Tamil Eelam (தமிழ் ஈழம்) is the name given by the LTTE and some tamil population of Sri Lanka to the independent state which they demand in the Northern and Eastern portions of the island. Ilankai (இலங்கை) and Eelam (ஈழம்) are both Tamil names for the entire island.\n\nHowever, Tamil Eelam is not recognized as an independent state by any de jure independent nation or by the United Nations. The government controls most parts of these regions. The LTTE has control over Vanni, Kilinochchi and scattered tracts of the Eastern districts of Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Amparai.\n\nThe portion of Northern and Eastern under the control of the LTTE is run as a de facto quasi-independent state, with its own supreme court, police force, army, a church and even a central bank, although these institutions are not formally recognized by the Sri Lankan government. It is dependent on electricity and commodity supplies from the government held area through the A9 highway which was opened after the ceasefire. It does not have its own currency and uses the Sri Lankan rupee. The LTTE has often accused the government of imposing embargos on essential goods, causing distress to the civilians. It does not have its own airport and foreign travellers must go through the Colombo airport.\n\nThe concept of Eelam or homeland was proposed by the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) in 1976. TULF was a coalition of Tamil parties who campaigned in the 1977 elections for an independent state for Tamils in Sri Lanka. In the 1977 elections the TULF was elected to parliament from the northern and eastern provinces. In order to counter separatist tendencies, the government added a new clause to the constitution in 1978 requiring all MPs to pledge allegiance to the unity of the state, which resulted in the boycott of the parliament by the TULF. A number of militant groups then emerged fighting for an independent state.\n\nBoth as used by the TULF and the militant groups, Tamil Eelam has only refered to the northeasterly portions of Sri Lanka (principally, the districts of Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Mannar, Puttalam, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Amparai claimed by Tamils as being their traditional homeland. Some of the early militant groups such as the EPRLF, however, adhered to a wider concept of Eelam, by which they meant all parts of the island of Sri Lanka with a Tamil majority, including the upcountry districts with a Plantation Tamil majority, traditionally part of the Sinhalese heartland.\n\nFor all practical purposes today, though, the demand for an independent state is limited to Tamil Eelam, and particularly the northern and eastern provinces.\n\nFor more history, see Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka.\n\nFrom 1948 to 2002 there have been approximately 38 militant groups who have at one time or another fought for the Tamil Eelam's independence. This number includes the better known groups such as the LTTE – Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, also known as the Tamil Tigers,'TELO – Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization, EPRLF – Eelam Peoples' Revolutionary Liberation Front, PLOTE – People's Liberation Organization of Tamil Eelam, EROS – Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students, and also lesser know groups such as TEA – Tamil Eelam Army, FTA – Ilankai Freedom Tamil Army, SRSL – Socialist Revolutionary Social Liberation.\n\nNational Flower of Tamil Eelam\n\nThe Gloriosa Lily (or Karthigaipoo) was designated as the national flower of the Eelam Tamils in November 2003. It has the spectrum of colours contained in the Tamil Eelam national flag and blooms in November, the month of the Heroes Day (or Maaveerar Day) celebrations when the death of soldiers fighting for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam are remembered.\n\nA Tamil poet, Arivumathi, has noted that the flower of ancient Tamil's War God, Murugan, was Karthigai flower.

I have been regularly watching the doctor's protest against reservation policies of government, at the same time some more\n\ngroups are upcoming with them and all this is going on without knowing the facts, and if they feel that they know everything\n\nthen kindly answer some basic questions.\n\n1.who are they to decide that backward classes need resrvation or not? \n\n2.Do they realy know what a backward person faces in his life? \n\n3.Do they really want selection of students on merit basis?If yes,than why they oppose only caste based reservation and\n \nwill they oppose the other kind of QUOTA called as MANAGEMENT QUOTA or NRI QUOTA.IF all the protest is based on the SO\n \nALLED concept of merit,will the protestant also oppose the private medical and engineering college;giving birth to SO \n\nCALLED MERITORIOUS students by engulfing a big price? \n\n4.Do they believe that merit come with caste or with money? \n\n5.If they believe that reservation can pull the country backward,than why & How the SOUTH INDIAN STATES like TAMILNADU,\n\nKERALA,ANDHRAPRADESH & KARNATAK are more developed than the states of north india?Though there is average 60% reservation \n\nis present in both GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE SECTOR. \n\n6.Don't they know that resrvation has not only helped to contribute in providing equality in economical aspects of life\n \nbut also in social aspect of life?\n \n7.Don't they believe that the backward people of general category also need resrvation for equal upbringing of nation?\n \n8.Do they think that India is Free from caste,gender and religious bias and reservation will blow this fire?than I think\n\n they have never visited the rural India where not only the souls of India lives but also lives reasons of all kind of \n\nbiases.\n\nIf people will answer these 8 question,they will realise the truth behind their protest.That is neither related with MERIT\n\n nor with QUOTA,but hidden in own evils of upbringing in WELL-BIASED society.Instead of opposing the the resrvation we \n\nshould demand healthy education that can clean our prejudices.We should demand resrvation for those who realy need that.We \n\nshould demand a SURNAME FREE india so that EKLAVYA & ARJUNA both can serve the nation equally without any BIAS.

