First responsibility of any tamil is to support/help srilankan tamils getting their freedom,self respect back from singala chavanists. Any true dravidian will agree only LTTE is in a strong postion at this moment to acheive that (without doubt)
from my experience i have seen people with aryan roots see srilankan struggle as a different way and always try to air different ideas and confuse the audiance. Iam afraid you always go wrong if you see see eelam tamil issue with a help of Aryan prism. .
I like to see a strong, prosporous India & tamil eelam together. Though iam an indian, I dont support Indian claims that we are innocent in eelam. We paid Rajiv for what indian army have done in tamil eelam. History going to say the violent act is done by a tamil. Being a tamil i do take responsibiluty sharing the blame. However we need to understand tamils wounds are much bigger than indian wounds
PAKISTAN separation in 1947 still creating itches with aryan people/politicians minds and with India/Pakistan relations. fight with pakistan is a north indian created problem, Did we tamils ever not supported our fellow country men ? we are in the

Not supporting Ravi`s message fully but for sure not opposing it. I also wish to re iterate the fact that LTTE and Tamils in Lanka deserved much better respect than what they got from the Indian Army( Is should say this is very much an understatement of what Indian Army did to Tamils there) I do not expect India to give a support for LTTE in SriLanka. I support their stance of taking to a federal Resolution between the rebels and the Lankan Govt. Lankan Govt will have to pay in blood if they postpone things... Wish India and Pakistan were brothers hand in Hand !! May the Peace be restored in this subcontinent.. Valka Vazhamudan!!! deardeepan

Ravi is resorting to the classic race-baiting of Dravidian chauvinists - "Dravida Uber Alles".
I've read that Tamil population in the North has significantly eroded over the past couple of decades. How strong is the demographic claim for Eelam now? They'll be forced to settle for creating Eelam in Canada, at this rate. Falling back on suicide bombers and child soldiers is a sign of desperation and not of a strong position from which to credibly negotiate. These types of tactics glaringly advertise LTTE's desperation and weakness.
I don't agree with Raman's views on this. LTTE has already played all its cards, and is fighting just to hang on. Rajapakse can crush them, especially given that Prabakharan's personality cult has grown faded over time. Karuna is only the beginning of the crumbling of the Losing Tactics of Terrorist Eelam.
