Issue: Mistreat/Genocide of tamizhians in Lanka, the island country, demanding ceasefire.
October 17: Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam tendered their resignations to party president and Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Friday.
Nowadays, the ulterior motives behind political parties are not so ulterior, it's obvious, 100% for political gains. Mamta bannerjhi - Singur 'movement', Raj thackeray attacking northies, are quite a good examples.
When malaysian tamizhians were ill-treated, the TN govt condemned it and urged the central to take some steps to stop it. It made a lot of sense to me, since many of our relatives, living/settled in malaysia. Lots of family here depend on them, both morally & financially. What not making sense to me is, TN govt supporting the tamizh speaking group from lanka, where hardly Tamilnadu lineage tamizhians can be found. Lankan army doesn't even let tamizh fisherman from TN to reach their boundaries in the ocean, so tamizhians from TN settled in lanka in recent times would be very very less. Tamizhians in Lanka could have settled pandya/cholas time when we frequently invaded sri lanka (Raja raja cholan invaded Lanka during 1000 AD is one such instance), which is long back.
TN govt expressing grief for their situation is different, which could make sense, but going to the extend of resigning the ministership does not. Moreover the govt is interfering with the internal issues of a different country, when we have enough internal issues to be solved. The govt/ruling party could very spend this energy in resolving the dispute with the neighboring states. We are not friendly to our neighboring states, though we are part of the same country, but friendly to neighboring countries for no good cause, which is absolutely ridiculous. Grow up kicha, the motive is simple: Racism/Groupism, for political gains.
P.S. The above passages does not mean I am not a fan of tamizh/tamizhian, in fact, most of my favorites are from TN, I love tamizh more than C/C++.
