We should not give in to TNA – the Slaves of Terrorism.
Posted on December 14th, 2011
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ By Charles.S.Perera
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Every means for a reconciliations of the Communities in Sri Lanka with a view to build a true Sri Lankan Nation should be investigate, leaving no stones unturned. But discussions for reconciliation should be with parties, groups or individuals who love Sri Lanka, patriots of it and would like to see it not broken up into different areas and territories to please Parties, groups or individuals who have no such love to Sri Lanka.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The persons who go to make up TNA are not Sri Lankans who accept Sri Lanka as their motherland, but they are promoting the dream of a maniac who died swearing to divide Sri Lanka and create a homeland for the Tamils. The TNA hold allegiance more to Tamil Nadu than to Sri Lanka. TNA does not accept Sri Lanka as their motherland.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Because, any one who claims that honour will not even dream of a separate homeland for one particular Community in Sri Lanka.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ TNA as a group of separatist Tamils claims impossible rights, such as devolution of police and land power and the merger of East and North of Sri Lanka into one Province. None of the Citizens of Sri Lanka from any Community will agree to such a proposal. When the maniac Prabhakaran was fighting to divide Sri Lanka the TNA was party to Prabhakaran, having been formed and brainwashed by him.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Then too, TNA claimed on the bidding of Prabhakaran a separate Homeland for the Tamils in the North and East, while the Sinhala youth were giving their lives to stop the Maniac Prabhakaran from dividing Sri Lanka.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Now that the Government of Sri Lanka with the sacrifice of large numbers of patriotic Sinhala Buddhist youth has eliminated terrorists and with them their idea of a Homeland for Tamils, and what makes TNA think that they would be given North and East for them on a platter to eventually make a Tamil Homeland of it to please only the TNA Goons and the TamilNadu Tamils.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Tamil Nadu has an expansionist agenda and they will secretly work for it forcing the hand of the Indian Central Government to assist them.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ TamilNadu is making TNA their “catƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s paw”. We see this already happening with Jayalalitha-Hillary Clinton get together, and the constant complains about the Sri Lanka Navy shooting at the Tamil Fishermen and reclaiming Katchativu as belonging to India.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is time to put TNA in their place, but the TNA appears to have collected enough “gas” with their constant consultation with India, visit to Canada, Australia and America to pop them selves as a powerful force, to destabilize Sri Lanka if the Government does not give into them.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is a pity that President Barrack ObamaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s America is trying to interfere into small Sri Lanka which is not in any way a threat to AmericaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s political stability or its leadership in world politics.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This undue interference of America into Sri Lanka is what may give new hope to “sleeping terrorists” who America and its European allies are prepared to accept as “rebels” not being a threat them.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ We have to step down on TNA which is a small time “terrorist group “ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with their unacceptable demands, which could anchor foreign vultures to vindicate their rights to divide Sri Lanka. UK is not a big force unable to do any thing on their own. They would not have even won the Second world war without America stepping to help them. UK has small “bugs” like the Channel 4 to do the dirty work to draw attention of the “big fish” to take over the dastardly attempts to destabilize and destroy developing nations.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ That was what Blair did by preparing false documents to get America to go to war with Iraq. Yet again that is what UK did along with France getting a vote passed in the UN Security council to protect air space, and got NATO to bomb, murder, and assassinate Colonel Gaddafi and destroy Libya.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ But America with its privilege of being the richest nation being compromised, attempts nevertheless, to maintain its power with their highly developed technology, fleet of frigates and destroyers, and the armed forces (AmericaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s solution for unemployment), when they can still help the struggle of developing Nations to come out of poverty and build independent respectable Nations.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is a pity that we have an American Ambassador Patricia Butenis who could not have taken a decision on her own, without being subservient to Robert Orris Blake , to have requested Barrack Obama to visit Sri Lanka to have a first hand opinion of this country, or demand Hillary Clinton who broke accepted diplomatic priviledges to meet Jayalalitha in TamilNadu, to visit to Sri Lanka as well to make American Foreign Policy seem more world friendly.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is the lack of this democratic outlook of Western Nations that make it difficult for the developing Nations to reconcile communities and build peace and security. They have become war mongering Nations intervening to settle disputes making rebels out of disidents, instead of creating stability through dialogue and encouraging the UN to be independent to take its own decisions to settle dispute in other countries.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Today the setting up of UNO has become meaningless as the Western Nations use the UN to promote their own agendas, interposing the NATO or the American Naval force to subjugate Nations. They did that in Libya, they are threatening to do so in Syria and in Iran.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ TNA MPs think that their being elected by the votes of the Tamils in the North and East have given them respectability to reclaim “the rights” that sank into Nadikadal along with the maniac terrorist Prabhakaran. But the Tamil votes at the local government elections have not washed them of the blood stains of terrorism. Therefore they have no right to make any claim on behalf of the Tamil people, specially because the “claims” of the terrorist Prabhakaran are not the ” rights” of the Tamil people.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ What the Tamil people want today is to live in peace, with respect and dignity, which they lost to terrorism. Therefore the claims of the TNA has no popular support in Sri Lanka. This fact has to be taken into consideration by the Ambassador Patricia Butenis to write cables, different from those cables detrimental to the Government of Sri Lanka she had been sending to the State department ( as they came out in Wikileaks ) , to describe to the President of America through the USA State Department the true face of TNA, and request the State Department not to intervene on behalf of them as Sri Lanka is not treating any Community differently from others.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Ambassador Patricia Butenis, owes it to Sri Lanka to emphasise to the American State Department that American intervention in any way by statements or through the interference by Senators or House Representatives will only be detrimental to the tremendous efforts the Government of Sri Lanka is making to reconcile the Communities for every one to live normal lives in peace.

