By Charles.S.Perera<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Tamils came to Sri Lanka as plunderers, treasure hunters, \u00a0 and land grabbers. There were no Tamils in Sri Lanka when Venerable Arahat Mahinda came to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

To love a country and hold it as one\u2019s motherland one has to be born and bred with a great\u00a0 love and affection to the country into which one was born. If the Tamils talk of dividing the country to set up a separate State, could they be called patriots who love Sri Lanka as their motherland ?<\/p>\n

That love for the country comes from the\u00a0 religious and\u00a0 cultural characteristic instilled from the homeland environment. However much the Tamils try to rewrite\u00a0 the history \u00a0insulting the Sinhala for a Mahavamsa mindset, they cannot go behind the fact that Sri Lanka belonged to the Sinhala\u00a0 and the Tamils were mere adventurers, plunderers, treasure hunters, and land grabbers who came to\u00a0 Sri Lanka and later settled down . The Sinhala love Sri Lanka and would not allow it to be divided.<\/p>\n

A woman stole a baby from its mother and claimed it was hers.\u00a0 They were taken to King Solomon. As the kind could not decide\u00a0 who the true mother was he asked the\u00a0 baby\u00a0 be cut into two and divide the two parts between the two women. The woman who stole the baby agreed , but the other woman wailed asking the King not to cut the baby\u00a0 but give it to the other\u00a0 woman. The King knew the true mother and asked the baby to be given to her.<\/p>\n

Sinhala the true patriots of Sri Lanka\u00a0 will\u00a0 not allow Sri Lanka\u00a0 or any part of it handed over to the Tamils to allow them to \u00a0do whatever they want to do with it.<\/p>\n

Mahinda Rajapakse re-established Sri Lanka as a Unitary State after Ranil Wickramasinghe had given \u00a0parts of it to the terrorists under the infamous CFA.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranil Wickramasinghe is up to his old tricks again, this time\u00a0 (along with Chandrika the woman who proposed Prabhakaran the terrorists to take over the North to be ruled as\u00a0 he wants for ten years), to allow \u00a0North to \u00a0be governed as a separate Tamil territory by the \u00a0TNA and other Tamil extremists, with the consent of HIS President Sirisena.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Sri Lanka, even today the Sri Lanka Tamils have not changed that ancient mindset of the plundering Tamils who came from South India to plunder\u00a0 and devastate Sri Lanka and at the extreme settled down without any patriotic love for the place, wanting to make it like the place where they came from.<\/p>\n

It is the reason why the Tamils do not have a patriotic affection \u00a0to an undivided Sri Lanka as it should be if they for a moment consider it their\u00a0 motherland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even today they want Sri Lanka divided to satisfy their separatist Tamil ideology. They never worked for the protection and security of Sri Lanka, but instead continued to create danger and \u00a0insecurity.\u00a0 They showed no gratitude to the Sinhala who accepted them and made every effort to live with them as equals. The Sri Lanka Tamils have no sense of gratitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sinhala \u00a0with their inborn sense of \u00a0generosity and Buddhist love and compassion\u00a0 accepted the Tamils and made every effort to live with them as compatriots sharing their motherland \u00a0despite their difference . The Tamils never contribute to develop\u00a0 Sri Lanka, constantly taking care to preserve their Tamilness, separate from the Sinhala Community.\u00a0 However much the Tamil racists try to prove that they were a race that existed in Sri Lanka along with the Sinhala or before them, they have not found to date any evidence\u00a0 of such a presence.<\/p>\n

They had always tried to find excuses\u00a0 to\u00a0 emphasize their separateness without ever wanting to work together with the Sinhala\u00a0 as compatriots to develop and protect Sri Lanka. Unfortunately it is from these Tamils Sri Lanka need protection.<\/p>\n

In 1803 and 1804 invasions of the Kandyan provinces by the British, it was the \u00a0Sinhala who fought \u00a0against the invaders paying heavily for their \u00a0patriotism .\u00a0 After the British occupation in 1817 and 1830 it was again the Sinhala who rebelled against the colonial ruler.<\/p>\n

