What is tamil nationalism(தமிழ் தேசியம்)?
For very long time, i was unaware of this word.What do they want?
What are their ideals and policies?
Why do all tamil nationalists support LTTE ?
Supporting LTTE is one thing while behaving like a member of the organisation is entirely different thing.
Wikipedia states -
With 77 million population, Tamils are one of the largest stateless nation in the world. The desire for an independent Tamil state and patriotism to the Tamil language and culture were the main constituents of the Tamil nationalism
I was shocked on seeing this interview of a tamil nationalist leader.
Reporter: Will you fight parliament elections in 2014?
Reply: Our aim is not to fight parliament elections, but to create parliament for tamils in future
Reporter: What steps are you taking for that
Reply: We are trying to bring like minded groups in every other state in this country
Later, the tamil nationalists brought "Yasin Malik", a kashmiri separatist to attend the "May 18" function. The tamil nationalist declared on stage to Yasin Malik "Eelam is your problem now and Kashmir freedom is our problem now"
The tamil nationalists want to capture power in another ten years and i shudder to think what will happen to this state if such secessionists capture power in future.
While the word "tamil nationalism" sounds great, for the sake of this country and the state, we have to somehow get rid ourselves of this tamil nationalism.I firmly believe the two main parties - DMK and ADMK - will somehow tackle the problem in long run.
