Sri Lankan tourists sent back home

[Gibbs]

tamils do not attack anyone at all! Though I'm not a tamilian, I've lived there for several years and I have yet to see them have a SINGLE thing against any other Indian. In fact I feel quite embarassed when I look at tams who welcome mallus with open arms and praise that culture when within mallus there was a lot of disdian towards tams. If you're talking about issues between sinhalese and tams, that's because you don't know history. There was a time when tamilians were discriminated by sinhalese in sri lanka, including segregation, denial of education in school and jobs. This was not just a societal attitude but govt. policy. No matter how much sri lankans deny this, that was the true root of the rise of LTTE and associated collateral damage.

Again stop posting BS if you dont know indept about the subject..The Tamils that were disenfranchised in the 50's were the so called Indian Tamils or the Plantation Tamils that were bought to the island by the British in the 19th century as indentured labour for the tea industry..That had nothing to do with ethinic discrimination but nationalism..It was the SL Tamil leaders such as G G Ponnambalam and Chelvanayakan that instigated the process because they never accepted that community as thier own,And till to this date they dont..Later years this policy was reversed and thousands of Plantation Tamils were granted Lankan citizenship

The irony of all this is the Plantation Tamil community was never involved in the seperatist movement and always elected thier leaders aligned to the government

The reaction may be extreme but it is for their safety. God forbid if some untoward incident happened then the balme would come on Indian authorities that they did not do anything.

howcome India failed to provide security to sportspersons/tourists/singers/artists against extremist supporters of LTTE and are forcing these peace-spreading sections to go back since Indian govt can not provide security to them that too in peace time when there is NO terrorism going on

That's kind of ironic coming from you,A few years back Srilankans were greeted with AK 47 and Rocket launchers in Pakistan,Why did you fail to provide security to them then.No matter what the case,that kind of thing won't happen in Tamil Nadu.

Expect worse when Modi/BJP come into office.

A Modi/BJP victory will take Indian diplomacy back 50 years.

Developero, atleast know the political landscape and what is related to which before commenting.

This has nothing to do with Modi or BJP or any national party.

Its a solely Tamil Nadu specific phenomenon - hating the Sri Lankans.

No national party has endorsed the views of the Tamil parties, All the national parties have actively gone against what the tamil parties have demanded.

And nothing will change when BJP or Modi or even Martians come to power at the Center.

 

[Developereo]

Pray what has Modi/BJP to do with this.

Modi/BJP are running on the 'tough guy' image as non-negotiable protectors of Indian and Hindu interests.

Won't tolerate any tampering with Ram Setu: BJP - Times Of India

Hopefully when Modi comes to power he will send back 100% of Pakistani visitors and disallow any more new visitors. That way you get to enjoy your 'pure land' for all of eternity.

We hope, and believe, he will do that and more. Modi is the kind of guy that you lock up in the basement because, while he may be good at certain things, you don't want him running loose in polite company.

This has nothing to do with Modi or BJP or any national party.

What I commented above. Modi and BJP are playing the 'tough guy' protector of Indian/Hindu interests role.

The situation in Sri Lanka is a mix of ethnic and religious tensions.

Good thing then that we do not have 'polite company' in Indias Neighborhood. He would be perfect man to deal with paksitan. I think Modi will be Kick@$$.

No its not. Budhists are basically considered country cousins of Hindus or directly a subsect of Hinduism.

Look at your link above, it says and talks about Ram setu. This has nothing to do with Sri Lankan and Tamil ethnic politics.

Its not a religious issue at all. Its an ethnic issue. And that too a Tamil Nady specific ethnic issue. No national party would sacrifice national interests for this. And that is why BJP or Congress have both not taken a stand on it. At best Tamil parties are able to blackmail the Center to take a tough line on international declarations on Sri Lanka..and they are meaningless.

The real litmus test was when India ordered Indian Navy to hunt down the LTTE floating warehouses- all along Palk Strait and allowed LTTE to get destroyed.

The Ram Sethu issue has nothing to do with SriLanka, in fact the BJP is doing a favour for Srlanka by opposing it.

EU, Chinese leaders are quite comfortable with Modi and he was quite polite with them.

I already posted a link by a Sri Lankan author who explains the threat Sinhalese Buddhists feel from extremist Hinduism. While it may be politically expedient to whitewash this fact, the dynamics of the conflict are more complex than you stated.

As for LTTE, this has also been discussed before. Gov of India nurtured the LTTE for a long time. The ONLY reason GOI turned against the LTTE is because they were fomenting separatism amongst Tamils in Tamil Nadu. I have posted the evidence several times in previous threads. Feel free to search.

That's only because Mod doesn't feel that these countries pose a threat to Indian/Hindu interests.

And Modi was less than polite to the Chinese leadership. While their guest, he decided to lecture them on how to run their own foreign policy vis-a-vis Pakistan.

its actually more simple than you imagine..Except for a small group of Ambedkarites, Buddhists and Hindus get along fine. Our roots are interconnected

No the reason was assasination of RG for his IPKF saga. Feel free to ask a Tamil if you dont know.

Yet another batch of Sri Lankan Christian pilgrims are harassed in India.

Shameful. Of course the Indian government won't say a word.

Man when your navy killed 600 INDIAN fishermen in the last 5 years, at that TIME also INDIA did not say a word.
we have less police force when compared to the population of TN, we do not want a major incident involving SL in Tamil Nadu.
There are other states in INDIA where you can have a safe trip, but not in TN until we feel that you guys have done enough to make sure our fishermen are not attacked by your navy.

There was no big deal about Tamil nationalism because there is no big support from the majority of Tamils, India abandoned LTTE only because of RJ assasination

Not quite. As the Sri Lankan author explained, there is a long history, going back centuries, of conquests back and forth. Buddhism has been all but eradicated from the mainland, and Sri Lankan Buddhists feel they are last stronghold of that ancient faith in the southern subcontinent.

[Sashan]

it is natural for Srilankans(Sinhalese and Tamils are one people) to be closer to Tamil nadu. the Tamil nationalism propagated and nourished by various Dravidian parties are the reason why, today we see such reports. tamils attacking lankans, tamils attacking kannadiga,malyali etc .

GoI must interfere on TN state syllabus and reverse the brainwashing of "fake theory of Dravidianism and associated Tamil nationalism". today, Tamilnadu is seen as a aggressor against Karnatka or Kerala states. no offense intended.. but frank truth.

Maybe you need to look at other states and find out how they are contributing to the GDP of India and leave Tamilians alone as TN is doing more than enough in their contributions to the Indian Union. Different language speaking people have their own state and have their own affairs and each should mind their own bloody business.

Certainly.. why? because its told by Mr Walter Jayawardhana. and who he is, he is a Shingale and what their agenda is? make INDIANS feel threatened by the idea what if TN starts a armed struggle? and what they end up doing? we INDIANS care less for TN and its people and their interst.
Show me anuthentic proof where the LTTE have themself declared that they have an agenda in thier goals set to anex TN from INDIA. if not shut the pie hole
