Grievences are there for every body....not only for Tamils, but also for Sinhalese and Muslims in Sri Lanka...
It is simple....Human being never get satisfied with what they get...they need more...this is the natural human behaviour....

But terrorism is not the solution for grievences..Terror creats more grievences...more problems...
So first eradiacte terror and then try to address the grievences of ALL...(not only Tamils..)

Tamils did not hire a Terrorist group but the Sinhala budhist state created those groups by their own actions against the non-violent protests.

It is funny JHU is making a statement about the British colonial rule. JHU and the sinhalease should look on the mirror and think about what they are doing to the Tamils now:

Quote:

The Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU) will appoint a committee to look into the damage caused by the British invasion of Sri Lanka, JHU Western Provincial Council candidate Udaya Gammanpila said yesterday.

“We hope to find evidence that will help us build our case and eventually take the British government to courts internationally and file legal action in their own courts,” Mr. Gammanpila said.

According to him the invaders not only plundered the natural resources of the country but also imposed their culture on the people while prohibiting and changing the cultural traditions of the Sinhala and Hindu ethnicities.

Therefore, the British government was guilty of laying the platform for the ethnic conflict and racial disharmony of our country, he alleged.

They are absolutely right. The tamils should also fight on the international courts to take legal action against the British to hand over the Tamil kindom to the Sinhala administration.

Sinhala only act, colonisation, standardisation are:
prohibiting and changing the cultural traditions of Tamils (by the Sinhala regimes after independence).

You talked about racism:

The racism is started by the Sinhala regimes in the form of Sinhala nationalism and the immediate response by the Tamils was the Tamil nationalism from the north and east majority tamils. All the protests in the parliment and outside were met with violent consequences by the state and violent youth groups formed to liberate the occupation.

I am a Tamil and I am for freedom and autonomy for Tamil in Srilanka and do not try to interpret that I am anti Sinhalease or anti Budhists. What I have been consistently complaining about the Sinhala Budhist regime to make the North and East to be ruled by the Sinhala Budhist agenda.

If Siinhala Budhist rule rightfully is for the Sinhala south by the same standard respect the Majority Tamils of the north and east to have a Tamil administration.

I have been consistent about my stand:
Peace4all, not peace4all at the expense of peace4sinhalease only.

This is a very tragic situation, hope govt will do everything to bring these people's lives to a normal situation.

Don't do stupid talk man... These are Your Tax Dollars At Work.

Even now you don't give s..t about your people left in SriLanka - only whining from safety of Toronto. I am reading your peoples comments in Toronto Star - Good insight into just how much of racist you guys are, even liiving in so-called "multicultural" Canada.

Tell me a one single positive thing you have done to achieve the above for the Tamils living in Sri Lanka other than campaigning for terrorists from the comforts of Canada.

you arre the one who kills the innocent refugees by carpet bombing and blind artillery barrage. You are doing this because you do not want a tamil race in SL.
While you are killing and destroying innocent tamil children and women without any age differences, now you are telling tamils are racists. what kind of person you are? Look at your 'real' face on your mirror and you will see the real racist face.

There is no denial of rights of Tamils in Sri Lanka and they should be no different from Sinhalese.

Peace should be brought to both communities.

Not all Sinhalese are racists and same goes to Tamils as well.

Having said that....  terrorism has to be uprooted at any cost.  Civilians will pay a price by doing so.
Unfortunately the death and misery today will be the investments for better tomorrow.

People, hang in there, things will be tough.  Have the faith in the government and hopeful that things will be OK.

If you are a Tamil and passionate about LTTE, you are the problem and we want you out.

That statement is patently false and mostly reflects what you want than the actual situation. If the LTTE doesn;t want to be shot at, they just need to surrender. Quite simple,

If there was any kind of desire on anyones part NOT to have a Tamil race in SL, there has been enough time to accomplish it. Why wait till the whole world is looking like the past 30 years ?  Sinhalas could have eliminated Tamils in SriLanka a long, long time ago if they really wanted to - the fact that it is not so, speaks for itself.

If you are truly concerned about civilians, bring your diaspora influence to bear and ask for their release. The reports from HRW and the UN should be enough to convince you that the people ARE being held by the LTTE. Ask them why they did not release any civilians during the 48-hour ceasefire a couple of weeks back. If they had, you wouldn;t have to weep like you are doing above.

As I mentioned to P4A, you can't call me a racist and get away with it. One half of my family is Tamil. Yes we do have problems which need to be addressed but not like this and NOT by the LTTE representing us. I thank god they my family is not wrapped up in the cloak of hatred and self-destructive bitterness that you obviously have - and you supposedly live in an enlightened country ! Big Deal!

Look at any post anywhere done by the pro-LTTE diaspora (I do not know whether you count yourself among them). It all revolves around "sinhala government" "sinhala army" "sinhala", "sinhala"  and nothing else, even though pretty much every other constitutent community is represented in those institutions. That's all that's on the mind. Comparatively, almost every opposing viewpoint is anti-LTTE, not anti-Tamil. So tell me again, where is the racism ?

Just look at the fantastic garbage written in the newpaper I referred to,  "forced abortion", .. "army is only Sinhala" , "no medical care for Tamils" and in the very next post "Tamil medical facilities being bombed".... - You can't tell me these are not wild ravings at best and disinformation at worst. There's more if you care to read for yourself.

I know you fervently wish for wholesale and generalised anti-Tami violence and  racism from people of SriLanka because that is the ONLY way this call for a separate state will gain any kind of traction. The LTTE chose this path for you as your sole-representative. You did not oppose the self-appointment, nor did you oppose the path they took - now it is all turning to goo (Sinhala word) in your hands. LTTE obviously feels all is fair in love and war - unfortunately, as one of their represented people, you have to deal with their decisions and consequences

You also took us down with you.

I say it again, you backed the wrong horse. Time is coming to pay up. You bet, you lost. Too bad., so sad.
