Sri Lankan Tamils have a fundamental problem. That is of a selfish and divisive nature. We could have achieved Tamil Eelam long ago if not for this trait.

We all want to rule our selves. We cant accept leadership, we all want to be leaders.

This individualism is the main reason why Tamils as individuals are doing well in all walks of life , all over the world in all nature of economy.

But when it comes to a collective forum, organisation, political party, freedom movement we all fail miserably.

Even in simple forum such as old boys associations of various schools, there are splinter groups, and sub splinter groups.

Hindu Temples is another example, there are hundreds of Hindu temples set up by Tamil diaspora. Not because to serve god, but each of us want to be trustees of our own temples.

We simply cannot accept subordination whether to the Sinhala man or to another tamil.

This why in the modern time we have Karuna faction, Douglas Devananda faction, Uma Maheswara faction, Prabaharan faction, Mahtahya faction so on and so on.

Prior to the modern time we had Amirthalingam Faction, GG faction, Selva faction etc etc.

Then of course we have Eastern Tamil Faction, Jaffana Tamil faction, Colombo Tamil Faction. Within Colombo Tamil faction there is Wellawetta faction and Colmbo & faction
etc etc etc

This indvidualism is a positive thing in a way but when it comes to survival of the race Tamils are blind to the concept of Tamil race. What matters is a short term glory and for that we are willing to become traitors of our own race.

For this reason Sri Lankan Tamils as a collective group will never achieve a self respecting palce in the world.

As individuals we will survive.

The LTTE is doing more than just “stand upside down”

Whatever you write whatever LTTE do even if they stand upside down there won’t be any Ellam in this earth life time and it’s a dream of destruction of tamil’s life and properties. Until the SL tamil accept this no solution just spilling of blood. Dr Rajasingham is quite right thinker in this context I think. I tamils are watching the LTTE hollywood war film. Nothing useful won’t happen except LTTE leaders(until their life time)

If Buddha were ever to be re-born in srilanka his followers who are destroying buddhism and the land will want him to follow their model of buddhism and perhaps will teach him how to kill tamils and make a living in this beautiful island. The teachings of compassion,maithree karunava and the noble sayings are of no value to the monks who call themselves teachers and followers of buddha. Forceful erection of buddha sttues will never make buddhism to thrive but instead make buddha a monter in the eyes of the tamils who despise these cowardly cruel act of buddhist tyranny. Buddhism has become a mockery to srilanka and is the opium of the masses who are mislead into believing to the killing of tamils’aspirations as buddha’s teachings. The people very close to attaining Nibana among the staunch buddhists are people like Rambukwela and a host of others like Wicremanayake. These two are very close to attaining Nibbana. The poisionous snakes under the name of buddhist followers are bent on killing of tamils and say that’s what buddha wants them to do and pass the blame to the tigers.

The communal minded saffron clad power thirsty buddhist monk Medhananda Thera is propagating a violence gospel to unite the entire sinhala forces to wipe out the separatists who seek self-rule and calls self-rule as terrorism. Internationally accepted priciple of democracy is by the people for the people and of the people according to his clarification doesn’t apply to tamil people. If tamils seeking self rule is terrorism how is the sinhala attrocities,genocides and annihilation of tamils and their homes and lands defined by this buddhist hypocritical monk. This monk has been in the background for the eighty three massacre of tamils in colombo and he being a terrorist trying to paint the tigers seeking self-rule as terrorism has not learnt what democracy means. The sinhala perspective of srilanka being their own and everybody other than the sinhala buddhists are intruders is a nasty picture he has been taught by misguided twisted sinhala buddhist society. Buddha even at this stage were to appear to tell this monk his wrong doing he may reject his teachings and cling on to his chauvinism of calling tamils as separatists.Tamils have to decide their future of separation or self rule or whatever they want and not this bold headed monster for that matter.

The sinhala chauvinism with it’s deceptive politics and governance has been the root for tamils seeking their own governance. The sinhalese have no right to tell the tamils how they must live under sinhala hegemony by force. Tamils do not want to be a subjective race but would want to live as a separate tamil nation within a tamil speaking governance. Tamils and muslims who cherish tamil as their mother tongue would want a tamil government to be established within their perimeters wherein they have lived for centuries. If the sinhala race who are userps of lands,and homes of tamils and muslims are telling the world that srilanka is a sole property of their forefathers only and who by compassion only allowed tamils to live with them are a total lie. This is a myth. The sinhalese are in the habit of re-naming tamil areas with sinhala names and to add insult to injury would want to erect buddha statue to prove that they are all formerly a part of their kandyan kingdom. They hardly realise that tamils had their own kingdom too. This type of sinhala false hood and treachery and teaching sinhala children lies from their birth would only produce monsters out of children and not human beings. The type of animal slayings that are done on tamils prove that buddhism has not taught the difference between animals and humans to the sinhalese and thereby buddhists are mainly taught to kill tamils. The industrious tamil man is plundered to make a living for the sinhala thugs and bold headed monsters in their thousands to have a living out of plundered properties and monies of hard earned tamils’ wealths. Sinhala man is lazy to that extent he never wanted to earn a decent living but want to live a life to plunder others and make a lively hoods.

——-”The vaddukoddai convention that decided the type of governance tamils needed was clear and they allowed tamils to form their own separate entity away from sinhala hegimony.”——-

The vaddukoddai convention was 1976. VP had carried out his first murderm that of the ex-mayor of Jaffna in 1975.

The Vaddukoddai resolution rested on two falsehoods. The first was that the TULF represented the “Tamil speaking peoples”, when it soon became clear that the Muslims wished to have nothing to do with them. The second was to use the 1833 British formed administrative provinces as the territorial unit for the Tamil homelands when the whole of the Eastern province had been officially part of the Kandyan Kingdom and the hinterland basically uninhabited scrub jungle homeland not to Tamils or Sinhalese but to the anopholes mosquito.

Najaf:
Mahinda was elected by the Tamils by abstaining to vote. So your theory is flawed.
Further majority of ordinary Sinhala people dont want war and a negotiated settlement. To be honest ordinary sinhala people dont give a hoot if Tamils get Tamil Elam.

The sad fact as Donald Jay from NY has implied Sri Lanka is on a suicidal course.

Since 1959 , the first riots against Tamils, the politicians have not learnt any thing.

Mahinda is parading Douglas Devananda, a pariah dog, on to the world stage, while killing Tamils systematically, and the international community think that Tamils have power share.

What we need to understand why such a beautiful country is going down the suicidal path.

Why is Sri Lanka a killing field!
The answer is simple.Nnaked Budhhist Monks, thier robes stripped off blowing punches during a peace march, is a true reflection of the Sinhala masses!

Mahinda Rajapakse was elected to his his position as president in acceptance of his manifesto of no CFA no Homeland No tamil self-rule and others that are contrary to the CFA signed between UNP and LTTE. The moment he was elected president by the predominantly sinhala votes the tamils’ cause has been put into jeopardy by the sinhala populous and Mahinda cannot be held accountable for the people’s choice. The CFA is totally in effective as far as Mahinda is concerned and therefore he doesn’t have to give a damn about CFA. The LTTE and the tamils are left with no choice other than to accept the people’s verdict or on the contrary fight back the Mahinda regime to make another CFA if he wants it that way or fight till their aspirations are attained in a fierce battle for survival of the fittest.
