Venkat:	This is in reference to one of ur artciles:		
	I do agree that some of the policies of the Indian Govt
	are for the benefit for India.  This may be against the
                    i^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
i------------------------------------------------------

Kathiravan:  Can they even kill and rape by sending
1,000000 men for their benefit.. This is more
than benefit. It is merciless and outrageous. 
----------------------------------------------------------
 Venkat:      interest of some of Tamil Srilankans.  But in most of
        ur articles you keep insisting the same point there is
                             ^^^^^^^^^
	no difference between the Tamils in Srilank and India.
	I dont agree to this particular point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Kathir:  

I am speaking from my heart. Many people don't
speak. Others speak whatever Delhi wants them to speak.
That is a" maNpuzhu" mentality. (earthworm does not have
a spine, wherever there is an obstacle it will avoid
for its material survival). There are some humans who cannot
have a "koLkai" in life.
I was born to a tamizh mother. Why will I be a coward
to tell that. You may not speak but I'll do till I die.

           Just as Jews, wherever they maybe they are one,
Tamizhs, wherever we are we are one.
Tamizhs have been murdered by oraganized violence
of Sinhalse gangs. Moreover, to me it is more important
than anything else (my mother Tamizh). Anybody
born to a Tamizh mother will say the same thing.
A whole library
of literary collection has been destroyed under
the supervision of a central govt. minister. Let us be
aware that the equitable aggrement signed by Selvanayagam,
a passivist and Mr Bandaranaike was muddied because
of the Buddhist clergy. It is different type of
political situation in Srilanka. Religion and politics
have mixed. The Srilanka govt has even changed the
history of the island and school children are made
to hate Tamizhs (see for ex. a book titled,
"Holocaust of 1983"-Cyril Fernando changed the
history of Srilanka. The author gives an objective
picture of the situation ).  
----------------------------------------------------------------
Venkat:				
	Though both of them speak the same language
	they are in two different countries. Moreover, the main
	reason, I assume, u address the tamil problem collectively
	is just to solve your own problem.
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
---------------------------------------------------------------
Kathir:

I do not know of any problem I have with my country. I want
to know if you have any against me to say so. My only concern
is the Indian interfernce in Srilankan problem and making
the problem worse by killing 8000 civilians and destroying
some temples and tamizh culture.


         I was in Tanjaavur when Indiraa opened Rajendra
Cholan's statue and made a high pitch political speech
openly supporting the Tigers. Instead of bringing
about a just settlement they encouraged violence.
Now all of a sudden all the freedom fighters become
terrorists. Come on ! double standards.
i------------------------------------------------------  
Venkat:         It is more of a 
	vested interest.  If I apply the same logic, Britishers
	cant identify themselves with the internal problems of
	US, because US was formed by British immigrants.  Like
	that India cant dictate terms in Pakistam just because
	it was part of India before.  I may differ with some
	of the domestic policies of the Tamil Nadu Govt. But it is not
	correct on my part to expect help from Sri Lankan Tamils
	to fight against the Govt.
-------------------------------------------------
Kathiravan.
  No fool would want Tamizhs to fight against India.
  We only want as far as Indian govt. is concerned to
  respect us. We don't like the high handed attitude
of the so called patriots to bring down a duly elected
state govt.
any time at its own will and pleasure. Power 
has been misused by the center. You respect
people, people will respect you. 
i------------------------------------------------		

 Venkat:      Whatever happening in SriLanka is to be condemned.
	But it not necessarily a problem of a Tamil.  As a human,
	I would side with u as well with the poor sinhala/muslim
	families hit back by Tamil separatists.  But not as a
	tamilian, because it is a problem of another nation.
_----------------------------------------------------------

Kathiravan
             I am for a just solution for everybody.
But the polticians think otherwise. It was noted
in India Today that whoever solves the tamizh problem will loose
elections in Srilanka. The politicians want the violence
to continue. 
            And the Indian govt. honours
Devi(L) Jay for sending innocent refugees (women and children)
back to ilankai. I would like to see anyof the
humanistic people in the net condemning that.
