Move to a new country? Respect its culture. Don't impose your struggles on their public memory or demand monuments for foreign events with their money. Victims can become villains when they force their narrative on others. Respect your new home — or face the consequences.
Sad to see some Tamils online acting like the whole world is against them and supports Sri Lanka. They keep teaching shame and humiliation — as if Tamils have no pride left.

@Evercurious1992@vettrikondan786 In the 1930s, Tamils 15% , demanded 50% legislative power-sharing, even though Sinhalese were 75%. The British rejected it as undemocratic for a minority to have veto power over the majority. After the rejection, Tamils began to engage in racism against the Sinhalese.
@iMedOli@BattlementLK@azhagi_ It's interesting to see LTTE elements abroad losing their minds over Sri Lanka's humanitarian act of saving an Iranian naval vessel and its crew. They seem to pop up in every X post these days.
Don't think too little of this island. 🇱🇰
Sri Lanka may be small in size, but in the Indian Ocean, our maritime presence speaks volumes.
No wonder the world keeps knocking at our shores. 🌊

@hodlb103@sidhant India is not in a situation to dictate Sri Lanka at this moment. It’s powerless infront of USA and don’t talk about Chinese influence in Sri Lanka if you can’t control US influence in Indian Ocean.
Sri Lanka has granted approval for an Iranian vessel IRINS Bushehr to dock at Trincomalee Harbour, with passengers to be evacuated and transferred to Colombo before the vessel proceeds to Trincomalee.
India is never the powerhouse in the Indian Ocean. it's the USA. New Delhi couldn't even keep IOR waters safe. Right now, Sri Lanka is handling all matters related to Iranian vessels. And India? Silent as always. 🧵

I have always said that it was the 2015 government of Pres Sirisena and PM Ranil that caused the economic catastrophe in Sri Lanka, not Gotabaya. Gota had to deal with the blunders of the Yahapalana government. It's good to see that the NPP leader finally accepts this.
“The creator of the crisis was Ranil Wickremesinghe, but the scapegoat was Gotabaya,” NPP’s Anura Kumara Dissanayake says that he sympathizes with Gotabaya Rajapaksa for unwittingly contributing to the scheming of past rulers.
On August 26, the Type 071 integrated landing ships Wuzhishan and Qilianshan, the Type 052D guided-missile destroyer He Fei of the 987 Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy arrived in Colombo, warmly welcomed by Sri Lankan Navy.
