Wow! Congratulations all you “Holier than Thou” Europeans. When will remove ISIS and Al Qaeda from your dubious, geo-politcal terror list? A shot in the arm for Tamil racists, who are plotting to de-stabilize SL from global outposts. Those who have not forgiven & hate SL for knocking out the “Big Fat Pig” so decisively. Not least the corrupt, desperate JO monkeys lead by ousted King Kong, Gota & DJ etc, who are cunningly planing to ride a wave of Sinhala racism and insecurity in the south, back in to power. Cheers!

You are correct about most things except for the origin of the Sinhalese. Most of the present day Sinhalese would have come from Southern India with some coming from Bengal. Even Bengal is not really considered North India. Plus genetically speaking most Bengali’s are closer to dravidians and mongoloids. Its is only a minority of Bengalis that are ethnically Indo-Aryan. Infact most people in the Subcontinent are not genetically fully Indo-Aryan. So the Sinhalese being at the Southern tip of Asia are not for the most part genetically Aryan. Infact both the Sinhalese and Tamil population are genetically very Similar. Its about time we emphasised on these similarities rather than overly emphasising on imagined differences.

This decision by EU courts is because LTTE has not committed any acts of terrorism during the past eight years. There is not much difference whether LTTE remains in the terrorist list or is removed from it, because firstly there is no support from Tamils in Srilanka for an armed rebellion in the immediate future and secondly though LTTE was banned, it had been continuing its political activity such as demonstration without any restriction. However this removal has only proved firstly that the EU court did not swallow the government propaganda that the current violence in Tamil areas are committed by a resurgent LTTE, and secondly that there is a justification for LTTE to continue its agitation for rights of Tamils including independence as the Sinhala people are being exposed as intransigent in arriving at a just solution to Tamil demand for autonomy. Sinhala racists must understand that fair minded independent international bodies will not dance to their tunes like what some countries due to geopolitical reasons are ignoring the suffering of Tamils.

you speak of being able to standalone because of diaspora’s collective wealth – there is no such collective wealth – better you go mad because any investor looks for a return. The tamils have to follow the import export procedure of SL and pay the same or more than the sinhalese in bakshish like the indians have to. Then FDI is being rejected from japanese so you can never call the shots as you like it.

Please stop being a coward hiding behind a false name and churning out racist comments. Tamils want to rule themselves and not by any other ethnic groups. First settlers of Srilanka are Dravidians and Tamils as Dravidians are the rightful owners of Srilanka and want it ruled according to Dravidian customs. It has now been usurped by Sinhalese who claim to be Aryans, though in two recent genetic studies had been proved to the contrary. Very soon with modern instruments and technologies it will be proved archaeologically also. Tamils are only asking for their share of the land in which they had been living as sovereign race at the time of Portuguese conquest which was not returned to them when British left. The names of Tamil villages are being changed and Buddha statues and now Mosques are being built to cause cultural genocide. Tamil had been existent in Srilanka before Sinhala as proved by the discovery of several stone inscriptions. If a proper and extensive archaeological survey is conducted, the myth of Sinhala sole ownership of Srilanka will be blown to pieces like the Aryan myth. Are you prepared to take up the challenge of conducting scientific tests, if not keep off.

Why are you frightened to carry out extensive archaeological search for the truth. Even the Veddhas the original inhabitants of Srilanka worshiped Hindu Gods. Very soon your myths and lies about Sinhalese will be exposed by modern technology.

You are your own enemy. +50% Tamils( Tamil speaking people) live outside NE. NOT A SINGLE Tamil is prepared to move to NE.
IF FACT SO LONG AS TAMILS (TAMIL SPEAKING PEOPLE) DESIRE TO LIVE IN A SEPARATE HOMELAND WE DO NOT NOT WANT TO LIVE WITH THEM AND I ENCOURAGE SINHALESE TO AGREE FOR THIS PROPOSAL AND DEMAND THAT ALL SHOULD PHYSICALLY MOVE TO THE NEW HOMELAND.
Remember that when arrangements were made for the Tamils in the hill country to live in an environment of their own language, religion and culture, to live with dignity among their kith and kin they they declined and had to be repatriated forcefully.

