Your main headline shows about LTTE ... one whole page u have dedicated to benazir... there is no news about india... xcept dhumal takes oath as CM in haryana...
Havent we all heard these claims before as well?? When ever people of indian origin are troubled in distant Fiji, India interferes...When people of indian origin are troubled in maldives, india interferes...When people of indian origin like Kalpana Chawla, Sunita williams go to space, we shamelessly support and brag about it..Are these people any more POI than the troubled ethnic tamils of srilanka..So isnt there an inherent bias by india towards POI in the world..We want to enjoy the good things but not raise our voice when injustice and discrimination is meted out to POI...hypocrites!!

India tried to interfere in 1980s. Consequences have been disastrous. This time it is better to mind our own business.

YES Keep quite. Sinhalese Government will destroy LTTE and totally suppress Tamils. Next step will be Pakistan being invited to have a base in Sri Lanka as they have armed Sinhalese Army. Chinese will be there as well. It wont be long before Pakistan and China have bases in Bangladesh. Encirclement of India will be complete.

They are not Indians...LTTE and Karunanidhi brands are anti-national, anti-Hindi and enemies of India...INDIA should not help them...rather they should help Sri Lanka to eliminate LTTE. How can you expect help after killing Rajeev Gandhi and with your anti-India rhetorics. Send all LTTE to hell

Well said Simhachalam!! The only difference being shifting Pakistani politicians to India or our border!!
It should be quite obvious that Sri Lanka is encouraged, that India will keep quiet about any operation against Prabhakaran. Karunanidhi's silence is understandable too. He has tough choices to make and that's when true colours emerge. I am dying with suspense to see if the rumour that he is a migrant to Tamil Nadu is true ;)
Will any Congress leader dare issue a statement against the genocide of Tamils in Lanka? Congress 2.0 = the congregration of feudals & opportunists.
Not that I sympathize with Prabhakaran or Modi or Tytler of the world. These gentlemen have booked their seats at a common place :)

Tamil Nadu was Ruled by Dravidan Parties and all Dravidan Parties Support LTTE so Lakshmi , ur comment may be opt for some north Indian States not for tamil nadu. Recently Tamilnadu CM, Mr Karunanidhi has given his Condolences for the Death of Tamil Selvan. I agree with u in one thing "Terrorists have no frnds" but they r not terrorists they r freedom fighters and "Terrorist have no frnds" .. " We r their Relatives"

One thing you people are forgetting, we are suffering because of terrorism, .Why India should help LTTE which is out and out facist organisation. They have killed our country's Prime Minister. One more thing, the LTTE has killed more Tamils than the Srilankan Army, Then what is the case of Sinhalese genocide there? The LTTE has many unarmed moderate political leaders of Tamil origin. Amirthalingam was the moderate leader, but LTTE has killed him cowardly. The LTTE has killed all potential leaders of Tamils. All those opposed to Prabhakarn's violent ways are systematically wiped out by LTTE. You are killing your own brothers and crying foul at Sinhalese genocide. What an Irony/. The day LTTE is wiped out it is good for India and Srilanka.

Boss there is a hell lot of problems in India but you are worrying about Sri Lankan or Malaysians??
Indian government need to make sure Indian Tamils in Srilanka are protected from Sinhalese hegemony. LTTE gone, Sinhalese will suppress the Indian Tamil community there, so appropriate steps need to be taken by getting assurances from srilankan government.
LTTE may be a fascist organization right now. But it was because of LTTE and other similar groups that the Tamils there enjoy what rights they do today. Before that TAMIL WAS NOT EVEN A NATIONAL LANGUAGE IN SRI LANKA, though it was spoken by one third of the population. Consider the situation here where Sindhi is recognized though the percentage of Sindhi speakers in the total population is low. That is because ours is an inclusive society unlike Srilanka.

the problemis, my friend, inclusion in India is opportunistic and of like-minded and not a romantic, democratic rainbow that you see fantasize about.
I agree, we have a better chance, but only if get our folks to read and write a few alphabets...English/Tamil or even Sinhalese!
This is what exactly to be done by Indian Government as well with out allowing itself to be bullied over by the caste,religion,region, political parties, minorities etc etc. "Be a Roman when you are in Rome" is the dictum that tamilians should practice when they are in Sri Lanka. It is not a very distant past when people of Andhra Pradesh were discriminated as second rate citizens by Tamilians in a composite Madras State. So, National integration is supreme over all other considerations in a small country like Sri Lanka. One should love the land where you live. Former Prime Minister Morarji Desai clearly stated that India has no business to interfere with the goverance of Sri Lanka when his attention was drawn to the so called discrimination of Tamilians settled in Sri Lanka.

If you refer Telugu Speaking people were subjected to discrimination, you should also refer the same yardstick to Telengana people, who are making same complaint to other Sect of Andhra.

Be a Roman when u r in Rome , before commenting u should know the history of srilanka, Tamils were there as long as Srilanka is there , heard of Ravanan yep he's a tamil king thts the reason why Tamilnadu CM was against Ramar. There are two types of tamils in Srilanka Indian Tamil(who live in Kandy and Colombo)and Eela Tamils or Ethnic Tamils. The Indian Tamils Follow ur Words "Be a Roman in Rome" but the Ethnic tamils cant follow tht.

If we had to listen to Morarji, then we would not have nuclear weapons or Sukhoi planes or anything.
As for the discrimination of people of AP, even now around 12 - 15% of the people in TN are Telugu speakers and none of them have complained of discrimination.

All Tamil Leaders have Telugu as their Mother tongue want to verify it google it
If Sri lanka wants to really solve it's problem they should shift majority of Tamil minority to a secluded place with in the island away from any part of sea coast of nation spread literacy by mandatory education( Communist China)style, In Mid 20's Stalin did this with chechens in russia,local autonomy with restriction on religious freedom(Islamic).Here with Tamils it is not that issue. Cut off from supporting state of Tamilnadu is essential & weapon smmuglers is a must.

Mr Bhide, as a Maharashtrian, you dont know much of Tamil politics. LTTE is supported by only a few Dravidian organisations but not ADMK of Jayalalitha and not Congress either. The ruling DMK cannot openly support but the cowards as they are, they are indirectly assisting them. Fortunately, the Tamils who support the LTTE are nastic, anti Hindu dogs and so we need not lose sleep over the destruction of LTTE though many of them are Hindus.

Do you mean to say that anyone who is supported by the Dravidian parties should be condemned?
Are all the Tamils in Sri Lanka to be condemned because they are being supported by the Dravidian parties?

Tamils are anti-Hindu dogs?? Learn your history. Tamils ARE Hindus who have been in Sri Lanka for thousands of years.

Read the msg properly Kajal. He meant 'anti Hindu Tamil dogs' about the Tamils of Tamil Nadu who support them such as the DK, VCK etc and not about the SriLankan Tamils.

Cant do tht brother we Tamils frm Tamilnadu will support them till they get their independence and if u want to cut off from the supporting state i promise u " the supporting stae will be cut off frm India" Its not a joke. I am proud to say i am an Indian till now but comments frm people like u make me to think the other way.

Hi Folks, Indian Government doesn't like Tamil people suffering in Sri-lanka,However Indian Government cannot poke into internal problem of sri-lanka.Because that will send a wrong signal to the entire world.And SOME THIRD COUNTRY will involve in solving the Kashmir disputes with pakistan...
