Sarwan,
You seemed to be mesmerised by the so-called exuberant era of Europeans that started with Spanish and the Portuguese sailed the world in search of loot. Pity you do not know that Portuguese pirates that washed up to Sinhale have stole the ivory crown of our king and knocked down the beautiful ‘Kelaniya Temple’ that stood for more than millennia. Don’t take my word; read Christianity in Ceylon by Sir James Emerson Tennent to find out more.

D.B.S.Jayaraj wrote; a Tamil named Visvalingam first proposed to divide Sri Lanka in 1928 which he called ‘elom’. In 1928 British Raj ruled this country not Sinhalas.

So how on earth you can say; “LTTE was formed because of ultra racism and perverted Buddhism causing repression and murder of Tamils, an uncivilised character of the Sinhalese, nearing barbarism.” Do not talk bullshit.

I will tell you in short how and why LTTE was formed. Tamils have a dilemma. Tamils are over 65 million all over the world but they have no country. So, A man named EVR Periyar started to agitate a Dravidastan for Dravidains in the 1920s. That is long before Jinna even thought of a Pakistan for Muslims. When Dravidains opted out of Periyar’s band wagon after India marked states on racial basis Periyar changed his slogan to ‘Tamil Nadu for Tamils’. And, Tamils continued their separatist demand for Tamils in Tamil Nadu. But Nehru banned it in 1963 by the 16th amendment.

Thereafter racist Tamil Nadu politicians had appointed their kith and kin in Sri Lanka as their proxy to get what they cannot in India.

Your man tantai Chelva, self professed Ghandian but a trousered one at that took over from where Periyar and Visvalingam left. He told one thing to Tamils and another to Sinhalese. He tried to get Sinhalese to believe Tamils only want Federal. But from what had one on in India, Sinhalas knew true goal of Tamils of Sri Lanka is the same as Tamils of India – a separate county.

When trousered Ghandi failed to get what he wanted through protests, sittings and etc, he came up with the now infamous ‘Waddukkodai Resolution’. Last sentence of the resolution that was proposed and adopted at the party convention of, TULF on May 14th 1976 says; “And this Convention calls upon the Tamil Nation in general and the Tamil youth in particular to come forward to throw themselves fully into the sacred fight for freedom and to flinch not till the goal of a sovereign state of TAMIL EELAM is reached.”

It is that war we have ended on the May 19th 2009 around Nanthikadal lagoon. You cannot have a separate country here period

1. If the Westerners did not colonise us we will be still Veddahs roaming the jungles, killing each other, “might would have been right” without rule of law and judiciary, let alone accounting financially and corruption. We will be wearing amude and not trousers, bows and arrows and not guns. This would have made us uncivilised in this world.

2. LTTE was formed because of ultra racism and perverted Buddhism causing repression and murder of Tamils, an uncivilised character of the Sinhalese, nearing barbarism. Liberation movements such as LTTE were the good reason to liberate the people of more than 30 African countries. Therefore LTTE was a necessity caused by Sinhala barbarism.

3. The western inaction was more out of indifference than “divide and rule”.

4. Sri Lanka is not a small country. No one must cheat himself and others. There are at least 38 countries smaller than SL.

5. The island of “SL” has two nations with different culture, character and aspirations. The only way to live peacefully would be to allow each nation to have its autonomy in its territory by a new constitution, as the present “constitution” is illegally formed and flawed with several amendments- about 18- to put in order, And the “constitution” has became more flawed.
