The Solution Tamil Nadu can offer India and Sri Lanka
Posted on March 27th, 2013
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Shenali Waduge
We feel for Jayalalitha, Karunanidhi, and a handful of other not so popular Tamil Nadu politicians who can gain fame only in protesting against sovereign nations. Their misery and anguish have dragged on for too long. At 80, the former Chief Minister should not have to subject himself to fasts. The ugly competition between the present and former Chief Minister is not healthy for the entire state of Tamil Nadu. Precious time and energy is lost on issues and money spent on posters related to a sovereign nation when there is much to be done in Tamil Nadu. There is a way to come out of the woods. The solution is to offer citizenship in India and to reside in Tamil Nadu to ALL Tamils in Sri Lanka who also feels that the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Sinhalese chauvinistic Government discriminates against Sri Lankan TamilsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚. The Tamils in Sri Lanka can be given a choice and that would solve a matter that is unnecessarily causing friction between 2 nations and their people.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The issue of Tamils is the one and only factor that binds Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Government to India and is keeping bilateral relations at a deadlock in view of Tamil Nadu ranting. ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ For too long the issue of ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-rightsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-dignityƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-respectƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ blah blah blah have been the cornerstone of diplomatic statements issued from India accusing Sri Lanka that it is not doing enough for the Sri Lankan Tamils. These unfair accusations are humiliating an entire nation internationally. We would have loved to see these same statements appear during the last 30 years directed to LTTE from India along the same lines. Now everyone is in competition with the other on who issues the most strongly worded condemnation letters to the President of Sri Lanka and the prize is sponsored by the West.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This charade cannot continue year after year. It is now affecting non-political areas like education, sports, tourism and religion as well creating unwanted tensions.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ When Tamil Nadu says they are concerned about their brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka in view of their origins from Tamil Nadu we should not ignore this. Unfortunately, the brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka do not hold placards in protest for issues in Tamil Nadu. Be that as it may the bottom line is that no one should come between these filial bonds.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ For far too long we have been running around something called ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-political solutionƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ like a dog running behind its tail ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” some do catch it but most donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t. We are in the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-most donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢tƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ category. What if the dog didnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t have a tail!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Political solutions are meant to benefit only Governments in power. Years of blabbering ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-political solutionsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ needs to look at things practically and what directly suits the people concerned. To solve that the only solution is to take into consideration the main factor ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” The Tamils and what would help them live in peace without any discrimination. Tamil Nadu offers that choice.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ If India is not going to give a Homeland and neither will Sri Lanka agree to a separation of its country those Tamils that feel imprisoned to live in Sri Lanka should by all accounts be given a choice. No one should live in a country that he/she abhors. That is not democracy.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is a perfect time for India and in particular Tamil Nadu that has managed to uproot DelhiƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s role on the international arena to be magnanimous and offer citizenship to ALL the Sri Lankan Tamils who detest living in Sri Lanka among ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-chauvinist Sinhalese Buddhist GovernmentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ so that they may go and live in India and as tourists they would always be welcome to come to Sri Lanka. With this solution offered we can put to rest all ill will though we believe those who sincerely love Sri Lanka enough to want to remain Sri Lankan will finally make their voice heard.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This offer of citizenship will certainly break the deadlock and the Sri Lankan Tamils that remain will live as Sri Lanka going through all of the ups and downs that all citizens go through whilst those Sri Lankan Tamils that hate to call themselves Sri Lankan can live happily in Tamil Nadu and that offer must also be extended to the Sri Lankan Tamil politicians as well and perhaps all others who detest living in Sri Lanka.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The solution offered will help all issues that are in stalemate and break the deadlock that currently exists.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Bilateral relations between India and Sri Lanka can then be pursued without Tamil Nadu ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” as there is a saying that twoƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s company and threes a crowd.

….or just like Cuba did, all disgruntled Sri Lankans can be sent to Tamil Nadu for a better life.

Yes, we agree with Shenali. Tamil Nadu can create Eelam at the foothills of the Nilgiri Mts. We heard that some refugees already live there.
It is indeed sad that Tamil Leaders’ Separatists ideas have spoilt life for the Sri Lankan Tamils.
The Tamils who opt to live on in Sri Lanka are welcome to do so, sans their Separatist Tamil Politicians. Join us in humanity, be human beings with the rest of us Lankans, be well & happy, Tamils who opt to live with us !
Shenali, may be a Referendum should be done in Sri Lanka to find out who wants to live here and who wants out.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Read between the lines. What TN says is THEY (TN) want independence after Tamils around the world pass it in a funny TAMIL-ONLY referendum.
My grandparents used to say if one monk wants some food (e.g. chicken) in an alms giving, he would tell the food serving layman to give a piece of chicken to the next monk. Then the layman GETS THE MESSAGE and serves both of them. No dispect to anyone (other than TNs).

“It is a perfect time for India and in particular Tamil Nadu that has managed to uproot Delhi’s role on the international arena to be magnanimous and offer citizenship to ALL the Sri Lankan Tamils who detest living in Sri Lanka among “chauvinist Sinhalese Buddhist Government” so that they may go and live in India and as tourists they would always be welcome to come to Sri Lanka.”
For this to happen VOLUNTARILY, we have to ENCOURAGE them. How?
By more and more doing “chauvinist Sinhalese Buddhist Government” acts.
e.g.
“Chingala colonization”
Chingala ONLY – this is the best way to STOP TN illegals and encourage Tamil-only racists out of the country. It also forces other Tamils to become Sinhalese.
Standardization
Disenfranchisement of traitors
What Tamilnet calls “structural genocide”
What Tamilnet calls “deliberately sending elephants after Tamils”
GOSL should start separate diplomatic relations with TN.
Invite India to relocate the TN nuclear plant to Jaffna.
Invite more and more TN fishermen to come to Mannar and Jaffna and fish. No fish for SL Tamils, they will be forced to relocate to TN.
Ban TN films and teledramas. I tell you, SL Tamils CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEM.

let the government conduct a survey in the North and east if needed in colombo and upcountry, to find out how many tamils really wants to leave Sri Lanka. irrespective of the number let them be asked to give the Citizenship in Tamilnadu or any other country. then the remaining to be considered genuine tamils those wants to live in a peaceful country should bring a statement to the world that they are happy with the living condition in Sri Lanka.

K’naidhi must be very happy that Tamils of Lanka are addicted to Tamil films & teledramas. Thrice married K’naidhi’s entire large clan deals mainly in politics and film industry. Apart from the fish grab, Sri Lanka must be economically important to Tamil Nadu …..

Tigers
the easiest way for u to have a home land is to kill karunanidhi and jayalalitha and promise tamilnadu people a seperate sovereign tamil country.
All the ignorant tamil movie goers will rally round u. just kill one of them and see what happens
Show your colours Tigers. sinhalese will vote for you in u.n.o for your rights to divide india.NO TIME TO WASTE

The solution proposed by Shenali Waduge was always available to Sri Lankan Tamils. Those who think Tamil Nadu is real home, mothers womb or promised land should take next plane or boat to Chennai. Those who are open to a multi cultural, plural society like Sri Lanka should cherish her, defend Sri Lanka at least by words. Please speak up…

Idi Amin didnt build houses for Indians like you. He kicked Indian parasites out of his country. We definitely dont have an Idi Amin modeya.
