In my Srilankan wife's family we have Sinhalese, Tamils, in-laws from Holland, Germany etc.
Why not learn from the past: Grant Tamils the same rights as we in Holland gave the Frisians and (Lower) Saxon speaking Dutchmen. Mind you, Frisians also live in Germany (and some in Denmark) where they are 'loyal citizens' as well. But proud of their common ancestry, yet not asking for independence etc.!
Learn from our Netherlandic past. The Flemish (Dutch) speaking Belgians broke away from us in 1830
@wijayapala a1. I wrote 'LEARN FROM our Netherlandic past. The Flemish (Dutch) speaking Belgians broke away from us in 1830'
THOSE DAYS Holland WAS a bad example. From 1579 till 1815 we got divided (The mainly 'protestant' North being free of foreign occupation, the mainly 'catholic' South under Spanish, later Austrian rule). This 2 centuries of separation made us 'different' peoples (like Lankan Tamils and Tamil Nadu). We've learned a thing of two since then (see my replies as a whole)
@LankaDutch a2. 'Language (even the Flemish upper 'ruling' class only spoke French and our first king, William I, wanted ONLY Dutch as a national language) and religion issues' (Protestantism being favoured by the government over Roman-Catholicism, the latter itself being too obedient to Rome's pope) to name a few very important problems made a 'reunited and renewed' Netherlands impossible to last those days.
In the 21st C. both the (Northern) Netherlands + Flanders are ...
@LankaDutch a3. more co-operative than ever and with a soon expected 'break-up' of Belgium into a Flemish/Dutch speaking Flanders and a Walloon/French speaking Wallonia we might get a form of 'confederacy' with our southern brothers and sisters. In Wallonia a majority wants to be ..part of France!
Yet, as I wrote before, we learned from our past: Dutch, Fri(e)sian, Lower-Saxon and (I forgot) Limburgish are 'respected' (majority/minority) languages. Those speakers don't even consider separation!
In my country, the Netherlands (the Low Lands, Holland is a 'province'!), with 16,7 million people we have one national language: Dutch (Nederlands), and also a few 'regional' languages: Frisian (Fries/Frysk) and Lower Saxon (Nedersaksisch). Frisian f.i. is taught in schools in their own province (Friesland) and can officially be used in their provincial courts, politics etc. Most respect those 'minority languages' and all of us consider ourselves Dutch/Netherlanders, but all are not Hollanders!
Instead of sticking to "Sinhalese" and "Tamil", lets move towards the SRI LANKAN identity. There is no need for the minority to adapt to the majority language and culture...we can all be Sri Lankans and still speak our mother tongues Tamil and Sinhalese at home and speak English in business/education or whenever language becomes a barrier. The world is moving towards globalization anyway...we might as well pick up the speed and learn proper English.
@r0b1nh00d5 Well said mate. That is exactly the point. No matter who we are or which religion/ethnicity we belong to, we have to respect each other as human beings in the first place.
@r0b1nh00d5 wow.. i sooo agree with you... i just hope everyy singe person out there iis like u:) we are all srilankans... and we are proud to bee sri lankans... please dont look at the language difference..
this song realy touched my heart all the negative remarks are for people with negative remarks and the positive for positve people .we dcan do this people the only way is to talk about it and if our generation does not do it there is no hope so keep up the good work
You don't really look tough hiding behind your screen name hating on tamils. The cause for peace in Sri Lanka isn't being helped by people like you. There's no need to hate each other, if you really want peace in Sri Lanka then you would forgive and forget. If you don't, then you're not a true Sri Lankan. Get real mate, peace is better than war, and your stupid insults is getting you nowhere. Stop the stereotypes and grow up, then maybe the peace process in Sri Lanka can get somewhere...
all sinhales goverment need to know how 80 million tamil can do against 15 million singhalese. this won,t end pretty soon, ey u think u could eliminate us by destroying ltte. tamils keep on coming mother fuckers
How will sri lanka ever have peace when yu think like that..Sri lanka will allways be hell when yu think like that..I think if sri lankans think less about each others race or even not worry about their race everything is soo much better..i mean come on we're just hurting ppl who are just the same as us..we're all human beings..

No one wants to fight only reason it started it because the sinhalese government never treated us tamil people the same what are we slaves or something that is our country we have equal rights which we never got so we do got to fight for it...
The problem for the government is that the tigers are using innocent tamils who are our brothers and sisters as a human shield. If the tigers really care for their own people they should either surrender or take that cyanide tablet which they are carying around their necks and let the innocent peopl go without more bloodshed. Atleast the gov. is doing their best for the innocent civilians
gimme a break from your holier than thou preaching. Been there and seen what happened. I am from northeast and I know what the heck went on. Save your propaganda for some naive dude. thanks
well u r a good sinhalese ... but u v to knw the real reson beshind this..LTTE is a product of our wrongdoings in the past .if we had choosen tamil and english as official lanuages in addition to sinhala and if we dint restrict tamils from entering the universities and let them help develop the nation this problem won even happen..
I do not agree with this I think its all in your mind. We all must realise that most sri lankans are sinhala buddhists. Therefore we the minority must adapt to live harmoniously with the majority like we all do when we live in other parts of the world. God bless you , try to live without hard feelings, nobody thinks that tamils are slaves.
just becoz we are the majority we dont have to deny the culturel and language rights of Tamils ..and hey come on tamils tried more than 20 years to get them equal right after 1948 ...then only they took up arms. i dont want justify the acts of LTTE but LTTE is made by SWRD JR and his henchmen with the help of the buddhist clergy (im talkin about the fake monks denying the rights of minorities)