Lets put this Non-Issue to rest once and for all…
There is no Official US policy towards Sri Lanka in favor of the TNA or the LTTE. In fact the USA has been a great ally in facilitating and aiding Sri Lanka in combating Terrorism. Don’t mistake the barkings of individual politicians pandering to their own LTTE sympathetic voter groups in the USA as official policy of the US Government towards Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka and the USA enjoy full amicable diplomatic relationships with each other. We cannot hold the US Government, which is a Liberal Democracy (just like ours), responsible for the noise making of individual politicians.
December 15th, 2011 at 1:59 am
As long as resources are available in Sri Lanka, humans, including Tamils from TN and imperialists will be interested in Sri Lanka. It is up to the Sinhalese to understand the real situation and protect their heritage and only home land. It is unlikely that we can defend our only homeland if we blindly follow Indian myths that even Indians have dumped. Fresh thinking is needed as gradually we have been loosing our living space.
December 15th, 2011 at 3:56 am
Thanks very much for exposing the hypocracy of TNA. They are trying to achieve which LTTE failed miserably. If these TNA politicians continue to emabarass Sri Lanka, a Sovereign nation, democratically elected many times over, try to disrupt & counter hardly earned freedom from terror.. TNA should be held accountable.
FIRST it must be made clear any political party or individual preaches sepaeration or have TAMIL or any cootation to federalism or seperation should be out lawed. Their MPs should take an OATH to promote Sri lankan culture, religion & our way of life. Evr instance something happens these TNA & some UNPs run to India or USA. Are they that stupid to realise that any Sri lankan be a tamil, Sinhalese , Muslim or other, approaching communities & governments of the Int. Community WILL NOT solve problems in Sri Lanka.
These problems should be discussed with the present Sri lankan Govt. and these TWO Govt. TNA & other Tamil represenation can iron out any problems WITHIN a UNITARY STATE. This has been clearly communicated to LTTE Diaspora, Tamils in general by AUSTRALIA, USA & UK with some reservations.
Its time that making unflattering remarks as ANTI SRI LANKAN as UNPATRIOTIC
and should be punishable by law. In the USA after 9/11 that Govt. introsuced patriot act and any one even mention giving any consideration to terrorists or their associated groups under different names, were punished.
It is time to call TNAs bluff and be strong in our convictions as we did DEFEATED the terrorist menace. Thanks again Sir for your valuable contribution.

The enemy is NOT USA, EU, etc.
The enemy ALWAYS was and will be Tamil nationalists. We should eliminate them cleverly.
India is doing its bit. We should not disturb India when it scrws Tamil nationalists.
Increasing the number of Tamil speakers is the MOST foolish thing we can do. We should instead have a very good secret service that can detect and whitevan ANY emerging Tamil nationalist as they CERTAINLY end up becoming terrorists.
Divide and rule is the other strategy. Divide them further according to caste, east, upcountry, etc. Pit TNA against TMVP, etc. Help the weaker one.
December 15th, 2011 at 6:17 am
Mr.Lorezo,
Tamils are already divided into many sections. LTTE supporters also divided into many groups
in western Coutries. Eventhough why is TNA strong only in the North?
Why Tamils who live in western countries will never settle in Northern Province speak about Tamileelam?
There are no enough factories to provide employments in the North.
Most of the Tamils want white colour Jobs.
Most of Tamils who live in the north depends on Foreign currency from Relations.
Educated youths want to emigrate western countries.
above said matters may apply to the Sinhala areas also
but noone can make politic benefits from such problem in the south.
Totally votes are from peoples whoes life are questionale.
They hope TNA will change the situation. But they cann´t
Even Tamil in the North have own State noone can stop them to come to
south for better life or emigrating in Overseas.
Work among Tamils in the north and in the western countries by SLG will bring a solution to peaceful
life for all in Sri Lanka.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:45 am
Lorenzo and Gamunu
Patrotisim is extremly important for All Srilankans whether Tamils sinhalese ,bergers or Muslims
You should also include the racists among the sinhalese to the elimination list from Lorenzo. There are racisits who talk write constantly against tamil, muslim races or against christianity and Islam . They should be eliminated along with those who still ask for separate Eelam .
I hope Lorenzo will agree
December 15th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Jimmy and Thurai,
Racists are a BIG threat to national security and MUST be eliminated.