crazy-me do you think we treat tamil people unfairly ? Why not visit Sri Lanka and see if it's true.Do you think we treat them like the way White people treated African people ? Or like the way Germans treated Jews ? I know that some people abroad have given the ideas like they can't even read a tamil paper in public without being molested,but that's not true. Tamil people live every where in Sri Lanka,not just north and east. They have the freedome to live but can people of other races live in areas controlled by the Tamil Tigers ?

De juro, the religion should not affect the government or its policies in India, it being a secular state. But de'facto, all policies of the various government have been influenced by religions. Hence the people have been deprived of a good government, a just government, right from 1947.\n  Mr. Nehru got Hindu code bill passed because he thought there are many obscurantist practices prevalent in hinduism. He got the daughters of hindu families rights in parental properties. He banned multi marriages for hindu youths and dictated monogamy for theml ike in many western nations. But he dared not ban poly gamy for muslims. As if the muslim women are made of different chemical combination. It is here religion affected the policies very badly and we have as a result largest muslim population in the world to feed.\n    Mr. Rajeev Gandhi succumbed to the pressure of muslim mullas and did not allow divorced muslim women to have share in properties. It is again because of communal policy by govt.\n Mr. Mulayam Singh favours Madarsas for education of muslims which is keeping them away from modern education and are breeding ground for terrorists, such as SIMIS. This all shows how religions influence our govt and its policies in India.\n We badly need a rationalist like Mr. Bush or the French Govt to correct the errors of history.

Where did that come from? After reading the papers and seeing the latest news, your question seems to stem from the recent protests in India! Even here we see that Indians adopt a peaceful protest when things get unbearable! People power is on the rise, but the government is also listening!\nIndia has long baffled theorists of democracy. Democratic theory holds that poverty, widespread illiteracy, and a deeply hierarchical social structure are inhospitable conditions for the functioning of democracy. Yet except for 18 months in 1975-77, India has maintained its democratic institutions ever since it became independent of Britain in 1947. Over those five decades, there have been 12 parliamentary elections and many more state assembly elections. Peaceful transfers of power between rival political parties have occurred seven times at the central (i.e., federal) level. Since 1967, the party that ruled in New Delhi has not ruled in nearly half of the states. Since 1977, moreover, incumbent governments have been repeatedly defeated in elections. The press has remained vigorous, free, and unafraid to challenge the government, as even a cursory sampling of morning newspapers will show. The judiciary, despite periodic pressure from the federal executive branch, maintains institutional autonomy. Election turnout keeps rising, exceeding the levels typical in several advanced Western democracies. Having started at 45.7 percent in the first general elections (held in 1952), turnout now often rises above 60 percent. \n\nPredictions of an imminent collapse of India's democracy have continued since the 1960s. When Prime Minister Indira Gandhi suspended democracy in June 1975 and declared a state of emergency, it seemed that India was finally starting down the path that most of the world's poorer democracies had already traveled. Yet democracy returned 18 months later, and emergency rule proved to be a conjunctural aberration rather than an emerging structural trend. \nTo be sure, danger signs remain. When unpopular ruling parties are thrown out, hope that the new incumbents will govern wisely and well too often gives way quickly to anguish, but hope always remains!

Well politician are like british "Divide and Rule" they are the most sefish and mean peoples on earth, there is no moral in them. I feel there should be a free education for lower class people at all the level but the reservation is absurd. they follow the minority appeasement policy and that will be disastrous for India. I am sick of it and i am going to start a new movement, and that is "Quit India". i can't see India like this and i feel helpless so i am planning to quit India very soon.\n\nADi

It is the scheduled castes, tribes, backward communities  that have benefited the most from this segregation. When Ambedkar envisaged reservation, he thought that within 40 years of Independence, all the castes would be assimilated and the Hindus will have one homogeneous caste.\n\nToday to the SC, ST, BC have been added minorities who have reservations in every aspect of life, right from preference in schools, to jobs, to everything in life.\n\nIt is said that one man cannot pay for the sin/s of another. The SC, etc say that my forefathers have looted, cheated, commit ed atrocities on them and I should pay for this by giving them various concessions. I have checked up my family history over three generations, I have not come across any case of any atrocity by my forefathers. So I am being paid for crimes that my ancestors never committed, just because appeasement of these segments will win votes for the politicians and assure them another six years in power.\n\nIronical, isn't it Ambedkar started the reservation policy to assimilate his people, all ta-ht it has ended up doing is increased awareness in segregation and chaos in the country!\n\nst

