HERE IS A MUST READ PASS IT ON.........

Dear SINHALESE:

I understand that you are upset by us. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry.

Today, it is the 'Barbarism of LTTE terrorism' yesterday it was the Federal party, before that it was the 'favouritism of the British'. It appears that Tamil, who could achieve equality and who, therefore, could live, upset you.

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Your were upset in 1956, 1958, 1961 and 1977 and went on acts of arson, rape, pillage, murder and plain barbarity and we were scornfully asked to go to the federal party for help

Of course, dear Sinhalese, long before there was a Tamil tiger, we the Tamil people - upset you. And we go back a long way in the history of Sinhala upset. We upset the 'Great' Sinhala King Detugemunu and you still use his 'history' to teach your young ones to be more upset by us.

Reds are upset and monks are upset.The radical Sinhalese are upset and the gentle 'Sinhalese moderates' are upset.

We upset the Sinhala Hamudawa who massacred tens of thousands of us; we upset the Sinhala police who, collaborate with rioters and killed, burnt and slaughtered untold numbers of us.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear Sinhalese, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Tamil state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you)- and have you love us and so, we decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven to in 1983.

Having left you and your pogroms and riots, having taken our leave to live alone in our own little state of Eelam, we continue to upset you.

Well, dear Sinhalese, consider the reaction of a normal Tamil from Eelam:

In 1956 and 1958 and 1961 and 1977, there were no 'Tamil terrorism' to impede peace between Tamils and Sinhalese. Indeed, there was no Koty (Tigers) to upset anybody Nevertheless, the same Sinhalese slaughtered thousands of Tamils in Hingurakgoda, Polonnaruwa, Minneriya and Colombo. Indeed, in 1958 so many Tamil men, women and children were mercilessly hunted down in Polonaruwa Sugar plantation.

Dear Sinhalese, why did you- massacre Hundreds of Tamils in one day in 1958? Why did you carry out 1977 pogrom and made 75,000 refugees. Could it have been your anger over Tiger terrorism in 2007? And why were thousands of Tamil men, women and children slaughtered in pogroms between 1956-83? Was it because Sinhalese were upset over Tiger terrorism in 1996?

The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of 'para Demala' (Foreign Tamils!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream -- Sinhala Buddhism only. What you failed to do yesterday, you dream of today.

Dear Sinhalese, you stood by and cheered on when Sinhala police burnt down our beloved Jaffna library. You stood by when Sinhala police massacred attendees of an International Tamil Cultural event in Jaffna.

You contributed and stood by in 1983 genocide, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Sinhala towns and cities in your land. You drove millions of Tamils to North-East, thus suggesting Eelam is our only Homeland. When we come here to establish Eelam, alas that upset you again. , it appears that you are hard to please.

And since we know that the Sinhalese dream daily of our extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own homeland. If that bothers you, dear Sinhalese, well ? think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

In any event, dear Sinhalese, if you are bothered by us, here is one Tamil in Eelam who could not care less and, frankly doesn't give a damn
