>Why do Sinhalese care about Jaffna?!!!
Final question.
Why do Jaffna tamils care about Batticalo and East ? We were *never* considered a part of Jaffna kingdom, we were treated as broken tamil speaking people.
For decades this was the pathetic reality, now we are just used as shields to protect jaffna extremists eelam. If these Panam Kottai loosers think they can win the war, let them fight and get them selves killed with lankan army, thats not a problem of eastern people..

WE DONT HATE MUSLIM BROTHERS. IF THEY DONT COOPERATE WITH JAFFNA TAMILS ONE DAY THEY WIL SURELY FIGHT TO GET A SEPARATE PLACE. OR BEG PRABAHARAN TO HELP THEM.

Now this LTTE people think they know much better Tamil than Indian Tamils.
Hum... may be Tamils were originated in northern Sri Lanka and migrated to India from there some Tamils again migrated back to east to create this eastern group of tamils.Very funny!

Jaffna tamils speak different dialogue(accent) than other tamils. I surprised that some sri lankans did not know about it. if speak Jaffna dialogue(accent), they are called as Jaffna tamils.
For example, Americans speak different dialogue(accent) , and English speak different dialogue, but all are called as English language

My personal openion is that Srilankan's speak better english than Britishers.
Remember language is only a mode of communication. How you speak does not matter as long as the message could be conveyed.

What? In you dreams sis! If you think the eastern tamils will bow down to the northen hegemony lead by pirphaharan and his thugs, you are living in a real dream world.
How dare you thik that we eastern people dont have our pride ? We dont need to beg anybody, our freedom, we will achieve by whatever the means.
Had karuna annai given a chance to operate seperately, i am sure he would had developed the eastern lanka as an golden eastern eelam.. Now we dont want any of your eelam crap..
And my dear jaffna friends, you are not in a position to say your tamil is better than us and you speak the written tamil, etc and etc..
In short, we dont want your tamil, our tamil is good for us and your tamil is good for you, so you better get a heck out of east...
If you dont like our tamil, why you living in East doing business ???

Fishermen attack Tamil Tiger office in northern Sri Lanka
18th Feb 2005
A group of fishermen attacked a Tamil Tiger rebel office in Sri Lanka on Friday, demanding the release of three fishermen allegedly abducted by the guerrillas, the military said.

The angry fishermen hurled stones at the rebel office in Mannar, a government-held town about 220 kilometers (135 miles) north of Colombo. They accused the Tigers of abducting three fishermen after shooting at some fishing boats that defied the rebels' orders not to go to sea on Thursday.

It was not clear why the rebels ordered the fishermen not to go to sea. Amaran, a Tiger cadre in Mannar, confirmed the attack on the rebels' office but declined further comment. Amaran uses only one name.
The Tigers have a reputation for ruthlessness, and few have dared resist their orders during Sri Lanka's two-decade civil war. Since a Norway-brokered cease-fire signed in 2002, the Tigers are permitted to do political work in government-controlled areas.

A spokeswoman for European cease-fire monitors, Helen Olafsdottir, confirmed the fishermen's attack, and said she was awaiting more details.

The Tamil Tigers fought the government since 1983 in an attempt to create a separate state for ethnic minority Tamils, accusing the majority Sinhalese of discrimination. About 65,000 people were killed in the conflict.

The cease-fire continues to hold even though government-rebel peace talks broke down in April 2003 and have since been stalled

Mr Gnanaratam,
Some times If you would be interesting in jughead question, You may answer the question.
gnanaratnam posted March 09, 2005 12:37 PM
First I would like to address this to Priyatharshini.Nobody has to beg anyone.You can have your own opininion,but do not let it sound as though all Tamils are in support of you.Please do not point fingers.The Tamils in the east are tamils who speak and write the same language.Why else would we call them Tamils or how did they come to be known as Tamils.If they speak Tamil with a slightly different accent it does not mean they are any different to the people of the north.As fo karuna - he became powerfull in the east and because he was a man of the east he wanted to become the hero/leader of the east on his own independent terms.Was it then another eelam he was asking?
Thankyou

Karuna wants liberation from LTTE who says Tamils are being oppressed by Sinhalese.
How come Karuna don't want liberation from Sinhalese then?