Sinhalese people are also of Dravidian origin, which the Sinhalese continue to deny despite the recent DNA findings where none of the Sinhalese had the typical Arian gene. Elu the first language spoken in Srilanka is a Dravidian one from which both Tamil and Sinhala were derived. The oldest stone inscription in Sinhala so far discovered dates back only to 7th century AD, whereas several Tamil or proto-Tamil stone inscriptions dating back to 2000 years have been discovered. Denial of Tamil claim to Srilanka can only receive support in a Sinhala dominated audience and not in any international intelligent forums.

Good Lord Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam! If a moderate respectable Tamil such as yourself can speak like this, then Tamils are truly mad!************* Leave aside the “Game of Thrones” Europeans sometimes like to play, and now are salivating about playing it further to the south. Please remember rights of the masses of both races is paramount, before you stoke up your passion for grand European theatrics. ************ Lankan race was a uniquely Hela race from the sky, with the mathematical and scientific equations in their DNA (they probably came from Venus- dragons and all). Some mixed with Bengali and became Sinhalese, others mixed with other Indian tribes and became Tamil.*******************Sinhalese spread the unique Hela genes in egalitarian Buddhistic goodness to all, making them a very viable race indeed. Tamils concentrated the Hela genes for the 1%, in Hindu-caste meanness, making them a very dysfunctional, murderous group (lack of proper sundry facilities and all) *********** HA! Tell that to your Europeans so they can create a very new “Game of Thrones” season!

Real Siva Sankaran Sharma / July 29, 2017
Mad Karawa Sinhalese woman of recent low caste Indian Tamil ancestry , like most of the present day Sinhalese now calling themselves Aryan and unique Hela , Stop posting garbage from your American slum. Now you are unique with Hela genes not part Goan Brahmin , part Tamil Vellala or Burgher as you previously claimed. The original language/dialect of the country was Elu which was old Tamil or a dialect of Tamil. This is why the ancient Tamil name for the island was Eelam. Proof of this are the Eezhava population of Kerala, who are supposed to immigrants to the then Tamil Chera country from what was Tamil or semi Tamil speaking Eelam/Eezham . They are not called Helavas as there was no such thing called Hela. Even now many Sinhalese have family names like Eelamperuma or Illaperuma from the ancient Tamil word Eelam/Eezham . Eelaaperumal in Tamil means the lord of Eelam/Eezham. No one is called Hela Pruma even by the Sinhalese. With the arrival of Buddhism or some Prakrit speaking immigrants from north east India , the local Tamil language/dialect Elu got mixed with the Prakrit of these immigrants or with the Pali and Sanskrit of Buddhism and this became Hela or Old Sinhalese , that was very close to its Tamil mother in pronunciation. Elu(Tamil)+ Prakrit = Hela or old Sinhalese. Got it stop posting nonsense