The most basic division of the Indian society is of Aryans and Dravidians. According to this division, nearly 72% of Indians are Aryans and 28% are Dravidians. The north Indians are the descendants of Aryans and the south Indians are Dravidians. The languages spoken in five states of south India are considered Dravidian languages and most of the languages spoken in the north are considered Aryan languages. The general script of the Aryan languages is different from the general script of Dravidian languages. The Indians also distinguish themselves by the general north Indian accent and general south Indian accent.\n\nAccording to general Indian legend, the Aryans arrived in north India somewhere from Iran and southern Russia at around 1500 BC. Before the Aryans, the Dravidian people resided in India. The Aryans disregarded the local cultures. They began conquering and taking control over regions in north India and at the same time pushed the local people southwards or towards the jungles and mountains in north India. According to this historical fact the general division of Indian society is made. North Indians are Aryans and south Indians are Dravidians. But this division isn’t proper because of many reasons.\n\nMany Indians immigrated from one part of India to other parts of India and not all local people of north India were pushed southwards by the Aryans. Some stayed and served the Aryans and others moved to live in the forests and the jungles of north India. Before the arrival of the Aryans there were also other communities in India like Sino-Mongoloids and Austroloids. There were also other foreign immigrations and invaders who arrived in India, from time to time. \n\nThere are many that completely doubt that there was ever any Aryan invasion in India. This skepticism is based on the dating of the Aryan invasion of India and the fact that Hinduism and the caste system are believed to have been established as the result of the meetings between the intruding Aryans and original residents of India, the Dravidians. \n\nThe caste system is believed to have been established by the Aryans. The fair skinned Aryans who occupied parts of India established the caste system, which allowed only them to be the priests (Brahman), aristocracy (Kshatria) and the businessmen (Vaisia) of the society. Below them in hierarchy were the Sudras who consisted of two communities. One community was of the locals who were subdued by the Aryans and the other were the descendants of Aryans with locals. In Hindu religious stories there are many wars between the good Aryans and the dark skinned demons and devils. The different Gods also have dark skinned slaves. There are stories of demon women trying to seduce good Aryan men in deceptive ways. There were also marriages between Aryan heroes and demon women. Many believe that these incidences really occurred in which, the gods and the positive heroes were people of Aryan origin. And the demons, the devils and the dark skinned slaves were in fact the original residence of India whom the Aryans coined as monsters, devil, demons and slaves. Normally the date given to Aryan invasion is around 1500 BC. But according to Hinduism experts some of the events in Hinduism occurred much earlier. Some of the events like the great war in the Mahabharta epic is believed to have occurred (based on astronomical research) 7000 years ago. \n\nAccording to this Hindu experts the word Aryan is a misinterpretation of the original Sanskrit word, Arya. Arya means pure or good in Sanskrit. In the holy Vedas the good people were called Arya. Some of the European scholars of Indian culture in the 19th century were Germans. These German scholars who found that Swastika was also a holy symbol among the Hindus distorted, the word Arya to Aryan.

Jayalalithaa Jayaram or J. Jayalalithaa (born February 24, 1948, Mysore) is the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, India (since March 2, 2002). She is also the general secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (a regional party in the state). Currently in her second term, she is popularly called Amma (mother) by her followers.\n\nShe was born in Mysore to actress Sandhya as Komalavalli. Prior to her venture into politics, she had a successful career in the Tamil film industry as an actress. Chinnada Gombe, her first film (in Kannada) was a major hit. Her first Telugu film Manushulu Mamathalu made her a superstar. In 1972, she was honored by the Tamil Nadu government with the award Kalaimamani.\n\n\nEntry into politics\n\nIn 1981, she joined the AIADMK and was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in 1984 marking her entry into the Parliament of India. Her association with politics grew from her relationship with M. G. Ramachandran, movie star and then Chief Minister. On M.G R's death, she was alienated by a faction of the party who chose to support M.G R's wife Janaki Ramachandran. Drawing on her massive popularity and her image as the "wronged woman", in 1989, she was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly—-incidentally, she became the first woman to be elected Leader of the Opposition. She accused that the then ruling party, the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam - Dravidian People's Party), tried to assault her in the assembly, and there, she reportedly took a oath to enter the assembly house only as chief minister. In 1991, following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, just days before the elections, her alliance with Indian National Congress paid off as a sympathy wave propelled the coalition to a massive victory. She was re-elected to the legislative assembly and became the first elected woman chief minister of Tamil Nadu (Janaki Ramachandran was the first woman caretaker CM) serving the full tenure (June 24, 1991 - May 12, 1996). However, due to an anti-incumbency wave, and several allegations of corruption and malfeasance against her and her ministers, she lost power to the DMK in 1996, in a landslide defeat. All the ministers in her erstwhile cabinet, including her were defeated in the elections and six of them even lost their deposits, indicating that they did not even secure the minimum numbeer of votes expected of them. She returned to power with a huge majority in the 2001 elections, having mustered a bigger coalition and defying many pre-poll predictions.

