THE LOGICAL OPTION- UN REFERENDUM is the BEST OPTION for Eelam People
Hi Karuppen,
One cannot see any difference between the Indo Srilankan Propaganda against Tamil liberation struggle by dividing LTTE and Tamils.
Indian trained militant groups- EPDP, EPRLF, PLOTE, TELO, etc- have been killing Tamils while LTTE target only SINHELLa Military and Police without harming even Sinhalese people- Almost all Sinhala victims were killed by either Srilankan Military and Police or Srilankan and Indian aided Paramilitaries in order to blame the Tigers as terrorists, NO WONDER THE SRILANKA REFUSE and SABOTAGE ANY INVESTIGATION of ANY KILLING of CIVILIAN to save their Terrorist Military and Paramilitaries.
If LTTE militancy failed, so did the Democratic Politics by the Tamil polity since 1915 to 1976.
So, according to your theory, both failed, don’t go back to where we were.
In my view, We must not go back to militancy anymore but take a leaf from the EAST TIMOR Liberation struggle and work for UN REFERENDUM in EELAM to decide the WILL of TAMILS and MUSLIMS of the island while making the NAZI SRILANKAN BANKRUPT like the world did to SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID NAZI REGIME.
By supporting the DICTATORS MAHINDA & BROS Butchers, we are doing diservice to Sinhalese people also because they are at the receiving end of Terrorism by the BUTCHERS now.
We have to synchronize all Tamil bodies and Tamils with Muslims to fight peacefully and democratically to put pressure to the international community to allow UN REFERENDUM in EELAM. As it is democratic way, No country can veto the referendum.
As per the USELESS Indian Congress Mules ruling India UNFORTUNATELY, India can never ever challenge the Mighty Chinese anymore, China CHECKMATED the WILLING VICTIM INDIA and IMPRISONED the India within its Natural borders. NEXT LOGICAL PREDICTION WILL BE IMPLODING INDIA INTO PIECES as THEY WERE BEFORE THE BRITISH.
Don’t Bet on SINKING INDIAN SHIP. India no more a power let alone a regional power.
Only an insane will hope India will help Eelam Tamils while India cannot even CONDEMN the SRILANKAN NAVY klllings of Indian Fishermen.
IF THE USA STOP FUNDING the ISRAEL, ISRAEL WILL THINK ABOUT RECONCILIATION WITH PALESTINIANS.
THE SAME APPLIES TO THE NAZI SRILANKA, WHEN SRILANKA MADE BANKRUPT, SRILANKA WILL TALK PEACE.
As per reconciling with NAZI Srilanka even after 62 years of Ethnic Cleansing of Minorities and Genocide of Tamils with CONCENTRATION CAMPS of more than 300,000 Tamils, and still ongoing Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide in all over the island, IF ANYONE ADVOCATE RECONCILIATION WITH SINHELLA NAZI TERRORIST SRILANKA, I WILL TELL THEM TO LOOK AT THE DESPERATE SITUATION OF POOR PALESTINIANS BY USA AND WEST DOING THE SAME HELP TO ISRAEL DESPITE ISRAEL DOING THE GENOCIDE AND ALL ATROCITIES AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS,
We Tamils must not allow the Srilanka to Prsoper and do the same like Israel to kill all Tamils and Muslims,
Srilanka – with all the DEBTS- adamant on Sinhala NAZISM – will do worse tahn now if they are allowed to be richer than now,
CUT OFF THE BLOOD STREAM of SINHELL ANZISM by Cutting of the ECONOMY allowing them to fund the NAZi SInhELLA terrorist military, then they cannot do the Sinhella terrorism against Minorities and will talk peace.
ONLY A DEAD SINHELLA RACIST is the Best thing on the Earth.
PLEASE DON’t GIVE POLLU to SINHELLA racists with your own money to be beaten by the same POLLU.
Hi P John,
As per Hinduism, Hinduism is not a SINGLE religion as the India never been a SINGLE COUNTRY before the British came there.
HINDUISM is an UMBRELLA of several religions and SAIVAM is one of them and the OLDEST. SAIVAM itself named after SIVA. Please don’t use SHIVA because the Aryan took H out of THAMIL and PUT the H in SHIVA to make both alien to THAMILS.
SIVAPPU – In Sanskrit they translated RUDRA meaning RED- SIVA.
Thamil civilisation FLOURISHED in SINTHU VELLI(now in Pakistan where they desstroyed mosy of them and India don’t care cos the civilisation belonged to Thamils)
Then the ARYAN invaded and imposed their version of SAIVAM – called HINDUSIM- by using the KRISHNA as the MAIN God – VAISHNAVAM.