ramona therese fernando / July 29, 2017
On top of that, to keep bloodlines and family gold in tact, Tamils married within their own families, thus making their offspring successively madder and madder. No wonder the terrorism lasted for over 30 year, and now lying awaiting.
/
ramona therese fernando / July 29, 2017
And 1% Tamil bloodline secured is not Hela. 1% North Indians forced Tamils Helas to become low caste. Thus segregated within castes as per Hindu religion, and inter marriages within castes, Tamil race became……Mad!
/
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam / July 30, 2017
The recent two DNA studies have found that the core genetic material in Sinhalese is south Indian thus blowing out the Sinhala racist claim that they are original people of Srilanka. It has also excluded Aryan ancestry, as well as Bengali theory as Tamils have a higher percentage of Bengali DNA input (29%) than Sinhalese (26%). Elu is considered a Dravidian language and there is no “H” in original Dravidian languages. Therefore Hela is not the correct name which was coined only after the influence of Sanskrit. Therefore both Tamil and Sinhala ethnic groups are mixed races with south Indian origin as base. Intelligent persons only accept scientific proof rather than hearsay stories. First religion to be practiced in Srilanka was Saivaism and not Buddhism. There are five pre-Buddhstic Shiva temples in all corners of Srilanka. Also the fact that Veddhas worshipped Murugan with a temple in Kataragama, goes to substantiate this. So please do not distort history to deny Tamils their rights.
/
ramona therese fernando / July 30, 2017
Relying on genetic tests is pseudo-science, and is merely playground for the elite to keep dallying with. For the masses, what is apparent at this time in Sri Lanka is that 80% are Sinhalese and 12% are Tamil (with +/-10% of greater assimilation between the two races). ****************Elu by the Tamils, later Hela by the Sinhalese, was the original Dravidian. Tamils are no more Elu/Hela, than the Sinhalese are. Both races got mixed up with Indian tribes. We have to reference the Elu/Hela genes that makes Sri Lankans a genuine race. Bengali genes is the wrong set of genes for reference. ************** The presence of Saivaism in Sri Lanka pre-Buddhism, cannot change the fundamental truth that for 2,500 years Buddhism prevailed in Sri Lanka. Indeed, in many Buddhist temples, or a bit outside of them, one would find Siva being reverenced also. **************What one finds is that Lankan Tamils are playing pre-historical games of racial purity, and forcing their masses to comply with the game, at the intense suffering of all. *************If they had not played this game, they would have suffered along with the post-colonized Sinhalese, and managed to bring up their areas with some dignity and decency that would have been conducive to all. Instead, Jaffna was a bastion of ancient racial games, whilst their masses were sent all over the Island to become productive for that base. Sinhalese population was grossly disregarded.
/
ramona therese fernando / August 2, 2017
Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam,
Considering both Sinhalese and Tamil look the same, it is apparent that they are of the similar genetic nature. However, there is a language and religious (and hence cultural) difference. The Bengalis and Guajaratis roamed over the place. Guess that Sri Lanka did not have a pronounced civilization before the Bengalis came in, and the Bengalis gave us the culture and religion (although there was a few sporadic Hindu temples around, they didn’t quite make a hold on Sri Lanka). South India however, already had a well-established Hindu culture and so the Bengali influence was not that pronounced. 2,500 years of a Buddhist civilization cannot be erased away by continual longing of a Hindu culture that didn’t quite take hold . It is difficult to understand the Sri Lankan Tamil intent for the Island.

Saro / July 27, 2017
A recent example is that Tamils in Jaffna are still sent police summons in Sinhalese only.
Don’t you think the police must have common sense that Tamils in Jaffna cannot understand Sinhalese and therefore it is wasteful and even more against the law of the land. The law was passed in 1988 but the police and government departments are hell bent on breaking the law and humiliating Jaffna Tamils.
Are there specific grievances only Tamils suffer as opposed to Sinhalese or Muslims? Please elaborate. Cheers!

You are wrong on both counts.
UK involves agencies and not charities to cut down costs of translation services. UK provides translation services to 83 languages and it is based on the benefits to the recipients.
On 3 September 1958 the Tamil Language (Special Provisions) Act – which provided for the use of the Tamil language as a medium of instruction, as a medium of examination for admission to the Public Service, for use in state correspondence and for administrative purposes in the Northern and Eastern provinces – was passed.
In addition, according to Chapter IV of the 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka, the Sinhala and Tamil languages are both official and national languages of the country. This constitution was amended in 1987.
So the police officers are duty bound to correspond in the language of the recipient of the summons or letters.

Sense must prevail- I take no side we are Colombo that the 2 villages from north and south attacked- (as a matter of fact I would prefer to eliminate both since you are terrorist of the first degree- karachele!! but as a civilized human i write)

UK government has cut down on that charity component even from have nots Brexit (you wanted the whites out Too!)- immigrants taking the piss` So please use the few charities or friends to translate- every day is not X’mas- Austerity is in vogue. The UK government does not owe its former colonies once they are given independence. Its english tolerance and faith in the religion (catholic means caritas in latin and english charity) Don’t take the piss because you will drown in nandikadal 2 number two.

Racist bugger Tamils from the north and east are indigenous to their land and do not try to compare them to immigrants from UK.

