My perspectivev is that Ghandian method was tried in SL but one cannot go practise that against a govt that does genocide. Britain did not do genocide against Indians. If SL had treated tamils fairly, this would not have happened. Also, they still refuse to treat tamils fairly. why is there no federal setup, why is buddism the official religion of SL, Why do sinhalas get more than their proportion of jobs, etc, etc. Until, the Sinhalease accept the tamilians as owners of the island, this was will go on. and I hope the Tamils wipe out the Sinhalease for this attitiude.
