HEILTAMIL ...I agree to your points regarding The SriLankan Pm. But lets put things in perspective here...HEILTAMIL;702276 the current anger and views reflected here is mainly cos of painting the whole TN as LTTE symapthiers or separatists said:non-existing dravidstan theory, when the whole of TN raises its voice 3 years after the civil war agitates due to the ongoing genocide which is apolitical and purely humane
acting as a mouthpiece of nationalism has its limits,
IF IF by chance MODI becomes the PM of INDIA and some country (hint hint..) agitates saying that he has not been honestly tried for Gujarat 2002 will you as a INDIAN agree to it???
My other grouse is that this whole UN thingy is sponsored by the US....the country that has for its own National security supported some of the most brutal dictators in this world. Pot calling the kettle black???
Also by saying that INDIA is supporting Rajapakse is being blind to many facts... INDIA has consistently voted against Lanka in may resolutions in the UN now. (I am not talking about rumours circulated about back channel meetings but facts on the ground).
2.) India has consistently given aid and money for rebuilding of lives and shelter for civilians caught in this cross fire both in Lanka as well as refugees in INDIA.
Accept it or not INDIA had a lot of clandestine clout in Lanka.Also we can always push them if need be.(remember the dropping of food supplies in Jafna during the 80s). We could so a lot of back door arm bending in-order to ensure that the tamil civilians got atleast a modicure of support from the Lankan government.By this way alteast the refugees where taken care of somewhat and some sort of closure could be brought to the people suffering by returning to thier homeland. But now what do we have on have our hands...
India openly supporting against Lanka ensures...
The Lankans will never listen or respond to our back door channels now.We have literally pushed then into China's lap now. Do you really think by doing this agitation in Tamil Nadu matter even a little bit in the USA or china. For all the song and dance that the US is doing currently once the Chinese through thier wait behind Lanka they WILL back off. After that where will INDIA be??? Also the refugees that we where returning to their homeland with support of the Lankan ministries and do you really thing all this is going to improve their plight?
so what was the end result of all this. Will any country allow thier democratically elected PM to stand trail...are you really that naive?
Also you might not concern yourselves about the rest of INDIA but the lakhs of people who are working in factories, textiles,software parks etc... and providing products and services to the rest of INDIA do care. We are part of the indian union irrevocably whether we like it or not. Tamil Nadu will and has benefited as much by this as the rest of India. Should be careful when throwing around words like seperation etc.. Are we so stupid as to shoot ourselves in the foot and All for what because Prabhakaran's son was killed? Who is going to stand up for the thousands of ordinary tamil civilian who where affected by him...will Prabhakaran family stand trail for his war crimes?
Ultimately this is all revenge politics which will lead to nothing.
