My perception of Tamils Part I
By Dr. Mala Amarasinghe www.lankajournal.org
Eternal complaint of Tamils, especially those who write to blogs, over minorities being treated second class citizens in Sri Lanka, made me to question my own conscience for its true image of Tamils. Naturally I hate Tamil terrorists and those who support them, irrespective of whether they are Tamils, Sinhalese or Muslims.
I rebuked my learned Sinhalese friends who talked high about military might of LTTE and ingenious war strategies of Pirabaharan. I saw my friends unpatriotic with a colonial mindset of backwardness and besides, selfish, gullible and low material. They spread the word of Tamil military superiority, just by gauging the number of people they killed, ranging from unarmed civilians, children and women, who travel in buses and trains and work their fields in villages, to ministers and heads of states and also the mayhem they created on ground.
