Removing The Sheen From Buddhism

[G.Subramaniam]

LTTE chief Prabakaran became a terrorist after he saw a brahmin priest in sri lanka set on fire by sinhalese mobs led by buddhist monks

IMHO, buddhist monks esp theravada are the most loathsome
in most cases similar to catholic monks

In vietnam, in 1500, the last hindu kingdom of Champa was destroyed
by buddhist invaders from north India



IMHO, the issue in sri lanka is very nuanced
There are no clear cut heros

The AIT theory and Bishop Caldwells dravidianism are at the root of the problem

In south India, Caldwell started off his dravidianism movement with a speech at an audience 95% tamil brahmin??

In sri lanka, the last sinhalese dynasty
was ruled by a Nayak, a viceroy from Vijayanagar

The Dravidianist movement had its counter part in sri lanka wherein the sinhalese declared themselves as Aryan

I have seen sinhalese, there is a huge amount of tamil blood
Compare the looks of Rajapakse and Dayanidi Maran
--

While the LTTE is catholic controlled, the sinhalese are anti-Indian, anti-Hindu, anti-Tamil racists
The sinhalese are pro-pak, pro-China
A decisive victory for the sinhalese is not in Hindu interests

About 2 years ago, on an Indian defence forum, I had made these statements
calling for a nuanced approach,
and gotten shouted out as a LTTE sympathiser

The rank and file of the LTTE is hindu, while the leadership is xtian

I wish the rest of Indian hindus had the ruthlessness of the LTTE cadre
