In the year 2005 Mahindra Rajapaka was elected as a president of Sri Lanka for next six years. The Constitution of Sri Lanka allows the president to ask for a fresh election after four years into his first term of office
After Defeating LTTE, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa decided to hold the fresh elections before expiry of his term in the year 2011.
And the election was held on 26 January 2010 and Mahindra Rajapaksa won the election defeating General Sarath Fonseka, a former commander of the Sri Lankan Army.
Sri Lanka is known as Ceylon and is 31 kilometers of the southern coast of India.
Division of Sri Lankan population 2001 ratio –
1. 73.9% Sinhalese,
2. 12.6% Tamil,
3. 7.4% Moors
4. 5.2% Indian Tamil
5. 0.5% Others
Population of Tamil people in Sri Lanka is in minority and LTTE was fighting for Tamil people.
As LTTE is finished now
What will happen to Tamils in Sri Lanka?
What Indian Government should do?
What Tamils in Sri Lanka should do?
President Mahindra Rajapaksa defeated LTTE Successfully with international support.
Now this is very good opportunity for India to renew the friendship with Sri Lanka.
We hope before china, India will forward friendship and helpful hand towards Sri Lanka to safe guard India.
Today in Sri Lanka Tamil people do not have any strong leader who can lead them politically ,for them situation is very bad , this is not the time to find the past mistakes of LTTE, Now there is no LTTE,
What ever happened happened in the past.
It’s the duty of Sri Lanka government as well as Indian government to see that there is no rebirth of LTTE.
They need our love, support, technology and financial loans with zero interest.
Sri Lanka follows proportional representation for the parliament.
This means Tamil population will also get the representation in the government.
India should not interfere in the internal matters of Sri Lanka but we can help Tamil people of Sri Lanka by giving them support, education, technology and India sponsored scholarships for the Tamil people of Sri Lanka.
But India should not help the revival of LTTE which is dead now.
After many years Sri Lankan people have hope to stay in peace and its duty of India to see that the peace is not destroyed by anyone and for this reason India needs to renew the friendship with Sri Lanka and share the Intel with each other regarding the terror organizations.
Tamils in Lanka should not forget the past and everyone should only say lanka for all
United Sri Lanka for the benefit of all.
The Tamil people should accept the democracy and should fight for the rights as a citizen of Sri Lanka and should see that the people who try to give rebirth to LTTE should not get support.
Human Life is For Peace not war.
Civil war does not happen from one side it is the result of the failure of both sides.
We hope this time Sri Lanka government will not ignore Tamil and other minority population, but they will move forward together peacefully in a democratic way towards progress.

Firstly, right now, Sri-Lanka is hardly following democracy. Secondly, first let SriLanka free the 100,000 tamils who are left in the internment camps and then we can ask them whether they want to be Sri-Lankans or not.
Thirdly, if you are so against war, you should be against Subhas Chandra Bose who wanted to fight the British through war and went to the extent of taking the support of the Japaneze and German Nazi war criminals. If you believe that war is the failure of both sides, the the war Bose was causing was a failure of both the British and Bose. The wars against Pakistan and China by India was a failure on both sides.
Now, if you feel that tamils should be proud citizens of SRi-Lanka, why weren't you Indians proud citizens of the British Empire? Why did you challenge the British and ask for Independence? Why didn't you just fight for your rights as citizens of the British Empire? A united British Empire for the benefit of all.
Every where politicians play dirty politics and common people they are the ones who suffer and pay cost by sacrifing their lives..............
Agree to every word in your post and its a good one, I just dont agree with this....we can help Tamil people of Sri Lanka by giving them support, education, technology and India sponsored scholarships for the Tamil people of Sri Lanka...first thing i feel to for all the people to come in the main stream this division is not good...nothing like Indian tamil, lankan tamil or sinhalese..they should be all considered srilankans...period.
Secondly if the other countries start giving indian minorities this type of support..would we like it..I wouldnt.
If we want to give any support to srilanka, we must give them as a country, never for some people..anybody who goes out of the country and become a citizen of other country, should be considered foreigner..they did it on their own, and they should bear the consequences.
I am not sure about Sri lanka Politics.. But to me Indian Govt should not be interefering with theres.
