UN envoy concludes Sri Lanka execution video authentic

i agree with your pov..i really have no idea why the Indian members are opposing Srilanka so much..thats a bit of hypocrisy on their part.....
if you look at the history indian peace keeping force(IPKF) which was sent on around 1987 to maintain peace between srilankans and tamil group was also associated with a large number of massacres of tamils..the so called human right abuses:look at the links below

Jaffna hospital massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1989 Valvettiturai massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks for the info. I found this part the most interesting.

1989 Valvettiturai massacre happened on 2nd and 3 August 1989 at a small coastal town called Valvettiturai, in Jaffna peninsula, in Sri Lanka where approximately 64 minority Sri Lankan Tamil civilians were killed by the soldiers belonging to the Indian Peace Keeping Force. The massacre followed an attack on the soldiers by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam cadres. The rebel attack had left 6 Indian soldiers including an officer dead and another 10 injured. Indian authorities claimed that the civilians were caught in a cross fire

This pattern of guerilla ambush and army civilian reprisal is as old as time. It is just the hard fact of guerilla warfare. It happened with the Wehrmacht in Russia, it happened when Alexander cross Afghanistan, it happened when the IJA was in China, and it happened when the Americans were in Vietnam.


What's changed now is the coverups that has to be done for the sake of international opinion.
 
i believe that indians should leave this unnecessary criticism of srilanka and support them in the hour of need..atleast they got rid of the terrorists

^^You are not a tamil you wont know our pain....india is as much responsible as lanka in this mess...we tamils denounced support for LTTE after our beloved leader rajiv got killed by those scums is this how you guys pay us back? about the bolded part they also got rid of many innocent tamils too .Members from tamil nadu take note of how our northern "brothers" are blatantly supporting lankans on this issue :cry:.

Hope you are happy to see these "terrorists" dead

thank you india we will never forget :angry:
 
What makes the Tamil Tiger case interesting is the dissonance between state policy and ethnic sympathies. The government and certainly the Nehru-Gandhi ruling family wanted India to play the international statesman, managing the conflict and appearing to be powerful and unbiased arbitrators, despite the obvious ethnic sympathies (perhaps seeing this as a sign of a modern and ethnically blind state).

But it was not a realistic stance to take considering the internal tensions and still very much ethnocentric mentality.
 
Whatever, we knew stuff like this happened with or without the video. It's impossible that executions like this would not happen in a bitter civil war. Besides we are talking about people who used women as suicide bombers.

That's a very lame attempt at justification, Frodo Baggins.

Best skip the part where I justified the actions of the Indian army then since I am so 'lame' at it.

Not really a question of right or wrong, it is just the way it is, considering how ethnocentric the world really is. Places like America and Canada are abnormal in that we are deliberately ethnicity blind, I personally like it this way but these principles are no where near universal.
 
It seems to me that you are rarely welcomed in Sri Lanka.

First of all, I like Sri lanka and Srilankans and nothing against that nation, i have got some good srilankan friends who are studying and working in hyderabad.

Iam very critical of Srilankan gov and some internet warriors here who are reveling in the killing of innocent Tamils during the War.I totally supported Srilanka in wiping out the LTTE, but how in- human of them to murder innocent women and Children just because of their ethnicity.Even now after the war is over, Srilankan gov and so-called nationalists are not ready to accept a political solution(13th amendment) which will effectively put an end to the Tamil problem just because they think accepting 13th amendment will be a victory for Tamils.

These are the salient points of 13th amendment :

• In addition to Sinhala, Tamil 'shall also be an official language' of Sri Lanka, with English as a 'link language'
• The north and east to be merged into one province, subject to a referendum
• Provincial councils to be elected every five years
• A governor with executive powers to be appointed by the president in each province
• Provincial high courts to be established
• 'Reserved' and 'Provincial' lists detail powers of the centre and the provinces respectively. A 'Concurrent' list outlines shared powers, though ultimate authority for these issues remains with Parliament
• Financial provision for the provinces to be directed by Parliament
• Provincial councils can be over-ruled by regulations promulgated by the president under the Public Security Ordinance.

and on the top of it, these so-called intelligentsia of Srilanka are thinking they can play the China card to force india to stop pushing for a political solution.Atleast their gov is not so foolish and they know they need the support of india.

P.S: Iam not a Tamilian.But did my graduation from TN.