The definition of a racist is someone who promote RACE as the central theme of power. One problem is there is some ambiguity in some racists. They pretend to be good people but promote racism from within.
The best way to identify them is look at their UNDENIABLE racist conduct.
e.g. Their demands – are they racist?
Their aspirations – are they racist?
Their neighbourhood – are they mono ethnic?
Their cooperation with security forces – are they cooperative or disruptive.
Sri Lankan nationalism is NOT racism. But Tamil/Sinhala/Muslim nationalism is racism.
When this is applied the following are racists.
1. TNA
2. TNA
3. TNA/ITAK
4. TULF
5. ACTC
6. TMVP
7. NSU (Nawa Sihala Urumaya)
8. SLMC
ALL these should be banned unless they change the name, conduct, demands and aspirations within 24 hours. The racist problem is resolved! If TNA is allowed to survive the racism problem will never be resolved.
December 15th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Thurai,
Facts don’t agree with you.
Look at ALL the elections in the north since 1947. Department of elections has the lists.
1947
1952
1956
1960
1960
1965
1970
1977
1982
1989
1994 was an exception because EPDP thugs (thugs are better than racists) did a good job.
2000
2001
2004
2010
They ALWAYS voted for RACIST political parties.
Now look at ALL the elections in Tamil Nadu (Tamil Homeland) since 1967.
ALWAYS Dravida racist parties won the election. Elsewhere in India, non-racist parties win.
So you can see it is a problem EMBEDDED into the Tamil mentality. It will NEVER change.
That is why the problem is Tamil nationalism (Tamil racism) which must be destroyed.
Just imagine a Sinhala United Liberation Front or a Sinhala National Alliance or a Ilankai Chingalam Arasu Kachchi or a All Ceylon Sinhala Congress winning in Sinhala majority areas? What do you think will happen?
Imagine they all get together in Vadakundi and pass a Vadakundi resolution to create the Chingalam Elam in Chingalam Homelands (the entire island) and FIGHT for it?
These things will NEVER happen because although ALL Tamil Nadu people and MOST northern Tamils of SL are hardcore racists, Sinhalese are not.
December 15th, 2011 at 1:56 pm
TNA is not a National political party. It is a partisan, race oriented political party. Non-National political parties should not be allowed in Lanka, by Law.
Parties such as the TNA feeds on the local Tamil votes plus votes of ILLEGAL MIGRANTS from Tamil Nadu, when these people are allowed to be citizens of Lanka. There are possibly hundreds of thousands of ILLEGAL TAMIL MIGRANTS in Sri Lanka. What do we do with these people ? It seems to me that Sri Lanka does NOT have a proper Citizenship policy in place. Lawmakers of Lanka, please correct this situation. It is time to safeguard the country properly. It is obvious now that we have not safeguarded the country properly since Independence.
P.S. : Why not use machines to pluck tea as done in other countries ? This will bring about less dependancy on Tamil labor.
December 15th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Lorenzo,
There is noone in the world without make a mistake in life.
The same apply also to the communities. As I am Tamil First I must point out the mistake what the Tamil politicians made. Never means all Sinhala politicians are perfect.
Northern Tamils and Tamilnadu Tamils are Racist when you see the election result.
If you see the life of Normal People of North and Tamilnadu you can realise the discriminations
within Tamils. We all Sri Lankans must unite ourself to expose the double face of those who cheat their
own community. There is no powerful unit among Tamils to fight against them.
You know how the LTTE controlled the Tamils all over the world. Tamils are under indirect Terrorism
and in Silence war. Tamil politicians cheat the Tamils by inciting them against Sinhalese and Northern
India. I hope the young Generation will understand the truth very soon.
December 15th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Thurai,
Thanks for the factual reply.
Fully agree politicians of all ethnic groups have their faults.
Those disgusting barbarians who carried toilet buckets with tar, etc. following SJV Chelvanayagam’s “GHANDIAN” (my foot) example belonged to many ethnic groups. Then the rioters are also criminals.
But no Sinhala political party produced politicians who were ALL RACISTS and racist ALL THE TIME. But ACTC, ITAK, TULF, TNA did that! All of them are racist all the time. Very very few exceptions are there that are negligible. Same goes for Tamil Nadu politicians. ALL of them are racist ALL the time.
But you are hoping against hope. They (northern Tamil voters not politicians) will NEVER EVER change.
At least you can bribe politicians. Government did bribe a few TNA politicians from the previous parliament. But voters cannot be bribed. Northern voters will FOREVER vote for racists.
However, it is only SOME Tamils of the entire community.
Upcountry Tamils. Colombo Tamils, some eastern Tamils and some mainly low caste Tamils in the north are NOT racists. Efforts are made through Mano Gonasen to inject racism into Colombo Tamils and Upcountry Tamils. This must be defeated.
It is the northern Tamil VOTERS who sustain TNA, TULF, ITAK, ACTC racism. Not the other way round.
