[Peace for All]

OP is just digging an extremely unpleasant past

After such a violent history islanders have a bit of freedom now

I have met really nice Tamils, Muslims and Burghers, in SL, who respected me since I respected them

People who held the ideology that war cannot bring lasting peace were badly treated back then, including internationally recognised Journalists

Ask yourself, why countries like India, USA etc., with that many states, with that many races, never had such prolonged war like SL, in the recent history?

That's because of devolution of power to the states

Look at the history of both countries - ever heard of the massacre when Pakistan was created and the American revolutionary war and Civil war in the USA?

How would you react if your villagers were harassed by another village, due to ethnicity?

As long as the Western province makes all key decisions about Tax payer funds allocation, to other states, along with Police powers, this ethnic problem will keep happening

In Australia, for eg every state, can issue their own Drivers' licence, recruit the Police and you can obtain the national Passport from any post office but I believe no state can utilise the defence force at its whimsy

At the same time, I believe Western Australia wanted to secede but it never happened. WA is such a large state, bordering the ocean with plenty of natural resources and perhaps able to sustain by itself. Quebec in Canada, wanted to secede as well but never happened, must be because people respect everyone's existence, via the law enforcement.

Ask why everyone wants to move to Colombo?

Please update yourselves about the massacres in 1956 and 1983, done by the Buddhist majority, along with JVP insurrections, due to economic problems

No race wants to be dictated by another. A race means a unique culture. Ever heard about the popular term "race card" in the Western world?

Ask yourself how come LTTE survived that long including obtaining its own Air and Naval forces? Do you even know the size of the population of Tami Nadu, who helped SL during its recent economic crises?

Hope the movie is well balanced than just telling one side of the story or it will only trigger hate among the new generation..

Bro, I’m just doing my part here. Could you point out anything I said that dishonored the LTTE? I even referred to them as LTTE and never once called them “කොටි.” I’m just a curious guy interested in some of the battles that took place in history. If you’re saying I’m digging into the unpleasant past, then our history would be nothing but empty pages.

You are comparing countries like India, USA, and Aus. to Sri Lanka. These countries have the states that are so much bigger than the whole Sri Lanka. In such case "devolution of power" is not an option but a necessity due to large differences in socio-economic factors that make it too complicated to be governed by a central authority.

Yet their states don't want (or don't fight for) separation because of the power that central state has. When a country is powerful (economically and militarily) they can manage their internal matters the way they want without much interference from outside parties.

But Sri Lanka is a small country (and also British colonial rulers strategically made way to the ethnic issue in Sri Lanka.) and global super powers has a say in what happens in Sri Lanka. These super powers try to create conflicts within the country and use ethnic differences to their advantage. What they use is "divide and rule". Look at in the recent history and how many new states were created after "artificial" wars were created by these super powers. (Ex. Bosnian war). They strategically create issues, fuel the war, and benefit from it.

Even in India, the opposing super powers try to create conflicts taking ethnic differences into advantage. Look at Tamilnadu for an example. They want separation but can't go for it because of the strong central power (military and authoritative) the Indian government has. Do you think Tamilnadu won't try to fight for separation if India become weak militarily and economically??

In Canada, (Quebec) situation is different. They don't have outside pressure like other countries have. Because they are a strong "Western country". And not many countries try to put nose on them. Same case in Australia too.

So this is why there were no civil wars in countries like USA, Canada, Aus, and India (upto now). You are comparing Sri Lanka to completely different scenario.

(I am answering to the fact you mentioned about "civil wars". Sri Lanka needs a solution to this ethnic issue. But due to it's current state, it needs a carefully thought-out solution by proper experts. That shouldn't come from these so called "politicians" who have their own hidden agendas. Because the end goal should be conflict free, developed Sri Lanka and not seperation in to pieces)

[Peace for All]

Alright, everyone let's just chill

In conclusion, I believe, at my middle age, I am now indifferent, if a state of any country, decides to secede, due to their unique traits, as long as they can self-sustain. When I was young, I too did not understand, the importance of race to one, until I faced racism by the majority, in Australia.

We all know, when two different races interact, tension could happen and that's why the Constitution was established, to provide us with the same rights of the legal framework, so everyone gets to go to school, work and live in harmony.

So as long as we treat our diverse neighbours with respect, there may not be grounds for another secessionist war - More importantly, poverty, is an issue, every race has to concur.

All the best everyone

Cant compare countries such as Australia and and America with Sri lanka. Our land area is very small. Can go from the noth to the south within the day. Devolution of Power doesn't make sense. Colombo district, as the commercial centre, will be the decision making hub and control the other districts.
