Sri Lanka : War is Won - What about Peace ???


Sri Lankan Government may have won the war against LTTE, but what about winning the hearts of the Tamils? For me its just a territorial gain and nothing more than that. The estimated amount of the people displaced is more than 250,000. I just hope that Rajpakse govt. will try to give some more powers to the tamil population there and treat them equally, and not as a 2nd class citizen. I have been reading many blogs written by various tamils from Sri Lanka staying outside. And everyone says about one thing with one voice, whether he is a hardline Sri Lankan Tamil or moderate one, "discrimination against Sri Lankan Tamils". The LTTE came about as a result of the oppression of Tamils by the Sri Lankan government. One never knows what will happen next. Its the best time for Sri Lankan government to give all the Tamilians the rightful place in their own country.


Not sure how they managed to kill Prabhakaran . But there seems to be many versions floating in here and there. Sri Lanka has to come out of its etnic loyalty culture ever since they gained independence from British. I feel sad at the death of Prabhakaran (Even though I don't agree with his methods). Noone can deny that he had a goal and he was working to achieve it with all resources he had. But really what makes Sri Lankan govt celebrate more is that LTTE was more of a one Man Ruled private limited company with no norms of liberation organisation. And with all the top leaders of LTTE dead, none knows what lies ahead of the Tamilians in Sri Lanka.


I pray to lord Shiva that he bless all the souls innocent or warring one peace at the Resting Place.
