Let India take full advantage of LTTE. Till Indian diplomatic skill became an effective weapon, we should help LTTE to grow as a full scale Army by recruiting people from Bihar and Gujrat. Then we should send then secretly to all those countries where Indian origines are disturbed by dirty locals. This could be a right tactical policy for India till it become really a super power....

Nice to see Bihari Babu from Ranbir Sena and Armangamalglaman from Tanjur doinga joint Army excercise at the SriLanka border. Now Bihari Babu will eat Sambar or our Arman.. will eat Roti. Which language will they communicate to each other. Due to Anti Hindi feeling Prabhakarn wont allow their cadres to speak in Hindi and its a deadlock for Bihari to learn Tamil.

Super User Puttar, no country can become a super power by mare internal growth of economy. You have to loot other country's wealth too. This new LTTE with Gujrati and Biharies will do the same for India. One need not explain why the selection of Gujraties and Biharies for such a special mission ? Thik hain Beta !
REDIFF DOES A WRONG BY ALLOWING COMMENTS ON ARTICLES LIKE THIS. BECAUSE NORMALLY IN INDIA ALL TAMIL PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SUPPORTING LTTE. BUT OTHER INDIANS ARE STRONGLY OPPOSE LTTE AFTER RAJIV'S ASSASINATION. IT IS WELL KNOWN BY EVERYONE. NOW YOU SEE THE READERS ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER BY WRITING COMMENTS ON THIS. THESE TYPE OF ARTICLES MAY DIVIDE INDIANS UNITY. SO AVOID THE COMMENTS PROVISION ON THESE TYPE OF ARTICLES.

only vaiko and Karunanithi are supporting LTTE for personal reasons and NOT ALL TAMILS support them. recently central minister Mr.Elangovan (who is none other than grand son of Priyar fore father to all the dravidian movement) has strongly condemed the LTTE and Karuaninithi's support to them.

most of the party is supporting LTTE except ADMK and congress... same time mosty 70-80% supports morally as i had discussion with tamil friends.
India should never give shelter to Prabhakaran who masterminded assassination of a top Indian leader ie Rajiv Gandhi. Terrorist organizations targetting innocent civilians or top leaders should never be tolerated. Rajiv was a former Prime Minister and an icon of India. India should oppose LTTE in same way as other Pakistani terrorist organizations.These terrorists cannot achieve their goals and they will be either killed or hanged if captured because they are terrorists. They live the life of terrorists and after they die in rebirth itself they may not lead a good life and their life will be full of misery due to theie past sins.

Sri Lankan forces arrest 1,500 Tamils in South, detention camps overcrowded
Sri Lankan armed forces have arrested around 1,500 Tamil men and women in wide scale cordon and search operations within the last 48 hours in Colombo and other districts in South, Tamil parliamentarians told media in Colombo on Sunday. 351 of the arrested persons in Colombo, currently detained at Boosa detention camp, complained that many of them were arrested despite documenting their identity and that they have not been provided proper food and drink for the last 48 hours. 51 of the detainees, at Boosa, were females.
Parents of the detainees visited the camp Sunday, with opposition UNP MP T. Maheswaran, and witnessed that the detainees have not slept the whole of last night as there was no room to lie down and they had to sit on the floor.
"It is difficult to provide basic facilities to the inmates due to this sudden over crowding," said Janaka Chandrajith, the officer in charge of the detention centre.
Many of the arrested youths told the reporters that they were arrested though they were in possession of their National Identity Cards, Police registration and other relevant documents to prove the authorization for their stay in the area where they had been arrested.
Some of the persons were arrested in their work places, they added. Some of the arrested civilians said that their family members do not know that they had been taken into custody by the SLA.

Please do not compare the situation in Kashmir with that in Sri Lanka. Infact the situation in SL is more akin to that of Isreal and Palestine where tamils like the Palestines are pushed to a tiny corner by the Sinhalese majority government. The tamils are clearly marginalised in every aspect of Srilankan society, be it politics, educations, health etc. Im not trying to justify the LTTE and its actions for they too have blood in their hands. However, it is clear that the Srilankan government is the more powerful between the two and it is the government who should take the initiative to ensure that the tamil people are given equal rights and a fair representation in SL society.