Blaming politicians won’t do. People get the politicians they deserve and CHOOSE!! Only adults who are mentaly sound vote. Kids don’t vote, lunatics don’t vote. So the conclusion is MOST voters in the north of SL and Tamil Nadu are racists. This is the reality most of us don’t like to admit and find ways to avoid this PLAIN TRUTH.
We will not accept this truth because we don’t want to hurt anyone. But then we cannot understand why Tamil voters vote for ANIMALS and TERRORISTS all the time.
Since Tamil voters in the north will NEVER vote against Tamil racists, we have to find a PEACEFUL way to make them powerless. Settling non-Tamils in the north in large numbers is the solution.
Look what has happened to the TNA, ITAK, TULF, ACTC in the east! They have gone BUST. Why? Because DS Senanayake, JRJ, RP, etc, aggressively, against the wishes of Tamils, settled non-Tamils there. That is what should happen in the north.
If anyone is against Sinhala “colonization” of the north, he/she is a racist. Punish them, whitevan them, do whatever it takes to make their lives miserable so that they will disappear from this island.
Until then it is the same story over and over again.
Doing/allowing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is a LUNATIC.
December 15th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Now an even more FANTASTIC thing is happening.
Innocent, law abiding, gentle, well mannered, cultured, unarmed Tamil intellectuals (they are NOT terrorists) are petitioning TNA not to give up Tamil racism!!
So predictable. Like a clock.
Read the petition in Tamilnet. This is FURTHER evidence that Tamil voters/ prominent intellectuals are more racist than TNA.
Violence against the Tamil community is certainly not the answer. Only utter fools would do such a thing. That can destroy all the goodwill created so far which we use to divide and rule Tamils. If violence is used, the divisions will disappear. They will unite against others.
A peaceful way is needed to make their wishes, dreams, aspirations of living in a Tamil region/state/nation impossible. Settling non-Tamils in the north is the way to go.
December 15th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Just pray for Peace . Too much talk will not help any one
Pray pray and pray
God can move the mountain
Todays younger generation will unite the country the old folks could not do .for 60 years
I beg the honourable seniors to retire from politics please and let todays younger generation decide how to proceed
No more divisions , no more hatred no more pain no more sorrow
We all are Srilankans we should look after each other
l
I will pray before sleep every day for peace and unity in Srilanka and all around the World. It is the right for every one to live a happy life . Pray for world Peace
Bye
December 16th, 2011 at 2:04 am
Lorenzo,
I am in the position to give you more reasons for racism in the North. There was discriminations
among Tamils more than many 100 years. Because many communitiies within Tamils in North
had no chance to make their voice . Only well educated Tamils participated in the Politics.
This high level groups need power over Tamils and not against Sinhalese.
They have only one choice is to divide the country. Only for their power not for the wealthy of Tamils.
The wealthy (Education & Financial) of this politicians and their suppoerters behind racism and Terrorism.
We have to fight against them. It is not possible Tamils only fight against them. Because we must keep unity
within us.
In western countries situations are changing. Many Tamils understand the cheating
of Tamil politicians and their followers. For example some years ago someone was supporter of LTTE.
Now he says Our President safegurded Tamils in the north from Disaster . Reason is life of Tamils
not defends on Tamils politicians or LTTE in western countries.
Racism is fuel to the Terrorism. Terrorism need Racism. We have to handle the Northern Tamils
in another way. Some SL Tamils who live around the world profiting from Racism and Terrorism .They are awaiting
for the mistake of Sinhalese and the SLG. They want kilings of Tamils in Sri Lanka to profiting
from Diaspora Tamils. Such elements live in the south among Sinhalese and everywhere in safty.
December 16th, 2011 at 3:13 am
Well done jimmy too much talk wont take you anywhere. just do it all get together and pray for peace and stability in our beloved homeland. We are all one and we should stay as one in front of our enemies then only we can win over all the obstacles. Politicians ruin countries and ruin the lives of innocent people and they themselves enjoy their lives in palaces well secured and good food. We have to wake up and reject these racist politicinas and their parties and make good choices. Younger generation has more understanding of the reality on the ground and they know that Prabakaran and his stooges brought them nothing but misery. Visit North and East now and see the diffrence and make up your mind for yourself. No Government in the world has done so much since the war ends like this current Government. Young Tamil people will come to understand the truth gradually no mistake about that. We Sinhalese never harm anybody unless them harm us.
Jimmy is a Tamil I am a Sinhalese we both wants the same for all peoples to live happily and safegurd our beautiful homeland called SRI LANKA. I wish and pray this will happen in the future for all of us to live in PEACE.
December 16th, 2011 at 4:45 am
Jimmy,
Praying won’t do any good when barbarians believe in racism.
God wants us to destroy Tamil nationalists using violent methods. Full stop.
We love our enemy’s enemy. Not the enemy.
December 16th, 2011 at 5:01 am
Thurai,
I’m sorry to say, a load of crap!
The truth is MOST Tamils voters in the north are racists and that will not change.
There are NO excuses. We are TIRED of excuses, root causes, grievances and other BS. We are over it.
