@SLwootwootUK Yeah, I'm sure. 'Cause the name "Ceylon" is from the vernacular pronounciation of the Sanskrit "Sinha/singh" ("lion"), which they would have said as "Sihalam" or something like that. So "Ceylon" would have naturally been a corruption of it. The Chinese were aware of the name "Ceylon" since at least the 3rd century, about 700 years or so before any precise European knowledge of that island. But then again, the Chinese often confused Sri Lanka with the rest of the subcontinent.
bring the Lankan state to it's knees !!.. guess what fucker !! we brought the FUCKING TAMIL ELAM SUPPORTERS TO THEIR FUCKING KNEES AND THEN KILLED THEM HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
i dont understand the tamils, they have a land three times our countrys size and they wants to carve srilanka up. why? i also think its wrong for sinhalese to discriminate against tamils but srilanka is a tiny country and it cannot afford to be carved up. Why cant both tamils and sinhalese grow up and learn to live together as many countries do with their various nationalities
india isnt 'tamil's land' - sri lankan tamils have LIVED in sri lanka since colonial times, its their home, their life. thats like telling canadian english to get up and go back to england. in response to why they cant just grow up, these are very grown up people trying to find a solution - but when a war dates back 50 yrs, finding the root cause and solving it is impossible, because there are 10s of causes for the war and anger and sadness on both sides. its not that simple..
There is no oil in sri lanka, therefore the U.S. and U.N. do not care whatsoever ! Let Indians keep killing themselves. Divide and conquer is the key ! Sad , but true. !
The U.S. is concerned only with one thing: Profit and Money. Sri lanka is unfortunately not on their radar. Dude , i mean no disrepect, I have many sri lankan friends.
the Problem began with the sinhalese,the poor Tamils of ceylon are branded terrorists for fighting RIGHTEOUSNESS and the brutal butchers are branded the righteous
Very complicated problem . National library atatck was a mistake and moreover teh state sponsored violence one more mistake Where are we going !! Let GOD intervene her
infact India faces threat from both Christian missioneries and Muslim Merceneries.
all this is for someones political agenda. it is the common people irrespective of the religion, nationality, should defend their rights. and through away these gansters just like in Nepal they showed the way for us to follow
tiger air-force fired 32 bombs, both cluster and bunker busters and lttp fired more than 200 artillery shells, wiping out more than 30 maaweera-families along the Iranaippaalai Ananthanpuram Road where humanitarian institutions including orphanages, houses of displaced and elders were located, TamilNet correspondent in Vanni reported on Thursday. More than 180 huts were destroyed in the massive bombardment. Meanwhile, 24 makkal-padai were killed in Puthukkudiyiruppu in lttp artillery barrage.
Vinayagam, Pagalavan, Cader, Kannan, Annavelan are all dead now.
Our hard earned money.
I sent $200 every month to Prabakaran for the last 10 years totaling $24,000. What happened to all of them? I can build a new house in the North for that money.
SLA please dont break all the buildings and the houses.
When the war is over Canada will pack all the refugees back to Sri Lanka. We have to come back to Sri Lanka and live in the North. Karuna please help the Tamil people
@xterker23 tell me, who was the first person that Prabakaran killed? was he a sinhalese, or a tamil? Because if I wanted to start a struggle against the majority, I would have started it by killing people that I hate the most....so ironical isnt it?
"War is not a solution to a problem it itself a problem". I do not understand why these people are fighting when there is a model solution which works perfectly in India. India a Federal Republic is diverse in many aspects, particularly different languages which seems to be the root cause here. Inclusiveness is the answer, if Tamil Nadu a Tamil state can contribute significantly to India's uplift as an emerging superpower then it will work in Srilanka also. "Live & Let others live in peace".
Yes, you can't make an omelette without 'sacrificing' some eggs! They may say. Even if they can't digest it, they sweep it under the carpet, not to damage the 'greater cause'. Time is running out. It is time Tamils act before LTTE 'paved paradise and put up a' gigantic Great Heroes cemetery. Or even worse... a mass grave!
LTTE annulled all the marriages from July 2006, making them null and void. Now brides and grooms are dragged from their homes against their will to undergo military training. So much for the matches made in heaven!
LTTE is warning the families not to talk to anyone about the abductions. Besides, it would be a futile battle against a monstrous Goliath, simply exposing the whole family to LTTE wrath, jeopardizing their safety. Nowhere to turn, many choose to cry in silence.
UN Secr.Gen. Ban Ki-moon expressed deep concern over escalating violence in northern Sri Lanka and the humanitarian impact of the clashes on civilians. The South Asian nation's Government has requested that United Nations relief workers relocate from areas witnessing conflict. Mr. Moon-Ki-Ban reminds all concerned of their responsibility to take active steps to ensure the safety and freedom of movement of civilians, allowing humanitarian organizations to do their work in safety
to helabanda, you're doing us a favor with showing how racism and stupidity has eaten your brains away. Mano ganesan (who is a human rights activist) is about to be arrested by the sri lankan police (TID). it's time to stop the Rajapakse clan and get them convicted for not only genocide on tamils but also for killing, torturing, intimidating journalists, preachers, and people like Mano Ganesan.

All I know is Sri Lanka desperately needs peace. Sinhalese, Tamils and other ethnic groups need to unite, put aside all hatred and violence. This conflict has brought nothing but further bloodshed and divides between Sinhalese and Tamils. Can't we all just get along?
Send the Racist Singhala Retards to Hell! These Singhala Racists are the cause of this war and the war will continue until Racist singhala policies are stopped!These Singhala cunts need to be stopped!
From whom are you begging you pathetic imbecile?

now Sri Lanka is a secured country except LTTE terror ,so why you guys talking bulshit about LTTE? Get the fout of there if you think its not secured for Tamils, I have ,and had lot of Tamil friends they never said wht you guys are saying,.
NOW there is no discrimination for Tamils OK now everthing is fine and this video talking about history, You fin tamils in the internet suggest a reasonable answer , why cant you take all those tamils to your England or Canada? Or Send them to Tamilnadu if you think Sri Lanka is non secured for them. YOU fin idiots.
no white people are thepeople who build this world..gave poor indian mathematicians prizes..and brought the earth to this state..they sent rockets they made steel ships..sinhalese people must have treated tamil people better. but tamil people can't be on top it is not going to be tolerated by sinhalese who were struggiling for the country for years..n who made the cultural value in sri lanka
hey we could have treated the rich culture of tamil people..and now there is war..but just imagine when you were little your sister got more love from parents how did you feel?..these things happen in humans..suiinhalese people did not want tamil people to trule the sinhalese country,,...but i think we could have understood atleast the value of your carnetic music n treat yiu better,,..now there is war..
-Your sinhala gov killed thousand of tamils in 1956,1958,1972,1977,1983
-1949 - Indian Tamil plantation workers disenfranchised.
-Sri Lankan Police burned the JAFFNA PUBLIC library
-Sri Lankan Gov introduce? Sinhala Only Act

When India is 30-40% Moslem we will see how well it will work against those who would like to see a greater Pakistan.
Hindus shoud take the example of the LTTE and apply it in their own nation.....defend Hindustan, and never endhure the terrorism from ISI again.
