For a person with a so called Arab Muslim name you seem to be having a wonderful knowledge of the Jaffna or Eelam Tamils and they inner thoughts. So what are your thoughts on the large scale ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Eelam Tamils. The ariel bombing shelling and destruction of Tamil towns and villages in the North and East. The destruction of Hindu temples and Churches. What about the daily bombings of Tamil homes hospitals schools and orphanges. The deliberate policy of terrorising and emptying Tamils from Tamil lands so that thses can be occupied by Sinhala colonists. Usually ex Army men criminals and thugs.Tell me Ashrawi, who has the same name as the Palestenian freedom fighter Hanan Ashrawi. What about the systematic marginalisation of Tamils since independence. by denying them higer education opportunities, and employment. and the use of the Tamil language is that fine by you too. Since you scorn them and think that they are nasty people. So you are n Indian so how are so familiar withthe Jaffna Tamils thier culture way of life if you have been living in India. ANd how is it that you hate them and pour scorn on them so much without any pity on thoer terrible plight. A person cannot pour such hate on a another without knowing them and i strongly suspect that you are a Sinhala or a Srilankan Tamil Muslim. Yes the Eelam Tamils are bridge between the people of Tamil Nadu and modern Kerala. No one denys this fact. Ramember that Kerala TamilNadu and Sri lanka