Now, we Tamils also wrongly believe that We are Hindus but they know we are not Hindus and support the Sihella terrorist Srilanka.
The HINDUISM promote the Krishna as the Main God whose behaviour the right opposite to the Tamil culture of ONE MAN ONE WIFE and HINDUSIM keep the GOD Siva as the DESTROYER.
RAMAYANA itself created to HUMILIATE and DESTROY SAIVAISM and SAIVAM by fabricated stories against the SAIVA TAMIL KING RAVANAN and even called the TAMILS as MONKEYS in Ramayana.
It is a LONG STORY.
As per the reconciliation with NAZI Sin-Hella racist Srilanka, who show no remorse at all for all the Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide and still justifying, celeberating the Genocide as CONTINUOUS Victory celebrations and ESCALATED ETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in Vanni MAINLAND as I write this moment, Then IN WHAT TERM Tamils can reconcile with the barbaric Bucthers ruling the island???????
In the history of the world, If we look at the two NAZI racist terrorist regimes- SOUTH AFRICAN WHITE APARTHEID REGIME and USA and West Funded Terror state Israel, We can detect that ONLY PRESSURE and BANKRUPTCY of the South Africa made them to COME CLEAN on Peace BUT ISRAEL STILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE AND NOW EVEN IF THE WEST WANTED, THEY CANNOT FORCE THE ISRAEL TO COME CLEAN ON PEACE AS ISRAEL NOW A NUCLEAR POWER.
The same logic applies to the NAZI Srilanka whose ECONOMY must be broken beyond repair to amke

Unless a certain section of Tamil Diaspora, still imbedded in militancy idea, free their mind from the shackles of militancy, the Tamils in Sri Lanka will never have a chance of realizing their freedom for an independent homeland in Sri Lanka.
Hello Vani:
The militancy idea, translated by LTTE into action, not only failed but also has exposed the whole Tamil civilians to a stateless condition in Sri Lanka today. Those who have witnessed the genocide of innocent Tamils in 2009 will NEVER float this idea again. Once is more than enough to say NEVER AGAIN. Even if those voicing their indirect militant support will experience the same result by exposing the Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka again to another genocide or exodus of Tamils from Sri Lanka.
It is easy to entertain the militant idea against majority Singhalese community. It was thought that India would hurry to support the Tamils by extending deterrence against Sri Lanka on its war on LTTE and Tamils civilians. The reality was to the opposite: Decimation of LTTE, displacement of innocent Tamils, the present stateless condition of Tamils, etc.
Tamil politicians in Sri Lanka have to field in their efforts in wielding a joint democratic voice for the reinstatement of basic human rights of Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka. Tamils or their political representatives ARE NOT IN A STRONG POSITION to make any deal of their own with the Singhalese government today. When you position is weak, you have to learn to refrain from exposing the innocent Tamils to further genocide. This is the old wisdom of surviving. This is the gist of my writings.
Today the art of communication has refined to such as a level as to incorporate the powerful human values into the issues troubling a society. That communication is RECONCILIATION with your enemy.

Mr Karuppen, It seems you are a very good writer, but it may be a good idea to write these comments in Sinhalese websites. Perhaps you can write comments for the ant Tamil articles which are published in some Sinhalese websites.
I hope you read the following article in this website.
http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2010/03/from-barbaric-buddhism-to-civilized.html.
Thanks.
My answer to Vami’s comments:
I do not write any articles to any Singhalese web sites nor am interested in pretending to write any anti Tamil articles to any news media. That is not the purpose in my articles.
If accusation does not level to the commission of an act, it clearly shows a mind still growing, but not fully grown, through experimenting with its own fancy ideas.
Everybody has the right to air his or her ideas. I do not expect anybody to concur with expression of my ideas nor do I agree with anybody if I see the other side of the argument more tenable and more meaningful.
Your writings clearly show the readers how you poorly conduct yourself with informing yourself of the poly-sided argument of an idea that defies solution on a grand scale. Democracy is a basic right of each and every human being to disagree with others. A thing has more than one life just as an idea has more than one face.
Whether my writings appeal to a fragment of Tamil Diaspora or not is not the issue here. The issue is the continued search for a lasting solution to the artificial problems the Tamil community in Sri Lanka face today.
All the major achievements in life hide a simple fact. If you find it, you can win the whole world.
