Ethnic cleansing in Sri Lanka?

Where is ethnic cleansing?

Written by a Sri Lankan, but the true author is unknown but the facts given below are 100% accurate.

Hence, decided to publish this in my Blog, so the World can stumble on it and get the correct picture.

Tamils –

How many Tamils are employed in southern Sri Lankan companies?

(See the number of high caliber Tamils in Sri Lankan banking sector, see hotel trade, film trade and other industries)

Do they experience any hardship professionally due to ethnicity?

If so, how come they hold such high positions?

See how many Tamil kids are getting educated in International schools?

They have outnumbered other ethnicities.

Royal college has Tamil medium, DS has Tamil medium.

So many Sinhala major government schools have Tamil medium and they share equal opportunities.

How many Tamil major schools have Sinhala medium?

Private schools like St. Thomas, Trinity etc have quite a large number of Tamil students.

Travel to Wellawatte, Dematagoda, Dehiwala, Kotahena etc and see the number of Tamils sharing the comforts.

Go to Pettah market and Fort.

Walk along the streets and see how many Tamils are doing business there.

Start from Kotahena and travel passing Dehiwala.

Sinhala shops are outnumbered by Tamil traders.

I don’t see any hardship put on them.

Get into a bus and listen how many speak in Tamil.

Try to find a single Sinhala board in Wellawatte.

All are in Tamil and English.

Go to a government campus.

Let’s say Colombo campus.

See the number of Tamil students.

See the number of Tamil lecturers.

They share equal opportunities.

I never saw them being humiliated except they themselves had divisions saying Batticaloa Tamil, Jaffna Tamil and Upcountry Tamil.

They have a separate Tamil Union for their cultural events, their religious events.

How many kovils are there in Colombo?

See the number of Sinhalese visiting kovils and Tamil shops.

Doesn’t it display the harmony?

How many Tamil representatives are in the parliament?

See the number of Tamil youth musicians in Colombo.

Please consider these statistics.

If somebody can come up with numbers and percentages, it would reveal the truth.

This is what we should call rational.

Our generation should not waste time on arguing what’s unknown to us and what’s not experienced by us.

Live today, not yesterday.

Jaffna and Trincomalee have ports, heavy industries, bus stations, railway stations, radio and TV broadcasting stations, universities and so many other facilities.

Now Sinhalese -

How many Sinhalese are in Northern and Eastern part of Sri Lanka?

(North none, East, 25%)

How many Sinhala medium schools are there in Northern Sri Lanka?

(None)

How many Sinhala employees are in Northern Sri Lankan offices and industries?

(None)

How many temples are there in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka?

(Two, one at Nagadeepa & the other at Trincomalee)

Can a Sinhalese travel unharmed in Northern Sri Lanka?

(Only now, after the defeat of the LTTE)

How many Sinhalese are in Northern and Eastern universities?

(None)

Now, answer me. Where is ethnic cleansing?

Now, for the US Congress and the British Parliament:

It is up to you to analyze and understand the real facts, rather than just believing propaganda like “GENOCIDE” that is just “invented propaganda” to mislead your tiny minds.

Americans didn’t know they were under attack by Osama Bin Laden, until it happened!

The British forces started shooting innocent people; mistaking them for terrorists.

(They couldn’t notice the difference!).

(Try convincing the loving mother of Charles Menezes!).

So, as a matter of fact, how on earth could they understand what’s happening thousands of miles away, in Sri Lanka?

First of all, stop what you originally started, by “clearing off” from Iraq and Afghanistan! Even with all the power and money you posses, you have proved beyond doubt, that you are still unable to solve your own problems!

Sri Lanka can do without dumb, swollen headed Yankees and heartless brutal killers of Britain ,who had slain millions of innocent Sri Lankans of former ” Imperial Ceylon” they pillaged and plundered!

If you cannot understand basic facts and wish to display a total lack common sense, we suggest you MIND YOUR OWN BLOODY BUSINESS.

You are still working on the “theories” of Terrorism, whilst hundreds of innocent folk are being killed by ruthless, fanatical sons of bitches.

BUT LOOK MATE….

Here we are in a relatively poor country, with no oil and other commodities that all of you worship, but went on to prove that to admit that we in Sri Lanka destroyed “Terrorism” once and for all!

This is what the Sri Lanka’s (less than 0.03% of the World’s population) contribution to World peace.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S CROCODILE TEARS

This letter appeared in one of the Dailies in this regieon (Khaleej Times) today.

Sri Lanka’s Pledge

22 September 2009

The world Tamil community and human rights groups are suspicious of the new Sri Lankan pledge to resettle about 280,000 civilians with over 60,000 children within this year, citing that this could be another attempt by the authorities to satisfy IMF loan conditions and European Union.

The notable difference between the Swat Valley relocation and the Sri Lankan crisis is the level of participation of international organisations which have expertise on the projects of similar nature.
In Sri Lanka, the conduct of war and the incidents following the war were carried out in complete media blackout, and aid agencies were expelled. The areas from where the civilians were herded during the two-year war is said to be going through a major change, demographically.
In Kilinochchi district alone, the buildings of cultural importance to Tamils have been demolished and replaced by military complexes.
Sri Lanka has been denying every human abuse allegation insisting that no civilians were killed by its security forces. It will be interesting to see if the visiting UN political chief, Lynn Pascoe will be able to match the high sophistication of the Sri Lankan authorities to achieve anything more
than just pledges.

And below is my rejoinder sent to them.

This is in response to the letter under heading “Sri Lanka’s pledge” appeared in the Letters to the Editor column in the today’s paper (22nd September 2009).

The writer tries to compare the Swat valley situation to the crisis in the north of Sri Lanka, conveniently forgetting the fact that most of the areas in the north of Sri Lanka are still laden with land mines, booby traps, IED etc, sowed by the terrorist who were trying desperately to stop the advancing Sri Lankan troops and to bar the Tamils held captive by them as a human shield leaving those areas.

Unless the areas are clear and declared safe, no sane government would allow innocent people to resettle on those lands.

Writer was further bitter that not much international organizations’ participation in those resettling and clearing areas, which have expertise on projects of similar nature.

To be very frank that many Sri Lankans do not trust those so-called international experts knowing well what they did when the terrorist were holding certain parts of the country north of the country.

All what those experts did were to provide monetary and emotional support to a group of terrorists and supply international medias with wrong information purposely to prolong the war as well as to discredit a democratically elected government.

So many international NGOs had been working in those areas for the last three decades but yet they could not build a single school, hospital, play ground in those areas.

All they did manage to build were luxury mansions and bunkers for terror group’s elite leaders and light aircraft and air strips to enable terrorist to terrorized innocent civilians in other parts of the country too.

Finally the writer cries about buildings of cultural importance to Tamils are being replaced by military complexes in Kilinochchi district.

It is sad to note that when the terrorist were running those areas, they have destroyed numerous Sinhala Buddhist archaeological sites and expelled non Tamils from those areas to create a hundred percent Tamil areas thus changing the demography existed before, but no international community crying foul now for every action taken by the government, never ever dared to open their mouths in protest then.

If someone is interested to know the true demography existed before the fishermen turned smugglers turned terrorists started wagging their tails and totting their gun, I recommend them to see the 1971 census records to enlighten them on those issues.

Finally, I am as confused as anybody else of the claims of culturally important buildings they have in that country when those people who first came to Sri Lanka a few centuries ago were in fact looking for horses to trade than anything else.

They may have their cultural heritages in the land from where they first came to and definitely not in that land.

Even the much feared and dreaded word “Eelam” in Tamil means the “land of the Sinhala” and not anything else.
