protction for th eminority Tamils. they did not bother or they wanted these states to fail. therfore the Gencidal Sinhalas have since indepedence have use thier majority to deny the Tamils thier just rights. Each succesive Sinhala governmet had become worse. TO the Sinhalas the handing over of the EElam Tamils to them on a platter by th BRitish was a dream come true. They ahd always hated them and eyed these ancient Tamil lands but were unabel to anything for the past 2500 years. If the current situaltion oif the Tamil is not a disaster then wht else is. So you want them to be killed ethnically cleansed denied the use of their language culture etc. iN a united Sri lanka . Who tore the 1987 Indo Sri lankan agreement not Pirabaharan but the Sri Lankan goverment in 2006. The Portuguese and the Duthch colonial powers realised that uniting the Sinhalas and Tamils iunder their control , would have been a disater, as they were awaree of the ancient enemity between these two people. The Bristish were not aware of it or did not care or did this deliverately to rule the country. If two people cannot get toghether and the country is in ruins it is a disaster and it is better to seperate. You talk of India and Pakistan. BUthave you ever thought that if there was still a large and restive minority Muslim population ( around 30%) in undivided India, on its western eastern northern and throughout India, not loyal to India , what the consequenses woul dhave been for modern India.
