TN students protest Civilian Killings in Lanka

Tamil Nadu is witnessing outpourings of anger over the killing of innocent Tamil civilians by the Lankan Army.

Hundreds of students are gathering to be part of the funeral of the student who set himself on fire on Thursday in protest against the Tamil civilian killings in Sri Lanka.

I am against any human rights violation. All the protest going on in Tamil Nadu against the Lankan war is wrong. Where were these students when innocent sri lankans being killed, when the LTTE sent suicide bombers into lankan cities. The LTTE IS a terrorist organisation who popularised suicide bombing. If innocent tamils are being killed(no one would have bothered they weren't tamil) why dont tamils from india go and defend them, like human rights activists defend Palestinians in Gaza and west bank. Whats the point in protesting in India. Our govt wont take any action and be lowered in par with Pakistan who support terrorists in the name of protecting innocent kashmiris.

Here's another thing, who are tamils? Is it a race like nigros, aryans, caucasians etc. Are they people who stay in Tamil-Nadu? Or is it a group like Arabs and Eskimos? If they are than why are the Sri Lankan Tamils calling themselves Tamils?

What the LTTE (and unfortunately those in the crossfire) are facing is a retaliation as a result of years of frustration and agony of the Sri Lankan people. Any country has a right to defend its own people. Its one thing that India doesn't have to will to do so for its own people.

Bottom line: If anybody is so concerned about their clan in other countries, sent planes and ships and have them brought to India where they may be safe. The Tamil Govt has the money (and apparently the public support) to do that. Afterall, thats what Isreal did when they evacuated in a massive airlift of 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in May 1991.
