Shipping is LTTE's Tool
by san man on Oct 07, 2007 05:42 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

This is why DMK want to destroy the Bridge of Rama to create a shipping lane. It's for their friend LTTE to hide supply consignments inside of. With a commercial shipping lane in place, the LTTE will be able to hide themselves and their shipments amongst the other traffic. DMK hopes to help its friend win the war this way. They are a devious bunch, and there's no underhanded tactic they won't stoop to.

and you would love all Tamils in Sri Lanka destroyed by the racist genocidal goverment. Even thier allies LIek USa now are warning the Sri Lankan government about human rights abuses. Leave the LTTe out of the picture it is a know fact that all Sri Lankan governments form independence have been racist and have discriminated its Tamil population. Thier racist genoocidal policies have ruined a country which was far more advanced thath Malaysia nd Singapore in the 50's and early 60's.Th efirat started by making the Estate Tamils ( Tmaisl of Indian Origin who have been living in Sri lanka for around 100years at teh time of independence) stateless. Then they turned their guns on the indegenous Eelam Tamils originating form the North and East and parts of the west coast. They were discriminated in language employment education ( standardisation was brought in in the 70's where for eg of a Tamil student scores 70 his or her marks are reduced to 50 and if a Sinhala student scores 50 its increased to 70) The the large scale colonisation and ethnic cleansing of historic Tamisl districts began to make the EElam Tamisl a minority in thier own land . this resulted in th edemography isn the east to change. Th e Sinhal population was less than 1$ in th e50's is now 30% and increasing. All peaceful Tamil protests were met with brutal vilolence and pogroms. If the Intenational coominit does nto want LTTE Save the Tamils then they should the Tamils have a right to dmeand that.

but they are not they have labeeled the LTTE terrrosts but have rrefused to do anything to the Hapless Tamisl plight and then even do not condemn the state sponsored genocide and terrorism . What a bunch of hypocrits the same iternation community called the incidents happening in Kosovo as genoicide and the Albanians fighting the Serbian govt as Liberation Army. Why is it because they are White Europeans( even if they are Muslims) If the same thing happens in Palestine in Africa or in Sri Lanka where it is against America's strategic interest they are lablled terrorists. The Kurds in Iraq were terrorsts when Sadam was America's pet and even Osama was their pet at one time. Now when it suits America the Kurds are freedom fighters andOSam is a terrorst. The EElam Tamils have more historic right to Sri Lanka than the SInhalese or the Albaninas to Kosovo or the Qubec French to Qubec. Sri Lanka ws historically part of ancient Tamilakam whic consited of Kerala. Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Except for a small amount of Aryan blood . most of the present day Sinhalas are of Tamil origin . In fact around 50% of the present day SInhalas ancestors only migrated form South Tamil Nadu and Kerala around 600 to 100 years ago, Whereas the last infusion of South Indian Tamil blood in to the native Eelam Tamils was around the 11th century. The curren t crisis in Sri Lanka is the fault of the British. they gave to Tamil population to the Sinhal majority without protection on a platter

Yes sure LTTE must be destroyed if they donot accept a democratic country Srilanka's rule. Same thing we expect for Kashmiris, Nagas, Naxals, Akalis, ULFA, Al-Qaidas. Terrorism must be destroyed and LTTE is ememy of India and supporters like you are also u must be found out and destroyed... Think of India and not Tamilians of Indian origin, LTTE is not a friend of India. The cause of their state in Srilanka is their resorting to voilence instead of becoming a part and parcel of Srilanka and contribute to its economy. LTTE is solely responsible for economic brakes on Srilankan economy which was doing better then Indian. U even have person of Indian origin in Fiji, America, Phillipines, Russia, Malaysia, Burma, Saudi Arabia, Bali so do you think every place Indians should fight for a seperate state like muslims. Justthink constructive join hands and become a part of your country

The Eelam Tamils are not of Indian origin bt are native to Sri Lanka on fact most of the present day Sinhalas are of recent South Indian origin . Th eancestoer of the present day anti Tamil Bandarnaike clan is a Neela Perumal woh migrated form Tamil Nadu in the 17th century. and the ancestor the Jayawardene/ Ranil Wickremesinghe and Mahinda Rajapakses wife is a Thambi Mudalai from Tamil Nadu who again migrated around the same time . MOst Sinhal aristocrats are of south Indian dTamil orgin as the Sinhal akings always married Pndyan princess . In fact they al l spoke Tamil until the 19th century. The last independent Tamil kingdoms to fall were not in India but in Sri Lanka . The Jaffna kingdom around 1620 and the Vanni(curent LTTE stronhold) only fell to the British aroudn 1820 . it was then the whoole island was made in to one country by the British. The Portuegues and the Duthch ruled the Tamil and Sinhal speaking districts that they captured as two seoerate colonies. They recognised these people were made of two distinct nations and ethnice groups. YO are not a Tamil Eelam Tamil different from South Indina Tamil. It has many Cankam Tamil words. WOrds common to present day Malayalm but gone out of usage in Tamil Nadu and it is far less Sankritsed. The British should have left a Federal country when they left but failed to do so. A nation which discriminates on the basis of race/ religion and uses genocide is not democratic. Read your history before commenting

Stop this BS about Tamils. Do Tamils allow Hindi in Tamil Nadu? Why should these ungrateful people even expect the Sinhalas to tolerate them when Tamils are bigots.

You must be another armchair philospher. Till you live one's life do not make immature comments. Also you comments about muslims is unwarranted. Indians are very brave when it comes armchair philosophy.
