Sad Plight of Sri lankan Tamils

Thousands of Tamilians were killed since January and about 300,000 Tamils were kept in refugee camps in Vavuniya district.They were kept behind barbed wire and guarded by soldiers.Sri Lankan Government restricted access to international relief agencies. A son from Canada that went to see his mother and relatives could not get access to them in a refugee camp and returned back to Canada.Ban Ki-moon appealed for unhindered access to refugee camps. But Mr.Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka, did not respond.He might have won a military victory but he would create more militants if he continues this ill treatment of innocent Tamilians.Tamil civilians suffered from both Tamil Tigers and Sri Lankan Government. He can not create a harmonious society in Sri Lanka with his hard line policy against Tamil civilians.This type of attitude from Sinhalese majority created Tamil Tigers and they can not suppress the minority for ever with discrimination and ill treatment of innocent people.
Western Governments and international organizations are demanding more access to refugee camps and even trying to influence IMF from providing millions of dollars to Sri Lankan Government.But India, the regional power ,is doing little to force SriLankan Government to give access to refugee camps.It wants a permanent seat in the Security Council,rightfully so. But its silence about what is happening in Myanmar and Sri lanka is shameful and disgraceful.It has to stand up for something more than its political interests all the time.
Prime Minister Dr.Man Mohan Singh,Mr Clean, has stated that his government is embarrassed over unnecessary prosecution of Italian Ottavio Quattrocchi and its effect on India from International community for ill treating foreigners.Who is is he trying to fool? Who Is Mr.Quattrocchi? His patron and benefactor, Sonia Gandhi's Friend and Prime suspect in Bofor's scandle in which Sonia Gandhi's family was implicated. But international community do not see India's cowardly policy in Sri Lanka and Myanmar.

India, a Nehru family Corporation

Haiti, a small ,poor country in Americas has one thing that is proud of which India ,a sub-continent can not even dream of . It has been an Independent country since 1804 while India was a colony of a tiny Island country,Britain. Columbia,Venezuela,Elsalvador and other small South American countries defeated their European aggressors and bacame Independent countries while Indians happily ,some colloborating with their foreign oppressors ,playing along with their racist masters.Lots of people were happy to become babus and run erands for their British masters.It has been the way India was and probably is. Some great leaders came along ,fought and gained independence at last.Nehru family members were among them.After Independence,Nehru ran the country until 1964,then came Indira Gandhi,Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi took over the family corporation and running the country. She hired Mr.Manmohan Singh to run the country until her son becomes palatable for Indians to become dynastic sucessor to his father,grand mother and great great grand father.Recent elections is the first step to that end.What a great people!!!!!

If I were Indian.........

If I were Indian,I would vote for Bharatiya Janata Party to make Mr.L.K.Advani, the PrimeMinister,the same way I would vote for David Cameron of British Conservative Party, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, President Alvaro Uribe of Columbia.Another reason is, I am never a monarchist, and Congress Party is nothing but a Nehru family Fiefdom. Whatever Nehru family did to India during the freedom struggle,India gave back to that family more than it deserves. Congress Party politicians mostly are a bunch of sycophants with no philosophy or principles.These politicians are dependent on Nehru family for their survival and that family use these people to run the country.Bharatiya Janta Party is a national conservative party.It ran the country before and did as efficiently as possible in a big diverse country as a member of coalition.India is great because of its diversity and no party can discriminate a major minority and survive.Leftist liberal media day in and day out call it a communal party,anti-Muslim and anti-minority.BJP actions in Government proved that it is a responsible national party.But there is too much false propaganda against it.

Gypsies or Roma in Eastern Europe

"As economic Turmoil Mounts,So Do Deadly Attacks on Hungary's Gypsies" is a headline in New York Times.It did not surprise me as I read a lot about the plight of Romas in Eastern Europe.I did not read or hear much about them when I was in India.After I came here,I saw them here and there, and wondered about their appearance. They look like Indian and read that they moved from somewhere in Rajasthan to Europe long time ago. Romas are one of the groups that face discrimination as a group.They are concentrated mostly in Hungary,Slovakia,Czech Republic,and Romania.Their economic situation is horrible.They do low end jobs and in some countries live in separate enclaves.They are being treated as outcasts.Their houses are firebombed,burned and they are shot at. According to this news report,these attacks in Hungary may have been carried out by police officers and military personnel.Eastern Europeans experienced so much oppression during communist rule and I thought that they are more tolerant to other groups.I met people from Hungary,Slovakia,Czech Republic and Romania.They are very friendly and wonderful people.They date and marry other people from different back grounds.But when it comes to Romas,their attitude is quiet different.These people think that Romas depend on public welfare funds and do petty criminals acts.Some of that may be true,but discriminating all the Romas ,instead of finding solutions,do not change the situation.
