The Indian Tamil Movie Industry(ITMI):

Eelam Tamils are one of the main reasons for the ITMI’s survival. It’s the dollars from the Eelam Tamils that have made it possible for the ITMI to make multi million Rupee movies.ITMI clearly shows that it is taking the Eelam Tamils for granted
Tamils shouldn’t hesitate to even boycott the Indian movies.

Eelam Tamils must start discussing economic measures to have an impact on the current events, then I would kindly suggest the Eelam Tamils living abroad to refrain from viewing any films for some time.. This would be a such a blow to the industry in TN that they would take the right measures to shoot the right movies and educate the poor masses who are being hoodwinked by the Anti Tamil forces. This would be a service to many of our own people too as they are spending their valuable time not just to relax by watching a movie or two but to see every freaking release.. Making the frantic industry scoring on quantity and not quality.

Recently all the cable providers from Israel- the Jewish state decided not to carry CNN. The reason: It is not 100% pro-Jewish. We are not asking them to be 100% pro Tamil nationalism. We are asking them to be atleast neutral. Is it wrong???

  No problem...
  
  """ // Those who are Thamizhans and those who are Indians... You are absolutely an Indian... // Your LTTE ideologies teach you that. I cannot blame you for that. """
  
  Cheran... Do you think there are no supports of Eelam in Indian? After chatting with some Eelam and Indian Tamils, an Indian said something about "Tamil blood" and "I wish I was an Eelam Thamizhan" and so on... So there are supporters...
  
  // Sorry, but the truth is sort of hard to swallow. //
  I'm not going to "swallow" any kind of "truth" before knowing at least something. And I’m no fanatic. Do you think I’m the only ET who feels the way I do? We are many and we fight for a good case. And I never use to visit TamilCanadian.com. I know what they are going to say, so no need for that. DON*T believe everything what the SL government tells you…
  
  // Well like always you have our prayers and sympathies. // We don't expect anything else right now.

  So what ? There are tons of Indians who are advocates of Al - Qaeda as well ....there are avid supporters of Hindu fundamentalist groups ...there are supporters of every group in India ? So what ? That does not mean the OVERWHLEMING MAJORITY is supporting it ...just because a few are don't mean all of us are ......You are commiting a generalization fallacy here my friend. You are giving examples of a few small groups and are giving the characteristics of those small groups to an entire group of people .....which is totally wrong. There are many Eelam Thamizhar who are again the LTTE ideologies as well ? Aren't they Tamils now ?
  
  Do not generalize my friend.
  
  // DON*T believe everything what the SL government tells you… //
  
  haha .....i don't bleieve nothing the SL Govt. tells us. NEither do i believe any of the Tiger sources. I find my resources from neutral and non biased sources from both Singhala and Tamil parties.
  
  // We don't expect anything else right now. //
  
  Good ...now as long as that is been settled. We can move forward now.

  Cheran, can you tell me why you don’t like LTTE? I’m not sure if this is the right time for all this… But you called me a fanatic and so this is for you my friend:
  
  "Disappearances in Sri Lanka"
  // Thus more than 20,000 "disappeared" persons were presumed to have been killed in custody. //
  - http://www.web.amnesty.org/mavp/av.nsf/pages/asia_dod#Sri_Lanka
  Can you tell me what this means? If I understood this correctly Sinhala Police has killed 20.000 Tamils and Sinhalese secretly. Are you supporting this government? No!!! Me neither!
  
  Did you know that the Sinhala government killed 50-100.000 JVP’s (Sinhalese) and starved 100.000 Indian Tamil to death [Source: A Danish UN Book] who lived in Sri Lanka by sending them to India to nothing? We are fighting for Indian Tamils and Eelam Tamils, and you want us to be ruled by a people who can’t stop killing their own people?
  
  “A Sinhala Human Right Activist talks about SL Army and LTTE”
  - http://www.dr.dk/DR-nyheder/orientering/ram/o030707g.ram [Danish / English]
  This Sinhalese Human Right activist says that SL Army has committed more Human Right violations than LTTE. He also says that SL Army is attacking random targets, but LTTE is attacking political and other targeted persons. Whom do you want me to support?
  
  “Many HR abuses committed by SL Army and LTTE”
  - http://web.amnesty.org/library/eng-lka/index
  
  But tell me aren’t you able to understand the need for a neutral country to stop this madness? “It’s not our problem” won’t help anyone of us that much. And I repeat “Hindia” is not neutral. Read the articles in http://geocities.com/tamiltribune written by Indian Tamils.
  
