what i feel if the war continues is the tamil nation will be brutalised the sinhala nation will move towards a military rule ( now also it is one?). More the India openly side with sinhala forces for crusing the tamils the more it becomes justified for LTTE to finger India through siding with Maoist to create mayhem in Indian soil.

It looks like The Congress Party is going to lose the next elections and come elections time, Tamil Nadu and many southern states would side with the opposition together with CPI.
Even the elections loss is predicatble to Congress Party, its leadership doesn’t seem to care to stem the trend.
I sinceerly hope the southern states teach congress a good lesson.

If Sonia follows the footsteps of Rajiv, a similar fate as that of Rajiv would befall her.So she would like to live her life fully,instead of helping SL Tamils like Rajiv.Wake up LTTE!

India can no longer boast that they are democratic, respect Human Rights and Rule of Law, a birth place of Mahatma Gandhi and so on.

In the neighbouring Eelam, Tamils are raped, butchered and occpied by the Apartheid Sinhala regime. The brave Rajiv Gandhi sent war planes over Jaffna and Indira Gandhi showed genuine interest in solving Eelam Tamils issue. But today, Sonia Gandhi doesn’t follow the footsteps of either Rajiv or Indira.

One day the young from South India may demand for CHANGE and SEPARATION from North India. The land of former King Chola is powerless today and South Indians are slaves of the North. Wake up South Indians!

What Mr.N.Says is correct.India has problems in her backyard.It is high the Sinhala Thinktanks take stock of the reality and inform the Sinhala masses of the situation.
Of course the L.T.T.E.too need to be flexible.
Will it happen?

India is an impotent power and immature democracy.Manmohan is incapable of managing kashmir,assam,nuclear deal,dalits,bonded child slaves,poverty of 300million ,water distribution,illiteracy,naxals,muslims jihadi,sentiments of TN ,suicide of farmers and protection of TN fisherman.Long list of problems …..

IPKF already lost to LTTE in Eelam soil.Now is the time to attack Indian Army in Indian soil in TN and teach a lesson to them by freeing TN from indian hegemony.

There is no point arguing that India is always going after its own interests, it is quite obvious, but we cannot blame India because that is how what every country conducts itself.

Manmohan Singh is helpless against the Repression of the Dalits and millions of Bonded Child Slaves, Multinationals which control prices of seed grain & fertiliser, and thus have caused thousands of farmers to commit suicide, against the bureaucracy which is corrupt & inefficient and prevents releif measures reaching the farmers.
He is also helpless against the Kashmir Rebellion.

India is thus desperately in need of friends in the region. Thus it is conveniant to turn a blind eye to the lankan repressive/corrupt regime and supply arms to prop it up, meanwhile ignoring even the murder of indian fishermen by the SL Navy.

However, I do not see me in agreement with Kusal when he writes “President Rajapakse is a stronger President today” o
” Rajapakse has got the Indians on his side.” Neither does my reading coincide with Kusal ’s when he says “Rajapakse stands for the full implementation of the 13th Amendment.” Sheer hogwash. Without the merger – removed on a mere technicality and against the spirit of an Accord signed with India – the 13th Amendment is an empty shell.
I also have serious doubts “India forced itself on the APRCC.” As we recall, India came in on the “invitation” of a popularly-elected Lankan President – though everyone is entitled to different interpretations of issues. “So with India on Rajapakse’s side” Kusal incorrectly says “India kept its cool over HR violations – even at the time when abductions, disappearances and extortions in Colombo were at peak.” I am personally aware Indian diplomats here took interest to set right many shocking aberrations on the Lankan security side and have
had several discussions with many at different levels at GoSL expressing their concern in the matter. As to “Ranil met the President to say the UNP will support
the 13th Amendment” my information is Ranil angrily asked Rajapakse why he is bringing the 13th Amendment subject while the whole the country knows this a
UNP creation and is in the Statute since 1987. I also understand Ranil has said not only the 13th amendment but the 17th Amendment – both of which are part of the Constitution – should be implemented without ambiguity or further delay. It is known to many the President “lost his goat”and is said to have shouted he will never allow the 17th Amendment to function.

How does Kusal read the Indian rebuff of PM Man Mohan Singh not obliging with a visit on Feb 04 on our 60th Independence that Minister Bogollogama had assured the Cabinet more than once he has “been able to secure with much difficulty, my
personal diplomacy and persuasion”? This would have been one definite way of showing “India is with Mahinda” as Kusal erroneously claims. Friend, when India rushed to “congratulate GoSL for accepting the 13th Amendment ” as one way out of the impasse, they simply trapped the gullible Rajapakse of
the “celebrated Chintanaya” Poor Mahinda now is caught between the slip he made in Shekar Gupta’s NDTV Programme which he has confirmed in his statements.His invitation to Ranil was to get Ranil at least to say the UNP is against the
13th Amendment – so that Rajapakse can put the blame on Ranil and the UNP. But the whole country and the world knows Ranil has brains and is educated. Now the President is in the
classic kotiyage waligey dilemma – between the gullible admission to India
and the pre-election pledge to the JVP he will not touch
the 13th amendment. This is what happens when you promise to each and every Tom, Dick and Harry all what they ask before an election and try to fool them after winning. The JVP is not going to take things lying down. This is probably why
the uncharismatic Somawansa Amerasinghe threatens
“we will destroy the Govt if they accept the 13th Amendment”