March 11th, 2010 on 8:52 pm
We have to carefully separate two issues here. One is rhe general good of the Tamils in Sri Lanka, and the other is the part played by the Tamil militancy group whatever it is. The militancy group is or was not the Tamil community itself, nor the Tamil community is the essence of the militant group. The two are two poles of the called Injustice and discrimination.
The militant group adopted violence as the tool of achieving the condition for the independent homeland for the Sri Lankan Tamils. But It not only failed, but also decimated the militant group and displaced the Tamils as homeless refugees in their homeland.
When a certain tool failed to produce the results expected of a system, there are at the disposal of the Tamil community other tools. The one still to be tried is the tool of reconciliation. Reconciliation is not surrender, but a survival mechanism. Certain Tamil Diaspora members, imbedded in the idea of militancy, feel left out and very much hurt by the defeat and decimation of the militant group. Instead of wallowing in the idea of militancy of one sort or another, they have to mount pressure on foreign governments to get involved in the peace process to install peace and harmony as the prerequisite for a meaningful dialogue between the dissenting parties in Sri Lanka.
History is a muddle of dirty water. Not a single person of worth will ever waste his or her time digging deeper and deeper into the stinking mud. Leave aside Hindu or Saiva religious recantations. They will not solve the problems at hand now.
Reconciliation and mobility of global voice of democratic governments in power today are the two powerful tools the Tamil Diaspora has to use to bring the rebellious Sri Lankan government to the bargain table.
Some interesting developments are to impact on the global approach to Sri Lankan Tamil issue. The UN is under pressure from all fronts to proceed with an official inquiry into the crimes Sri Lankan government and Tamil militant group have committed. Another is the strong Chinese presence in Sri Lanka which poses a grave danger to Indian security in the Indian Ocean. India is not going to be an idle duck any more. It is time India woke up from the Sri Lankan sedation and asserted its regional presence. The woes and grievances of the Sri Lankan Tamils are the powerful tools for India to implement corrective measures to ward off Chinese threat to Indian security. Once adopted, this measure will win back the hearts of Tamil Nadu of India.

Hello Yoganathan and Siva,
I copied Yoganathan’s comment below.

Karuppen must be the Srilankan SPY using a Fake Tamil name to divide Tamil opinion by advising the Tamils to reconcile with butcher who kill them.
Roshan is a Sinhala racist and honest, let him to do the good job of waking up Tamils in deep coma.
To a frightened mind everything is a ghost or looks like a ghost. This is the situation that describes your approach to the subject under discussion. If you keep peeling an onion, you end up with nothing in the end. It is as simple as that.
I am neither a Sri Lankan SPY nor am I interested in dividing the Tamil opinion.
Rushing to a conclusion clearly shows your failure of grasping the truth hidden from your view and incompetence in dealing with any situation that challenges your mind. If I do not support your views or measure up to your expectations, it does not mean that I am your enemy. You become an enemy to yourself.
I am a Tamil born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. I never advocate militancy of any freedom fighter group. Militancy against the established majority community in Sri Lanka has created the present stateless condition of Tamil community in Sri Lanka. This should be a good lesson for those who still have a vain hope of reverting to arms struggle to realize their aspiration for an independent homeland for Sri Lankan Tamils.
It is only through a political dialogue that both the dissenting parties could find a solution to the grievances experienced by the minority Tamils. First and foremost, an amicable climate for building trust to approach the other party has to be realized. It is only the trust that has the power of dissolving the knots of tension still either dominant or recessive in the relationship with the other party.
Reconciliation with the oppressive force is NOT SURRENDER itself. It is a survival mechanism.
Again I want to make this point clear. Who has the human nature to approach the other dissenting party to build the trust for the political dialogue? Come forward and do something to change the situation.
I do not write nice theories here as Siva has mentioned in his post. I have already posted an article welcoming the chauvinistic writings by Roshan. Read Siva to inform yourself of the facts that will help you understand your views.
Everybody has the right to air his or her views. If a person feels offended, he also has the same right to say his or her view or idea. Nobody is here boss or servant.
If you deny others a certain right, you also do not have the right to enjoy it any more.
I have below copied my post I wrote to this web page to thank Rosham. Read Siva.

Hello Roshan,
Unknown to your consciousness, you have done a great service to Tamil Diaspora. Your chauvinistic remarks against the Tamil community in your writings have clearly shown the world who you are and what your hidden motives are. As you know there is not any chance whatsoever for you with your efforts for personal enrichment, either politically or on a gratified level. The Sri Lankan regime does not care either about you or your cry for splitting the community further.