I am very confused.
Does this indicate that the reasons for LTTE war is fake and manufactured by LTTE to gain the control?
Kandyan posted March 09, 2005 02:41 PM
"How come Karuna don't want liberation from Sinhalese then?"
First of all, I am doubtful Karuna could defeat the LTTE on his own. India could not, SL army could not, so Karuna surely cannot. Karuna probably hopes to form some sort of alliance with SLG, to get rid of LTTE. After that, he intends to turn against SLG, and try to form the same kind of Eelam Prabhakaran did, only an Eelam ruled by Eastern Tamils. Of course, before any of this happened, he would have to get rid of the LTTE, which I am very doubtful he could do. If war began again, LTTE would decimate Karuna's forces at some point.

Fisherman's attack on Tamil Tiger office(mannar)
The news by Jughead says -3 Fisherman were abducted because they defied the orders of the Tigers asking them not to go fishing on that Thursday.
1.What is not clear is why they were asked not to go fishing.
2.Why on that Thursday.
3.Helen.O - is not clear too about this and is wating for info.
Hopefully Jughead will give the latest release on this then I guess we will have a healthy forum on this for sure.
I hope the men have been released.

"First of all, I am doubtful Karuna could defeat the LTTE on his own."
I don't think it is his intension. Perhaps only in East.
"India could not, SL army could not, so Karuna surely cannot."
Well, anything can be defeated. It depends on at what cost.
"he intends to turn against SLG"
Perhaps to run for or with SLG.
"If war began again, LTTE would decimate Karuna's forces at some point. "
Perhaps Karuna has no force. His intentions may be through international pressure.
It is possible Karuna will get back with LTTE.
gnanaratnam posted March 09, 2005 03:50 PM
Kandyan I agree on some points with you.Take a look at this.
1.SLA knows that some Batti Tamils have a grouse about the tamils of the north.They worked hard on that one.
2.Karuna was given the LTTE command in Batti so that he will have a better command in that area purely because he was a man of the area.
3.He had built a great force that the police and the army feared.
4.The SLA soon worked upon this 'batti tamil saga'.Karuna's position with the LTTE went to his head.He was highly trusted by Pirapakaran.
5.with the SLA it was a two way street,where Karuna fell for the red herring.
6.At the same time Karuna was the only one who was allowed to collect funds directly from international Batti donors/apart from a staggering amount of funds he recieved from vanni.
6.Karuna made a move to send his wife and family to singapore before he defected.(medical)Pirapakaran -OK.
6 what we hear is and now out in the open -karuna siphoned monies into his private international fund. 7.The intelligence arm of the LTTE stumbled on this(karuna's own donors info) and went into a serious probe into these allegations
9.When he was ordered to go to the Vanni for an inquiry he defected.
10.He found refuge with the SLA in their camp in Batti.
11.When the war started at Vakarai etc karuna had the blessings of the SLA.
12.When CBK and SLA were accused of giving refuge after all the killings that karuna was carrying out they denied.Karuna was then accompanied by ANURA.B to Singapore.
13.Karuna was interviewed so was Anura.They both denied they had gone together.
He is back and seeking SLA backing.
Karuna at the height of his carrier with LTTE was sent to the Peace Talks held in Tokyo.The former Brigadier of Batticaloa was sent as a Govt delegate.A journalist seing both of them sipping tea and chatting happily between the conference questioned Karuna.
J.-Karuna a couple of years ago you almost blew up this Brigadiers' entire convoy.(brigadier narrowly escaped the land mine but many unfotunately died)How is it you are happily chatting to him now.?
k.-This is a Peace environment,we are here to talk Peace.If the Brigadier returns and wants war in Batti I will be ready to meet him again.
Thats how confident he was within the LTTE.
Iam not being happy about this situation.It shows the workings of peoples minds.K.trusted the government that promised him help and perhaps hopes of another Eelam and a better life for the Batti Tamils.!Now its a stale mate.If Batti felt neglected, the monies were going elsewhere.supporters of Karuna will not accept this,it is natural for them to be otherwise. we only have to wait and see where this will take us all.
Thankyou

some of the conclusions are based on this line 6. for some eyes this may not be credible enough given the fact most of intra tamil elimination has that similarity. I donot know whether you purposefully used words "what we hear is " because of that.