Srilanka is made of a lot of cultures , so they should try to get together, I liked the last comment that supporting means , Supporting the whol country and not ONE RACE OF PEOPLE, then we are doing the same thing, promoting racism, Every country has its own problems.. If people are not happy they should return to there Roots back to where they came from.
If we have come abroad then We should Respect the country and Support it as its citizens cause that country is providing for us for our family, Its the same as me in UK.. saying I want a different state and Keep saying India is my country ..
NO its not, UK is my country now.. and i should be helping in its growth Not tarnishing it.. IF i am not happy or i got problems then i shud pack my bags and return to India.
And regarding India its got its own problems First let it look into its own house and rectify it then do something about Sri lanka.
Tamils in Sri lanka.. should get together and support govt , get into the mainstream.. and work for progress of the country...
Anonymous,
I do not support Khalistan neither independence for Kashmir.
Don’t forget our history how we captured many states with force.
They have to accept Sri Lanka as a state, as a country.
They do not have any choice.
Do you support the view that Kashmir should become separate nation?
I do not support.
Same way I do not support Tamils of Lanka to be Independent.
Please read carefully Indian history and then talk about Bose.
Do not compare wrong way, wrong situations.
When Bose took the fight, outsiders ruled the India not insiders,
Today we can compare Sri Lanka civil war with Khalistan or Independence of Kashmir not with the Indian independence war.
India never attacked any nation,
Firstly china and Pakistan declared a war with India.
I will request you please read the history and understand it in a correct manner.
Do come back to read more post and I am sure one day you will understand what I am saying.
Thank you for your comment.
Apanatva,
yes you said it short and perfect manner.
thanks
Samvedna,
thanks.
some views which i have mentioned touch towards the foreign policy of India as well as India moving towards super power of Asia.
Regarding this in my future articles i will clarify them.
"They have to accept Sri Lanka as a state, as a country.
They do not have any choice."
I'm sorry, but as an Eelam Tamil, I was always brought up with the motto that when there is a will, there is a way. If your cause is just, there will always be a way. Not having a choice is meaningless to me. I've never countenanced the view that there is no choice. The day you feel that you have no choice against an unjust, unfair situation, you might as well be dead, because you will remain a slave to that situation for the rest of your life. There is no "no choice" in my dictionary.
"Do you support the view that Kashmir should become separate nation?"
Kashmir enjoys federal rights. It is within a federal structure. The tamils have no such rights or structure in Sri-Lanka. The Kashmiris have not gone through what the Eelam Tamils have. Were Kashmiris killed in periodic riots since independence like the tamils were?
Were Kashmiris told that their language is not an official language and that they were to speak only one language used for all of India? Were Kashmiris told that their religion had to take second status to one official religion for all of India? Has the Indian Army aerially carpet bombed the Kashmiris? Are hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris imprisoned in camps? If the Kashmiris are oppressed like the Tamils are, yes I will support their independence.
"I do not support.
Same way I do not support Tamils of Lanka to be Independent."
Then why did you support Bangladesh becoming independent? How is that different from the tamils in Sri-Lanka?
"Don’t forget our history how we captured many states with force. Please read carefully Indian history and then talk about Bose."
I am well aware of Indian history, thank you very much. I am also aware of the entire history of Bose. I have read almost every authentic publication on him. Don't tell _me_ about Bose.
"Do not compare wrong way, wrong situations.
When Bose took the fight, outsiders ruled the India not insiders"
And when the Eelam Tamils fought Sri-Lanka, the Sinhalese Army(outsiders) were occupying Eelam, not insiders. YOU don't tell us Eelam Tamils who are outsiders or insiders, that is for _us_ to decide, _not you_. I fail to see how your "wrong way, wrong situations" comparison holds. The Tamils were a separate kingdom in Sri-Lanka for thousands of years. When the British left India, the muslims took a separate nation: Pakistan. Similarly, the tamils wanted to split too at independence, but unfortunately, the sequence of events that took place did not make it a reality. Who are you to tell us Eelam Tamils that the British were "outsiders" to India, but that the Sinhalese are not "outsiders" to Tamil Eelam?
"Today we can compare Sri Lanka civil war with Khalistan or Independence of Kashmir not with the Indian independence war."
Why? Why can't we compare it to the Indian independence war? Why can't we even compare it to the Bangladesh Independence war? Why did India support the Pakistan split of Bangladesh? Were Pakistanis "outsiders" to Bangladesh? If you believe so, tell me why you don't see the Sinhalese as outsiders to Tamil Eelam.
