Hon Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu State

Kanthar Balanathan, Melbourne, Australia
Your Honour,
A report of work done in Sri Lanka after the defeat of the LTTE is sent for your kind reading. This report will explain the rebuilding efforts, developments and peace process achieved by SriLanka after the defeat of the LTTE. LTTEƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s despotic, power-hungry mind need not be explained to your honour, as you are aware of the terror group.
India and Tamil Nadu gave full support to GOSL during the war on terror. During this period the Tamil Nadu people were extremely soundless, noiseless, quiet, and quite supportive on war on terror except a few radicals like Vaiko, Nedumaran, and others. In fact Nedumaran was fervently publicizing that the LTTE head was still alive. This was a blunt lie. For a politician of this age, how is it possible to promulgate lie of this nature?
The current situation in Tamil Nadu is disgraceful, shocking and appalling.
- Self-immolation of poor peasants. Is this act a collateral effort by some politicians to parade to the world of the blunt lies?
- Students go on hunger strike.
- Blocking airport facility.
- Rowdiness and thuggery act at the SriLankan airline offices.
- Beating of Buddhist clergy in Tanjore and other places.
There are significant rowdiness acts performed by Tamil Nadu people in the name of Elam. Does this indicate their cultural personality or interactive outline of Hinduism? Well, I am a Hindu, but often ask myself as to why our gods depict weapons in their hand?
In the year 2012, the Chennai Law College students beat to death a number of Dalit students, while the Police were watching. Dalit people are being beaten and raped. Dalit people are beaten to death on roads if they ask for increase in wages. Children are engaged in dangerous work for cheap labour. They are deprived of education.
It is stated in media that Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss of PMK, belongs to Vanniyar caste, which is a backward caste in Tamil Nadu.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss vigorously opposes inter-caste marriage. Can we consider him to be a just politician or a racial, caste oriented comedian who lives in the 2nd century. There are supposed to be over 132 castes in Tamil Nadu. Who are these people? Do they belong to different racial group? If so, then why do they identify themselves as Tamils?
Quote from (i) India Today: ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Even political parties that are against caste system are under pressure today to do politics by keeping caste calculations in mind. Read more at:http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pmk-founder-s-ramadoss-caste-cauldron-anti-dalit-inter-caste-marriages/1/237039.htmlƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. (ii) The Hindu: Marking the formal emergence of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in Tamil Nadu, Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder S. Ramadoss on Sunday brought together groups belonging to intermediate castes to hit out at sections of the Scheduled Castes and demand dilution of the law aimed at curbing anti-Dalit atrocities. Ref: http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/ramadoss-consolidates-intermediate-caste-groups-against-dalits/article4156999.ece.
The importance of bringing this theme is to emphasize that such a comedian, is shedding crocodile tears for SriLankan Tamils, advocating for a state called Tamil Elam. It is disappointing to note the shortfall of intellectual capacity of this person. He cannot satisfy his own countrymen to maintain justice, however, is interested in the affairs of other countries. Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss should mind his own business and should not engage in activities that are over his intellectual capacity.
Total Human Right Violations are practiced against DalitƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s and low caste people in India. Well, one might consider that they are the sons and daughters of the Indian soil. ArenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t they, While others are trotters and intruders who invaded and settled over centuries. Where do we demarcate justice, your honour?
It is no different in the North & East in SriLanka. Caste oppression and HR violations in the N&E are in place.
Every ethnic person in Tamil Nadu identifies first as (i) Indian and then (ii) Tamil. ThatƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s the way we Tamils in SriLanka want to live. Firstly we are SriLankan and then secondly, we are SriLankan. Tamils in SriLanka are quite happy to identify as SriLankan.
The SriLankan situation is blown up and exploited by the Tamil Nadu politicians for their own political needs. It is the external forces that are trying to destabilise SriLanka.
As far as Mr. Karunanithi is concerned, the accumulated wealth has granted power to his family. Quite often, Mr.Karunanithi dreams and spits out, which are hypothetical.
It is quite important to monitor your TN affairs, because the current turmoil in the various parts of TN may converge, redirect and align towards the center (Delhi) demanding for separate state called ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Tamil NaduƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. What then your honour? Terrorism will creep into TN. Most politicians will become accomplices to this turbulence and mayhem. TN has experience and is matured with terrorism. India trained and supplied arms to LTTE, which is the most inhumane and criminal act. India has war fronts (terrorism) in the North, East, West, but free in the South. May be with the above convergence, India will lock in with terrorism in the South.
Another important question is: who is behind this turmoil? DMK, AIADMK, MDMK, Delhi or who? What diplomatic goal do they want to achieve? Who is funding these acts? Is it LTTE rumps or Indian politics?
Recently, Buddhist clergy were assaulted and man handled in TN. What sort of cowardly act can this be interpreted as? Buddhist clergy are non-violent people on this planet. They do not pour hot water on the ground to save insects.
What deliberation has the government of Tamil Nadu taken for all acts stated above? Are TN politicians and people drenched with numerical superiority of the 70 million people, rather understanding the sovereignty of nations?
It is a request that your government should educate politicians in TN on HR violations. Treat your own citizens and visitors with dignity and respect. Eliminate bribery and corruption. Provide education to all people with no difference in cast, creed or religion.
Just leave us alone. SriLanka has all the intellectuals and resources to manage its own affairs. Educate your own people please.
Just because of the 70 million people across the North of SL, in Tamil Nadu, 1.5 million people in SL cannot have autonomous power or a separate state, as the island belongs to SriLanka, one nation, one country. If we, Tamils are not happy in SL, then we should be allowed to move into Tamil Nadu to become Indians. IsnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t that a good idea? May be India will address this worthy contemplation.
Well, if this is allowed, you can be absolutely sure that NO Tamil from SriLanka will want to go and settle in Tamil Nadu or any part in India for that matter. ThatƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s how Tamils feel about TN.
Finally, we love INDIA, but we do not want INDIA to interfere into another countryƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s sovereignty.

– Another BRILLIANT piece of wisdom from Mr Balanathan. I wish Tamils would select people of this calibre as their leaders.

Our many thanks to Mr Kanthar Balanathan for this truthful exposure.
We wish ALL Tamil people were like him – honest and appreciative of Lanka’s efforts to help SL Tamils and truthful about poor politics in Tamil Nadu’s Caste ridden society.
Mr Balanathan should form a political party in Sri Lanka and offer solace & solutions to the lost Tamil population of Lanka following blind politics of Tamil Nadu with the TNA.
Question : Why did Tamil Nadu leaders turn down the offer to hold the Asian Games in TN ? It would have been a good chance to Modernise the whole area and erase some of the caste bound work such as ‘night soil carrying’ by some 95,000 Tamils employed by the State govt. there. In TN, don’t Tamil leaders care about the happiness of their own people ?

The govt should invite kanthar to come to srilanka and give a series of lectures- specialy addressing to ordinary tamils–. Then the govt can organise few debates with him and wikramabahu, ravi k or jayalath j etc…
