We do not deny that our people came to India for help, but at that time who 
knew that India will act like this?

No! Boat loads of people went to India alright, but all of them were registered
with the Indian Government as refugees, and from the UN fund for refugees,
large sums of money (in foreign exchange) were given to India time to time. 
All the people who went from SriLanka was accounted for this aid, but more than
60% of them used their own money and found accomodations. They had to pay 5 to
6 times of the usual rent an Indian would have paid. Reason given: No guarantee
to get regular rent from refugees! Lot of them had to pay 6 to 9 months' rent
as advance, and some of them couldn't get it back as they were expelled from
the country with a short notice. 

	The UN funds would have covered the expenses of ALL these people, but
Tamils from western countries had to organize private funds for medical supplies
for these people. In the meantime, cabinet ministers and other politicians were
utilising these funds for their luxury travelling expenses for peace talks! For
a long time, until MGR intervened, no one from the movements were included in
the peace talks! Therefore, please keep it in mind: the people of the western
world were bearing the burden. Evidence? Check with the United Churches in USA,
Canada, Norway, etc. Amnesty International has already been branded as a 
terrorist organisation, now we can expect the churches also to get the same
name!
>So be thankful for that and don't curse those people who help you.

We are always thankful for allowing our people to stay in your soil. We cannot
forget it. But it doesn't mean that helpless people has to accept all kinds of
insults and attacks.

We also thank you for showing us the path we took! When the struggle was at its
infancy, (when it was merely a protest organization) many leaders from Tamil
Nadu (Janaarthanan, Anna, Bharathithasan, etc.) had given the courage to bring
it into a stronger force. So, whatever you say or do, your name will not be
forgotten in the history of Eelam.

You didn't need a visa in the past. But what happened? ALL the Tamils were
branded as "Kallathoni". Remember, the struggle is not only for the Tamils of
North, but also for the freedom of plantation workers. People returned home
under Srima-Shasthri pact were exploited left and right in Tamil Nadu (articles
from Illustrated Weekly of India), but they will be first class citizens in
Eelam.
