What needs and desires? Please elaborate...since I too am Tam...
My needs and desires are to improve my family's life. Supporting the Tamil cause in SL was a blunder. Allowing Indians to be used was the bigger blunder.
I repeat, good relations with SL. Secure the southern front.
1. Give to Bhutan, Nepal, and Maldives. Do not expect anything in return.
2. Provide all facilities to Bangladesh and SL, while improving relations continuously.
3. Engage positively with Afghanistan and Burma, provide humanitarian and trade assistance.
4. Increase trade with China and solve border issues. Live and let live.
5. Increase trade with Pakistan, keep talks cordial. Forget bhaichara...not going to happen.
Above are my desires. The SL Tamils, who support the LTTE do not deserve our support. They assassinated an Indian PM. They can be pounded by the SLA, for all I care. SL Tamils are Sri Lanka's problem. They mess up, its their internal issue.
This obsession with the 'Eelam' issue is a dead horse. Let it die.
