Muralitharan Bio Pic And The Storm In Tamil Nadu

To clarify your questions.
I am Sri Lankan Tamil. I have my own resentment & anger for what happened during the civil war in Sri Lanka. No one can deny that. As a Tamil originated from Sri Lanka & a UN staff, worked in the front line for the war victims that time, I know how terrible it was.

A person who went through this directly or indirectly would never want this to happen again even in their wildest dream. All we want is to move on, live peacefully in Srilanka as a SRILANKAN like how peacefully you all are living in India as Indians despite differences. Period.
So we kindly request you "don't politicise our problems" for your own selfish agenda.

You have Kashmir, Assam and many other issues where killing, discrimination, rape and all happen for your info.
Your own umbilical cord relations live in the hill countries of Srilanka with so much issues too. For a change raise your voice for them.

As an educated and exposed individual i recognise the fact that, it takes 2 parties to fight in a war.
War crimes including rapes, forced recruitment, killing disappearance and child abuses have been conducted by both parties, and they have been well documented in many international reports including UN reports. Both have been equally criminalized for war crimes. Just because one party is no longer present, doesn't mean they have no responsibility towards the crimes they conducted. Period.

Srilankan Government's ruthless killing & war crimes are very popular. I don't deny that. They must face the consequences too. And they are taking conscious efforts to build the trust among Tamils towards reconciliation.

On the other hand, Many Tamils fled the country fearing forced recruitments by LTTE. Many were used as human shields during the last stage of war by their own leaders. You may not hear them enough if you chose to follow only one sided media.

Don't depend on Tamil sources that glorify one side as if they were saints. If possible reach out to 'neutral' party/person to know the facts.

But that's not the topic here.

The topic is about Muralitharan's bio pic.
It is about his successful cricketing career & the struggles he faced in his path.
His language skills and political orientation doesn't matter if the bio pic is about cricket.

If his political orientation is the problem, then why it is not a problem for Mr. Ankajan Ramanathan who claimed highest votes in Northern Srilanka (Tamil) representing Rajapaksha's party during last election.

What does it say? The Sri Lankan Tamils who 'actually' know the history of the civil war know the story from 2 sides & they chose to reconcile with the main land to live in peace forever.

While Srilankan Tamils think like this, the Indians Tamils from Tamil nadu still struggle even to digest the name Rajapaksha.
I leave this to their own judgement.

Why i call this 'muralitharan bio pic' issue as stupid is... These fighters apparently were in coma as they cheered Murali when he played IPL for CSK & SRH and still coaching.

There was a similar uproar when Super star Rajinikanth was supposed to open a housing scheme in Srilanka in 2017.
They criticized him as a traitor for the same reason.

But on the same year, when one of his movies released everyone celebrated. In fact Tamils in Jaffna too poured milk in his cut-out in the theatres.

Honestly it is the diaspora Tamils & some Tamil nadu Politician who want to keep this 'Srilankan Genocide matter' alive for their own selfish agenda.
They will find one or the other issue like this as always.
But sadly our #- hash tag generation take this to another level with their ignorance, emotions
& selective blindness.

For sometimes #Nesamani & #Kannamma were our sensation for no apparent reason.

But unlike Nesamani & Kannamma we Sri Lankan Tamils have emotions. We can no longer tolerate your ignorance on our issues.

 

@stayblessed is there a rule that every Tamilian should support for Tamil Ezham?
What if he or she has a different political orientation?
Does she or he loses their place as a Tamilian by that?

You can talk about any problems. It is your right. But i beg you to talk the facts or at least read them before commenting here as if you know everything.
Following one sided media can lead you nowhere even if that matter is anything be it Palestine issue or Syrian crisis. Just try to see the other side & combine it together.

There will be no hero's in a war. Those who prevent a war is the real hero.
I hate war, and hate any kind of crime in the name of rights or freedom.
I believe in humanity and that's why i love Gandhi ji for that matter.
So anyone who ultimately killed the life of his community and that of others can never be my hero. Jmo.

But, people like certain Tamil nadu politician like Seeman wants such a hero behind the scenes to run emotional politics.
I've watched his obsessive talks & videos about the one sided Srilanka stories which no Srilankan Tamils support. We actually make fun of them here.
But we've learnt how deep he and people like him has influenced emotional Tamils in Tamilnadu with his talks about us Srilankans.

It is like selling our problems to your political business. How cheap....

We too have read and learnt about India through certain media. To be frank, the media portrays India as a country of rapes and a place that is not suitable for women to live.
But that's not the fact. Since I've lived in India a lot, I know this.
But for a complete stranger these medias could be misleading.

Learn to take them with a pinch of salt.

 

Thanks for pitching in. We, Sri Lankans should speak about our problems than letting this become a puppet in others hands.

We Sri Lankan Tamils living in Sri Lanka have acknowledged it lately, especially after seeing all the fake stories from Tamil nadu based Indian Politicians like Seeman.
They are making a good business out of our problems and using those empathetic Tamil brothers & sisters' ignorance to their own selfish benefits.

No one would actually read a report from a neutral international source, but chose local medias which are obviously one sided.

Genocide happened. Both parties were equally responsible for their act against humanity. Both committed war crimes and are answerable for that.
We hate both equally and we welcome reconciliation from any corner towards a peaceful future.
This is the public opinion and this is what reflects in our election results in Sri Lanka (especially among Tamils)
But how many of you are aware of this?
Because you are blindfolded. Period.

Thanks a lot for voicing your first hand experience here. If any of you have association with a 'normal' Sri Lankan citizen (not associated with LTTE or Rajapaksha gang) he/she would give your the right insight of what it is.
Sadly all you hear is from ex LTTE or their associations.

A few years back i was in Trichy with one of my Friend (who happened to be an Indian origin Srilanka Tamil).
She spoke Tamil like Indian Tamil slang; hence no one in Trichy (educated & uneducated) believed that she was from Srilanka. They were unaware of this minority group at all.

Strangely, everyone passionately inquired about Sri Lankan Tamils well being and questioned whether Sinhalese still abuses us?
It sounded like we (non Indians) question indian women whether they have been raped or abused daily?

That very incident made me realize how ignorant these common people were, and how badly they were brainwashed using their pure love & empathy for their fellow Tamilians.

This is the height of ignorance. If all problems (i mean the SL war) started from there, then it sgould have been started for the rights of Indian origin Tamils, right?
But these Indian origin Tamils were excluded in Tamil Eazham?
And LTTE neither fought for hill country Tamils nor did they recognize these people as fellow Tamil citizens.

From the beginning Mr Thondaman & his CWC party is the only representation those people ever had. Mr Thondaman has never sided with LTTE.

Just get some facts please