Its time for action. Use violence to destroy Tamil nationalism. Divide and rule. Uplift low caste Tamils AT THE EXPENSE OF up caste Tamils. Pit one group against the other and help the weaker one. NEVER disarm Tamil paramilitary guys. Use them to punish Tamil nationalists.
December 16th, 2011 at 5:49 am
Lorenzo,
Tamil Nationalist are always in safty life. Just 2 years after defeating the Terrorism in SL.
If you use Violence against Tamil nationalism, which reflect as Violence against Tamils by Existing propaganda
of LTTE. Such action disturb the work of persons who change the opinion towards SLG
of Tamils and Foreigners in western countries.
December 16th, 2011 at 6:59 am
How to bring Peace to Lanka :
* Use the Law or implement New Laws to govern all of the country.
* Outlaw ethnic based political parties.
* STOP all illegal migration. Make every District multi-ethnic.
There is no need for any violence. Use the LAW.
Go to the time tested basics. Meditate. Meditation is God/Truth/Allah speaking to us. Pray. Prayer is us talking to God/Truth/Allah.
December 16th, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Thurai,
NO!
1. Not all Tamils are Tamil nationalists. ONLY the northern Tamil community has a majority of Tamil nationalists. That is because they are the closest to Tamil Madu.
2. The number one enemy of low caste Tamils is Vellahla Tamils most of whom are Tamil nationalists. Low caste Tamils LOVE IT when their OPPRESSORS get hammered.
3. Pitting one group against the other will ALWAYS have some group with us. They have to be with us for protection, legal immunity, liberation from the caste system, etc.
4. Violence against Tamil nationalists ALWAYS worked. Nothing else worked.
You may not agree with me. In that case we should agree to disagree. If the guardians of unitary SL agree with me, that’s all I want.
December 16th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Fran,
Implementing the law without the use of violence won’t work for the following reasons.
1. The legal system is HIGHLY corrupt. There is nothing the government can do to reduce personal level corruption in the system. At most systematic corruption is all that can be reduced.
2. Tamil nationalists are very cunning. They know how to stay within the law and push their racism.
e.g. Tamil racists celebrated the terrorist day on November 27 by peaceful and legal means. It is still the promotion of violence.
e.g. Look at the petition Tamil racists have sent to TNA. It is well within the law. But it is the worst threat to SL since 2009.
e.g. The tar bucket campaign of SJV Chelva was within the law at that time. But how racist was that?
3. Implementation of the law is blocked by the international community to safeguard Tamil terrorists.
4. By the time the law gets to the criminals (only a certain percentage of criminals are actually punished, not all) they would have done the damage.
5. There are many Tamil nationalists. Too many for our prison system to handle. It is too costly and impractical.
That is why we need other means of handling these pieces of shitt.
December 16th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Fran,
“Go to the time tested basics. Meditate. Meditation is God/Truth/Allah speaking to us. Pray. Prayer is us talking to God/Truth/Allah.”
I can’t believe you say this kind of things.
How can the Tamil people in the north do that when Rayappu Joseph (Bishop of Mannar) and Scoundrelnayagam (bishop of Jaffna) are themselves terrorists!!
December 16th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Lorenzo,
//Tamil nationalists are very cunning. They know how to stay within the law and push their racism//
I agree with you. They are not dangerous only to SL but also to the whole world.
They are getting benefit from whole world by condemning the SLG. Tamil Racism blocked
the highways of western countries in 2009. Which action damaged the image of Sri Lankan
communities who live peacefully in western countries.
We are in the position to identify the Terrorist who live with us and escape cunnigly.
December 16th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Lorenzo,
We have to bypass bad Tamil leaders and go direct to the People, Tamil and others. I think the Individual has to take control.
The ordinary Tamil people just HAVE to look to others who treat them with respect & concern instead of blindly following poor leadership. There is no other way.
The only way an Individual can take control and manage emotions & thoughts i.e. think rationally, is through Meditation & Prayer. This is inbuilt into us all.
Meditation removes the inner discontent within which drives people crazy and causes war. The inner war causes the outer war. Violence begets violence and there has been too much of it in small Lanka.
GoSL has to pass anti-racist political party legislation. People should demand this of GoSL. Start a Petition to GoSL.
Pres.Roosevelt during troubled times of WWII told the people of America : ” make me do that which has to be done” – i.e. solve the problem. The American people told him what to do, and he did it, and saved the country ! We have to do the same. It is “we the People’ here too. That is real Democracy.
All trouble making Tamils (or others) should be imprisoned with hard labor.
December 16th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Thank you Ranjit
appreciate what you said
December 16th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Fran,
“We have to bypass bad Tamil leaders and go direct to the People, Tamil and others. I think the Individual has to take control.”
Why do you refuse to learn?
There are no “bad” Tamil leaders. They are ELECTED representatives. They are NOT the problem.
“go direct to the people”
It is the people in the north who ALWAYS voted for the MOST RACIST politicians. They (MOST Tamil voters in the north and the east) are the problem!
