It is ridiculous to note that Canada has listed LTTE (Tamil Tigers) as from 10/04/2006 alleging that it has been known to use terrorist methods and suicide bombings. Are only the Tamil militants who fight for a noble cause to be helpless ? Is the Canadian government aware of the degrading strategy of the Sri Lankan government to exterminate the Tamils gradually but steadily to diffuse their demand for equal rights and undermine the Cease Fire Agreement that is in effect and force?
Is the Canadian government aware of the iniquitous state of affairs that prevail in Sri Lanka as the governments are engaged inhumanely in amassing sophisticated weaponry and armaments sponsored by international and regional super powers with enormous reservation of funds in the budget for war? Further, is it not aware that the Sri Lankan armed forces by their preparations would only terrorize the Tamil community within Sri Lanka as their only target because they are not capable of waging a war to overpower any other country in this world?
Recent upsurge of communal violence in Trincomalee:Canadian government should bear at least the moral responsibility for the recent upsurge of communal violence, similar to that of 1983, unleashed on the Tamils in the Eastern Province by the extremist Sinhalese thugs xenophobic towards the Tamils, with the complicity of the armed forces subsequent to its listing the LTTE. If any parties with vested interests, torpedo the balance of power among the warring parties, it would disrupt the peace process and there would not be any chances for peace as the mightiest would make every endeavor to crush the weakest and thereby justice would never be meted out to the suppressed. If the Tamil militants who fight for a noble cause of saving the Tamil Nation from genocide are to be branded as terrorists, why hesitate to designate the Sri Lankan Government as a Terrorist Regime since it is the authority responsible for the atrocities and mass murders committed by it's armed forces?
Are the International communities, Canada in particular, not aware of the Periodic violence targeted on the Tamil civilians by the Sinhalese armed forces and the number of causalities and deaths occurred ?  Catastrophic disasters and terrorism were unleashed on the Tamils as and when communal violences erupted in the country repeatedly especially in the year 1958, 1977 and during the Black July 1983 in the Sinhalese areas. 
Catastrophic disasters and terrorism were unleashed on the Tamils as and when communal violences erupted in the country repeatedly especially in the year 1958, 1977 and during the Black July 1983 in the Sinhalese areas. These barbaric violences were followed up by atrocities perpetrated over the years to date on the Tamil civilians by the Sinhalese armed forces in the North and East of Sri Lanka. Even during the communal violence in the years 1958, 1977 as in 1983, belongings of the Tamils were looted and their houses and immovable items were reduced to ashes together with their business establishments, churches, schools and other buildings meant for the public.
Is the Canadian government unaware of the factors that led to the mass exodus of the Tamils since 1983 to date? Is the Canadian government unaware of the factors that led to the mass exodus of the Tamils since 1983 to date? Because of the prolongation of the tyranny of the armed forces without a lasting solution to the ethnic struggle, men, women, young and old with children are killed, maimed or, mangled in tens of thousands. Further, the children are left orphaned; men and women are left widowed in tens of thousands while families in tens of thousands inclusive of children are displaced from their legally owned properties.
Is the Canadian government not aware of the fact that the aggression of the anti-Tamil Sinhalese rule in Sri Lanka led to the large-scale exoduses of the Tamils in hundreds of thousands? They fled to escape death in organized periodic pogroms by Sinhalese mobs, besides entrapment in the crossfires, detention, harassment, torture and indiscriminate aerial or naval attacks by the armed forces. They fled Sri Lanka in a desperate plight to North America and the European countries such as U.K., Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Italy and thus the Tamil Diasporas have dawned in all those countries by the inflow of Tamil refugees. Is the Canadian government not aware of the fact that in Canada alone there are Sri Lankan Tamil expatriates in hundreds of thousands? Why are they there? Do those expatriates admit that democracy prevails in Sri Lanka? Is the Canadian government not aware of the fact that in Canada alone there are Sri Lankan Tamil expatriates in hundreds of thousands? Why are they there? Do those expatriates admit that democracy prevails in Sri Lanka? Will any Tamil expatriate who endorses the activities of the Sinhala government would support the Tamil militants?
