i wound like to thanks to the story is and the suffering world we are living all over world because we did not find peace safety in our forgathers land northern and eastern provinces but we find the peace in western Christian world we did not forget our home but the freedom denied by Majority Sinhalese the way LTTE seek free state is to find a freedom for tamil is correct but the method is make them as a negative view.but the Government of srilanka is not do anything for the tamils safet all they trying to change the budest country and forcefully he change the country to fellow Budda and in the future they will deny the religious freedom y are building budest temples every ware every corner of Srilanka and teaching the religion every ware.
slowly the times comes all Tamils forget their identity.the only hope for Tamils is in Jesus who Died for Tamils and their future and and if Tamils keep command or God and Fath in Jesus Tamils can find new life

Dear Jeyraj,
Salutations to Veluppillai’s family. Unforgettable & unfortunate history. Saddens us to know as family values got lost because of one of his children and thereby its peace!!

Dear Mr. Jeyaraj,

A good article indeed on the great V.C. Ganeshan (Sivaji). As you may recall, there were two large camps in the 60′s & 70′s (MGR & Sivaji) and I belong to the former.

People like me would like to read an article on Makkal Thilagam (best suites the great humanitarian. Thank you. Dilkaran

Comment on Prabhakaran: Powerful symbol of Tamil armed struggle by chitaranjan

chitaranjan — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:41:52 +0000

Dear DBS Jayaraj

If Prabhakarn had been a lot more tolerant and unselfish, the freedom struggle would have gad fruitful results. Ordering the assassination of India’s most charismatic leader, he nailed the fate of LTTE and with that the people of Jaffna. He can never be forgiven and all Indians lost their sympathy for Tamils in Lanka. Let us burn the VAIKOS and Nedumarans making the cause of Tamils as mere vote banks. It is high time that we ensure domestic peace in our neighboring country and should never encourage separatism.

In Tamil we say ” sethathukku pogavillaienrallum, pathukku po” … Basically it means if one cannot visit your friend/relative at his/her death, one should atleast make a visit during the ceremony that happens within 15 days of death… The anger in TN today against the SL that happens after several years of human slaughter in Tamil regions of SL may be puzzling…. But please realise that the then CM – MKarunanithi deftly handled the TN media and ensured schools and colleges are closed for months together and thereby helping new delhi which in turn ensured Slanka to achieve what it wished….

Regards

Comment on Basil Rajapaksa wants to develop Neduntheevu/Delft into eco-tourist resort by vijaya

vijaya — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 03:58:39 +0000

what Sam says is true- that by developing eco-tourism the pristine place will no longer be that. However, is that not true of any tourism or any object that is observed. The fact that people have to come there to observe is bound by natural law to change what they come to observe. What Basil is suggesting is local people being trained in the art of hospitality. Even though the locals are hospitable enough already ,training cannot be bad. It is probably better than opening a cement factory!
Gentle development is no bad thing.

Comment on How Prabhakaran met his death: KP speaks out – 3 by jay

jay — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 07:51:47 +0000

i’m not from sri lanka.. but i’ve been following these stories about prabhakaran, and his family… the latest photos of the last moments of young balachandran in the hands of SL forces, and the latest documentary, affected me.. and brought me here… i pray that whoever were responsible for the kid’s death and the persons who committed the killings of the tamil civilians gets punished here or in the next life, if there is one…, i pray that afterwards the tamils would get the things they aspiired for and what VP and others like him fought for…

Last Week I met an Old Thomian who had been a student at Bandarawela/Kollupitya/Guruthalawa and Mount Lavinia. He now lives in Miami Florida as I do. My Own Years at School were Kollupitiya ’47/48 and Mt Lavinia 49/60
Does anyone know of another Thomian who attended all 4 schools?
Thanks for a response

the kid was cute eating his last snack,
if he was a war leader in kid look at his face there is no sleep in his eyes before killing i think they first captured him showing footage to his dad to surrender and then caught him alive killed him and then killed the kid too.

Comment on Prabhakaran, Veluppillai and the father-son relationship by Zainab Jameel

Zainab Jameel — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:33:09 +0000

yes srilankan army did a wrong thing,which every parents of a child will condemn the way the army shot dead prabhakarans son.Now generally i would like to give you certain thinks the whole world condemns the way Prabhakarans terrorists men Killed srilankans Citizens and just born kids,without proper evidence i never speak out publicly,Prabhakarans men not only Killed thousands of Civilians but also killed very big army officers in Srilanka.No body Questioned this when he was mercilessly killing the civilians,do you know why.At that time media was not much powerful,but now every International reporter has the advanced phones/computer gadgets which they can record from any part of the world.
I was very much pained in 1991 May 20th I still not come out of the Incident which our Former Prime minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi was Assassinated by the Prabhakarans men with the support of the congress people.If Sonia was not Involved in Rajiv Assassination Case why the Hell she sent her daughter to meet the Killers in Vellore Jail.Its a simple logic.Rajiv was made scape goat at the profit of Sonia Gandhi.just think twice.Now at the present situation the way she is taking congress is very Pathetic.many Congress Leaders were Killed in Accidents No Probe No Investigation.This is become very common in our Country.What happened to the C B I Investigation on BOFORS.Actually it was just Rs.67 crore Commission deal.For Investigating C B I Spent Rs.271 Crores.In this Main case you may be heard about Ottava Quttarachi an Italian Mafia and a Friend os Sonia was left free from the CBI.Why? The case is totally Closed.For Investigating this you remember Hindu Paper’s Mr Raman’s Wife she had just delivered a Baby she took the responsibility investigation and Published the Whole Transaction About the Bofor’s Deal Ultimately Bofors case is Closed.I have just givin you a sample of Sonia Gandhi.Many Cases filed by Mr Subramaniam Swamy against Sonia is still Pending in the Supreme Court.Why? You just Imagine………..How much powerful she is…………….

Comment on The language controversy over Sri Lankan National Anthem by skanthan

skanthan — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 04:10:08 +0000

Diyasena,

I really like the idea you pesented for a bilingual version of the Sri Lankan National Anthem!

The following would also work quite well. (Please note I have used a phineticized spelling)

shrI la~NkA mAtA
apa shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO mAthA
nAm shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO thAyE

sundhara siri bAriNI suraendhi aethi shObhamAna la~NkA
dhAnyadhanaya naeka mal palathuru piri jayabhUmiya ramyA
namathuru pugalidam ena olirvAy namadhushiyEL thAyE
namadhalai ninadhadi mEl vaittOmE namadhuyirE thAyE

apa shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO mAthA
nAm shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO thAyE

obavE apa vidhyA oba maya apa sathyA
obavE apa shakthi apa hadha thula bhakthi
namadhiLa maiyai nAttE nagumadi thanai yOttE
amaivuRum aRuvudanE adal seri thuNi varuLE

nava jIvana dheminE nithina apa pubudhu karan mAthA
j~nAna vIrya vadavamina raegEna yanu maena jaya bhUmi karA
iyaluRu piLavugaL thamai aRavE iLivEna nIkkiduvOm
ila~Ngai sirOnmaNi vAzhvuRu bhUmaNi namO namO thAyE

apa shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO mAthA
nAm shrI la~NkA namO namO namO namO thAyE

Roshan,

In the word, ila~Ngai, the i is silent. In Tamil, worlds starting with ya, ra or la sounds start with i in witing.

example: the world for number two in Taamil is spelled as i-ra-N-du but is pronounced as raNdu.
