<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->1.how come Sri Lankan muslims are classified neither as Tamils nor Sinhalese? How come they are a separate 'ethnic' class? Are they not converts from either Tamil Hindus or Sinhalese Buddhists?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Srilankan Muslims are in many cases converts from Tamils or the progeny of intermarriages between Tamils and the Muslim traders, almost all of them speak Tamil but use their religion to carve a separate identity for themselves which is the cause of a lot of resentment between Tamils and Muslims in Srilanka, the LTTE expelled them from Jaffna in a few days back in the day.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->2.If Sri Lankan Muslims can look upto "India" for help and can get UPA government actually respond to them favorably... of which country's concern should the problems of Bangladeshi Hindus be??? I never read a news of any high level meeting by Indian government and MPs with representatives of Bangladesh Hindus or Buddhists...did I miss it? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Don't you know, India is a secular nation and has all the time to look after the problems of Muslims and other minorities all over the world but has no time to spare for the reactionary and communalist Hindus.