If you want to reach out to them, you have to beat TNA in Tamil racism. You have to come up with WORSE Tamil racist crap to beat them.
They NEVER blindly followed Tamil leaders.
e.g. GG Ponnambalam was the premier Tamil leader in 1947. But a WORSE racist emerged in 1952 – SJVC. Then people went after him!
e.g. Until 2001 Ananda Sangari was the TULF leader. It was the main Tamil political party. But then a WORSE racist party by the name TNA was formed and every one went after TNA!
They INTELLIGENTLY picked and chose the MOST RACIST of all Tamil leaders and voted them.
Now at last TNA has agreed to some compromise. Who is disrupting it now? Tamil OPINION LEADERS in the civil society!!!
Mark my word. If TNA agrees to a GENUINE compromise, TNA will be VOTED OUT by the people at the next election.
I like your Roosevelt example. He never used Meditation & Prayer as the main tool! Instead he used WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
December 16th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Thurai,
No disagreement.
Violence is a potent weapons but more importantly peaceful avenues should be explored that can destroy Tamil nationalist aspirations better.
e.g. High Security Zones, “colonization”, deportation of illegal immigrants, destruction of Tamil nationalist buildings, etc., ban racist political parties, ban racist demands (Tamil aspirations, Tamil homeland, etc.), implement the 6th amendment to the letter, use other non violent methods to destroy TNA, divide and rule, make life miserable for Tamil nationalists and force them to leave the island.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:50 am
Lorenzo
//There are no “bad” Tamil leaders. They are ELECTED representatives. They are NOT the problem./ /
Tamil politicians incite the Tamils against SLG and not Tamil community incite the leaders against
SLG. The political leadrers from north call themself as Tamil Leaders. It is suitable call them
political leaders of North. If they leave the word Tamil they are the enemies of unity and peace in Sri Lanka.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:57 am
I hope this comment will be not deleted.
The problem of Sri Lanka is not Tamils but the Sinhalese. But the cause is the Tamils and Indian interests.
Towards 1948 the Sinhalese were united and was lead by great people like DS, SWRD, Sir John, Kannangara, MD Banda, and Rajapaksa other true Sinhala leaders. The Tamil leaders were behind these people as Sinhalese , Moors, Burghers and Malays were United behind the united Sinhalese.
This unit only lasted till 1951 when SWRD left UNP to form his own SLFP and divided the unity among the Sinhalese.
This disunity lasted until 20059 when the Tamil terrorists were wiped out and the Sinhalese united again behind Rajapaksa and his leadership. This Sinhala unit did not last more than a month when Sarath Fonseka decuided to challenge Rajapaksa.
I ask the readres to think about these events and why did this happen and who were bihind these events.
and see why are the Sinhalese divided.
The only solution is to reclaim the freedom lost by Sinhalese. Let us follow Malasia and Singapore.
December 17th, 2011 at 3:06 am
Thurai,
No.
It is people who vote for RACISM.
Look at the Sinhalese, upcountry Tamils and most Muslims. Why don’t they vote for racist parties?
Why don’t they vote for Sihala Urumaya, Sinhalaye Maha Sammatha Bumiputera Party, etc.?
Why did SWRD Bandaranayaka had to give up his Sinhala Maha Sabha and join inclusive multi ethnic political parties?
That is because Sinhalese have ALWAYS rejected racist political parties.
Tamils unfortunately ALWAYS vote for racist political parties. That is the problem. The politicians are SELECTED by the people!! If I were a voter in Trincomalee I would NEVER vote that Sambandan terrorist. If I were in Jaffna I would never vote for that Sumanthiran racist piece of shitt. Who vote for them? Tamil people in the north!
If Tamil people in the north tell them to F-OFF, that is the end of these racist politicians and their racist political parties. But they never will.

Kit,
I agree. It was his power hunger that led him to break away the Sinhala vote which is a crime. Fully agree that it is better to be like Malaysia or Singapore where the majority is UNDIVIDED.

Lorenzo,
The Tamil politicians who try to divide Sri Lanka and rule on the cost of Tamil´ life. Their only weapon is Tamil
language. Only some elected members say they are representing the Tamils of whole Sri Lanka. Some Tamils
in western countries Formed World Tamil Forum (WTF) under Rev.father Immanuel (Representative of LTTE).
Is it possible to accept themand blame all Tamil community?
Terrorism not defeated. Terrorism live with different faces and activities.
LTTE safegurded themself by innocent people in Mulivaikkal.
Now Tamils from Northern in the net of Terrorism.

Lorenzo,
Here are my views. Pardon me, but I have to digress from the main topic of the TNA here in order to look at the total picture.
* Tamils and all Others in Lanka (and Tamil Nadu) are looking for inner peace & ‘upward mobility’ through education and jobs. Thurai is right : he says that Tamils are looking for white collar jobs. So is everyone else. Manual Labor would have to be well paid in order to attract people to do this kind of work. Let us NOT let illegal migration happen to fill in labor needs. We have not yet come up with robots who serve mankind in all the manual work (see film with Robin Williams in ‘Bicentennial Man’).
