindu Organ, June 1, 1939 and other newspapers of the time). It was then that S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike (SWRD) saw an opportunity, and went to every one of the cities touched by the riots, and established branches of the Sinhala Maha Sabha (see The Hindu Organ, June 19, 1939). It was in this extremely heated atmosphere that GGP developed his fifty-fifty solution as a means of safeguarding the dominant position of the Tamils. Far from bridging the gap between the communities, every action of GGP was designed to drive this 'difference' between the Tamils - descendants of the Dravidians, and the Sinhalese, a 'hybrid mongrel race split of from the aboriginal Tamils and mixed with Aryan invaders' (as stated by GGP in Navalapitiya in 1939).
The racism of the GGP et al was matched by the SWRD group. It would seem that SWRD the feudal aristocrat, and GGP the caste-conscious Catholic lawyer, were both power-hungry manipulators of the people for further their own interests. The elder statesmen of the times, i.e., Baron Jayatilleke, D. S. Senanayake (DS), Mahadeva etc. charted a reasonably non-communalist line |

Although the race-based representation demand died a violent death in 1931 with bloodshed, race-based demands never died. All Ceylon Tamil Congress (ACTC) is a product of race-based political bargaining. It is undeniable that this is the first instance of a race-centred political party winning seats in the local legislature. In wide contrast most people rejected race-centred politics and rallied round the United National Party, independents and communist parties. Although ACTC joined the government, battle lines were drawn between Tamil race-centred political parties and mainstream political parties.
This lucrative niche was exploited by more and more aggressive race-centred political parties heavily intent on racial demands. The journey from ACTC to TNA is the evolution of these racial-demands.
It is crystal clear that Tamil racial demands originated almost 39 years before the Sinhala Only Act of 1956. First bloodshed making racial demands occurred not in 1956, but in 1931 which was 25 years earlier. However, without a doubt short-sighted decision making in 1956 rubbed salt into wounds 39 years old. Subsequent actions were even worse. War was justified in 1977 to forcibly grab a separate state for Tamils and this was put to practice in subsequent years. TULF that screamed on political platforms about the Promised Land of Tamils and about the boys who were working tirelessly towards it went extinct soon thereafter. TULF uncles were gunned down by the boys . Today the boys have created their own political party, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA). They have left behind the TULF leader! |

Thivia and other Tamil racisit who are exploiting this lucrative niche, brought our beautiful country down.
I wonder how peaceful Sri Lanka would be if we didn't have the recent Tamil migration from TN.(since 13th century)

Tamils are the worst enemies of Tamils. Just look at the great Tamil leader Arumuga Navalar.
This guy peacemakersri is almost making a fool of himself by keep on repeating the same post about Arumuka Navalar over and over again. I thought we are not allowed to do that here, why Mr.Brown is not taking any action against this fellow.
No Tamil considers Arumuka Navalar as a national hero. Navalar was a religious leader, and Vellala Arumuka Navalar was a casteist, no question about that and so were the majority of Kandiyan Govigama Sinhala Buddhists at that period.
The Kandiyan Govigama Sinhalese wanted to have separate federal state for themselves because they didn't want to deal with the low caste Karava, Durava and cinnamon peeler Sinhalese of the coastal Sri Lanka.
The Eelam Tamils came a long way from the days of Arumuka Navalar. All Tamils are united as Tamils to chase the Sinhala racists out of our home land.
