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.

The sinhalese wanted to disenfranchise the Indian tamils and Ponnambalam supported them since he despised as low caste, the Indian tamils
Per my understanding, ( Jamwal in BRF ) almost no hindus in Jammu were shot by Indian army, since they were raising pro-army slogans
Incidentally, the DMK and John Chelvanayagam had very close ties
Incidentally, the economy of Sri Lanka is screwed,
they have 25% inflation
In addition to dissuade any future Indian intervention, Rajapakse is raising army strength from 2 lakh to 3 lakh ( out of 12 mil sinhalese )
60% of their exports is textiles to EU and USA
I expect the west to squeeze this
Even with peace, it cant have BPO etc,
since as part of the anti-tamil drive, back in 1956, english was removed as medium of instruction ( tamils were more fluent in english )
In addition, they have driven away the higher IQ Jaffna tamils and the sinhalese buddhists are dumb as stone, thanks to the dysgenic effects of buddhism
The correct way to defuse this is to hollow out buddhism
In the last 20 years, hindu temples are coming up in sinhalese areas
and lots of sinhalese now visit hindu temples
and much of the sinhalese political leadership is followers of Sai baba, Sri Sri etc