  “The reasons why I don’t fully support LTTE”
  - http://www.spur.asn.au/attro/index.htm
  Pictures of killed Sinhalese in Tamil Homeland. But I wonder why they don’t show any pictures of Tamils killed by SL Army and Sinhala Police. Are you able to answer me? The reason is that it’s illegal to show such pictures. Everything is censured in SL, but none of you care about. You blame only LTTE. That’s one of the reasons why I support them.
  
  If you can hate Pakistan for the “crimes” it did against Indian Tamils then we should be able to hate them without being called fanatics. By the way Sinhalese and Eelam Tamils don’t hate each other. I’ve chatted with many Sinhalese and they understand that we can’t allow these politicians to kill us.
  
  Well, enough of killings… There are several other reasons why you should hate the politicians in SL and why you should support LTTE, buy I’m too tired right now… Going to watch some Indian Tamil movie now…

  Cheran Bharathi,
  I impressed with your views.keep it up.
  Tiger boy,
  The answer for your queation is very simple .As a tamil,we have simpathy towards ET .Even though,you are from different country ,we all did support you .We supported you ,even LTTE once,directly or indirectly in past .We tamils of India once managed to have a loby at delhi to support you .we helped you a lot in past .But LTTE betrayed us.They misuse our hospitality by killing our PM in our own land and make us shame infornt of our fellow indians .You can have many reasons for killing rajivi ghandi .But pls accept it was a blunder ,you lost your political smartness by doing this .After that ,we indian tamils were suspected for our patriotism .We have given a heavy price for our open support for LTTE .LTTE didn't think about us and betrayed us. They themselves given chances for anti-tamils in India to justify their arguements .we are helpless officially now.We can't raise our voice supporting some organisation killed our PM .so don't blame us .It was you the clear reason ..we trusted You that you never betryed us ,but you didn't mind make us shame infront of our other Indian brothers .So don't blame us ..Even now we Indian tamils pray for betterment of of Tamil brothers in Srilanka..that is the only think we can do.

  tiger boy,
  With all due respect to your views can I say onething...your last post has raised a point in favour of the JVP...Do you know that they are the main obstacle for peace in Sri Lanka? No body is perfect my friend..Not even your own LTTE.

  Well Wow you have popped up a few websites ..oh look ..there's a Tamil Tribune page as well ....I bet they are speaking the truth !
  
  Look tigerboy, I am aware of the atrocities, both the LTTE and the SINGHALA ARMY have committed. There is no such thing as MORE atorocitieies or LESS atrocities. One atrocity commited by the LTTE is bad enough. LTTE HAS COMMITED MANY BLUNDEROUS MISTAKES IN ITS TENURE THAT HAS MADE IT LOSE ITS IMAGE IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD - INCLUDING INDIA ...get that through your head. Maybe ..MAYBE ..their intentions are noble .... but the truth still remains, that they have made mistakes, so big, that they would not mind erasing these errors if they had the chance to.
  
  Please do not bring in Indian Tamils in this issue. I have heard enough problems between the Upcountry Tamils and the Tamils in Jaffna who are staunch LTTE supporters. As I said earlier, just becasue a few are supporting don't give you the right to say ALL OF THEM ARE SUPPORTERS.
  
  
  Again, we don't hate Pakistan, we hate the politicians and the ISI who instigate violence in our land. I have many many Pakistani friends. Of course we have our political and ideological differences, but we still live in harmony. It is being seen now in our own land as Pakistanis and Indians are embracing each other as brothers and are trying to put aside the past and move on. I suggest you Tigers and Singhala bigots take a notepad and pen and get some pointers looking to the north.
  
  
  Can you tell me why people support Al-Qaida ?
  Can you tell me why people supported the Aryan Nationalistic theories of Hitler ? ...he had an amazing army as well ...the Third Reich had many Jewish Nazis as well ...pls do care to answer why they supported it ?
  Can you tell me why many people find it necessary to support Hindu nationalistic groups?
  Can you tell me why many Indians support the PWG ?
  Can you tell me why some Sikhs in India and abroad support the Fight for Khalistan ?
  
  There are so many supporters for so many organizations ..now tell me Tigerboy, from what we know of these organisations, aren't they equally as violent (well not the third reich) ? The PWG also makes that same claim that it only is targetting political figures ? But are you trying to say to me that the LTTE and the PWG HAVE NEVER IN THEIR ENTIRE EXISTENCE, TAKEN THE LIFE OF A CIVILIAN !?! That is total and utter B.S.
