Holidays-->Boredom-->Blogging-->LTTE-->??!!

I would be busy coping with my college studies & projects if not for the astounding announcement of the state government to shut down the colleges across the state indefinitely.The reason cited was due to the catastrophe of civil war in Sri Lanka.The civil war was an ongoing ado from early 70's.So what's with it now?Well,innocent civilians are being killed.To be more precise the Tamils of Sri lanka are being killed by the Lankan army.Many groups are protesting here & across the globe against the Lankan government.Few political parties are asking the Indian government to pressurize the Lankan government to stop waging the war.Would it be politically ethical for a country like India to intervene in the internal sovereignity of a country by puissance.Hmmm when ever a war is on civilians of the respective countries die.That's a world phenomenon.The war is between Lankan govt & the LTTE.There has been loss of life on both the sides.I'm not shielding the Lankan govt,but loss of life of the civilians during war is absolutely inevitable.LTTE's ultimatum is for the self determination of Tamil Eelam.I agree to the fact that the Tamils of Lanka were ill treated for many years,which resulted in the formation of such a militant organization.But would any nation agree to forgo a part of their soil just because the demands of the militant organisation could be justified to a certain extent on the the grounds of inequality suffered by them?In all senses it would be a big NO.What was the Indian government's stand when there was an upsurge for a Dravidanad?Any separatist movement was considered ill legal.Lashkar-e-toiba is fighting for separating Kashmir from India,could we just give it to them?LeT is a terrorist organisation.LTTE has not much difference.Right to life is the same for every human being.What about the Aranthalawa Massacre,Anuradhapura massacre & Dehiwala train bombing?Many innocent civilians of Sri Lanka died.It was done by the LTTE just to prove a point for their cause.Thirty plus years of war in a country.The continuing insecurity for the very existence of life itself.What's the future of the people?Fighting a war for peace & equality is like .....(hope u get it).The best for the country & the people would be to live in harmony,to be unified as a single state under one government which not treats the citizens as Lankans & Tamils but as the citizens of the Sri Lankan Republic as such.For such a new dawning it is indeed necessary to uproot any militant organisation which causes impediment for the same.I guess the day is not far when the people of Sri Lanka will have a new genesis of life,liberty & pursuit of happiness.