"I will request you please read the history and understand it in a correct manner."
I suggest you read proper history first. Don't come up with half-baked rubbish based on your own half-baked views. Come up with facts. You talk about Bose, but I'm sure the most you have ever read about him was probably an Amar Chitra Katha comic.
"Do come back to read more post and I am sure one day you will understand what I am saying."
Oh please. I suggest you first educate yourself on politics and history before posting. I completely understand what you say, and from what you say, I can see that you don't understand anything about the topic at hand.

This "division" exists and is currently created by the majority Sinhalese in Sri-Lanka. The tamils, both lankan and Indian are a deprived lot in Sri-Lanka who do not share the same economic and politcal benefits as the Sinhalese do. The lankan tamils because of the war, and the Indian tamils because they were brought in as laborors and therefore started off economically deprived. There is nothing wrong in India supporting these groups to bring them to an equal footing with the majority in Sri-Lanka if the majority in Sri-Lanka is not interested in doing so.
"Secondly if the other countries start giving indian minorities this type of support..would we like it..I wouldnt."
You do know that other countries do this don't you? Saudi Arabia and other muslim nations have special scholarships for Indian muslims and provide funding for mosques, education, etc. in India. Israel has similar support for the Jews in India.

FYI, the tamils in Sri-Lanka do not view themselves as arriving in Sri-Lanka after the Sinhalese did or that they are "visitors" to Sri-Lanka. The tamils view themselves as the original inhabitants of Sri-Lanka. Anyone with a basic knowledge of geography and migration patterns of humans would easily conclude that with such a small strip of water separating Tamil Nadu and Sri-Lanka, whenever tamils existed in Tamil Nadu, they had to have simultaneously existed in Sri-Lanka.
Bloody north indians! shut the fuck off.
Everything is going fine for you but not forever. You may defeated pakistanis many times but you have antagonisms of chinese yet. Only chinese can teach north indians a good lesson and show them a their place. North indians support srilankan government was there forever ignoring tamils grievances. I am waiting when chinese will teach you a lesson and then you will be begging for support of madrasis.
I think India should not interfere in Srilankan matters. Peace should prevail every where.
Thanks SM for the info. Yes, we should help out these people. Sri Lanka is one of our good neighbours..shouldn't forget this. Hope they will get good support from our country.
Shabnam Sultan,
Yes we should interfere .
thanks.
ASWANI,
Lets hope the friendship keeps growing
thanks
Anonymous,
I will go through your comment and reply it .
First as you are master of Bose i want to ask you just two questions
Who was Bose ?
For which language and for which people he fought the Independence war with British People.?
you have to learn to think , stop thinking what others have told you in the past.
I would not even begin to wax lyrical here.
Until September of last year I was a union rep at Heathrow Airport.
One of my union members - Puvan - an abbreviation of his name as the full name was virtually unpronouncable to me in full - was sending money to the Tamil Tigers as his family lived within their reach and, if he failed to send them money, his family were at risk - he told me.
As an Englishman what do I know about the situation in Sri Lanka?
Nothing what so ever.
I have no axe to grind and no concept of what or who is right or wrong.
All I know is Puvan is a thoroughly decent chap and doesn't deserve to live under such pressure.
I hope Sri Lanka - and after seeing pics of Puvan's home town which is beautiful - I hope even more fervently, that a peaceful existence can be achieved for all the people of Sri Lanka.
For what it's worth...from a complete 'outsider' - a white Anglo Saxon Englishman to be exact - I dearly wish that Sri Lanka can become a united country so that all the people of Sri Lanka can live in peace and enjoy being proud of their homeland together.
I would so love to pop over to Puvan's home in England and join him in what would certainly be a celebration of the highest order if this came to pass.
My apologies if I am being naive.
For my friend Puvan and his family, I so so hope I am not.
Good luck from England

i dont see that tamils should have any problem living in srilanka, there aint much difference between the tamils and lankans, the government there should try to get both communities culturally invovled with each others
Four Dinners,
yes you are right this is what everyone wants
peaceful and united lanka for all as blood color is same.
for your info i will just say LTTE was declared as a terror organisation by 32 nations.
and killed Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