The great service you have done to the Tamil Diaspora is that it has brought together otherwise dissenting Tamils on major issues. What else could they have done without your chauvinistic writings? You are a wonderful friend of Tamils. Even in enmity there is a touch of hidden friendship. You have proved your worth without knowing it.
Throw mud again and again on the face of Tamils living both in Sri Lanka and abroad. The mud will not defame them, but, instead, decorate them with garlands of compassion and understanding by the global world citizens.
Keep doing it. You help us the Tamil Diaspora to make us drive the nail deeper and deeper into the law of consciousness of democratic leaders in power today for change in policy towards Sri Lanka.
Thanks again. We need you.
March 9th, 2010 on 8:38 pm
P John,
How can one reconcile with Sinhala racists who are >99% in Sinhala race whose ideology is that THE WHOLE ISLAND BELONG TO SINHALESE only and all Srilankan institutions are Sinhala racists and no sane person can see anything to compromise with them at all.
The Sinhala race(majority except a few UNKNOWN) believe in the Mahavmsa and even justifying the GENOCIDE and CONCENTRATION CAMPS of Tamils in the name of their religion(please don’t insult the GREAT BUDDHISM by calling them as Buddhists).
Your theory like urging Lamps to reconcile with Butchers. How GULLIBLE you are!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 9th, 2010 on 7:54 pm
I agree with Karuppen. It’s time for us tamil to build the bridge.
For the sixty years we tamil “fought” non-violence and arm struggle. But never tried reconciliation. That is the only option we have now to save tamils in Sri Lanka (not diaspora).
We wasted 30 years behind a fool (VP) and who destroyed many and our independant and critical thinking. It’s time for us get out.

March 9th, 2010 on 12:09 am
China and India will fight soon before 2012.
As China ENCIRCLED and IMPRISONED the Feeble India within its borders by creating STRING of PEARLS in Pakistan, Burma, Bangaladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Now Srilanka, Either India will IMPLODE and become 30 states as they were before the British created the India- YES INDIA MADE in BRITAIN, there was no such a state called India before the British like Srilanka never been a Single country before the British or India have to fight the Chinese and chase Chinese out of Indian neighbours.
In many political observers’ views, First thing will happen, that is, India will IMPLODE into 30 pieces as India cannot fight the mighty Chinese at all.
USA and west also cannot come to aid the India.
Actually, the West will anticipate and even encourage a Long war between China snd India as West losing control over the most parts of the world.
March 9th, 2010 on 12:00 am
Like TARAKI Mr.Sivaram said several times, after he interacted with so many so called SINGHALESE with common sense, SINHALA RACE NEVER EVER AGREE TO SOLVE the Tamil issue amicably at all.
Please don’t waste another 62 years believing the IDIOTIC theory of Reconciliation with the Sinhala race among those JUST a FEW INDIVIDUALS are not brain washed with Mahavamsa and 99% are 100% Sinhella racists.
ONLY AN INSANE PERSON ADVOCATES LAMPS to rconcile with BUTCHERS.
Just forget the IDIOTIC SELF DESTRUCTIVE theory of reconciling with Sinhala nation ruled by INSTITUTIONALISED SinHella racist bodies including Judicery and Religious bodies.
Even in billion years, one cannot change the SInHella racists who just will not even accept Tamils and Muslims as their citizens let alone allowing Autonomy as Srilanka just denied even the OSLO Proposals TNA claimed to include in their manifesto.
DID ANY SINHELA BODIES CONDEMN the Srilankan government for that. RESOUNDING NO.
Karuppen writing nice stories to please confused Tamils but the time for reconciliation gone with 2009 Genocide and CONCENTRATIOn camps with Continuous Victory celebrations by the NAZI SinHELla racists who rule the Sinhala polity and religion.
I HUMBLY URGE THE TAMILS NOT TO BE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLED AGAIN BY THE SOUND BITES OF SO CALLED RECONCILIATION WITH BUTCHERS AND START REGAING OUR LOST CULTURE AND BECOME ARTICULATE AND AGGRESSIVE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.
TAMILS HAVE THE WILL AND SKILL WITH LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG HISTORY OF BRAVERY BUT WE LOST OURS DUE TO OUR ENEMIES WRITTEN OUD HISTORIES TO DDESTROY US.

Hello Vani,
I noted your comments with interest.
We should never treat the Singhalese community all alike in the same basket of isolation. It is only a selected group of radicalized minds that create ripples of dissent, dissension, and disharmony in the society. These elements know that their tactics have their own limits in artificial projection of violence.
