More the central govt talk against the tigers/tamils,there will be more the support from TN tamils to lankan tamils.
Looks like there is more support from TN tamils than the canadian/UK/France sri lankan tamils.
SL Tamils have to work cloesly with the TN media..
SL duputy HC, Hamsa have made good contacts with some media using/gifting money..
Did SL tamils ever collected money to get the support of the Media in TN??
never!.Money works well, Gosl knows that well.
Nothing can be won just only depending on TIGERS..

Kiwilankan,
I hope we can just separate and start again. i know I will be crucified for this thought. But, I really do believe that the division is too great to be patched now.
It is wrong to divide unnaturally as it is to unite unnaturally. They both 'look' their parts but no more. To get real value out of this war and its pain and loss - we need to recognize the natural divisions that already exist. Towards this we have to live for sometime in neutral times - without any concrete national level changes. I have done this through my projects. When I find that one side dominates I pause the activities funded by us - so they would first get used to the new way of participation. Many in rural areas have little idea of democracy. They try to take over power from the officials and hence continue with autocracy by using democracy. |

Kiwilankan,
There is a definite difference. I am sure you will agree that there are the VP types and there will be the Ponnambalam types and so on...
I worked directly with the Tigers and there was no enforcement. Often like members of this forum - they were confused by my management. Where I found that they had invested more than I and it was an avenue that was in the way of my global participation, I kept my distance. Where they found that participating in my ways would block their path - they kept out of my way. But todate we are bound by our common investment in independence. We just do not meet often - like the limbs of the body. |

What can I do...Maybe my Sri lankan upbringing has made me mistrust everything...
It's not limited to Sri Lankans. Most who have not had reliable returns find it hard to trust.
White friends of mine get very upset when I talk about Bali karma. But then they did not see any of it coming. I did - in 1999 and warned Mr. Howard expressly. I am able to complete the physical observations and logical thinking with my faith based feelings. Where I am not able to see a connection through the other two and I feel a need to express - I rely on my feelings. When we have done the work to draw up more than 50% of the picture / conclusion - our feelings based component will show the just picture.
love

Kiwilankan,
many other examples that are good...so I will let them die with me...
Once you raise the experience to the higher level of 'issue of independence' it would be the armed forces against civilians and not about Tamil v Sinhalese. You would find similar factors with NZ armed forces too. Hence all you are doing is preparing your kids for that reality - as I believe I have prepared mine and hence they would depend less on the armed forces and more on the intellectual forces. |

I am open to all offers of team work but I do not 'wait' for them. The LNP discussions are of immense value to me in knowing the natural feelings of those involved. In terms of publications - many of Lankan origins recognize me outside this forum because of my work through this forum. |

Kiwilankan,
I recently met a couple of people who could converse, read and write each others languages. It amazed me. For the first time I felt proud that I was born in SL. I have not felt this way since SL won the world cup in 96.
This means you are driven more by the known and less by the felt. United multicultural Sri Lanka with Equal Opportunity practices would be the one that would make you happy.
Through this you divide the issues / matters and facilitate both sides to produce their own half of the picture. It's because we were not able to do this that we facilitated the war.

Who is the real terrorist in Sri Lanka? Depends on whom you ask. The term 'terrorism' comes from Latin terrere, 'to frighten.' Post 9/11, the Sri Lankan State has jumped on the bandwagon of 'War against Terror' and has found it fashionable to use the word 'terrorists' to first hoodwink the international community and then later to distract its own Sinhala constituency from what is in essence, an ugly war of repression against a minority community who wants to restore their fundamental rights.
I don't know what the word 'terrorist' in Sinhala means. Yes, based on the bombings that had taken the lives of Sinhala civilians, it is an an act of 'terrorism.' Yet, in Tamil, the the word 'terrorist' means payangaravAathi . Everything the Sri Lankan State has done to the Tamil people since 1958 constitutes 'terrorism' by the definition accepted by the Internal Community. In fact, it was true 'terror' that the current Sinhala President and the Sri Lanka Armed Forces inflicted on the Tamils residents of the State, from Vakarai in the East to Paranthan in the North. They called it 'humanitarian operation to liberate the Tamil people from the clutches of LTTE.' What a pathetic joke to the Tamils who had to face the air and artillery attacks on a daily basis. How long would the Tamil people be subjected to this 'terrorism'? Probably as long as the Indian Central Government plays an active role in maintaining the status quo in Colombo.
