FYI - to my brothers
by Rajendran on Nov 02, 2007 10:45 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dear brothers (esp. Aditya) I want to clarify certain things. Some facts FYI.
1.      The problem in Srilanka is due to Sinhalese nationalism where they don%u2019t want any religion other than Buddhism and any language other than Sinhalese.
2.      In early 1980s Tamils were mass murdered, raped and tortured. It was genocide to be reckoned with just like genocides happened in Germany, Turkey and Rwanda once.
3.      SL govt occupied Tamil regions through force as it happened in Israel once.
4.      There was/is an racial apartheid against Tamils in the universities and govt. offices.
5.      To resolve this issue Tamils ask for Eelam to so that they can live in peace as they did 1000s of years with Tamils Kingdoms in northern Srilanka.
6.      Most of the Sinhalese are not bad though and so are most of the Tamils.
7.      It%u2019s a struggle between Sinhalese nationalistic government and a hard line Tamil separatist turned terrorist who doesn%u2019t terrorize Sinhalese commoners.
8.      LTTE transformed from an irregular student%u2019s movement to a highly organized military group in 80s.
9.      LTTE doesn%u2019t terrorize Sinhalese common people even though Tamils in SL themselves are affected by their policies lately. LTTE%u2019s intension is just to hit SLA and Police (almost no Tamils) and destabilize SL Govt which almost doesn%u2019t have Tamil officials.
10.      The killing is mostly done by SLA on Tamil masses, and between SLA and LTTE. LTTE lost its support in Tamil Nadu greatly after the killing of Ra

Sri Lanka should be united. We all should live together. Who ever against it should be kicked out of the country..

Only the British can keep Sri Lanka united because they created it. Split the country. You can't bomb them for 21 years and then keep saying Tamils are part of SL.

Tamils cant say that they did not try to live together, but with sinhalese arrogance and jealousy, them steps just could not be sustained.

Rajendrans poins give clear picture what is happening in Srilanka.In the name of single nation entire tamil race is suffering. Many lost their families. These wicked srilankan army has bombed schools and killed many innocent children.Rajepakshe is a crocodile having talks with our govt and at the same time
asking the army to kill tamils. Even after 15 years we still talk about Rajiv killing .You want entire race to be eliminated for the sake of Rajiv. Our govt with out knowing the consequences is blindly supplying weapons and radars . These weapons will be used by srilankan army to kill our own brothers. Will you justify this.
