The tamils have suffered a lot of discrimination. There is no future and LTTE was an act of desperation. There should be basic decency and rights for all whether Prabhakaran survives or not. It is difficult for India to play much of role as we have gained a lot of ill will over the years.
Sri Lanka had everything going for them, but they have to get real to have some future. Without Murali where will they be? Sri Lankan tamils have acquited themselves very well abroad and are talented. The Sinhalese are much behind them in work culture and have enjoyed some free rides. Time they realise which side of the bread is butter. Please give equal rights to all. All will benefit.

A long time back I read a news in INDIA TODAY magazine that Rajiv called Prabhakaran to Delhi for talks. And put him in the compultion to obey his terms otherwise face consequences. At that time Prabhakaran played tactics to get away from Delhi. Latter Rajiv Gandhi remarked all Tamils are traitors. And sent PKF to Sri Lanka on pretext of helping Tamils but acted against them. So got the results.

Actually it was worse .. Prabakaran was totally helpless locked up in Delhi and wanted to call it a day .. This was when some "advisors (foreigners and Dravidian Politicians") came in and promised support for him to continue ..
He wasnt sure .. then India (IPKF) allowed the 12 LTTE guys incl. 2 commanders to die at the hands of the SL Army after the Pact and another LTTE cadre fast himself to death. After that there was no going back .. LTTE had to fight ..
What Rajiv and his advisors did was unforgivable .. locking up a trusting guy and making him feel helpless.
Just think, if a guy who agrees to mediate suddenly locks you up in a room and forces you to agree to something.
Whatever .. its a sad tale. But acts of terror have no justification.

I am not favourating Prabhakaran. I am asking justice everywhere for Tamils.If Prabhakaran live or die it doesn't matter. I want justice for Tamils in every field. See otherside angles too. I am a true Indian unlike you pseudo Indian.

The killing of Rajiv by LTTE cannot be condoned. Let us not hold all the tamils accountable for that, just like for Indira killing. I am of opinion one should always find ways to adjust to your country system. My interaction with some Sri Lankan tamils made me aware of the pain they have undergone and the utter hopelessness of their life in Sri Lanka. I will never compare that to the lives of tamilians in Malaysia, who I know are much better off than even our own, despite the obvious discrimination.
Anyway, India should just stay out of the matter as we have ill will with both the groups.

Indian,
Thanks. My inputs are are always according to logic and never emotional. Never will I abuse anybody, even by thoughts. I attain close to Sat Chit Anand by that attitude! I try to add as much facts as I have to share with people. You multiply your knowledge and perspective by that. I never abuse anybody by religion as all are basically good. I have experienced that in my life.
