'Hope India will support us at UN' meet: Lankan min Sri Lankan minister at Thiruvananthapuram
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sri Lanka expects a favourable vote from India at the upcoming United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, Sri Lankan minister for public administration and home affairs W D John Seneviratne said on Saturday. On the sidelines of a personal visit to the state, he said that Sri Lanka was taking a lot of efforts to restore human rights in the country.

"India has to take a decision and we hope that the country is noticing the efforts taken by Sri Lanka for restoring human rights."

He was in Kerala to unveil the statue of Buddha at the Sree Buddha College of Engineering at Nooranad. "We had opportunity to spread Buddhism to many countries. But Buddhism and Hinduism, the two major religions practised in our country, are India's gift to our people," he said.

He said the government was taking a lot of efforts to revive the country in terms of education and infrastructure. The Sri Lankan government has begun efforts to decentralize administration and district secretaries were being posted for this purpose

. He added that Sri Lanka expects India to extend assistance as the Tamil community that have their roots in India were treated well in his country. "All major political parties representing the Tamil community in Sri Lanka, excluding TNA, are part of the government," he said.

He added that both the governments have jointly undertaken a power project that is expected to generate 500MW electricity at Trincomalee in Sri Lanka.

"The relation between India and Sri Lanka has been a long-standing one, and the bond between the two countries is getting stronger," he said.

He said that Sri Lanka and Kerala has many similarities in many areas, and the strengthening of the ties between the two places was very easy and necessary.

He was on his visit to the state to unveil the statue of Buddha at the Sree Buddha College of Engineering at Nooranad. "We had opportunity to spread Buddhism to many other countries, but Buddhism and Hinduism, which are two major religions practised in our country, were the gift of India to us," he said.
'Hope India will support us at UN' meet: Lankan min Sri Lankan minister at Thiruvananthapuram - The Times of India
I have heard a lot from both sides Tamils & Sri Lankans(especially dominant ones). Now I want both of these community related posters to give their honest opinion what they want from opposite side in return what they are ready to give in. I have seen all the bitter moment because of frequent visit to Sarnath in my home town where Sri Lankans visit a lot & Tamilians protest against them. Any one can comment but I want these both communities to write their community name before their posting so that we can come to some conclusion here. I am fed of these fights. It is not helping niether India, Indian Tamils, nor Sri Lanka,Sri Lankan Tamils(especially). Third party always gains from our fight. As Indian perception China & Pakistan & As a sri Lankan perspective Americans & western countries.

I will share this data with prominent centers by mail in the end. You can also do the same.
Thank you very much.

@RISING SUN I think only Tamil members can give proper answers to your questions

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

@RISING SUN: The solution is simple. Implement the consitutional amendments as promised to India and the world (13th amendments).
Second: accountability for 40000 tamilians killed. 40k is an UN estimate. They gave a number of 40k -80k people. So who is responsible for that?
And sensibility in Tamil areas. They have opened places as Museums where former LTTE cadres had lived. There are billboards showing "victory " in places where people are massacred. And u cannot conduct a marriage or any religious function without the permission of Army stationed there.

First two points i mentioned are clearly important in solving. If GoI gives enough pressure 13th amendment wil be implemented.
But for the deaths, UNHRC voting is a must. u must see "Lanka's killing fields" video's released by BBC.

Its sad to consider, that while GoI swooped in to save Bangladeshis in 1971, failed to save these people now.

I will try to be fare on this concept. Your 1st & 3rd points are worth taken. While 2nd point which I am making bold is not considerable as per me. For responsibility part India, Sri Lanka & LTTE were directly responsible, now LTTE is dead so Sri Lanka & India are responsible. But in a war no one can certify who killed how many. Sri Lanka has killed more that's for sure in wartime of last phase but overall LTTE was no less than them at all. It killed thousands of innocent Indian as well as Sri Lankan even few Tamils as well if I am correct. Quite similar to Kashmir problem.

this happened in srilanka - they propagated tamil militant nationalism. the same thing is now propagated in tamil majority regions in states like kerala,karnataka.

