The refugees get same benefits the average citizen enjoys in the state, including free and subsidised rice, monthly subsistence allowance and old age pension. Over 19,000 of them are India-born and as many as 100 are engineering graduates. In spite of all this except for proximity and for global transit, India is not an attractive destination for fleeing Sri Lankan Tamils. The discouraging aspects include both restriction of their freedom to seek employment elsewhere in India and the restriction that they cannot to stay outside the camp overnight. Added to these irksome restrictions, camp amenities are minimal and they cannot travel overseas for want of travel documents. Though Sri Lanka does issue passports to them they are only meant for their one-way travel back to the home country.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nSo the arrival of three Tamil families reaching Tamil Nadu to seek refuge in spite these problems is very significant.

Even the 11,000 plus refugees who had returned home all these years are not a happy lot. They have painted a grim picture of the environment lacking housing or shelter, jobs or opportunities for earning any livelihood for them. In fact, Sri Lanka seems to give greater priority to the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons of the Eelam War than refugees returning home after a long stay abroad. This can be seen from the plight of Muslim families returning home long after they were expelled by LTTE long before war.  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nIt is true that Sri Lanka had released as many as 13000 former cadres of LTTE after rehabilitation training and selective skill development programmes.

As overall rate of unemployment is high, they have little hope of improving their prospects. There are an estimated 90,000 war widows in Sri Lanka with the majority in Northern Province.

Through a dubious mixture of bureaucracy and naked power, Colombo has not allowed the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) government to function effectively to fulfil its election promises that would have addressed issues of employment, personal safety and security. And the continuing friction between Colombo and NPC has dissipated the positive climate generated after the election. The clouds of suspicion vitiating improvement in ethnic relations have become even more opaque strengthening the hands of extreme factions both in Colombo’s ruling coalition as well as the TNA.

To Sri Lanka was basking in the glory of triumphalism at ending LTTE’s 25-year long threat the nation, these developments are causing a lot of unease and even suspicion at India’s intentions in Sri Lanka.

Any contact with them would attract criminal action. This has crushed the opportunity for involving the Tamil Diaspora leaders inclined to work with Sri Lanka politicians for evolving a win-win solution to benefit the community. The black listing notification and the rounding up of suspects has created panic not only among former LTTE cadres and sympathisers but others as they also can be hauled up anytime by the police.  They fear for their own and their families’ lives is particularly high among former associates of the LTTE.

He wanted a similar resolution passed by Indian Parliament. There was no way the UPA could give in to DMK pressure. A harder approach means pushing the Rajapaksa government closer to China. New Delhi has ignored human rights abuses in Myanmar and improved trade ties with that country. By similarly engaging with the Lankan government, New Delhi could push for devolution of more powers to Sri Lanka's Tamils. Besides, if New Delhi actively backs the UN resolution on Sri Lanka, fingers could be pointed towards its own track record in Kashmir, Gujarat and the North-East. The UPA could not have allowed itself to be arm-twisted by a coalition partner to follow a particular line in foreign policy that serves a regional interest.

It is a guide line that has its origins in ancient India, a nation that has given birth to great philosophies that spread among other communities around the world. But after the end of long and bloody civil war in Sri Lanka led by the military, Tamil Nadu has returned to its notorious history and started, not only threatening its own central government, but also is also mobilizing the innocent citizens to a violence motivated by intolerance of other cultures. This has created a web of crisis that is damaging every layer of the relationship between the two countries. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nNevertheless, even a child can understand that despite the political motivation behind this kind of attack, it will be a major reason for creating another round of the diplomatic cohabitation between the two countries in these crucial times.

What they have forgotten is that it is not only Tamils but also Sinhalese who are victims of the Rajapakse regime. None of these leaders can confirm that only Tamils are discriminated against on the Island. In fact, the Sinhalese are also the victims of this powerful nepotistic regime which considers itself to be above the law. To understand this it is not necessary to go deep into our history in a fact finding mission. The impeachment of our chief justice alone is enough for one to appreciate the gravity of the problem. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nIn these circumstances directly or indirectly, the Tamil Nadu mob violence politicians are gifting a great opportunity to President Rajapaksa which is even better than what J.R. Jayawardhana did in early 80s when 13 soldiers were ambushed by the Tamil Tigers in Thirunelveli in the Jaffna peninsula. Most Sinhalese extremist groups and extremist Tamil political groups are puppets of the present regime, and hence they are now well equipped to fuel another crisis in the country in order to hide their weakness and failures. Imagine if Sri Lankan extremists start attacks on Indians who are visiting Sri Lanka in acts of revenge for the recent incidents! The developing scenario would be catastrophic. Who will benefit from the resulting mayhem? This is where we need to understand the difference between 'to' and 'too'. \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nWhen the political situation in the country turns into a rotten egg, the people have to find out how to take that rotten egg out of the box before it explodes and splatters the other eggs. If the Tamil Nadu politicians are happier playing with the rotten egg instead of helping authentic descendants who are concerned about the crisis in Sri Lanka, then the situation will be worse than in the past. Attacking the Sri Lankan monks has created, not only a black hole, but it has given a clear cut picture of where Tamil Nadu politicians are sitting in the political formula in the Sri Lankan issue.
