Who is attacking who is Sri Lanka? Is it the Tamils attacking the Sighalese? Or is it the Tamils fdefending themselves against Sighalese attacks? I donot believe Sighalas as a nation are good people. I need more convincing.

Sinhalese have systematically wiped out one lakh tamils.
Tamils the owners of the lands were forced to live under sinhalese terror now.
Tamils were the peaceful people who inhabited that island. Just because of the terror initiated by sinhalese, tamils has to take arms and defend their peoples and land.
To secure tamils lives of that island from terrorist Sinhalese, the island has to divided into two .One for Tamils and the other for Sinhalese.

Yes they may be good but when it comes to granting just Tamil right they blinded by hatred. The worst are these Sinhala comminities and castes which have a very recent Tamil origin. Even the so called born agains Sinhala Christians are not very born again nor show any of the ZChristian compassion to any Tamils even to the CHristian Tamils. They are also hand in glove with their Buddhist bretheren. COme to Sri lanka and live a Tamil then you wil understand thoer kindness. Looking at people walking around and behaving ina normal manner does reveal the tension and hatred that simmers underneath. Even in South Africa during the struggle against apartheid Balcks and Whites lived toghether and owrked toghether but there was tension and suspicioan and hatred underneath. Some Tamils and Sinhalese have intermarreid even I have Sinhala relatives and many Tamils have become Sinhalised due to fear and just to escape the persecution and live in peace. The Tamil communities that get Sinhalised fast are the most recent arrivals from South India andin turn become the most anti Tamil. The ones who get teh least Sinhalised are the ones who have been living for thousands of years the ones who originate from the NoRth and the East. Th eones who lived in the NORth West and teh western littoral migratd from South India around 800 to 100 years ago and got Sinhalised as soon some pressure is applied to them. Only the Estate Tamils brough in by the British 150 years ago did not get Sinhalised as

hey came in huge numbers and lived toghether in isolation. They are so poor and backward, that even the Kandyan Sinhala peasants dont want to do much with them. However now they have become entrenched in Central Si lanka and in one district Nuwara eliaya they are the majority around 80%. They are now also well organised and in unions so it very diffficult to Sinhalise them as they are now very well entrenched in their culture. In short there are more Tamils who have become Sinhala in SriLanka throught its 2500 year history than have remained. Th eones who have reamained Tamil are the ones decided to remain Tamil at what ever cost.
