and needlessly create another entitled bunch, just like the freeloading beedis, and facilitate the establishment of the cancer of eelam on the Indian shores. It's a wilful case of आ बैल मुझे मार but on a national scale
how and why are SL tamils any of our concerns. If the SL tamil cause is just, then why not extend the same magnanimity to the khalistanis, naxals, and beedis too
the SL tamils have just appealed to stalin to impress upon the Modi govt that India should "help" them on what is essentially a separatist movement carefully and benignly camouflaged in diplomatically ambiguous terms like "self rule" and the more damning "to protect their unique identity on the island"
and indeed, lest we forget, what was the ltte doing in SL, if not this very thing.
This, BTW, has always been the Indian Govt's position on SL
Sri Lanka's interests are best served by ensuring equality, justice, peace and respect for the Tamil people within a united Sri Lanka.
what happens if, one day soon, these jokers suddenly and miraculously discover that their "unique identity" needs to be protected in India too. What next, a dravidianbagh like the southern version of shaheenbagh...
India is strenuously objecting to the pakis and the ummah doing the same thing in cashmere but your point that India should, nevertheless, go ahead and do this very thing to "help" the SL tamils is sophistry, not to mention the serious NATSEC issues that it will invariably spawn
essentially, it is the ltte that is openly asking to be allowed to open a branch office in their eelam territories
and now these jokers are once again cleverly playing the dravidian card trying to pressurize the Modi govt via stalin, as they once so successfully fooled stalin's father.
And, is it constitutionally acceptable to us that foreign entities are repeatedly and directly talking to state govts. After all, they are the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), and Global Tamil Forum (GTF), a Sri Lanka Tamil Diaspora organization.
the dravidians, which includes the SL tamils, including a lot of the global diaspora are looking to establish a greater eelam, should India help in its own halaling. The seeds were sown maybe two centuries or more ago by a white conman called caldwell
BTW, the current crises in pukestan, SL, nepal, beediland, and the maldives have all been caused by just one single evil entity -- the cheenis and India has been warning all these guys for years now..
and in one way or the another, all these guys have come running to India, katoris prominently extended, especially after bad mouthing India for years
TNA appeals for support from India, TN
Feb 21, 2022
Lauding the efforts of chief minister Stalin for his many initiatives for the welfare of Sri Lankan Tamils, the statement dated February 18, said Tamil people in Sri Lanka aspire for a degree of self-rule in the areas of their historic habitation (the NorthEast). “They believe this empowerment is fundamental for their equal citizenship in Sri Lanka and to protect their unique identity in the island – a position that always resonated with Tamil Nadu and Indian thinking and policy positions,” the statement said.
“Tamil Nadu has always been critical in setting Indian policies towards Sri Lanka, and it is in this context that a path setting, and pragmatic approach adopted by chief minister Stalin will give us enormous comfort,” the statement said.
“The TNA and the GTF look forward to establishing direct engagements with the Tamil Nadu government and to further strengthen the engagement with the Indian government,” the statement added.
