Jalikuttu or not, it is interesting how tamils threaten Separatism even at the drop of a hat! Are other indian states also like this? Does India have this problem with Bengal, Bihar, Punjab, Andhra?

I dont think you are right here, irrespective of Rajapaksa supports the protesters or not, the people there have genuine reasons to object it. A land area of 15000 acres is not a simple thing. That is like whole Colombo city. The plan to establish a investment zone was there since rajapaksa...

I am not knowledgeable that much on Indian history especially on their struggle to independence. My point was the notion that separatism started as a result of discriminatory policies is wrong. If separatism started way back in 1922 which was 26 years before the independence how can we say it...

My point is the notion that this is a post colonial consequence due to Sinhala discrimination is wrong. The separatism had arisen much much earlier even before that. If the demand for a separate Eelam came in 1922 that was 26 years before Sri Lanka gains independance and earlier than the so...

what is wrong with being friends with him? Gota is not Senadipathi's onl friend and he has friends in all political parties. He has given money for election for all parties. That is how things work. And it is not only Senadipathi, all businessmen in SL do that. If I am a high profile businessmen...

I dont know about the other Rajapaksas but I hardly think Gota plundered any wealth. He is an honest fellow. I went to see him with a couple of friends he lives in a humble house which belongs to his wife. He has no properties in SL. Avant Garde is an older company. And Gota is not charged for...