Problems in a society are signposts, but they are not blockades on the path to a just and balanced social life. Violence is definitely not the answer to problems either in a personal or social life. Anything achieved by means of violence loses its glamour and endurance and the results fade away as soon as they have surfaced in a society. It does not create the climate for the support of the existence of its integrity.
Tamil community, with a history spanning through many four or five digits figure life, are not fighters, but they have been successful survivors, even under extremely harsh adverse life conditions. That is the secret of Tamil ethnicity.
Definitely the situation in Sri Lanka today is going to change with the change of foreign policy India has adopted until now. With Chinese gaining an upper hand in influencing Sri Lankan politics towards outside world and internal power equilibrium at home, a super power like India is not going to restrict itself to the fancy ideas of Sri Lanka any more. With Chinese strong presence in Sri Lanka, India does not feel good at home concerning Indian security. India might change its course in foreign policy overnight and it will force Sri Lanka to compromise certain issues paving the way for devolution of power to indigenous Tamils at regional levels.
Solutions to problems are always within the problems themselves.
If an aggressor has unleashed a social turmoil, it is only through the same aggressor a solution could easily be found to resolve the problem. Tamil Diaspora should keep playing the ball in the turf, creating the motion waves all over the world to awaken the democratic leaders in power today. Even a change of policy at the UN quarters is going to emerge soon.
What we the Tamils have witnessed so far is only a curtain. The curtain is not the show itself. When the curtain is raised, the whole world will see the real show. This is the way Truth asserts its integrity.
Tamil Diaspora should focus on improving communication channels so that any hot spot news in Sri Lanka is brought to the attention of world citizens immediately. It is only through self-awareness that a mobility of collective consciousness is raised to create the energy to assert the basic rights to be encoded into a policy of corrective measures to realize the aspiration of the Tamil community.
Some radicalized Singhalese churn out chauvinistic writings. They are definitely NOT the voice of peace-loving Singhalese community. We should never fall a victim to the tactical manipulation of the radical elements, both Singhalese and Tamils. Their main purpose is to exploit every single opportunity for a personal enrichment. We should guard ourselves against playing into their tricks to reflect their radical response to their acts of volatality.
If Satan knows that we know the Satan’s dance, its effect on us will sizzle out leaving us unharmed.
It is not the man who rules the world, but his or her idea. A good formulated idea survives the adversity of all time.
March 8th, 2010 on 1:07 pm
Thank you friends, Mawatha Silva and tamil kovil for your remarks.
Our country Sri Lanka is known for valuable real hard gems, but the most valuable and prescious gem in our life is the old friendship between the peace-loving Singhalese and Tamils that has decorated our life with charm and grace in the communal life in Sri Lanka.
Definitely the old frindship and trust will revive even though a group of extremely polarized minds keep churning out ripples of discord, dissension, and disharmony in Sri Lankan society.
An enlightened mind always seeks after Truth in life.
Our journey in life is to discover UNITY in DIVERSITY.
March 8th, 2010 on 6:16 pm
Mr Karuppen, I am sure most of the Tamils agree with your comments about unity in diversity, but I’m afraid it is impossible to re-educate the Sinhala community and release their mind from the myth of Mahawamsa. They are brain washed from very young age. Sinhalese were taught that Mahawamsa says “10 Tamils lives not equvalent of one Sinhala life”. Tamils tried their maximum to live together with Sinhalese faught in non-violence then armed struggle for a political solution. Tamils wanted to be treated equaly and enjoy rights same as Sinhalese enjoy. Time will give us answer and solutions for our struggle!
March 8th, 2010 on 12:14 pm

Chinese presence in both Kachchatheevu and Paalaitheevu does not portend well for Indian security in the Indian Ocean. The failure of a balanced foreign policy on the part of India in supporting ethnic minority’s basic human rights to live as humans in Sri Lanka has unravelled this incident. It is not only a singular evolution of political uneasiness, but there are already signs of suspected Chinese military installations in Sri Lanka targeted at the Indian security as well.
Is it going to be a tug-of-war between India and China in shooting at the satellites now cruising freely in the sky? One way or another it is going to disturb the balance of power between the two countries.
The myopic evaluation of policy makers in Indian foreign policy has invited this situation, which otherwise could have been avoided by strengthening India’s position in world political arena by being tough with the present Sri Lankan run-astray regime to implement a policy of devolution of power to the Sri Lankan Tamils at the regional levels. It is still not late to invoke corrective measures.
What you deny others will slip through your own fingers. This is a good example.
March 8th, 2010 on 10:10 am
Are the Chinese new Colonial Masters in Sri Lanka ?