Eelam till death – You are a typical Tamil sycophant who does not seem to have a clue about reality. There is not a single state which gained independence from their oppressors without the support of international community. There is no support for Independence to Tamils in Srilanka and India has clearly told that it will not allow a division of Srilanka. Prabaharan did not understand this and due to his one track mind took the Tamils to destruction and humiliation. There were two chances given to him one in 1987 and another in 2002, and both he fluffed . Had he listened on both occasions to Tamils living in Srilanka, Tamils would not have been subjected to this sorry plight. Read the interview given by Sampanthan to Hindu where he says that if Rajiv Ghandi was not killed he would have settled the Tamil problem. Who is the mad man who will join hands with Srilanka and fight India rather than put India and Srilanka to confront each other and reap the benefit. Tamils have to go along with international community to win their rights. At the moment Srilanka is faltering on their promise to international community to settle Tamil problem in a fair manner. So please keep off from trying to mislead Tamils, who are not in any state to swallow your stories. The only role for LTTE is as a pressure group and let Tamils in Srilanka to decide their course of action. Perhaps in the future, international community and India may change their stand due to Sinhala intransigence and support Tamil independence. Tamils have to wait patiently till then for the next generation to take up the struggle.

Ben,
There is no Tamil racism unlike Sinhala racism. Sinhala Buddhist Fundamenaliism created Sinhala racism and Sinhala Terrorism. Sinhala Govts responsible for both Sinhala racism & Sinhala Terrorism & LTTE terrorism. International community accepted LTTE’s political ambitions and the Oslo accord between Srilanka & LTTE. International community helped Srilanka to eliminate LTTE terrorism but Srilanka cheated International community. So, there is no point in continuing banning LTTE and it is now necessary LTTE to participate in achieving the political side of the Oslo accord without arms and violence. You should welcome the EU’s decision to remove from the terrorist list. If Sinhala state & racism continue to fail to make progress on the accord, and use violence and terror against Tamils & Muslims, EU should consider banning Srilanka as a terrorist Nation.

The EU clarified that the LTTE remains banned.
According to EU the European Court of Peace lifted the ban on procedural ground but does not involve any assessment of the substantive reasons for the designation of the LTTE as a terrorist organisation.

If this brings back MR then you got to agree that Tamil diaspora is strong enough to dictate who Sinhalese should elect and how the live. If any of the Rajapaksa’s come back to power it going to be a bigger mess than SL has ever seen but its not going to be in the N/E.
Why do Sinhalese always look for someone to blame without looking inwards.
Reason why the ban was lifted:
“The court said the European Union had not provided any evidence showing that the Tamil Tigers were a risk after their military defeat in 2009. “The Court of Justice therefore confirms the annulment of the continued freezing of the LTTE’s funds,” it said.”
Dint Sri Lanka say it was not going to allow European Courts to remove the ban? What happened? European Courts seem to be relying on the law and evidence unlike Sri Lanka.
/

It is time that Sri Lanka tighten security measures, specially in the north eastern region. Until the European courts of justice reverse this action SL should suspend all the so called peace and reconciliation activities forced on it by the UNHRC.

I still think the drug story was Sri Lanka state propaganda. Then again there was the Iran-Contra affair. Most of the cold blooded murders were not properly investigated but labeled LTTE. The few that the CID looked at says otherwise.
I think allowing LTTE to function as a viable political entity will be to the benefit of Tamils and Government. This is just my opinion.

Let south stop buying from the north. Tamils in foreign countries will step in, as they have a greater purchasing power than Sinhalese in Srilanka. Please remember that GDP of Tamil diaspora is higher than the GDP of entire Srilanka. Have you heard that Tamil market event staged during last two years attracted 30,000 in Canada and 10,000 in UK. Also trade between South and north in Srilanka is tilted heavily in favour of south and if north imposes a similar embargo, it will be the Sinhalese who will suffer.

Its natural for europeans to attend market events because they by nature are nomads unlike the stingy standalone poreikis of the north. don’t spoil it for the rest of the peace loving folk at lanka – as a separatist you are prone to get locked and deported from UK.- if push comes to a shove.

