Dear Mr Rajapakshe..By: sadaadmi | Saturday , 18 Jul '09 15:55:50 PM Reply | Forward it is hard to digest that 1400 persons die every wk.Mr President can engage People like Dr Kalam,Sri Sri ,Sai baba to help the Tamils as well singalease.This will boost the image of SL.I hope these personalities are above ethnic issues and can be trusted by Sri Lanka.

saden by IndiaBy: Basu | Monday , 13 Jul '09 10:54:47 AM Reply | Forward For years and years SL Tamil felt India would always give it's support to have respectfull solution in SL Tamil issues. Aren't we stabbed in the back - dont want to say no more.

India's position difficultBy: indian | Sunday , 12 Jul '09 5:18:55 AM Reply | Forward Plz say what India should do in this matter? If it interferes it looses with Sri Lanka forever and China gains as this being it's internal matter. If it doesn't it faces the wrath of it's own people. What should be India's stand on this? Does anyone have any idea how difficult it is for india to handle this?

Ethnic cleansingBy: Srini | Friday , 10 Jul '09 16:46:29 PM Reply | Forward The genocide is over and the ethnic cleansing has started in Sri Lanka. Karunanidhi and Sonia Gandhi are power crazy people who put family before nation. There is absolutely no justification for the way the Indian government has treated the Tamils over the killing of Rajiv Gandhi. It is high time the people of India have their say by kicking these charlatans out of office and preferably out of the country. Sri Lanka is now courting Pakistan and China and this weak Indian government is letting this blossom.

tamils dyingBy: mouli | Friday , 10 Jul '09 16:08:14 PM Reply | Forward It was hitlers death camps that finally jolted the jews out of their indifference and created the state of israel. Tamils round the world should realise that there are three types of people tamils, enemies and neutrals. What we are seeing is a genocide with enemies gloating and neutrals looking the other way. Why is the DMK the champion of tamil cause or so they keep claiming silent.Is minestrial post that important? They should pull out of the govt without second thoughts if they have the guts.

India must be merciful and helpBy: Baba Ramdev | Friday , 10 Jul '09 15:07:38 PM Reply | Forward We Indians have blood on our hands. Being indifferent to Tamil deaths and this Sinhala sponsored genocide is a sin that destiny will punish us for. Where is the moral and cultural (Hindu philosophy of good against evil) India, or is it only Italian Mafiosi style morality, that we India ?

1400 Tamils dying every day in SriLankan campsBy: Premangsu Chowdry | Friday , 10 Jul '09 14:40:20 PM Reply | Forward Even if a small fracton of this reported number of 1400 deaths per day is correct, the sitauation for these Tamils of Indian origin must be horrendous. Coming in the wake of very large number of Tamil Tigershaving been killed and wounded, this alleged report will shake up our Tamils; May the apathy of the country towards the Hindus being persecuted and killed in hundreds in erstwhile East Pakistan soon after the Partition, not be repeated.Though this is technically an internal matter of Sri Lanka,there seems to be no visible signs of dealing with the situation as elicited very widely in some parts of the world for the Darfur problem in Sudan.

You Know where the Sinhalese are from???By: Muralidharan | Friday , 10 Jul '09 14:12:09 PM Reply | Forward Do you know from where the Sinhalese are they are from Orrisa in India Buddism is a way of living it is not a religion????Buddism preaches non voilence and care towards humans and all living things they dont at any time say to kill people and that too your own people?? What is happening in Sri Lanka is killing of people in the guise of war and now in the name of eradicating terrorism . Innocents are being tortured and killed and the international community including India are silent spectators>>>>
