Attention: Miss Jayalalitha and Company
I would like to bring up a few points with you. I am sure that you are not at all entitled to talk about Eelam Tamils. First of all you are not even Tamil yourself and do not have the background knowledge on the ongoing war in Sri Lanka.  Who are you to say whether the Tamils' fighting in Sri Lanka are wrong and who are you to say that Tamils in Tamil Nadu should not support Eelam Tamils. Each Tamil in Tamil Nadu has the right to support whatever they feel is right