Dear fact Speaker it looks like you really do not seem ot knowing anth facts of all. India does not have an official policy of discriminating its minorities.either by language race or religion. It doesn not bomb its citizens from the air or shell them destroy their homes temples/ chrches schools and orphanages. It does not have offical policies ataing that al head of departments armed forces president Prime mininster shoudl only be Hindus lile it isated in SrI Lanka they shoudl b eonly Sinhala Buudhists ( not Sinhal Christian too). It doen not have policies lik in Sri Lanka stating that Sinhla student have to obtain much lower marks than Tamils to gain entrance for th esame course. It doen not deny emplymoment. Indian does not indulge in Ethnic cleaning activitiesagians its minorities, the Sri Lankan government does in the Tamil East. In fact in India it is the majority HIndus who have been ethnically cleansed out of Kashmir. So the Tamil in Sri Lank ahve every rignt to ask for a seperated state all other means of obtaining thier just rights have failed. They ahave historically lived in the north and east of Sr iLanka for thousand s of years continuously and have ruled them selves and according to the UN Charter have th eright to self determine theoir future and escape from a genocidal racist majority. Mnay western governmentshave stated that the Sri Lankan Tamils have the right for self determination. they may not like th LTTE .

Oh no! India has similar policies, but based on caste and not religion. The policies do result in a situation where some people getting much much much lower marks can walk into esteemed educational institutes, while merit suffers. What is worse, sometimes they do not reach the much much much lower cut-off and their reserved seat remains vacant. This is especially true of our beloved motherland Tamizhnadu.

Yes Czar in India this reservation was mainly done ( although now misused) to upliftthe down trodden dalits tribals and backward castes who had a raw deal fromn teh upper an dmiddle castes for the past thousand years. In Sri Lanka it is not done to uplift any backward poor or opressed people. Here it is done on a purely evil racial motive just to deprive it Tamil population education. employmet etc. All Sinhalas benefir by it whether thay are rich or poor. low or high caste Buddhist or Christian come form forward or backward area. and all Tamils are also vasty affected by this wheterh they are indegenous or of Indian origin. Hindu or Christian. Brahmin or Dalit.,rich or poor. SO in Idnia these reservations were brough in with a good intention to uplift teh oppressed and backward but in Sri Lanka this was brought in with a purely evil intention to oppress and deny the Tamils proper education and employment, so that the Tamil population will permanently become illeterate, unable to fight for thoer rights and therfore become permanently subservient to the Sinhalas. They are trying to make the Tamils the new Dalits in Sri Lanka

Rights groups condemn "Collective Punishment"
Center for Policy Alternatives (CPA), a Colombo-based think-tank, and the Free Media Movement (FMM), a media watch group in Colombo, are considering taking legal action against Sri Lanka authorities for the mass arrest of more than 2000 Tamils in suburbs of Colombo this week, media reports in Colombo said. The arrests were made after the Government of Sri Lanka accused the Liberation Tigers of carrying out the two bomb attacks that killed 21 people and injured more than 40 in Colombo.
"The CPA will seek court intervention on behalf of the people who were subjected to cruel and degrading treatment," AFP reported quoting a CPA spokesman.
The Free Media Movement earlier said Tamil civilians with all necessary identification and documentation were still in detention. "The manner in which the arrests are being conducted and that they target a specific ethnic community are extremely worrying," the FMM said in a statement.
The expulsion was internationally condemned as collective punishment of Tamils for the work of Tamil Tiger rebels, AFP said in its report.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International in a press release issued Wednesday, said: "Amnesty International condemns the mass arrests of more than 1000 Tamils by the Sri Lankan police, allegedly in response to the suicide bombings carried out in Colombo on 28 November 2007, for which the government has blamed the Liberation
