Im a SinhaleseBy: Dil | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 14:22:25 PM Reply | Forward Im living in Colombo, Srilanka and Im a Sinhalese. Actually My hometown is faraway from Colombo. Im doing my job in Colombo. In my boarding house, my roommate is a Tamil. Like that there are lot of Tamil people in Colombo and suburbs. We called 'Wallawaththa' area The one of main area of Colombo to 'little Jaffna', because number of Tamil people are greater than Sinhalese people there. Often we go to theirs vegetarian shops and tastes meals. But I have never been Jaffna or Killinochchi. As a Sinhalese if I go there, definitely Ill be killed by LTTE. No one can find even a one Sinhala person from their controlled area. So why they fighting for separatism?
Should save the Tamil Peoples...By: Raj | Monday , 5 Jan '09 14:51:20 PM Reply | Forward First stop the war and need to save the publics. The indian Govt should strongly condem to SriLankan government to stop all the activites and ask them to give the freedom to Tamil peoples. Ine indian peoples and the government should support to LTTE, becaz they are fighting for freedom for the past 35 years.

wipe out LTTEBy: ek mallu | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 6:03:50 AM Reply | Forward Pulis are terrorist, what ever explanation is given. If India is too concerned they can take back all pulis from SL back to Iinda. Otherwise Indos sit tight and see how to deal with terrorists.What ever it is pulis should count 1,2,3 and lions should gand mar.All puli supporters will have there own arguments, but dont bother, just screws all tamils who talk for elamKarunan uncle is waiting to watch new annan movie yanthiram..... so dont disturb him

Right thing to doBy: Kannan | Friday , 2 Jan '09 22:17:26 PM Reply | Forward Fighting is not the answer to solve the differences in a democratic country where different ideas and interest thrive. When Fighters kill innocent people they loose support in their country and elsewhere. Do you know there is a large Tamil population in Srilanka and also abroad who are against LTTE? I know because I am from Toronto, Canada and I also been to London, UK. Many people are forced to pay money and also have to give-up their kids to fight for LTTE. Many people also lost their property to LTTE. I guess Tamils can elect their leader in their state and make him fight for their rights. That is the way to go. Same answer violence is not an answer for Kashmir/ Assam. Learn to live together and try to adjust in a multi cultural society.
FASCISM By: M.Rao | Friday , 2 Jan '09 19:36:14 PM Reply | Forward Sri Lanka is a militarised fascist state; there is only the autocratic rule of the corrupt, autocratic Singhalese megalomaniacs whose taste of victory had motivated increased appetite for territorial expansion with the collaboration of Pakistan, Bangladesh and the pro-Pakistan terror groups. India, UK, and the US should note its annual defence budget is more than 2.5 billion dollars. Who is financing Sri Lanka’s military hardware purchases? India has to do some hard thinking to act avert disastrous threats from is southern neighbour.
LTTEBy: kumarpush | Sunday , 4 Jan '09 0:34:10 AM Reply | Forward Dear Rao,ten terrorist came to bomabay and destroyed the hindu lives what happened to Buddhist countries who are peace loving people and fighting the war which was part supported by centre and now fully supported by state government.LTTE is being supported by Tamil naidu government who are giving them arms and other para finalia to fight the buddhist country and same monster had killed Rajeev gandhi.Prabhakaran and their allies should be hanged in red fort.Center government should not allow tamil government to support for any kind.long live sri lanka.wipe out the LTTE and their supporters.
On Srilankan IssueBy: Balu J | Friday , 2 Jan '09 17:37:11 PM Reply | Forward I have a feeling BJP would have handled it better. Unfortunately, the dravidian parties do not support BJP. Congress had never handled things properly in the last 60 years. We have fought 1 war with China, 3 wars with Pakistan and still fighting wth Pakistan. Congress basically has problems in dealing with international matters. BJP is the one that brought USA closer towards India, opened border marked with China to smoothen relations and people in the NorthEas too sell their products directly rather taking it to Bombay and then other countries. People in TN too do not realize how directly and indirectly NDA had made each region to grow. I have a feeling Congress does not have such vision and it never had. Tamils in TN when they feel sorryfor Tamils in SL, they should also realize because they had not voted properly.

Sri Lank and LTTEBy: KVSKumar | Friday , 2 Jan '09 13:03:39 PM Reply | Forward The conflict may not end even after the defeat of LTTE at the hands of SL Govt. forces. For that the Govt will have to ensure equal status for all its citizens just as we Indians enjoy - whether Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Budh, Muslim, or any. Subjugation by and at the hands of the majority Sinhalese had been the root cause for the forces like LTTE and the already eclipsed TELO, TULF, TNLF, to come up. If the SL govt. reforms itself and its all citizens, it will be better for itself and India. If the past is repeated, we can await to receive Tamil refugees from Sri Lank and witness political bickerings in TN and Delhi.