Look at it this way.Many people tried to understand karuna.he was a hardened warrior,given the highest regard,trust and prominence by Pirapakaran.One of the top 4 in the group.
Why did he have to defect?.

Wrong, its only in the peace process the LTTE can make much impact BEHIND THE BACKS OF ARMY PROTECTION!
Once LTTe start the war, they loose all the protection of the army.
Currently, shameless army groups giving protection to LTTE northen suckers!!!
When the war starts, you will understand things in a different way.

gnanaratnam posted March 11, 2005 12:14 PM
Dear Jughead,
You seem to have missed some of my points.I have a lot of regard for Karuna as a warrior who fought his battles very courageously for the sake of all the TAMILS.All Tamils have this memory.Up untill the time he defected we all fought as one.Unfortunately he fell for the instigations of the SLA/government and some tamils in the eastern province who had led him in the wrong path.Iam not speaking for any other Tamil but for mysself.Tamils are Tamils.Whether we live in Mattakillapu.Yarlpanam or Thirukonamalai or elsewhere in Sri lanka.So Jughead tell me,why are we fighting a different battle.We have to work together to achieve autonomy.If
we are divided we will certainly fall.I have seen other singhalese on this page firing up the tamils from the east against the North.Do you see what their plan is?.Like in the south we have had differences,we have to rise above this.Do you think if Karuna fought his own battle,with or without SLA he will ever achieve autonomy for only the East?.I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this.
Thankyou

Ok Gratnam, i think you have misunderstood me.
>Unfortunately he fell for the instigations >of the SLA/government and some tamils in >the eastern province who had led him in the >wrong path
Ok bro, were you in Batticaloa at that time at that time ? Where were you in Batticaloa?
He did not fell of the instigation of SLA or the goverment but to the tamil people in eastern province.
Specially mothers and sisters who wanted him to leave LTTE, specially because of the intense child recruitment issue as well as the underhand work of Pottu Amman's gang in East.
You remember how eastern mothers and sisters were burning the effigies of pirbha and pottu after he left the organization.
Did you see the hatred in those eyes of eastern mothers and sisters ??? Maybe its because that they dont "like" LTTE , huh?
>Tamils are Tamils.Whether we live in >Mattakillapu.Yarlpanam or Thirukonamalai or >elsewhere in Sri lanka.
Ok , With you i agree since you have shown your respect to Annai. But I am telling you, why are the Mattakillapu Makkal always get the step mothers treatment?
Anyway, I dont agree with the work of LTTE, they are a pain not only for eastern people even for northen people.

jughead posted March 11, 2005 08:08 PM
>Do you think if Karuna fought his own >battle,with or without SLA he will ever >achieve autonomy for only the East
Eitherway, Eastern people are loosing.
Frankly, I dont think Eelam concept is a concept of Eastern people. Anyway, ok fine, Eelam sari. BUT I dont think i nor most people in East want to live under an LTTE control Eelam,we dont want to live as slaves?? Living together with Lanka or Eelam make a little difference to Batticaloa people.. As long as our region is developed, its fine.(Batticaloa people are not blinded with nationalism like certain jaffna tamils, singhalas and certain muslims.. They are most peaceful people!!!!!!!!!)
But LTTE and their Eelam concept will not let us to develop East. Someday or other when LTTE start war 'needlessly' with SLA as they did in the past.. Most the children in our baby brigades are going to die, and eastern mothers dont want that to happen.
Anyway, are you aware of the fact that its the East which always hated the brother-brother killing ... We witnessed what LTTE and TELO (even EPRLF, PLOTE) were doing to each other. We hated this brother-brother eastern killings. Do you know that first ever eastern leader left LTTE due to the same reason of LTTE killing own eastern TELO brothers??
As like Rajani would put it, look at the pathetic existance of us tamil nation because of LTTE ????? Are you telling me to look at the lame list Myna post on the so called "achievements" of LTTE and be happy??
Those things are of a microscopic amount comparing to all the negative aspects!