It is not understood as to how, the Canadian governments has ignored the indiscriminate attacks by way of aerial blitz and strafing and shelling and cannonade from naval ships carried out in the Tamil homeland against the Tamil civilians by the Sinhalese armed forces. Further, is it aware that in consideration of the safety of the Sinhalese civilians during the insurgencies of the Sinhalese JVP extremists in the Sinhalese areas, the governments forces never resorted to such tactics? Is the Canadian government not in agreement with the internationally accepted principle that a community with its own linguistic identity and identifiable homeland is free to live with equal rights with other communities and determine its political status? Is the Canadian government not in agreement with the internationally accepted principle that a community with its own linguistic identity and identifiable homeland is free to live with equal rights with other communities and determine its political status? It has to be borne in mind that, by virtue of the right to self-determination, it is entitled to pursue its economic, social and cultural development, and establish its self-autonomy, and self-identity within the purview of the accepted International norms and standards to conform to the United Nations' Charter.
Democracy prevails in a country only as long as the rule of the people, for the people and by the people survives in the absence of any racial, linguistic, cultural or religious dominance as envisaged by the former American President Abraham Lincoln. But it is the extreme opposite in Sri Lanka, as only a Buddhist Sinhalese could be the ruler, Buddhism could be the State religion and Sinhalese is the official language. Further, Buddha statues could be erected at random anywhere in the island, colonization of Sinhalese could be done at State expenses and standardization could be enforced to suppress the Tamil children who thrive on education. The Singhalese rulers have tampered all the past historical records and archaeological evidences of the country, with surreptitious interpolations, to the advantage of the Singhalese community with an inner notion that when a lie is repeated hundred times, it would be perceived as a truth.
Is the Canadian government aware of the fear psychosis that prevails among the Tamils
Tamil community is obsessed with a fear psychosis because of the dreadful terrors that prevails among them by the existences of the Para military groups comprising Tamil renegades, which with the complicity of the Sinhalese armed forces go on a killing spree as they come across anyone who supports the freedom struggle or does not submit to their extortions. Further, they stray yearning for sexual relations under coercion into the territories where women are found. Intellectuals besides prominent and erudite persons among Tamils are being killed and the TRO personnel whom they abducted have not been released yet. Intellectuals besides prominent and erudite persons among Tamils are being killed and the TRO personnel whom they abducted have not been released yet.
Communal violences that erupted in the country were mainly the primary and motivating factors to induce the Tamil youngsters to take to arms and the Super powers sponsor the tyranny and add fuel to the vortex of violence Armed forces, which persistently continue to terrorize the Tamil civilians, have crept into the Tamil territories and made a hellhole of it where once peace and harmony prevailed. As a result, making every endeavor, Tamils vie all alone to get their land extricated from the ethno-religious chauvinistic Sinhalese armed forces, which are sponsored by the super powers internationally and regionally. International communities make a mountain out of a molehill when the militants resort to retaliatory or suicidal attacks Hara kiri by the Samurai in Japan is based not on motives but on tactics to avoid disgrace in an honorable way. Almost in a similar manner, Tamil militants who do not have the facility for any aerial or naval attacks resort to suicidal attacks to retaliate, contending that those are inevitably unavoidable to arrest and crackdown the rampageous atrocities unleashed by the Sinhalese armed forces over the Tamils. Karuna, a traitor to his own onetime ideals All of a sudden, within a few months of the implementation of the Cease fire Agreement of 22/02/2002, like a bolt from the blues, the news of embezzlement of tens of millions of movement funds, murder of fellow cadres, sexual escapades and abuse of female cadres by Karuna, one of the most trusted erstwhile confidants of LTTE militants transpired. Being guilty, he could not defend himself or cover up his mischievous or traitorous bungling in the movement and to escape from justice, he turned to be a baneful renegade, slipped into the hands of the Sinhalese armed forces which decided to exploit the situation to extract the inner secrets of the LTTE from Karuna to wreak vengeance on the LTTE and refuged him in their Para military group to be a quisling.
Motives of the Sinhalese armed forces who associates Karuna are exposed by his personality traits
to conform to the saying tell me who your friends are, I will tell you what you are.
