Lankan pilgrims attacked in Chennai

Indian LTTE terrorist group?? Where do you get this from?

"Indian Peace Keeping Force was the Indian military contingent performing a peacekeeping operation in Sri Lanka between 1987 and 1990. It was formed under the mandate of the Indo-Sri Lankan Accord signed between India and Sri Lanka in 1987 that aimed to end the Sri Lankan Civil War between militant Sri Lankan Tamil nationalists such as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan military.
The main task of the IPKF was to disarm the different militant groups, not just the LTTE. It was to be quickly followed by the formation of an Interim Administrative Council. These were the as per the terms of the accord signed between India and Sri Lanka, at the behest of Rajiv Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India. Given the escalating level of the conflict in Sri Lanka, and with the pouring of refugees into India, Rajiv Gandhi, took the decisive step to push this accord through. The IPKF was inducted into Sri Lanka on the request of then-Sri Lankan president J. R. Jayewardene under the terms of the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord."

In the final phase of the war, President Mahinda Rajapaksa “went out of his way” to keep New Delhi briefed about all the developments. “He understood that while other countries could mount pressure on us through diplomatic channels or economic means, only India could influence the military campaign,” he said. India was managed by establishing “clear communications line” at the very highest level, said Mr. Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

She probably meant Indian "LTTE Terrorist " supporters

I've read her posts before. She has a good holdover what she writes and I'm sure she meant what she wrote. Besides, she doesn't hold back her punches

BTW ethnic cleansing should be used against all Pathans while fighting taliban, them traitors historically have no value for human life anyway!

riggght, nice try kiddo.

only difference is, Pathans themselves have been cooperating with the state; the main political party that represents KP/FATA is in line with the Center, i.e. part of the government. Meaning they are not in rebellion.


i do agree that any individual or groups of individuals who take up arms against the state and its people --- they should be eliminated, if necessary. I prefer that they put their arms down and act sensibly. But if they don't, they should get what's coming to them.


amazing how even now, none of you bhartis are willing to grow a sack and condemn the war waged against Sri Lanka by the LTTE!

The Indian LTTE terrorists' supporters were bound to attack Sri Lankans in India since sri lankans defeated Indian LTTE terrorist group

They were common people of Tamil Nadu. Attack in Chennai was wrong. but Yes, Tamil people are very angry with Sri Lankan act. SL killed 40,000 Tamil people very brutally by Mass Rape and Genocide if you have seen Video. LTTE was destroyed years back. But What Sri lankan Government did to Common Poor Tamil people of North Sri Lanka was complete Genocide. Check the Video, Most of the countries including US has condemn at highest level. Our Indian government is Crap, Senseless and useless who is not taking any action against SL.

Are you condoning this attack? What does a regular Sri Lankan have to do with what the army is doing or how the minorities are suffering?

No, I'm not condoning this attack, but its also the responsibility of the visitor not to place themselves in harms way. I as an Indian will not go to areas damaged by TTP as rightly or wrongly many people in Pakistan believe that India is behind TTP and I may find myself in harms way. Also I don't think there are many Jews visiting Arab/Muslim countries because of the general ant-Jewish feeling in these countries.

 

[blood]

"bound to happen" ehhh???

sounds like some people here condone such actions. Perhaps Sri Lanka needs to issue travel advisory to its citizens planning travel to india, even for spiritual purposes?

yeah and advice them to visit pakistan after what happened with their crickters in lahore, the lankans are not foolish , they understand the difference between tamil nadu and the rest of india .
on topic-- the culprits should be arrested immediately , political parties in tamil nadu have always used the ltte issue for their political milege .

Why the hell are they coming to India when no one is inviting that also in Tamil Nadu. we are are also not going there. After seeing the Video, I hate SL and I can't even imagine going to SL even in my dreams. Yes, Historical Culture and religion is same. But that should not be the criteria.

They should go to Pakistan and Kindly don't come to India. Break all relation with India. We give dam about this.

They don't have a choice dude.Remember they were pilgrims. They were either visiting religious places in TN or were availing the cheap fares between Colombo and CHennai (Forthe record it's only Rs.2000. Even Chennai to Bangalore is Rs.3000 plus). Besides, I know a lot of Tamilians who have married Sinhalese and keep shuttling between SL and India.
We should not keep countries like the Arab nations as a criteria. We are above such tactics. It seriously is a big blow to India's image.

Why the hell are they coming to India ?? we are re also not going there. After seeing the Video, I hate SL and I can't even imagine going to SL even in my dreams. Yes, Historical Culture and religion is same. But that should not be criteria.

Are you kidding me??? What does an average SL citizen have to do with anything. And it's a beautiful country and people there actually are quite warm to Indians. And Indians do give a Damn about SL. If not for Traditional reasonsthen for economic. Every second container ship to Eastern India comes via Colombo. They are one of the most important kegs in International trade for us and have been extremely co-operative.

dude it is not that easy , countries like china or pakistan could use lanka to hurt india , china is already building ports in lanka, it is small and powerless nation but it holds a strategic position in indian ocean and most importantly it is our neighbour , so we will have to maintain good relations with sri lanka

I agree we have to maintain good relation. But it should be mutually and not 1 side affair. What would happened if we Killed 40,000 Sri lankan in India ??

As far as Port -It will hurt SL 10 times more by making India as Enemy. 1 Port will be worthless and matter of seconds in case of War. They are also aware of this fact. Too much of softens is a sign of weakness.

According to your logic the Serbs were also not doing any ethnic cleansing of Muslims during the Balkan War. They were merely' eradicating militants who were armed and fighting the state' even if that involve shelling, sniping & shooting unarmed men, women & children. Then I don't understand why Muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular gets so emotional about Balkan wars afterall it was just a case if state defending against militants/separatists.

what a ridiculous example.....and besides, it wasn't just Muslims being ethnically cleansed. Look at the Croats -- many of whom were Catholic Christians I believe

the situation in Balkans was even more complicated, I would say.

we dont need to advise them, because we know they'll be back regardless.....

and yes, it is true many political parties were actively supporting LTTE which was a purely internal affair of Sri Lanka.....

Not really. You need to speak to a Tamilian to understand that for them Tamil culture and community is placed above all else. Believe it or not they place it over religion and don't care for state or national boundaries. You'd be hard pressed to find a proper Hindi speaking person there. For the political parties in TN, it was extremely easy and natural to bring the SL issue to the forefront. Helps them garner Tamil votes.
Having said that, apart from the LTTE, there is an ethnic minority of Tamil civilians who were living in LTTE controlled areas. The collateral damage that occurred seems to have been intentional. Soldiers do get carried away in the heat of war, but the brutality that was documented was horrific and unacceptable.

This just shows your double standard.

Serbs killing Muslims......Bad, but

Sinhalese killing Tamils............Good.

Tamils were fighting for their own homeland inside SL while Muslims in Bosnia were also doing the same. The former is wrong but the later is right. You are just allowing your anti-India hate to blind your judgement on the plight of Tamils in SL.
