why aint theres no voice n support from Indians n its media for Tamils in SL towards the same cause for Tibatans in China. whenever there is a human rights violation against civilian Tamils in SL and also so many Indian Tamil fishermen have been shot dead by SL its only the Tamil Nadu regional politicians who are against it, which will only have the local media coverage. rest of India does not even care about it or they might support SL. but considering the current scenario with the major coverage and support from the right wing national politicians and from the general public for the tibetans issue as a tamilian living in tamil nadu i feel there is a major partiality meted out to the tamil's sentiments in India by its national media, by the rest of India including any national, right n left wing political party. which makes me think is the reason for regional political party's to stay in power always in TN, which also makes sense.

I think this is because the LTTE killed one of the Indian Prime minister, an heinous act done by none else.

You are comparing apples and oranges.
Plus assasins/murderers within a dominion are handled by the laws of the land. What about foreign mercenaries? Will the mastermind of the Indian PM stand trial in India?
Remember that Elam struggle would not have been possible if not for India's support. The LTTE were trained and armed by India. Killing its PM will not be appreciated by its citizens, no matter which side of the aisle they belong. Only rabid anti-nationals and linguistic chauvinists will argue otherwise.
