Tamil Eelam

Srilanka has been habituated by two group of people , one from Orissa in India , initiated by the Son and daughter of Asoka the Great to spread Buddhism and another group from TamilNadu in India. These two groups from centuries had settled in the country and had been fighting with each other. Religious tolerance and secularisim and respect for each other had been never been existing and this is resulted in hatred and differences all long. Sinhalese being the majority had naturally has every chance and reason to bully the minorities.


What had happened in the past 27 years is very saddening and heart breaking. A race that had been beaten brutally, killed, chopped, raped, crushed to all the limits.

This gave rise to set of voices one a moderate voice in the name of Political parties who won a few elections but unable to protect its minority people. Then another voice surface which is the militant LTTE.

I am not here to judge who is right or who is wrong but as a person with a heart , my heart bleeds looking at the plight of the poor people. What they have done to deserve this holocaust?
What does the thousands and thousands of children, women and old people had done?
They were crying for help and even though the whole world watched , no one came to help them

Every religion preaches that God arrives and protects the poor and weak. Where is the God?
Where are the virtues called Justice and Equality?

Why is the common man so weak and impotent? Why there is no channel or a mean where a comman man can express his view and tell the mighty governments and politicians to stop all this nonsense. When there are so many people with a fairness in their heart feels and saddened by the cruel happenings, why can't anyone help the needy.

I don't know the answer for all these questions. But only thing I wish is, there should be a channel for every common man to express their views and make the countries, governments, UN and mighty USA to listen.

Unless such a channel exists for public to express their views freely and justly, the same story will continue everywhere. There will be lot of oppressions happening everywhere every day , the mighty will be bullying the weak and people would have to just watch impotently.