Here is what i found--\n\n"The recent events that took place in Tirumala Tirupathi are disheartening to every Hindu. It is stunning to find that nearly 50 Christian families are settled on Tirumala hill and no less than 20 persons of Christianity are employed in TT devastanam.\n\nThese families conducted Christmas prayers on the Tirumala Hill, which goes to prove the complacency of the TTD Board. These Christian elements are audacious enough to distribute Christian pamphlets to devotees going to Tirupathi Temple. What is the Devastanam's vigilance department doing? Such brazen acts on the part of Christians makes one suspect that these people are willy-nilly supported by the TTD Board.\n\nAdded to this sad state of affairs is the latest move by the authorities recognizing Tirumala as a township with the temple jurisdiction restricted to 27.5 sq.km. This move it is widely believed that this step is meant to make way for construction of Church(es?) on Tirumala hills. Above events lend evidence to this belief. Otherwise what is the reason to reduce the sacred seven hills area of 243 to 27.5 sq. km? They're drastically reducing the jurisdiction of Devastanams. Reducing the Lord Venkateswara's seven hills to two hills is an affront to religious sentiments of Hindus.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor, Dean and other functionaries of Padmavati University are believing Christians and they are forcing the students to participate in Christian Prayers, taking them to Church in vehicles owned by the University, conducting Christian religious propaganda in SV University Hostels, distributing Christian literature in educational institutions are some of the Christian activities that deeply perturb Hindu community.\n\nThe offerings made by devotees in Lord Balaji's Hundi should be used only for Hindu religion, spiritual activities. With that object in view the Hindu Dharma Prachara Samstha was started in the year 1968. But later in the year 1982 the word Hindu was removed from its name changing it to Dharma Prachara Parishat. The motive behind the change in name is to divert the huge funds offered by the devotees to Lord Sri Venkateswara as token of their religious devotion to populist Government schemes.\n\nAs a part of that move Rs. 500 crores worth of Hundi money is ought to be diverted in the name of "Irrigation Bonds". Going the way Govt. misutilization of public funds. How the religious funds are going to be spent in any one's guess. Thus to divert the money offered by devotees with specific religious motives to non-religious purpose is clear case of subversion of Hindu religion.\n\nTirumala is the most sacred place. To convert it into a tourist, recreational center as the Govt. is planning, is the sure way to ultimately make it in to a pleasure resort. This is reprehensible.\n\nIf the sacred Tirumala Temple Township is degraded in this fashion, where is the place left for Hinduism? What is the fate of Hindu Society?\n\nLet us all wake up before it is too late. Let us resolve to fight out to protect the sanctity and property of sacred TT Kshetram through all possible democratic means. Let us resolve to denote all our mite and might in this regard.\n\nSome Evidence from Telugu News Papers\n\n1. Bus No. AP11 Z 1130 belonging to RTC left Tirumala at 5.30 P.M. on Sunday 9.4.06 for Tirupathi. One Balaraju boarded the bus along with three others. They carried a handbag full of Christian Literature and started distributing the same to the passengers. The passengers objected to the distribution of Christian Pamphlets. Among those who objected was one Mr. Aravind a resident of Parimala Apartments of Kothapet, Hyderabad. (Andhra Jyothi – 10 April, 2006)\n\n2. Christian Propaganda in S.V.University – Students confront the Pastor:\n\nOn 11th April 2006 students belonging to TNSF and ABVP students unions obstructed the Christian carrying on propaganda within University campus. The enraged students vehemently opposed pasto

In India, laws are not enacted based on caste or religion. If anyone don't pay their debts whoever it is, whether a Harijan (Dalit) or upper caste person, law will take its own course. Only the politicians are playing vote bank politics on them. \nMy request:\nGandhi called the scheduled caste people with a better name 'Harijan' which means people of God. But these politicians have changed it into Dalits. Let us use the sacred name 'Harijan' for them.