Also, safe & renewable sources of Energy must be tapped from nature using wind, solar etc. New technologies to use this Energy must be created. That is why Sc&Tech must be taught in Lanka, even to Buddhist priests. Imagine cooling all Lanka homes & buildings using solar power ! This way everyone benefits.
* Lots of exposure of all the negative factors (poor leadership etc. North & South), in our society in Lanka has already happened. Keep at it till it stops or at least slows down to handleable levels.
* Meditation & Prayer (M&P) is the only way the Individual feels empowered, well & happy even in a hopeless & powerless situation, even in natural death. Believe me, I have seen wonders happen in cases of northern & southern Tamils who have willingly practiced M&P, plus many Sinhalas too. Self respect happens and that is what is needed to break the Caste/Class gridlock. The only drawback is that it has to be done willingly and no one can force M&P on anyone. But once a person realises the potential of M&P, he/she will spread the word and thousands, may be millions, will benefit.
* Pres. Roosevelt was fortunate that virtually the whole of America was with him. He did not need M&P as the people were united to solve the problems ! If we are to achieve the same, we have to have the same kind of unity. Petition the GoSL with MILLIONS of signatures to do away with Ethnic based Political parties, which is the 2nd Root Cause of the troubles, the first being Caste/Class. Send/post the Petitions direct to the Parliament via the Speaker. Lanka is a Democracy, and the govt. (any govt.) will HAVE to give in to our demands. Lankans have yet to realise the true potential of Democracy.
* Say NO to all Violence. Violence begets Violence.

Lorenzo,
I am referring to Pres. Roosevelt’s Social Security program, not the WMDs. It was his outstanding Social Programs that needed the push from the public, not the engagement in WWII.
Herewith an extract from the net on the good President :
“President Franklin D. Roosevelt managed to pull Americans out of the Great Depression and lead them to victory in World War II. His support of an active federal government shaped American politics through the remainder of the 20th century. FDR was a Democrat, and his package of federally-supported PUBLIC WORKS and SOCIAL PROGRAMS was known collectively as the New Deal. Roosevelt was so popular he was elected four times — a lengthy run which led to the passage of the 22nd Amendment, restricting presidents to two terms. He died in office only a few months into his fourth term”.

Lorenzo,
Please bear with me. There is one more point I would like to refer to.
The point you have raised “How can the Tamil people in the north do that when Rayappu Joseph (Bishop of Mannar) and Scoundrelnayagam (bishop of Jaffna) are themselves terrorists!!
This is the very reason why Tamil people of the North must break free of past conditioning and go to the higher teachings of the Hindu religion. Raj Yoga (the most important of the 4 great Hindu Yogas) teaches meditation.
They could also approach the Buddhist Temples/priests to learn Meditation.
Buddhist Temples ought to prepare for this and reach out to them.
Alternatively, Tamils of the North should seek a teacher/guru outside the mainstream to learn Meditation.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Thurai,
We have to agree to disagree.
I am totally convinced that the problem is VOTERS OF TAMIL RACIST parties continuously since 1947 – ACTC, ITAK, TULF, TNA. Making their lives miserable by whatever means and changing the ethnic composition of the north are the solutions.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Fran,
So you accept it is not the politicians per se but the caste ridden Tamil society that is the problem. But you find a funny solution – meditation and prayer!
That cannot change anything. Tamil nationalism is BOILING in Tamil Madu and through blood relatives, movies, songs, printed matter, traditions, contemporary beliefs/fashions, illegal immigrants, etc. it always reaches SL Tamils – especially those in the north.
This influence is way more than meditation and prayer.
Also meditation and prayer WITHIN the caste concious Hindu religion will only throw them to the fire from the pan!
They will have to break WORLD RECORDS to achieve this inner peace, etc.because the whole world is moving away from meditation, prayer and inner peace! You are relying on a VERY REMOTE EXCEPTION that is VERY UNLIKELY to happen for national security, peace, etc.
December 17th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Fran,
Re: Roosevelt
The two are connected! He would have lost all that had he blundered in the WW. He launched the MOST VIOLENT military campaign that was ever undertaken by humanity!
Violence DOES work.
Another example (in addition to Roosevelt) is SL.
2 insurgencies and one massive war came to end with peace thanks to us using extreme violence. Possibly millions of kilograms of bombs were dropped on Vanni, etc., multi barrel rocket launches were singing in ecstasy, dead terrorists were stacked up by the roadside in thousands in Kilinochchi, etc. That’s how we won peace. Never be ungrateful to these killing machines and the methods that brought us peace. We certainly will need them again.
In the meantime we have to direct violence where it is appropriate to eliminate Tamil nationalists. It is a more efficient, practical, cost effective, relevant than meditation and prayer.
But we should popularise meditation and prayer for a better spiritual society.
December 17th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Lorenzo,
Like we have two legs , Human life also have two foundations. One is religion other is Politic.
