  • Why are they still saying the same lies and poisoning the Tamil people's mind? It is very sad that the library was burnt, but nothing old and irreplaceable was lost.

    It is a known fact that the Tamil community didn't have any written records. All the historians, both Tamil, Sinhalese and foreign from the late 1800 onwards have written that there are no written Tamil records to trace Tamil history in Sri Lanka and that they have to rely on the Sinhalese writings. This is a known fact.

  • Tamils can't reed Books...

    They like only guns & bombs...

    I'll burn Jaffna library again !

  • What do you want the Tamil people to do? They are part of Sri Lanka too. People like you should be given the same treatment as we gave the LTTE.

    Sinhalese like you are a disgrace to your whole race.

    If you even come near the Jaffna Library you will get the same treatment as any other terrorist.

  • So that guy would prefer to see the burnt libray remain as a reminder of hatred rather than see a new libray built as a sign of reconciliation. ????

  • no one ever talks about the 3 policemen who were killed that day by the tamils. the tamils brought this upon themselves and have no one to blame but themselves. infact the police showed restraint in only burning down a library and not killing people. even a million books will never equal even one life lost.

  • Journeyman is a shameful news service. there job is to bring up issues & create tensions between Sri lankan communities with the aim of creating a civil war. I mean the war has ended. Sri lanka will heal it's wounds but these uncivilized western bastards dont let them. they try their best to set barricades. Govt has started projects to rebuild North including the libraries, schools, kovils everything that civillians need, but this shameful news service never bother to report them. shame on you

  • Agreed. These people--the West, specifically--do not let the wounds heal. Even now, they are broadcasting anti-sri lankan programs on BBC, not to mention CNN; these shows are made to rouse and incense the Tamil people--to push them to take up arms and further this conflict in hope of creating discord in Sri Lanka.

  • Eelam tamils are so lovely...their tamil is so adorable..The Tamil we speak in Tamilnadu is aweful..

  • LOL theyre playing GTA in a library!!!

    they dont even look 10 that was funny

  • he become member 1951 and is 60 years still member  1951+60=2011impossible the reporter 1951+58=2009 possible

  • continua la lucha

  • Knowledge is powerful. Remember that!

  • Burning of the library was unforgiveable!! But SL government replaced it with a new one, but theyre complaining now that it should have been left as it was. If SL government didnt rebuild those same people would have complained that government doesnt care about the Tamils. Also some food for thought the SL government built this massive public library, one of the biggest in Asia in those days not in Colombo but in Jaffna.

  • Only the building was rebuilt..what about the burnt books..manuscripts..those are treasures..irreplaceable.. I will burn your home and build a new castle for you would you accept that? How wud you feel..

  • i feel better to live in a castle than a normal home

  • And you study at SOAS, in London, perhaps? I'd study harder if I were you

  • 7:43, lol the kids are playing GTA

  • books are precious

  • You'd be surprised

  • respect to all freedom fighters from ireland ,free n.ireland , free the basque country , free palastein , free chechneya , free tamils

  • Tamils are free to cross the Plak streit & move back to Tamil Nadu.

    There has never been a Tamil country in Sri Lanka, and there never ever will be one. The Tamil country is in Tamil Nadu.

    The more you tell your lies the more suffering & hatred.

    I am Tamil, & I am quite okay with the fact that my roots are more planted in India than in SL. The civilisation in Sri Lanka is Sinhalese & Buddhist, not Tamil Hindu, & that's how it's going to be, unless change comes naturally.

  • Bloody bloody war - causes nothing but destruction and misery.

  • yeah the tamil tigers mayb suicide bombers and it may seem like a big crime but its not the gouvernment is dropping bombs on tamil human beings, and they killed over 50 000 tamils in like 2 days, more than 100 tamils in less that 1 single hour, and more are dying due to lack of medicen and starvation and alot more

  • Why dont the Tamils - which are hindu's - simply move to India ...a nation of 500 million hindus ?

  • that quite offense thing to say, Sri Lanka is THEIR country as well, they deserve to live there just as much as the Sinhala majority.

    BTW, india has close to 900 Million Hindus.

  • yeah i completely agree! it "is" Tamils country as well, apparently greedy singalease need to learn to share...

  • sill,

    Why don't the Muslims that are causing terrorism all over the world, and already have 57 countries leave the Sri Lankan Hindus alone.

    Pakistan was the solution in India, where the Muslims stole the land from the Hindus. The Muslims are trying to take over the world, and MUST be stopped.

    I support the Hindus and am tired of the Islamic violence everywhere.

  • ok tamils are not always hindus, and i am a tamil and i am defenetly not a hindu!

  • tamils are not only hindu, people have different beliefs (religion), im a tamil and im not hindu, and another point is that sri lanka is the homeland for many tamils, its our country too, the singalease need to learn to share, and telling them to move to india is like telling u to get out of wherever ur libing and go to a different country, u no its their "home" and it means alot to every tamil

  • ohh i meant living not libing! lol ;p sorry

  • Most likely the change shall come, pressure is mounting for it and there is no excuse for equal power to not occur now that the war is over. We can only hope the president will fulfill his promise.

  • Tamils are a some pretty people.Keep our head up , god will always love you

  • @oOMuzikLovaOo - I agree with you 100%. Sri Lanka is a home for not only sinhalese, but tamils, muslims and others living in Sri Lanka. Nobody has the right to take away the identity of 'home' away from you and others. The history maybe sinhalese buddhist, but being a buddhist is living with acceptance too!!

    sinhalese extremists are just as bad as LTTE supporters!!

    I hope that Sri Lanka will always be OUR "home"

  • stupid you are.

  • Thx! keep doing more updates about sri lanka!

    Peace!

    Tamil tigers FREEDOM FIGHTERS!!!

  • Tamil tiger SUICIDE BOMBERS!!!

  • yeah the tamil tigers mayb suicide bombers and it may seem like a big crime but its not the gouvernment is dropping bombs on tamil human beings, and they killed over 50 000 tamils in like 2 days, more than 100 tamils in less that 1 single hour, and more are dying due to lack of medicen and etc

  • im not saying the government is the good guy in this situation.

    but when when tamils try assasinating political leaders and send suicide bombers, the government has no choice.

  • Sri Lanka's whole leadership should be charged with War Crimes, not because of this cultural genocide,because they may or may not have been directly responsible but for the countless murders that they have taken part in against the tamils

  • prabhakaran was a bad man

  • ROFL at the bunch of kids watching and playing grand theft auto!