Where did i say this ?

See , this is the punch bag to stir up eastern tamils all the time. This was a major reason for my initial support for LTTE.
After some research i can tell you this.
THese incidents take place all the time. If you look at colonization , look at jaffna tamils everywhere in south and east. (which are ofcourse not forceful)
If you want to look at forceful colonization, look at all muslims and singhala chased away from jaffna..
BTW,this war had displaced tamils and made indirect colonizations than anything, dont you think so ?

What autonomy ?
Its rather a rule of a lame oppresive rule of SLG is replaced by excessive oppressive rule of LTTE.
In 1995, Afghanistan replaced the oppresive landlords to Taliban in order for liberation. What happened ?
This is a frequent happening in the history, dictors and extremists like Talibans , Sadaam using the popular sentiments of people to come into power!
We tamils must be watchful! Else, the existance of tamil nation is under a huge threat!

Jughead,if what you say, is your conviction that Batticaloa will be free of the North and LTTE then thats what you want and your belief is that you will achieve it, you and I and the rest of us will have to live to see that.

He is a revolutionary leader! You are using a negative rhetoric of �defection� to support your preconcived notion.
Anyway, do you REALLY believe that he is just one man who �defected� ?
wonder why he is having so much support in Batticaloa and Amaparai and LTTE guys
and the eastern traitors who sucks and destroy our nation are being beaten a heck out of eastern homeland ?
As long as you believe that Kauna is one man , you will not be able to resolve the problem. If you understand about LTTE and the harm they did to east, you will find the anti northen sentiments of people very much justified!
Anyway, I do agree that Northen and Eastern people need to unite in fighting LTTE!

Sri Lanka lags behind in intellectual property rights game
Businesses in developing countries are increasingly getting into the intellectual property rights game but Sri Lanka is still lagging behind.
Only 315 patent applications were made in Sri Lanka last year and nearly half were by foreign companies looking to sell their products in the local market.
"There were 120 local applications for patents, but this is still very low. It shows low innovation," says Director General of the National Intellectual Property Office(NIPO), D M Karunaratne.
Foreign patents are mostly for pharmaceuticals and are regularly renewed, indicating commercially thriving products.
Out of the few local patent applications less than 10 percent are renewed.
"Local companies are more active in the trademark area, because that is directly linked to trading activity," says Karunaratne.
NIPO registers around 6,000 trade mark applications annually for the past two or three years.
"Around 25 percent of the applications are foreign, but a majority are by local companies. Even SME have begun to apply for trademarks now," says NIPO.
But getting monopoly rights for products through patents is big business in the rest of the world with even developing countries joining the race.
On Wednesday the World Intellectual Property Office(WIPO) announced its first one million international patents with applications from developing countries shooting up by 23 percent.
Interest in patenting is expected to grow further in Asia this year, with China set to overtake Australia to become the twelfth largest user of the international patent registration system.
Last year a record number of applications, just over 120,000, were filed using the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
Under the PCT system, companies can send in just one application to get protection for their inventions in over one hundred PCT member countries.
In Asia, South Korean companies made the most number of applications for international patents under the PCT followed by China and India.
Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics from the Republic of Korea, Huawei Technologies from China and Ranbaxy Laboratories of India were the biggest Asian applicants.
However, US inventors and industry claimed the most number of innovations world wide and represented nearly 35 percent of all international patent applications in 2004.
The single largest number of applications for international patents came from the Dutch multinational Philips Electronics, followed by Matsushita of Japan and Siemens of Germany.

