Where is ethnic cleansing? Written by a Sri Lankan, but the true author is unknown but the facts given below are 100% accurate. Hence, decided to publish this in my Blog, so the World can stumble on it and get the correct picture . Tamils – How many Tamils are employed in southern Sri Lankan companies? (See the number of high caliber Tamils in Sri Lankan banking sector, see hotel trade, film trade and other industries) Do they experience any hardship professionally due to ethnicity? If so, how come they hold such high positions? See how many Tamil kids are getting educated in International schools? They have outnumbered other ethnicities. Royal college has Tamil medium, DS has Tamil medium. So many Sinhala major government schools have Tamil medium and they share equal opportunities. How many Tamil major schools have Sinhala medium? Private schools like St. Thomas, Trinity etc have quite a large number of Tamil students. Travel to Wellawatte, Dematagoda, Deh...

This letter appeared in one of the Dailies in this regieon (Khaleej Times) today. Sri Lanka’s Pledge 22 September 2009 The world Tamil community and human rights groups are suspicious of the new Sri Lankan pledge to resettle about 280,000 civilians with over 60,000 children within this year, citing that this could be another attempt by the authorities to satisfy IMF loan conditions and European Union. The notable difference between the Swat Valley relocation and the Sri Lankan crisis is the level of participation of international organisations which have expertise on the projects of similar nature. In Sri Lanka, the conduct of war and the incidents following the war were carried out in complete media blackout, and aid agencies were expelled. The areas from where the civilians were herded during the two-year war is said to be going through a major change, demographically. 
 In Kilinochchi district 
 alone, the buildings of cultural importance to Tamils have been demolished and replace...

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) securing a majority in the Vauniya district election is a worrying sign. The TNA was the LTTE terrorist’s puppet and pseudo democratic voice in the past and even after the terrorists were defeated completely, why and how they managed to secure the majority is something the authorities have to dig in and find out soon. The authorities will also have to keep a very close eye on their (Tigers in sheep’s cloths) activities from now on or they will again try to take us back 30 more years. The ruling alliance’s win in the Jaffna district was something that was expected, after all what the present government did to liberate the peace loving Tamils from the terrorist’s dictatorial fist. Some pro terrorist commentators were trying to link this magnificent win in Jaffna to the recent lifting of fishing ban in the north and east as the main livelihood in Jaffna, according to them was fishing. The terrorist for sure and perhaps some of those commentator...

Getting the self appointed LTTE leader, Selvarajah Pathmanathan also known as KP by the Sri Lankan authorities in Malaysia is a great achievement and this would be the last nail on the Eelam coffin. This also proves another important point that the peace loving international community is still behind the democratically elected Sri Lankan government. Until the biggest murderer was killed, many in the Diaspora, languishing comfortably in many developed countries supported the idea of achieving Eelam only by military means and the following day many have changed their tune and prefer to enter the democratic means. KP , a man with blood on his hand is one of them. Unfortunately this opportunity was given to them many times in the past by many Sri Lankan governments but all what they did was go back on their words and restored to military option. I am sure getting KP in a foreign land by the Sri Lankan authorities would send a loud and clear message to those who are languishing i...

With the crushing of the LTTE militarily recently, the local Medias are in a dilemma now of not knowing as to what to do to attract readers and viewers in numbers to them like the final few days of the battle. The war was a curse for the country as a whole but for few it was a blessing. The media too benefitted immensely during that time. Now the war is over and development works that were moving at a snail pace would pick up wind and the benefits’ would trickle down soon to where they are mostly needed. Despite the calm and the promise for a better tomorrow, there is one illegal business still flourishing in Sri Lanka. Human smuggling is a very lucrative business and those who have ventured in to it were benefitted and made millions during the war times. This was another venture funded with blood money by the LTTE with two broad intentions in mind. Knowingly or unknowingly, many of the “Anti LTTE” and “Anti War” people too have got involved in such activities that have ...

My sympathies are with the people of Pakistan for having being subjected to endure atrocities in that magnitude day after day. However, you can take courage and solace from the recent Sri Lankan experience that any terrorist can be defeated, if you stick together as one. But my only word of caution is to beware of those international agencies that have lately taken moral high grounds and started calling for investigations in to human rights violations and war crimes, when a country is engage in a battle with a bunch of terrorists. In fact, the real violators and perpetrators’ of such heinous crimes are only found in the lands, where most of such frequent calls are coming from. Some of the officials who are going places and pledging so many because the talk is cheap but unfortunately none is yet to be able to show to the world that they can even   “Walk their talks” as well. Take the case of Sri Lanka’s recent victory against a bunch of terrorists who had been dubbed as the mo...

For the majority of those who are living in Sri Lanka and abroad the war is finally over. When the final victory was announced, people spontaneously came out on to streets to celebrate. Though it was tersely reported in many international Medias, among them were many Tamils living in and around cities too have voluntarily joined the frolicking crowds. They too lit crackers, cried, laughed, sang, danced and enjoyed communally cooked “Kiri Bath” and “Lunu Miris”, with the other merrymakers. An identical incident happened, some years back but that too was only reported tersely. When the Indo-Lanka peace treaty was announced in 1987, the Tamils who were living then in the north of the country too came out in thousands on to streets to celebrate, when they heard that one of the preconditions of the treaty is to, all armed Tamil groups to surrender their arms. All groups were surprised and only a few were annoyed and angered. I do not think that I need to go in to details of what happened a...
