RE:Openion

It is just the other way around. Thanks to Jaffna Tamils taking to British education, they were much better qualified than the Sinhalese who got jealous of the educated and competent Tamils and began discriminating against them to the point of attempting genocide against them. Not only that if you think the Sinhalese are friends of India, then you are sorely mistaken, because the Sinhala elite have nothing but contempt for India and dream of Balkanising India. In this regard, they are more like the Bangladeshi elite which also thinks along similar lines. For your information, there is no reservation in Sri Lanka. In fact, it is the other way around, the Sinhalese enjoy reservation even for bank loans. It is because the Sinhalese were planning to give Trincomalee
to the Americans for a naval base, that Indira Gandhi set up guerrilla training camps for the Lankan Tamils. Kindly get your facts rights sir.
