<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The pre 1983, humiliations and discriminations that the sri lankan tamils faced at the hands of the sinhalese were very similar to what the Indian tamils dished out to the TN brahmins ( with less violence in TN )
I dont see why the Jaffna tamils were complaining about marks standardisation ( adding marks to students from sinhalese provinces )
while Indian tamils had 70% reservation
B.Raman writes , that if Jaffna tamils are asked their religion, they say
Saivite, not hindu
The Jaffna tamils considered the Indian tamils of the plantations as low caste and supported the sinhalese in disenfranchising them<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
True about reservation but the difference is that Jaffna Tamils were not part of India & had nothing to do with reservation politics in TN. Even Tambrams complained about the reservations back in the day, the difference is that they got away with humiliations & random attacks instead of outright massacres as happened in Lanka.
The moron B. Raman writes a lot of things including constantly blaming Babri demolition as some excuse for bombings & riots so he is not exactly a reliable source.
The last seems to be correct, wasn't it Ponnambalam who supported the disenfranchisement?
As for the Indian army, i am not so sure after I saw what happened in Jammu where so many Hindus were shot dead by this "multicultural" army which only finds fault with tilaks & rakhis but not pagris among sikhs or other religious symbols.
