Dear brothers (esp. Aditya) I want to clarify certain things. Some facts FYI. 1. The problem in Srilanka is due to Sinhalese nationalism where they don%u2019t want any religion other than Buddhism and any language other than Sinhalese. 2. In early 1980s Tamils were mass murdered, raped and tortured. It was genocide to be reckoned with just like genocides happened in Germany, Turkey and Rwanda once. 3. SL govt occupied Tamil regions through force as it happened in Israel once. 4. There was/is an racial apartheid against Tamils in the universities and govt. offices. 5.

It%u2019s a struggle between Sinhalese nationalistic government and a hard line Tamil separatist turned terrorist who doesn%u2019t terrorize Sinhalese commoners. 8. LTTE transformed from an irregular student%u2019s movement to a highly organized military group in 80s. 9. LTTE doesn%u2019t terrorize Sinhalese common people even though Tamils in SL themselves are affected by their policies lately. LTTE%u2019s intension is just to hit SLA and Police (almost no Tamils) and destabilize SL Govt which almost doesn%u2019t have Tamil officials. 10. The killing is mostly done by SLA on Tamil masses, and between SLA and LTTE. LTTE lost its support in Tamil Nadu greatly after the killing of Ra