You are only taking about so many numbers of Tamilians Killed ….What about LTTE killed others…Boss one thing you need to understand that if bullet culture comes into the picture …You cannot say that I killed less and you killed more so you are culprit…. If you want to see situation to be improved you have to try from your side too…Please let us know what Tamil guys did for the situation improvement.

 

[RISING SUN]

Peace folks, I have started these thread in search of some solution. Please talk in favor of peace. Give the problem as per you & solutions as per you. Also tell us what will you give in.

I am counting on you folks. Let's bring something different from this competition. Deal?

What ever decision India takes should be acceptable for Tamils in India....................

 

[RIMPAC]

Hope india votes against Sri Lanka so that we can get closer to Sri Lanka.
The more anti-sri lanka the Indians get, we become the eventual winner.
Our influence in Sri Lanka has increased enormously over the last few years.
Soon we will have a naval base in Sri Lanka.

 

[Skyline]

Nothing will bring to India by voting against Sri Lanka, or for Sri Lanka. India will lose Sri Lanka if they vote against us or if they vote for SL they will lose Tamilnadu Tamils faith.

1. First of all who is India? lol It's our constitution, it's our people, it's our law. So it is entirely Sri Lanka's business and Sri Lankans will decide what we should do next.
3. FYI, 13th amendment is functioning since decades...
5. These numbers are came from pro LTTE side.. war was there for 2 and half years so there's no reason to target civilians in last 2 weeks. If army wanted to kill civilians they need not to wait last 2 weeks. If 40K-80K civilians died there should be huge number of injured civilians, at least 1-2 lakhs? where are they? They are in Tamilnadu hospitals? lol
7. Captured and surrendered terrorists members number is around 11,000 . Killing civilians and keeping terrorists. SL army is funny isn't it? Not only that rehabilitating those terrorists members, teaching new skills and sending back to the society. I think SL army is most stupid army in the world...lol
9. There is no areas called "Tamil areas" in SL, that is your Indian mentality living in blocks, your freedom is limited to your block. In Sri Lanka every citizen enjoying the same rules.
11. Victory is against a terror group, it's not a celebration defeating a race.
13. You don't need to take permission from army to get married, you need 5000 LKR for register the marriage and you should go to the nearest marriage registering centre with your girl and 2 more person needs to signed. one from your girl's side and one from your side, ring exchange can do in front of officer or at home.. Nuwara-Eliya is best destination for honeymoon, temperature is low or you can choose beach area Nilaveli where terrorists tried to swim before 2009.
15. Anyone can create videos, we cry seeing some movies it depends on the director. I really confused why Tamils in north voted for President Rajapaksha and General Fonseka in the presidential election. Do they miss the movie?
17. Finally just a little question for you, Now many Tamils live in north and what's the percentage Tamils living outside of it? If you say SL Tamils treated as "second class citizens" then I have to say SL "second class citizens" also enjoying better life and living standard than your citizens in "Tamil"nadu. Why don't you guyz spend some time to develop your country than crying for SL matters. lol

The honest solution is to abolish the 13th amendment and give the decision making power for petty regional issues to gam sabha or gram panchaytas.

Tamil leaders in SL always demanding police and land powers for the provinces. What the hell they can do with land and police powers when all the other powers are with the government.

If u have no idea on any thing better do not comment?

Did u see in my post any support for LTTE? Or LTTE as saints? Both sides were worse. My position was LTTE was forced to be born. However i didnt mention anything about that.

And By the way who are responsible for 40000 innocent tamils killed in final stages of war? Do u know what the hell u r talking about?
Can u tell me what u guys ever did for stoppage of killing of ethnic tamils? Did u guys even raise ur voice when they were being killed? There are many tamilians in Armed Forces.