The British took over the land belonging to the Kandyan Sinhala people for the plantation of coffee depriving the dispossessed Sinhala from even working in these \u00a0plantations.<\/p>\n

The British instead hired Indian labour and brought large numbers of Indian Tamils to work in the coffee plantations, \u00a0and later after the coffee blight, in \u00a0tea plantation. After the rebellion\u00a0 of the 1830 the Kandyan peasants were stripped of land and made utterly poor and destitute.\u00a0 The rebellions against the colonial ruler; after \u00a0the Sinhala \u00a0leaders were\u00a0 crushed \u00a0by the colonial forces, were unsuccessful as\u00a0 it had been said by Colvin R de Silva that, the rebellions had leaders but no leadership \u201d.<\/p>\n

However, against the colonial presence, \u00a0or \u00a0against the terrorists, it had always been the Sinhala who rebelled, or sacrifice their lives to redeem the motherland .<\/p>\n

Even in the struggle for Independence it was a few Tamil leaders\u00a0 such as \u00a0Sir \u00a0Ponnambalam Ramanathan\u00a0 \u00a0and Sir Ponnambalam\u00a0 Arunachalam who were with the other predominantly Sinhala leaders.\u00a0 Even Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam later \u00a0broke away from the rest of the Sinhala leaders to form the Ceylon Tamil League.<\/p>\n

The Tamils wanted to be the\u00a0 majority along with the Sinhala and resisted being a minority community. It was due to that misguided concept that the Tamils in Sri Lanka did not contribute to make Sri Lanka a united nation of Sri Lankans.<\/p>\n

But the Sinhala now accused for chauvinism, Sinhala Supremacism, and anti Tamil racism had always accommodated the Tamils no matter \u00a0whether or not they joined hands with them to fight against the colonial rule or refused to be identified as Sri Lankans along side the Sinhala.<\/p>\n

It was hence no surprise the terrorists in Sri Lanka came from amoung the Tamils.\u00a0 The Tamil terrorists were loud and clear about their intention of\u00a0 separation from the Sinhala to set up a separate land of the Tamils.<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Tamils\u00a0 are not treated differently from the Sinhala.\u00a0 There are no privileges that the Sinhala enjoy\u00a0 different from those enjoyed by the Tamils. The two communities are treated equally in every respect.\u00a0 But yet they are not satisfied wanting to be a race apart claiming \u00a0a Tamil Land with their own administration.<\/p>\n

This ideology of separation is inborn undoubtedly due to a genetic\u00a0 psychological block\u00a0 caused by the presence of\u00a0 a sever inferiority complex.\u00a0 This is undoubtedly because of their Dravidian roots.\u00a0 The Dravidians were chased by\u00a0 superior invading Aryans until they found their niche-the hide out, in the southern most Indian continent- South India .<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Hence they cannot feel equal to the Sinhala despite their social status they have acquired through higher education, or wealth\u00a0 they have amassed in business and professional\u00a0 occupations. Not feeling equal to the Sinhala they want to be different by accentuating their Tamilness claiming even a territorial separation from the Sinhala.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A case in point is C.V.Vigneswaran, the present Chief Minister of the Northern Province.\u00a0 He was born in Colombo, educated in Kurunegala, Anuradhapura and Colombo. He had always been in the South with the Sinhala\u00a0 and worked in the south with the Sinhala.\u00a0 His two sons are married to Sinhala women.<\/p>\n

But today he is a rabid Tamil racist, demanding a separate territory for Tamils and accusing Government \u00a0Armed Forces , \u00a0having forgotten that if not for them there would never have been a North Provincial Council,\u00a0 and he would never have become the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n

