| I feel no resentment towards them. After all, I work for a Jaffna Tamil myself, who is a warm, kind and considerate young person of my age!

This was the real truth. Indika Athauda | Jan 2nd, 2007
I think we need to understand clearly the difference between ethnic war and terrorism. Is there an “Ethnic war”? Or is this so called “Ethnic Conflict” in Sri Lanka? When we get into our history, Sinhalese and Tamils do have a great mutual binding on their cultural and religious events. If you think about their major cultural event, “The New Year”, they do have good relationship and most of the time they call it as “Sinhala and Tamil New Year”. Not only in the race, also is religion; can you say that there is a conflict? All most all the Buddhists have visited “Katharagama Devala” and “Munneshwaram” which are the religious places of Hindus. So what has happened to that cultural binding? Nothing has happened to that relationship. Only a few of people, who have excessive craving, have become a barrier for this everlasting relationship between Tamils and Sinhalese. They use the word “Ethnicity” for the sake of survival. And kill innocent people. This is not an Ethnic Conflict. This is “Terrorism”. So are we going to live with this “Terrorism”? You have to decide.