Whom are you threatening. Demanding the rights for Tamils to live in dignity and safety in Srilanka including an independent homeland is not an offence in UK or in the western countries practicing true democratic values. According to your demand all Scottish nationalists demanding independence should be locked up. When even the powerful China could not get Dalai Lama deported from UK, how can a puny state like Sri;anka could do. Even hard core LTTE members who are either citizens or permanent residents, unless they indulge in terrorism related activities will not be deported. UK is a decent first class country with a credible legal system unlike the kangaroo courts of a third grade country like Srilanka.

EU can have any view, but they have to obey the ruling by the ECJ. If EU take any action contrary to the ruling, such as not permitting LTTE to carry out political and Human rights activities and organise demonstrations and felicitation events, it can be challenged in courts. Even in the case of refugee immigration, EU countries though opposed to it, are unable to go against the ECJ decision.

Sinhalese should ask compensation from LTTE for the damages they caused. So they can use the unfrozen assets to pay compensation. But the problem is if Tamils also ask compensation we would end up paying 1000 times more. So we have to find a way to take that unfrozen assets without asking for compensation

Don’t misinterpret the removal of LTTE from the list, as the Tamil Tigers are not considered as terrorists. The LTTE is removed only because they are no longer a threat after the Sri Lankan army crushed them in 2009. In other words the Tamil tigers are totally kaput.
The court said the European Union had not provided any evidence showing that the Tamil Tigers were a risk after their military defeat in 2009. “The Court of Justice therefore confirms the annulment of the continued freezing of the LTTE’s funds,” it said.
However the EU court upheld that LTTE’s activities were acts of terrorism, in March 2017.

Lets see who collects the LTTE assets. The war crime charges against the Tamils have not been pursued because it is presumed that all LTTE leaders are dead or none of the responsible Tamils can be found. It might be possible to hold anyone who claims these funds responsible for at least some of the crimes LTTE has committed. Lets wait and see who collects the assets and how they are going to fight for the assets if there is any value of significance is still there.

You are correct about most things except for the origin of the Sinhalese. Most of the present day Sinhalese would have come from Southern India with some coming from Bengal. Even Bengal is not really considered North India. Plus genetically speaking most Bengali’s are closer to dravidians and mongoloids. Its is only a minority of Bengalis that are ethnically Indo-Aryan. Infact most people in the Subcontinent are not genetically fully Indo-Aryan. So the Sinhalese being at the Southern tip of Asia are not for the most part genetically Aryan. Infact both the Sinhalese and Tamil population are genetically very Similar. Its about time we emphasised on these similarities rather than overly emphasising on imagined differences.

Lots of Sinhalese racists and bigots ( you see the same people or names or same people posting under different names) aggressively attacking the Tamil bloggers or anyone daring to dispel their Mahavamsa fairy tale , that the island solely belongs to them only , completely ignoring the fact that that are very large part of the island was continuously occupied by the Tamils from ancient times and they ruled and controlled their lands until European colonisation. If not the for the British the Sinhalese would never had any control of these ancient Tamil lands. They also seem to ignore the fact that most of the present day Sinhalese are descended from largely low caste recent South Indian immigrants ,now strangely talking about Aryan and unique Hela ( Pali for Eelam)genes( sic) . Most of their so called Sinhalese kings were of Tamil origin and lineage and so are their aristocracy. Even the king who converted to Buddhism 2300 year ago was Tamil . When the Europeans arrived there were three kingdoms. One Sinhalese ( Kotte) One Tamil Jaffna and the other a Sinhalese/Tamil kingdom called Kandy. Yes it was Sinhalese/Tamil not Sinhalese the population was mixed and the court official languages were both Sinhalese and Tamil,. However all these three kings were of Tamil origin. Even many western journalist have observed and commented many times , that the Sri Lankan journalists and government officials when questioned about human rights abuses or the situation of Tamils in the island , do not answer the question but start to aggressively abuse the person who questioned them, thinking this will discourage the person from following through.. The Sinhalese bigots and at time Muslim extremist follow the same tactic here.

After all Sri Lanka in in the southern tip of India only 20 miles away and the Dravidian Tamils who were by that time sailing around the world and trading, would have arrived and settled in the island , as it was within their sphere of influence.