Vigneswaran has forgotten that for \u00a0what he is today, he owes so much to the former President Mahinda Rajapakse,\u00a0 which debt he\u00a0 will never able to pay back\u00a0 in this life . But Vigneswaran being of\u00a0 Dravidian origin\u00a0 lacks that sense of human gratitude to say thank you to those who made him what he is today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These pseudo educated men who occupied respected profession are yet ignorant that in life what is more important is to possess\u00a0 that human nature \u2013the quality of\u00a0 being a human, which is above everything else.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This man Vigneshwaran is the worst of the Sri Lankan Tamils. He was right along a hypocrite living with the Sinhala , \u00a0growing up with them yet hiding his\u00a0 boiling racist anger against them, profiting from the\u00a0 goodness of his Sinhala colleagues at work, profiting from the friendly generosity of his\u00a0 Sinhala neighbours, eating and socialising with\u00a0 Sinhala relatives of his sons\u2019 wives, \u00a0wearing a\u00a0 mask of\u00a0 a good \u00a0gentlemen to hide his real face\u00a0 of \u00a0the rabid Tamil racist.<\/p>\n

How can one trust the Tamil who is your next door neighbour, occupying the desk next to you in office, or running a business along side you, when they are harbouring\u00a0 inside them the racist ideology of separateness, \u00a0taking care of\u00a0 their Tamilness.<\/p>\n

Are there still\u00a0 in Jaffna those Tamils who were held as human shields by the terrorists who risked their lives when the terrorists had planted their heavy artillery amoung them to shoot at the Armed Forces caring least for the danger to their human shield – those innocent Tamil men women and children ?<\/p>\n

Have those Tamils if they are still living in the north, and not suffering from amnesia,\u00a0 remember the humanitarian rescue operation (never attempted before by any armed force any where in the world- not \u00a0even by the armed forces of USA, the pseudo non violator of human rights) carried out by the soldiers of the armed forces to take them to safety ?\u00a0 Have not at least they\u00a0 the duty to show their gratitude for those armed forces by voting for the former President Mahinda Rajapakse ?<\/p>\n

Perhaps the 74,454 votes President Mahinda Rajapakse received from the Jaffna Electoral district at the Presidential Election on 8th<\/sup> Januaary, 2015 were the votes cast by some of them.<\/p>\n

After the elimination of the terrorists on the 18th<\/sup> May ,2009 Sri Lanka had every reason to be happy as the country was peaceful and security had been established . The Government\u00a0 of\u00a0 the President Mahinda Rajapakse had taken every precaution to avoid a resurgence of terrorism and country was progressing socially and economically. But only problem we had came from the Sri Lanka Tamils.<\/p>\n

The peace, and security and fast growing financial stability and development towards a bright and a prosperous future was not enough for the Sri Lanka Tamils , they want more they want their separateness established.\u00a0 And they continue to create trouble accusing\u00a0 the Sri Lanka government and invoking the enemies of Sri Lanka to destabilising the country making the President, the\u00a0\u00a0 Government, and the Armed Forces pay for eliminating their dear terrorists.<\/p>\n

These are the Sri Lanka Tamils with whom\u00a0 the USA insists that we should reconcile threatening to take\u00a0 the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka and\u00a0 the President Mahinda Rajapakse before a\u00a0 tribunal accused for war crimes.<\/p>\n

The reconciliation with Sri Lanka Tamils\u00a0 will never happen as the Sri Lanka Tamils\u00a0 do not want any reconciliation with the Sinhala, but they want a separate territory carved out for themselves.<\/p>\n

USA open your eyes. Enough of your interference, which continues since terrorism hampering the progress and development of the country. USA has succeeded in a regime change which has been for the worst.\u00a0 Sri Lanka Since the election of the new President has not stopped going back wards losing its sovereignty and getting poorer and soon to be dependent on USA and the West.<\/p>\n

That is what USA wanted.\u00a0 But the Sri Lankans at least the Sinhala Buddhists are not na\u00efve and we will not let USA and the West have their way. They will change the trend on the 18 August, 2015 even if USA, UK and India\u00a0 try their best to make Sri Lanka their dependent colony\u201d employing rhe CIA, the MI6 or the RAW.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lanka Muslim Community is the other side of the same coin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
