The Tamils in Sri Lanka have a just cause to fight. They are fighting agains a racist and genocidal governments which are only intent on physically and culturally annihilating them as a people in Sri Lanka. They native Tamils have lived in this land for thousands of years and have the same right if not more than the Sinhalas to Sri Lanka as most of the present day Sinhalas have are only descended from recent South Indian migrants ( Tamils). theu are only asking for thoer language education employment and protection of thoer lands from planned Sinhal encroachment ( individual Sinhlalese like individual Tamils have every right to live anywhere in the country. But not stats sponsored colonisation schmens to make the Tamils a minority in their lands) and protection and respect to their religion Hinduism, this is not much ot ask. they are not coveting Sinhlala land disrespecting Buddhism etc . It is the SInhlas who are doing that. The Tamils hav eevery right to use any means to challenge it even according to UN Charter and that is not terrrism. It may be Terrrism to you India and the USa as thjis does not suit your strategic interest, This was not terrrism to yo u or India when the Bebgali insurgentfought or in Bosnia or in Kosovo, why because it suited your interests. The same with the pedominantly Muslim Palesteneian people they have every right to fignt against the historic injustice perperatd upon them thats is no terrorism or the Kurdish people. They are fighting injustice