K.Pillai / July 29, 2017
Here is a lesson waiting to be learned.
We should ask “Why was LTTE removed from the EU list of terror group?
Obvious answer: Because it was included – may look silly.
This will lead us to several questions but the most important one is “Why did LTTE come into being?
Answer: Before independence employers found Tamils to be hardworking and diligent. In 1956 SWRD B came up with a temporary fix through Sinhala-Only. In 1970 standardization was brought in to remedy the menace of hardworking students from socalled elite Colombo, Kandy and Jaffna schools. By now state oppression through pogroms (through rented goon squads) has found favour. Jaffna Library was set on fire in 1981 and a brutal Black-July pogrom of 1983. The sprouting of Tamil Liberation movements was inevitable – EVEN Dayan will agree because he was into one!
One had to prevail and it was LTTE. Much to the chagrin of international community, LTTE turned out to be a force to be reckoned with. They showed that a corruption free governing is possible – drugs free, banditry free. It took the effort of several countries to defeat LTTE.
History is not over yet – a new chapter has just begun.
The lesson: Oppression is only a stop gap remedy to aspiration. Oppression mechanism almost always gets into the hands of a group who will start oppressing all. Eventually we all bear the brunt.
The language/religion divide started all this.
/
Mohamed / July 31, 2017
Regardless of who lived in Lanka first, the Sinhala are now the majority. And it’s a good thing! Muslims and other minorities are allowed to live freely and happily in Sinhala majority areas. But in Tamil majority areas, the LTTE tamilians killed all of the Muslims who lived there. As a Muslim, I have absolutely no sympathy for the plight of the heartless and racist tamilians. They should all go back to Tamil Nadu.
/
Real Siva Sankaran Sharma / August 1, 2017
Another Sinhalese racist as usual posting their crap under a fake Muslim identity. The Muslims have wisely kept out of this discussion but this Sinhalese racist trying to draw them into this with his fake identity posts and create a rift between the Tamils and the Muslims in the island who are Tamils by ethnicity. The only difference between the Sri Lankan Muslims and the Tamils is religion , otherwise they are one and the same people. This is not what I stated but the famous Muslim politician from the east. The late Mudaliar Kariappar.. Thank the Portuguese and Dutch for importing hundreds of thousands of Tamil low castes and untouchables from India and settling them in the south and west coast. The Sinhalised descendants of these immigrant Indian Tamil low caste indentured/slave labour now make up th e majority of the present day Sinhalese. Yes they all lived happily amongst the Sinhalese! Is this a joke. The Burghers were forcibly chased off to Australia and other parts of the west. The Indian origin estate Tamils were made stateless. after living in the island for more than 150 years and most of them forcibly deported to India. The Indigenous Tamils were subject to discrimination rape torture and war crimes on a regular basis. Denied education language rights and employment. State power was and is still being used to steal large parts of their lands to settle Sinhalese. Almost 1..2 million of them were forced to flee their lands to the west. Now they have started on their former allies in their genocidal dance the Muslims. You must not be knowing the meaning of happy.
/
Pandi Kutti / August 1, 2017
It is the ancestors of the most Sinhalese and 95% of the island’s Muslims who arrived from Tamil Nadu and that too a few centuries ago. That is why they are closely allied to each other, as they are largely descended from low caste Indian Tamil immigrants. Birds of a feather flock together. They recognise they are close kin and have the same nasty traits. Sinhalese have never allowed anyone other than themselves to live happily . Especially the Tamils. They are jealous of the more industrious and hardworking Tamils and other minorities and have never allowed them to thrive. They commit violence on them and chase them away. In the name of Sinhalese Buddhist majortarianism , they have ruined what was once a prosperous British colony, that was far head of what is now Malaysia and Singapore in the 1950s and early 1960s. Now the country is basket case. LTTE would never have harmed the Muslims if they did not resort to their usual backstabbing selfish activities ,like spying for the Sinhalese in the north and Muslim home guards in the east heavily armed by the Sri Lankan armed forces raping looting and ethnically cleansing Tamil villages in the east. Stop lying