Both are showing us different ways. By religion we can win the heart of persons without
violence. Politicians win the hearts by brain washing or violence. Which is permanent?
In the modern world we need a permanent solution only.
December 18th, 2011 at 7:12 am
Lorenzo,
I am compelled to agree with Thurai. We, i.e. Lanka and other Indian states that are in relative peace, must take the Meditation & Prayer to Tamil Nadu which is the source of discontentment, and troubled Hearts & minds.
War is for peace is ok, as done by Pres. Roosevelt. The last war in Sri Lanka was also a just war, like WW II. WWI & II were fought only among Christian countries. They too need to practice Meditation & Prayer. This is the true Core Teachings of all religions.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:13 am
Re Tamil Nationalists in Lanka : they get their cue from some Tamil Nadu leaders, some church leaders in Lanka and some political figures in Lanka. If the people of Tamil Nadu & Tamils of Lanka find a more peaceful way of living there without creating trouble for all of Lanka, then they will surely turn to that method and the dissenting troublemakers in Tamil Nadu & Lanka re Lanka will find themselves without a job !
That said, we must always have our armed forces ready, plus methods to stop all illegal migrants into Lanka. Legal migration into Lanka must be looked at minutely and new Laws implemented if necessary to safeguard the nation.
Labor for blue collar work must be found from within Lanka through better pay to attract all sectors of society, especially for tea plucking. I am surprised that tea plucking machines have not been used here.
December 18th, 2011 at 8:36 am
Lorenzo & thurai,
In addition to what Andare says, I like to add that I agree with you, Lorenzo, about Tamil political parties being ethnic. That has to be stopped. As I said earlier, we have to send PETITIONS, MILLIONS OF THEM, TO THE SPEAKER TO PRESENT TO GOSL, SO THAT GOSL IS COMPELLED TO PASS LAWS TO OUTLAW ETHNIC BASED POLITICAL PARTIES.
December 18th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
TULF incited Tamil youths against Late Duraiyappa who was supporter of SLG. Durayappa was killed and
police searched for murderes. Youth started killing Police officers also (Late inspector Bastiampiila and
other officers.) Racist started killing Tamils who were against Tamil Racism in the Northern.
Such incidents were the start of Terrorism in Sri Lanka.
At the moment South is safegurded from Terrorsim but in the north some Racist mind not changed.
We all have resposibility to work aginst such elements who disturb the whole world now.
December 18th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Lets agree to disagree.
It is a FACT that MOST Tamil voters in northern SL have ALWAYS been racists. Election results from 1947 onwards can’t be false!
You cannot change this FACT. And Tamil Nadu Tamils will NEVER give up their dream, aspiration, grievance, etc. of getting a Tamil NATION. And they will always channel it through the fools in SL as they cannot do it themselves.
If you chose not to accept it, fine. But the facts remain so.
Meditation and prayer can resolve some problems but certainly NOT the problem of Tamil Nationalism. We have to use TARGETED violence (among other methods) to handle it.
December 18th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Andare,
“War is for peace is ok.”
Sure. But we cannot be REACTIVE.
We have to be proactive. War to maintain peace and eliminate threats to peace is also ok. War comes in many forms.
e.g. counter insurgency operations.
December 19th, 2011 at 1:42 am
Lorenz,
I agree with you for counter insurgency operatios.
We need a patrotic front from all communities in Sri Lanka.
Tamils don´t live in the north only. TNA has no right to say we are the representative of all Tamil in Sri Lanka.
Today is History of Tomorrow. We must do better things for propectus future of Sri Lanka.
December 19th, 2011 at 6:14 am
Lorenzo & thurai :
We agree with you that Counter Insurgency operations are absolutely necessary. We thought that was a foregone conclusion after experiencing three uprisings in the country. However, it is also necessary to correctly identify and rectify the imbalances that caused the insurgencies, in order to bring lasting peace for us all.
We also think that Meditation & Prayer really helps for those of us who feel that this too necessary to calm ourselves and see the godhead within us all, and thereby bring in a sense of unity & acceptance from a deep, unshakeable level within.
I think I was one of the very first writers to these columns who pointed out the danger of Tamil Nadu politics, their caste/poverty issues, etc. So, I agree with you that :
“You cannot change this FACT. And Tamil Nadu Tamils will NEVER give up their dream, aspiration, grievance, etc. of getting a Tamil NATION. And they will always channel it through the fools in SL as they cannot do it themselves”.
They are targeting Sri Lanka because it is small enough to handle unlike the states adjoining Tamil Nadu, and Lanka has a diverse population with a laid back Sinhala population who tends to fight back the wrong way. That is why
* it is imperative that we do not bring in more Tamil Nadu low caste poor as labor into this country, The Tea Industry will have to modernise itself and bring in tea plucking machines and also employ other ethnicities to do the work, and also
* stop all illegal migration whilst having stringent laws to govern migration into Lanka from any quarter.
I think I have said all I have to say, but repetition of these truisms may be necessary by us all for the benefit of new readers, for emphasis and removal of confusion.
We thank you both.