After years of armed struggle since that of 1990, people of Sri Lanka sighed with relief hoping for a lasting solution when the Cease Fire Agreement was signed on 22/02/2002. Nevertheless, unfortunately, impelled by the arrival of Karuna into their camp on an assurance that he would damage the reputation of the LTTE and pursue his vendetta against it until it is crushed, Sinhalese armed forces have embarked on violent activities and shattered the peaceful atmosphere that existed in the country. International communities turn a blind eye to the fact that children are being conscripted or abducted against their wish, by the para military groups to be trained. International communities turn a blind eye to the fact that children are being conscripted or abducted against their wish, by the para military groups to be trained.
During the gory attacks of the Sinhalese armed forces in the Tamil territories, even children are not spared and they too are killed, maimed or mangled. International communities, who only feign sympathy for the children shedding crocodile tears, do not do anything constructive to stop the war. They who do not bring about an amicable settlement of the contentious issues should bear in mind that, it is better for the children to have fought and died for the rights of the Tamils if they wish to do so, rather than being bombed, killed, maimed or conscripted by the traitors. Sri Lankan Constitution is replete with flaws and snags by being partial and one- sided.
Population wise, in Sri Lanka, the majoritarian Sinhalese community is the most numerous and exercises its most oppressive and cruel rule over the minorities. The Sinhalese community by virtue of their majoritarian status and voting strength could arrive at any decision of their own at any referendum and defeat any opinions or proposals voiced by the Tamil community with regard to their aspirations and fundamental rights.
Further, their representatives in the legislative assembly can enact any law or frame any constitution unilaterally at any time to the advantage of the Sinhalese community only, by their voting strength surpassing the opinions or proposals put forward by the Tamils. The Buddhist Sinhalese have framed the defective Sri Lankan Constitution that is in effect and force without any consideration or provisions for the protection of the rights and aspirations of the different ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. Further, it is replete with flaws and snags besides being partial towards the Sinhalese and discriminatory towards the Tamils due to the inadequacy found in it. 1) The Republican Constitution of 1972 robbed the minorities of even the scanty safeguards against discrimination provided under Section 29 of the Soulbury Constitution introduced at independence in 1948. 2) The Government and the Tamil militants framed a joint mechanism to alleviate the sufferings of the Tamil victims of the tsunami disaster and the Sri Lankan Jurisdiction has jeopardized it alleging that it is inconsistent with the constitution. Further, the heartless in the Sinhalese community obsessed with jingoistic patriotism has also had not allowed even humanitarian aid to reach them. 3) The incumbent President, jettisoned all the aspirations of the Tamils for peace by prioritizing war and captured power with his formula called Mahinda Chinthanaya which emphasizes no Norway, no federal constitution, no right to Homeland, no self-determination, no nation-hood for Tamils, no PTOMS, no recognition as sole partner in negotiation and no Oslo as venue for talks. 4) The objective of a Cease Fire Agreement being framed, the conflicting parties signing and peace brokering co-chairs to the peace process attesting, certifying and subscribing to it with the coverage of the mass media to make it known to the entire world is all lost, if it is violated or not honored to the letter. In this connection, Sri Lankan Government stands accused of reneging since the basic main clauses of the CFA remain dead letters even after four years of signing! 5) By being inconsiderate to the fact that man is not made for the law and only the law is made for the man, under the prevailing circumstances, it will not be a surprise if the Sri Lankan jurisdiction gives an order that the Ceasefire Agreement signed on 22/02/2002 is null and void and ultra vires to the Buddhist Sinhalese constitution.
If a federal government is not be feasible in Sri Lanka, the only viable alternative would be the formation of Tamil Eelam in the North-East, with recognition of its existence and independence by the international communities as done with regard to UN Member States like Israel, Bangladesh and so on in the past or East Timor recently in the year 2002.
We can have two States in Sri Lanka, which is approx. 65,610 sq.km. A few of the UN Member States actually smaller than either the future Sinhalese Sri Lanka approx. 46,777 sq.km. or the Thamileelam approx. 18,833 sq.km (in order of Area) are as follows: Fiji, Kuwait, Swaziland, East Timor, Vanuatu, Qatar, Gambia The, Jamaica, Lebanon, Cyprus, Brunei, Cape Verde, Luxembourg, Comoros, Mauritius, Singapore and so on. The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing about it. Albert Einstein.
