LTTe was bornbecisue of decades of Sinhal state sponsored discrimanation of Sri Lankan Tamils . thier lands were forcibly colinised thier language was not givenrecognition even in the Tamil Majority districts of Jaffna Vavunia Killnochhi Mannar Mullaitivu Trincomalle Batticaloa Amparai ( ethnic Sri lankan Tamils and Tamil Muslim) and in the Cetral Highlands where the Tamils of Indian Origin reside . Colombo is aorund 40$ Tamil speaking how many government officers . Police offers are proficient in Tamil. Tami people are dicriminated in the field of education where they have to score higher marks than a Sinhalese person to enter university. 99% if the Police and Army are Sinhalese and its is a written law that only Buddhism is the state religion and only a Sinhal Buddhist can be a head the stae Armed forces and or even a dpeartmental head. The history of Hiduism is far older than Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Ancient Hinu temples of Konneswaran ( of Ramayan fame ) in Trincomalle and Thiruketheeswaram in Mananr and Kthirgammam ( now called Sinhal Kataragama) . Ther was not Ltte when ther were state sponsered massacres of Tamisl in 1958 1977 1983. My house in Colombo ws burnt by Sinhal thhugs and it was supervised by a senior govt minister when somne of my so called Singhala neighbours cheering on. Form 1947 to 1983 all so called peacfull means to get legitimat Tamil rights failed and it was answered by state sponsered brutality. Fighting your legitimate right is not terrorism.
