Tamils of North and east wanted a separate state for last 50 years but the Sinhala politicians will not agree to it. As a high level govt IAS officer I had personal experience about this. The real educated Singhalese wants peace and wants to give the Tamils a separate state but the politicians wants to stay in power like George Bush saying USA will be alert all the time and he is the only person can do a good job. Politicians are politicians wherever you go. That goes for the Sri lankan Tamil politicians too. Sanjay: Tamil want a federal Sri Lanka and a state for them. Most of the Tamils said to me that they would like to join India as a state than under the singhala unitary system. If they cannot give a separate state then divide Sri Lanka. Its good for the Balkans, Kosvo, Macedonia, Bosnia etc. Why not in Sri Lanka. May god help all the people of Sri Lanka. That is what Buda will want. That is not the uneducated thugs who wear orange cloths and call them selves Buddhist monks. Please be kind to all people even to the Tigers. That is the real Indian way.
