Tamil govt during the last stages of war was against selling weapons to Sri-Lanka. Ports would come under economic part, don't know why they rejected.This is known news. India rejected thanks to Tamil sentiments of not to look like helping Sinhalese. coalition government screwed. Y regional parties.
I know of SLs who prefer India to China but were cold shouldered by India.. All thanks to the Tamil issue. So don't cry for the stupidity of the govt but the fallacy in the mindset of the regional party.
Sorry to say but this is one of the stupidest argument you ever put forth with - full of prejudice and lacking in depth and let me say why...This is known news. India rejected thanks to Tamil sentiments of not to look like helping Sinhalese. coalition government screwed. Y regional parties.

No, dont you guys blame the regional politics or in Yusuf's word's "respect for tamil sentiment" for this....blame the dumasses in foreign policy dept for that...i would at least not blame the GoI on this, this is all about regional politics. GoI did well to get a nod in yes to come up with a port in jaffna, if i recall the name of the place correctly.
Coming from the Tamil politicians, sometimes i wonder what is the truth as the Tamil politicians are well known for playing up things. The fishermen issue needs independent verification as to what really happens there. SL is denying it does that. Tamil politicians say SL does that. We need our coast guard to protect our waters and also make sure Indian fishermen dont cross over into SL waters.Okay, if you care about Tamil sentiments do something about the fishermen the Lankans are killing rather than fuck up strategic oppurtunities.
So you would rather believe the words of Lankans over that of your own countrymen..C'mon Yusuf...you think the weekly issue of fishermen getting attacked is some how "manufactured" by the Tamil politicians ?Coming from the Tamil politicians, sometimes i wonder what is the truth as the Tamil politicians are well known for playing up things.

There may be killings but then we also dont know the reasons for it. Though killing is not the right way to go about it when warnings should be enough for any encroachment. But then, years of bickering between Sinhalese and Sri Lankan Tamils and the support of Indian Tamils to the SL Tamils may be the reason why they are just killing the fishermen instead of warning in the event of them crossing into SL waters.So you would rather believe the words of Lankans over that of your own countrymen..C'mon Yusuf...you think the weekly issue of fishermen getting attacked is some how "manufactured" by the Tamil politicians ?
visit the coastal hamlets sttrewn along the coast from Tuticorin down south to Nagapaattinam up north...There will not be a single hamlet that has not lost someone to the lankan atrocities..
Oh c'mon you seriously believe that "bhais ka gobar" and want me also to believe ?India supplied the arms when the regional parties had no say in central politics. India would not have supplied arms or rather would not have been able to do so if the regional parties.
Once the regional parties came into power in the center, India could not send arms to SL. Pak and China stepped in.

Whatever be the reason....if Indian tamils are wrong only the SC of India has a goddamn right to punish us...not some puny islanders in their rust buckets....There may be killings but then we also dont know the reasons for it.