Son of-a-feces infected whore terminator has declined the challenge and run off with his mouth stuck between his arse. Thats all these hypocrites are good for; making sweeping statements & then scampering off in a hurry when presented with the real facts.

Sri lanka lags on intelectual property issue?
Right, you mean LTTE want the patent for sucide bombs of underage kids ?
I just read this Kadir's opinion
When I visited Jaffna not too long after the ceasefire agreement in 2002, I asked one of my friends about life in Jaffna. He replied: there are four kinds people who make up Jaffna. The first person has relatives in the West, and money is not an issue for him. Jaffna�s economy runs on remittances from the West. Whether the cost of living goes up, or whether the army returns the property in the High Security Zones or whether the LTTE extorts, does not matter - this person can always ask his relatives in the West to send the necessary money. The second person is the Jaffna middle class, a professional, a bureaucrat, a teacher, a NGO employee. The second person will focus on educating the children and reproducing their position in Jaffna society. The third person may have two acres of land, to plough enough to eke out a living, may own a couple boats, or a store and can somehow make ends meet. The third person�s wealth and skills are not transferable and is unable to leave Jaffna, but has survived the war with a livelihood. The fourth person has nothing and perhaps comes from the oppressed caste. It is the fourth person�s daughters and sons that the LTTE will try and recruit into its ranks, it is the fourth person that is mobilized by the LTTE for its hartals, tire burnings and protests in front of the army sentry points. It is the fourth person that will also resist, as with the fishermen�s struggles against the LTTE. The fourth person has nothing to lose.

Sri Lanka lags behind in intellectual property rights game.
You are correct. Compare other countries, we do not interest to invent any thing. I do not know why. It does not mean that we are less intelligence than other country people. America does invent more patents than any country, but also not successful patents in commercial markets. UK and Germany used to be invent a lot of things in the past, but very few UK patents are sucessful in commercial market.
How ever, now third world countries (or developing countries) are affected by free market(or free trade). By free trade, Consumers get benefit as cheap and quality products, but people will loose local jobs from local industries , and local industries may not survive with its competion.
Point view of LTTE and technology. I heard of that they do manage lot of things themselves with advance technology. Quite interesting. I think that all are behind Jaffna brains. when I read histroy of Inventions, most of pioneering inventions were invented during past wars among people in the past world histroy. Simple point is that it is necessary for surviving.
How ever, commemt about thoppi piratti, clearly remark about Muslim and their action towards other communities, of course tamil word and tamil invention.
Already I said in the forum, I did not meet any muslim in my place, Jaffna and my school. When I was at Peradeniya, small numbers of Eastern Muslims were in my badge, they speak tamils, but not like us,and they were killing tamil language when they spoke tamil. How ever, they studied in tamil medium. Any way, I need to point out that Abdhul Hammed speaks as Good Tamil as Jaffna tamil even Ceylon muslim and He was Broadcaster and News reader in Ceylon Radio in Tamil services. He is well known person and respected person among ceylon tamils including Jaffna Tamils, and also LTTE. Because his way of speaking tamil is very amazing. I think that now He does tv programme in South Indian Tamil TV and well known person among all tamils in the world.
By the way, I do not have too much knowledge about Islam. Within my knowledge, I do not prefer personally some aspects of Islam and their culture. How ever, there are lot of divisions in their culture and faith among muslims and Islam. Am I offend any body?, Please excuse me

LTTE tries to package the misery of the 4th person to justify and market Terrorism for fake freedom struggle.
4th category is common to Sri Lanka regardless of the race. The truth of the matter is that they never get their fair share no matter who comes to power.
When the resources trickle down from the top to the bottom, the pockets of those who stay on top is deep and will never reach those who stay at the bottom - Law of Nature.

I rated you high among other racial minded people here.
You let me down.
We should respect all races, religions, cultures.
This is the root cause all our problem in SL.
