Tamils

How many Tamils are employed in southern Sri Lankan companies? (See the number of high caliber Tamils in Sri Lankan banking sector, see hotel trade, see film trade, see other industries)
Do they experience any hardship professionally due to ethnicity? If so, how come they hold such high positions?

See how many Tamil kids are getting educated in International schools? They have outnumbered other ethnicities.

Royal college has Tamil medium, DS has Tamil medium. So many Sinhala major government schools have Tamil medium and they share equal opportunities. How many Tamil major schools have Sinhala medium?

Private schools like St. Thomas , Trinity etc have quite a large number of Tamil students.

Travel Wellawatte, Dematagoda, Dehiwala, Kotahena etc and see the number of Tamils sharing the comforts.

Go to Pettah market and Fort. Walk along the streets and see how many Tamils are doing business there.

Start from Kotahena and travel passing Dehiwala. Sinhala shops are outnumbered by Tamil traders. I don t see any hardship put on them.

Get into a bus and listen how many speak in Tamil.

Try to find a single Sinhala board in Wellawatte. All are Tamil and English.

Go to a government campus. Let s say Colombo campus. See the number of Tamil students. See the number of Tamil lecturers. They share equal opportunities. I never saw them being humiliated except they themselves had divisions saying Batticaloa Tamil, Jaffna Tamil and Upcountry Tamil. They have a separate Tamil Union, their cultural events, their religious events.

How many kovils are there in Colombo ?

See the number of Sinhalese visiting kovils and Tamil shops. Doesn t it display the harmony?

How many Tamil representatives are in the parliament?

See the number of Tamil youth musicians in Colombo .

Please consider these statistics. If somebody can come up with numbers and percentages, it would reveal the truth. This is what we should call rational. Our generation should not waste time on arguing what s unknown to us and what s not experienced by us. Live today, not yesterday.

Jaffna and Trincomalee have ports, heavy industries, bus stations, railway stations, radio and TV broadcasting stations, universities and so many other facilities.

How many Sinhala medium schools are there in Northern Sri Lanka ? (None)

How many Sinhala employees are in Northern Sri Lankan offices and industries? (None)

How many temples are there in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka ? (One, at Nagadeepa)

Can a Sinhalese travel unharmed in Northern Sri Lanka ? (Perhaps now, after the defeat of the LTTE)

How many Sinhalese are in Northern and Eastern universities? (None)

Now, answer me. Where is ethnic cleansing?
