India was once an ally of the Soviet Union and was part of the now non-existent Non Aligned Movement. They also have a long history of non-violence. They can probably be a trade partner, like China is, but not a military ally.\n\nAnd I agree with MC Hummer. Indians, regardless of their state of industrialization, voted out an ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic government for a more liberal one. A billion people voting to do that is indeed quite a democracy.

Well the civillians are stuck between the Sri Lankan Government and the Sri Lankan Army and the Tamil Tigers (terrorists). Both sides fight over control of the land, and they've both turn what was once one of the most exotic and beautiful countries into a war torn smoldering battlefield. Rape and Murder, unfortunately, are part of war. And btw the majority of people in Sri Lanka are Hindus, much of the relief money that went for the Tsunami went to the hands of Christian missionaries!

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.

Why not?  India would be a perfect member in the UNSC.  India have proven that religion will not play a major role in its political decisions.  Maybe the world can learn from India.

It is coalition politics. Sonia Gandhi who accused them as killers of Rajiv Gandhi, in cllusion with LTTE has accpted them as bed fellows for cheap political gain. This is politics! Of course, of Indian style.

Yes. All the other countries should support the U.S. in their decision. If next year Iran said, "we're gonna blow India up until it does not exist", where would be the first place India turned to for help?? It's allies. I'm just glad the U.S. is strong enough to help the other countries when they are suffering or need help. It is always better to be friends than enemies. I'm thankful for the other countries that support the U.S. I'd like to see an end to all the wars and my heart goes out to the people that live in the countries that haven't had peace in many years.

Both LTTE and the Srilankan Government should come forward for peace talks. This issue can be resolved only be hearty talks and not by armaments. \n Lets hope for a better future and let our future generation break the slave cuffs and breathe the free air.
