Sri Lanka's so called "Tamil issue"

[Skyline]

Okay, let's start.
I'm so bored with longer comments so if you have any question please ask in short, I'll answer it in short.

Sri Lanka

is an Island nation south east to the Indian subcontinent.

South Asia has two island nations which are not part of Indian subcontinent (dirty subcontinent lol just kidding) so sweet Sri Lanka is one of it. Other one is super sweet Maldives.

Sri Lanka is 65,610 Km in size, some say tiny but it's a medium sized country in the world. There are so powerful countries smaller than us and also there is so bigger countries which is weaker than us in this world.

Sri Lanka has 9 provinces and 25 districts. sweetest area is hill capital.

Sri Lanka has over 300+ waterfalls and over 100+ rivers and Sri Lanka is a Biodiversity hotspot in the world. It's so Greeeeeeeeeen in here.

Sri Lanka has a 65 billion economy and it's world's 68th economy. (GDP per capita US$ 3200)
Sri Lanka + Sri Lanka + Sri Lanka = New Zeland economy

Sri Lanka's population is 20 million. (some says small but I feel annoying when walking in some cities, I hate to see too many people around me when roaming in the city streets.)

oh forget to tell, Sri Lanka is the only country in south asia which has higher HDI rank. so don't argue about living standards...see the gap guys! we are clearly enjoying wealthiest standards in the region.

Sri Lanka has two capitals. I know most of them knows about COLOMBO but our actual capital is SRI JAYAWARDANAPURA KOTTE. (Colombo is commercial capital)


before I move on to next part, do you have any questions so far?

Why are journalists being hounded in Sri Lanka?
Does the govt still believe a cover-up is possible?
What is the impact of the revelations of war crimes on the general sinhalese populace?

In Sri Lanka "independent" TV stations, news papers are rare. Most of these media owners are politicians or relatives of politicians including the Tamil news papers. so to get some idea you have to read news papers from both sides.

In any war condition crimes can happen, all the videos released so far shows some incidents against members of one terrorist group. sure, SL army may have done the top heads hunting. It is the key point to destroy a terror outfit. Incident about terror leaders kid is unfortunate, if it has done by SL army we all know reason for it.

Don't lie and cover up, the govt sponsored structural genocide of Tamils have been going since independence. What happen in Sri Lanka in 2009 was the worst war crime of the century

Indian Tamils are the second main batch from India, British brought them to Sri Lanka in British era. Sri Lanka able to send some of percentage back to their land, tamilnadu. Some of them lived here with out a country, anyway GoSL gave SL citizenship to all of them at last.

so rest of Tamils who came to Sri Lanka in various periods before the British era, we consider them as Sri Lankan Tamils.

Who start killing civilians? Who made terror outfit to kill civilians? who trained them? In which country they trained them? how many years were they spread violence in Sri Lanka? Now don't cry, they got what they deserve!

Well if you are justifying civilian killings then what is the difference between your army and LTTE?

Moreover, Why is it so hard for your govt to give EQUAL rights to tamils? Why is this insecurity ?
Is the sinhalese majority incapable to compete with the tamil minority on equal terms?
Is not this lack of equal treatment the reason for formation of LTTE and other organization? 
I am disappointed with tsome Indian members supporting this srilankan govt... either that person is ignorant of the history(in which case he shouldnt comment) or the person is devoid of sense of right/wrong

BS. trying hard to distort history with your lies, where did the Sinhalese come from and who were they people living in Lanka before the arrival of the Vijaya thugs from Bengal. The marraige alliance of the Vijaya with the Tamil Pandyas etc .

Elara, (also known as Ellalan, Manu Needhi Cholan, Élaezha Chola and Elara the Just), was a Chola king from the Chola Kingdom, in present day South India, who ruled a part of [1] Sri Lanka from 205 BC to 161 BC including [1] the ancient capital of Anuradhapura. Often referred to as 'the Just King'. The Tamil name Ellalan means, 'the one who rules the Ellai (boundary). Elara, a Tamil from the Chola country, is traditionally presented as being a just king even by the Sinhalese.

I haven't mentioned the civilians hunting thing. If we really need to kill civilians SL army don't need to wait until last two weeks.

SL has equal treatment and rights to every ethnic group. what are the special rights we Sinhalese have in Sri Lankan constitution?
