I'm so pained to write this, that we are the only linguistic group that cannot unite and come together even under severe calamity and even when someone is outrageously unleashing torture
Every other language group have their own internal fights / squabbles etc but when some external force strikes, they unite strongly (even people so opposed and fragmented like LDF & UDF in Kerala).
No, not with ThamizharkaL with people like mukA & JJ around! When will these people understand ஒன்று பட்டால் உண்டு வாழ்வு? Well looks like they only follow the எரிகிற வீட்டில் பிடுங்கினது ஆதாயம் technology What a shame!

Linguistic group? I don't see Gujaratis from India joining hands with Gujjus who immigrated to Africa 100 years ago or hindi speakers of India joining hands with the hindi speakers of Guyana or the West Indies who moved the hundred years ago.
However, I do agree that we should stand up when human beings are tortured or abused anywhere be it in Guantanamo or in Iraq or in Sri Lanka.

Be thoughtful not to disturb communal harmony
– President to Media
The media should not be used to disturb communal harmony. The defeat of the LTTE and terrorism has brought the country to the threshold of a new era of unity and understanding. The media should act with a sense of responsibility in this situation, and not encourage old attitudes that led to disharmony and mistrust to prevail, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the owners and chief editors of the print and electronic media, June 05, At Temple Trees.
In his first interactive session with key persons, of the Sinhala, Tamil and English media, since the defeat of the LTTE, President Rajapaksa said the first priority today was the building of trust and understanding among communities, with the view to national unity. The media has a major role to play in this. The forces of communal hatred, separatism and terror should not be allowed to raise their heads, through the misuse of the power of the media.
The President cautioned that at present “There is a danger that even a small incident could be blown up by provocative elements to cause much damage… My earnest appeal to you is not to write or broadcast anything that would create unnecessary divisions in society.”
“Do not write anything to arouse hatred, do not let another terrorist movement to emerge,” he added.
He also requested the media not to defame anyone or use the media to settle personal vendettas, which could lead to incidents that could implicate the Government for no fault of its own.
The President also requested the editors to visit the welfare villages in the North to see for themselves the conditions there and get an understanding of the colossal tasks that the government has already undertaken in the wake of the unprecedented and unexpected influx of civilians who fled from the clutches of the LTTE into the safety of the government. He urged the media to use their influence to make the country fully aware of the humanitarian issues that are being addressed in resettling these Internally Displaced Persons who are citizens of Sri Lanka.
The government has drawn up a 180 day plan for resettlement of the Internally Displaced Persons after completing de-mining and providing infrastructure and basic necessities, the President said.

These two main comedians of TN politics never stop fighting each other on aRikkais.
When will they ever learn to work together when issues are after all about confronting a "common enemy"?

If it can work efficiently in a foreign country in a setting so alien, then working in Pakistan and Bangladesh must be a piece of cake with the 'blending in' so easy to achieve. They are not ordered to that effect by political masters - As simple as it is - there is no need to be suspicious about this because it is politics.
Pachchaya solla pona, hard steps towards tracking and crushing panna pona idiotic parties like Left , SP and other mindless udhiris will raise hue and cry painting tough measures against ISI sponsored terrorism as 'anti minority' policy. This is the electoral fear that is preventing Congress govt to pussy foot. However Manmohan sonia group will not worry a little bit when they have to ask RAW to 'help' SLA to give location of School or Hospital that has to be bombed. As the article in rediff said - blood is on the hands of India - it is innocent blood - not that of prabhakaran and LTTE - they had anyways made their appointment with death since the days of cyanide - but that of the people who were in NE. This will prove costly not today or tomorrow - but some other day - Fortunately or unfortunately the sinners of today will not be in the top post then.
However varisu arasiyal is giving me hopes that atleast someone from their family will be there when the comeuppance comes calling.
Something worthy of my visit to the hub after a long time.

Absolutely.
cankam literature talks about / names 100s of different types of Fishes/marine life; tamils have been "kadalOdikaL" for milleannia..
now we have the central govt. which forces the "meenavarkaL" to get "permits" to Fish along our coast!, and lets our fisherfolk to be hunted down by the SL Navy.
Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" is being played out in real life on tamils.
Perhaps the "Akhanda Nationalists" and Pesudo-democratic "I-shall-protect-Religious-identity-and-mock-ethnic-identities" people should remember that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
