India’s relentless move to be a powerhouse in Asia to counter the growing sphere of influence wielded by China got a kick in the teeth by Tamil Nadu’s demeaning posture cuddling with separatist sentiments during the recent terror war in Sri Lanka.,, Tamil Nadu’s uninspiring poise often seemed to conflate its identity with narrow skewed ethnic interests that tend to diminish India’s enormous outreach,,, Tamil Nadu’s bigoted parochialism yanked the need for a cohesive front in that arena of international affairs, dampening India’s rise. ... Furthermore, the separatist liberation role foisted on Tamil Nadu by the Tigers was a clear usurpation of the Federal government’s sole constitutional authority over international affairs. It would be unthinkable even to talk of California, for example, dabbling in the internal political affairs of Canada across the northern border. That is taboo in a federal state.

Are the separatist sentiments that strong in TN? you gain very little with independent TamilDesh, TN will be a small country to the south of India.
No it's people like Kayal sitting in foreign lands and a few like Vaiko who harbor such thoughts. Tamils are very much part of Indian psyche. Integrated and all out destinies are intertwined.
I was willing to TEST MY STRENGTH in state assembly election. Indian gov would not permit me to contestr. What are the afraid? I woiuld sweep the election and show the world where Tamil voters stand?
Indian government knows who you are? There are thousands of patients in Indian mental asylums. Indian government doesn't give a damn about them. What makes you think they look at you differently?
Sweep the elections? Vaiko was reduced to sweeping Jail floors and not sweeping elections. No popular support.
i am not Vaiko. I never compromise on Tamil rights. People know me. Peoiple support me. Why do you think India is afraid of me? Why do you think they refused my application to contest state assembly election?
That article is written by a Sinhalese and his hatred of Tamilnadu is pretty evident, the question is why is Kayal posting a Sinhalese article?
The main problem is fishing dispute with lanka. Somehow politicans linked it to Eelam. That is why some coastal regions supports eelam tamils.
Every other tom-dick-harry befor becoming minister-mp-mla say same thing that " they do not comprises on issues , but after becoming minister-mla-mp" they comprise on everything.so how are u different
If I remember right, you were the one who "refused to sign the standard declaration that you would uphold the integrity of India", that is why your application was not processed. First act like an idiot, and then say that India is "afraid" of you!! Seriously, who are you?
Because India allowed every tom-dick-harry to contest elections but refused to allow me. That is they know I am not every tom-dick-harry. They don't hate Karunanidhi. They knew he could be boi=udght. They hate me because I am selflees. A few other Tamils India hated. Perunjchiththiranar, Tamilarasan, Rajaraman and of course the commander. The last three they killed. The first they kept in jail without trial for a long time. He died of sickness. I am alive and well. I will never compromise on Tamil rights. Its a promise. and India knows it.
Warren Buffett lost billions when the stock market went down. There is no way I will loose billions when stock markets crash. That's because I am smart and the world knows it. FYI: One needs to have something to be in a position to get compromised.
Why would I sign to something I do not agree? I have integrity. If I swear on something I stick by it. That is Tamil honour.
Give us a break, you are not Indian! Go fight your separatism somewhere else. We stand by the integrity of Union of India. You can't do a jack but cry on internet.
Why are you afraid to reveal your identity? If people are with you yin don't need pseudonyms Come out in the open and tell who you are, what you have supposedly done that made govt pee as you say. Till then, keep flying kites.
