Are you a born idiot or became one in the two long years you have lived for?
Do you know what war is? Crimes were committed by both sides, not just one side.
Don't give a hopelessly one sided view of things when you don't know anything.
Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated because the LTTE is a terrorist organization and have always targeted civilians since the beginning.
Both sides simply flared up the issue and tried to one up each other since the 60s.
Yes, soldiers were beheaded by a country which is an enemy. They crossed the border to do that while we had ceasefire agreements.
TN's fishermen have knowingly crossed maritime boundaries and were killed in the process.
Do you even know how the boundary system works? Do you even know why countries go to war against each other over boundary issues.
You say 450 fishermen were killed etc etc. But where did you pull out the magic number from? Official numbers killed is currently less than 100 dead from 1991 to 2011, all verified. The other 350 must be ones who simply didn't return home from storm and other accidents at sea. So even missing people are added to the death count in TN. Sure, there is no concrete way of knowing and the actual numbers. There is a chance a single boat was caught by the Navy and the crew killed. But there is also a chance the boat capsized and didn't return. The crew may have died in the process. Heck there could be so many cases of intentional killing as well. Take a guy on a boat, dress him up like a fisherman, shoot him, set him adrift in the sea, found by other fishermen, blame SL Navy, murderers are scot-free. Do one every week and you have 52 in a year already. Heck we don't even know how many are actually smugglers who killed each other. So what are you all doing there, simply adding numbers like little kids without knowing or checking anything?
Obviously most of it is political propaganda. And people like you fall for it. You just saw some random number posted on the internet and believed it, that's because you are indeed a damn fool.
Indian fishermen are being killed by the SL Navy because the fishermen are crossing a maritime border. Because they carry GPS and they know their exact location, the SL Navy can back it up with actual information that can be used in courts. Our fishermen don't have GPS equipment or transponders, they will knowingly or unknowingly cross this invisible line and are killed in the process. It is, oh, so obvious that the fault lies with the TN government for not providing GPS transponders on all boats and also many of the fish merchants who can afford GPS devices but don't provide it to fishermen to save costs. I think some of this is changing now. So we can hope for better things in the future.
Also, the numbers killed does not justify applying any kind of pressure by India on Sri Lanka that you are insisting on.
These are the "official" figures for border deaths between 1991 and 2011 in India. 20 years.
85 fishermen killed by Sri Lanka in 10 years: Govt - Times Of India
For the sake of discussion, let's assume 450 fishermen died of various causes, including shot by the Navy and let's have a look at a place that sees a similar situation. The US-Mexico border.
These are the "official" figures for border deaths in the US between 1998 and 2004. 6 years.
National Briefing - Southwest - New Mexico - A Mass For Border Crossers - NYTimes.com
Note that the Mexicans, Central American countries and the US have never been in a state of war to affect these deaths. OTOH, Sri Lanka is a country at war and hence their military will have been allowed a legal and more liberal use of force compared to the US border patrol.
Of course, they were all not shot by the police. Mostly natural deaths, followed by accidents and then followed by police action.
Also, note the police are trained to talk first and shoot later, unlike the military.
So, shut the fark up and let the central govt handle the fishermen issue in a proper diplomatic manner.
Don't get emotional about everything.
Where did you get this nonsense from? We are in the 21st century, not in the 10th century. You've been fed so much nonsense that you sound exactly like the camel riding donkeys from the west. Replace TAMILS with MUSLIMS and you have the monkeys from the west. You wanna be like them, be my guest.
Tamils and Tamil history doesn't need your protection. The Union of India will protect Tamils and Tamil history when threatened.
When a Tamil is in danger, Kannadigas, Telguites, Malayalees, Punjabis, Biharis, Bengalis etc will all unite to protect that Tamil. No issues there, this is said so by the constitution and will be carried out with full force. This was demonstrated to its full effect many times in the past, even in Sri Lanka. The only requirement is that this Tamil should be an Indian and not some random idiot from some random country who speaks the language.
