SL Tamils plightBy: S Mylava | Monday , 27 Oct '08 3:55:27 AM Reply | Forward I am from Ireland, Ireland achieved independence from UK in this modern world and the people are living happily and enjoying their independence here. Uk divide Malaya and declared independence to Singapore and Malaya; India was divided into Pakistan and India by the UK; India Divide Bangaladesh from Pakistan; Australia helped East Timor to gain independence from Indonesia. All these newly formed countries are enjoying thier independence without conflict as a souverign state. India must help this ancient civilised Tamil race from its suffering, in the hand of this raciest, oppressive, uncivilised and undemocratic Singalese governments. Indian External minister and the Foreign secretery must understand the real sufferings these Tamils face in that country. If the LTTE get defeted, that is the end of this Tamil race in Sri-Lanka, as the history shows the animocity of Singhalese kings towards Tamils from primodial period ownward.

Terrorists baitors are traitorsBy: D. Arunachalam | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 17:41:19 PM Reply | Forward Lies shouted repeatedly do not become truths. SL government has killed Tamils deliberately is one such falsehood. The LTTE have killed more Tamils, than the SL government forces during the latter's legitimate operations. Directly, LTTE has killed all the Tamil leaders, including their own brethren in other outfits as they would not tolerate any body to be there except themselves. Indirectly, they have used hapless civilians as human shields and made them face the gunfire when they are attacked. They are the mericless ones condemned by the whole world for forcing children to fight for them. Now, the government is fighting the terrorist group, branded the most dreaded in the world, the LTTE and not the Tamil people there. Above this is the Terrorist organistion that killed our Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in our soil and those who side with LTTE are traitors of this country.

Humanitarian psotition of SL TamilsBy: Canaga | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 13:24:51 PM Reply | Forward Does India realise that the SL Goernments are the worst Terroist?The Tamils hav been clubbed to death for so many yeras from 1956 - how long can the Tamils live in this state. How many were killed form 1956 onwards, including 1983. Since no politics was possible with such a draconian racist, the 'boys' formed their group. What else can the Tamils do - you tell me, when all negotiatios have failed year after year.

SL is correctBy: REDDYBHAI | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 5:45:35 AM Reply | Forward What right India has to poke its nose in other sovereign country? The communal govt. sitting in Delhi, could not save Kashmir Pandits in their homeland from Islamic terrorism. The UPA should concentrate on expelling non-Indian muslims from Kashmir instead of promoting terrorism on Buddhiks by Tamilians. The SL was candid in inviting to clarify about humanitarianism. Why UPA is afraid of resignation of TN MPs.? The votebank politics for power played by UPA is the main reason for all evils like islamic terrorism, Vatican's ugly culture, regionalism, castism, goondaism like Raj Thakare, etc The UPA will do a good service to India if it introspect it's power politics.

GandhigiriBy: naresh | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 4:58:47 AM Reply | Forward The best way for the Tamils in Sri Lanka to gain recognition world wide for their human dignity and not a seperate homeland is to abandon weapons and all sort of terrorists activities and walk the walk of "Gandhigiri".

Come and clarify humanitarian position, SL to PranabBy: Arun | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 2:00:08 AM Reply | Forward continued.....India’s politicians, especially the politicians of Tamil Nadu, must help to build a United Sri Lanka and to achieve this they must work with the moderate political leaderships of Singhalese and Tamils. The pro-LTTE constituency in India should be fully aware of the deaths, destructions, miseries and torments inflicted on the people of Sri Lanka by LTTE’S armed bandits and Singhalese extremists. Now armed bandits of Muslims in Sri Lanka wants a homeland called ‘ISLAMIASTAN’ in Sri Lanka. The Tamil Nadu politicians, especially Karunanidhi and Jayalalitha, should divert their resources and energies to repossess Pakistan -the land rightfully belongs to Hindu Dravidians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and other natives whose cultural landscape Mohenjao Daro and Harrapa are irrefutable testimony to validate this claim.

Come and clarify humanitarian position, SL to PranabBy: Arun | Wednesday , 22 Oct '08 1:59:07 AM Reply | Forward All Sri Lankans (Tamils and Singhalese) are victims of divisive politics of Singhala radicals’ vote bank politics, Singhala Tamil communalism, and the various armed groups of bandits of Prabaharan, Karuna, Pillayan, Douglas Devanandan, and several other small armed group of Tamil bandits. A united Sri Lanka is possible and viable only if the above undesirable elements are strictly banned from public office and politics. There are well talented moderate Singhalese and Tamil leaders to lead the country to peace and prosperity for which very broad structural adjustments (meaningful devolution of power to the provinces on a gradual process) must be made as an immovable foundation for a United Sri Lanka.

Bahadur on Mukher jee to Sri Lanka By: Saravan | Tuesday , 21 Oct '08 23:07:03 PM Reply | Forward Yes, Rajiv Ghandhi assasination was grotesque. So was the attack on him in 1987 at the official welcome parade in Colombo. What was most upsetting was the killing of some 6000 Tamil people and raping of women at the hands of IPKF when things got out of hand. These are the sad facts of life.Harping on one event and not the others or coveniently forgetting others is not helpful. The Bangladesh intervention by India was also on account of a gross humanitarian crisis when its people were spiiling over into India to escape gross violence by W.Pakistan troops. Some 330,000 Tamils are in IDP camps in India and more are spilling over with resumption of war by SL government which unilaterally annulled the 2002 CFA on their promise to Sinhal Buddhist voters in October 2005 elections. If only 2002 to 2005 ceasefire brokered by IC including India with agreed 'federal political formula' was followed through none of what see could have happened. 800 TN fishermen killed by SL navy!

Mukherjee to Sri Lanka By: Saravan | Tuesday , 21 Oct '08 22:36:38 PM Reply | Forward This is Rohitha Boggolagama's latest canard using the 'war on terrrorism' trickery. Yesterday SL refused to allow a EU Mission to the country to investigate human rights situation in connection with the GSP trade concession which it has enjoyed from 2005. Earlier SL refused to allow UN Monitors at the last UNHRCouncil Meeting. The Sinhala Buddhist extremist government, like all previous ones from 1983, have been sitting on a mountain of gross crimes against Tamil citizens and war crimes , including mass graves of Tamils in the north and east which should be the subject for the International Criminal Court/UN Security Council under international huamnitarian law against war criminals concerned. He cited 'sovereignty' but under its own constitution sovereignty lies with the people, not with anybody else, including his President and himself! Democracy in east is a farce under brutal Sinhala military occupation with Karuna and Pillayan at war! ALL Tamils in N

Come and clarify humanitarian position, SL to PranabBy: Jey | Tuesday , 21 Oct '08 21:00:07 PM Reply | Forward Sri Lanakan foreign minister is trying to hide a pumbkin in a bowl of rice. The problem is not about democracy in the North and East of SL. Even if it is, for the minister's wish, nobody wants the democracy they practice in Sri Lanka.The issue is:the rights of the minority people in Sri LankaWell planned riots against the Tamils in 1956, 1977, 1979, 1983, 1985 by thungs and now the war against the Tamils.Address these Mr. Minister. Inviting the Indian foreign minister is a trick. The whole world knows the SL government had asked the UN groups to leave the war area where the people are suffering, and the NGOs have left. How can you take mr. Pranab Mukherji to those areas?
