I think you misunderstood what I asked. I will ask again "Just because some Muslims support jihadists in India does that mean Indian state do not treat Muslims well?"
Yes my previous answer is still answer your question!
That is the main cause for the Tamil issue. Tamils were enjoying vast privileges during colonial era rather than the majority Sinhalese. Actually it is not Tamils fault but Britons. However when SL was about to be granted Independence, Tamil leaders new they were going to get kicked once the majority start free voting. Therefore they came up with this idea of creating a separate land for themselves.
So Tamils proved the mettle and also it can be that... Singalese cannot compete with Tamils and they want them out!
The intention was good in the Sinhala only act. But it was the way that it was used created all the problems. However most of the major issues with the act were iron out way before any Tamil militant group took up arms.
The intention was good for Singalese... It was worst for Tamils, Frankly the Tamils were NOT that aggressive that they took up arms just for separate country though being treated equally... I still maintain in 1960's and 70's they were treated so worse and the SL Government forced them to take up arms.
Well here's my answer. Let's assume all Sinhalese has mastered Tamil. Now let's take a typical Sinhalese villager who lives in deep south where there are no tamil population. How on earth that local villager use Tamil language to communicate if there are no Tamils to speak to?
I am NOT going to ask every Singalese to speak Tamil.... Start from schools.... So you indirectly telling that you will NOT learn Tamil... but you want the Tamils to learn Singala forcefully!
Let's take a Tamilians situation. There are only 15% Tamils living in SL and SL does not have regional hub cities. We only have one major city which is Colombo. So if a Tamil who lives in North wish to come to Colombo would be fared much better if we has learnt Sinhalese.
No need, Those who wish to come to Colombo can learn Singala, because it is necessity for them... Those who stay in North can be happy with their own language, if the Singalese are happy with Singala! 15% of 5%... According to UN all citizens should be treated equally!
Learning the majority's language always helps the minority.
It is their right.... You cannot force that.
If they were treated sub human and they couldn't do anything about is India's problem not SLs. We cannot take India's burdens. But remember we kept the half of them here losing some weight on India.
It is NOT the question about remaining half of the Tamils you sent back... that is over, You got to treat every remaining citizens equally! Else the minority will fight back... Holds true around the globle.
SL has priorities too we cannot just let them go down the drain just because of Britons and their coolies.
Your priority was the LTTE for 30 long years.... You cannot ignore and the same mistakes again and again!
Then we will counter react. History will repeat it self.
It is stupid ego.... I am telling in simple words.... Treat eveyone equally, Was it that hard to achieve? Are you telling that you will continue to repeat the same mistakes again... You want to end up all your years in civil war? Didn't the Singalese didn't lose anything in this civil war? Do you want to go through the same phase again?
"The BBC article" is the best you could come up with. It doesn't even say what happened during 2000 + time period from 3rd century BC to 1505. It is a Crappy article for promotion of Eelam ideology.
If you quote BBC then I will quote Onion news.
Buddy BBC is one of the trusted news from around the globe, They don't have to support for the Tamil cause. It is a trusted 3rd party news rather than biased news channels.
Then why don't India take them back before they are kicked out.
You consider yourself such invincible? Remember you defeated only the LTTE, NOT the entire Tamil community... India has the capability to strike a full blown war and dismember SL in matter of 2 days, It doesn't mean India will do it! Because India considers SL a friendly Nation. I am sure SL politicians does NOT think that way!
You are speaking like a racist here! You cannot kill all minorities in your country... NO country can do that!
