| | What the LTTE and the Tamil politicians both want is not only an ethnic enclave but also one in which the Singhalese have no rights whereas the Tamils have their existing rights throughout the country. | | | Today one sees the descendents of those Singhalese in the hill country who once owned those lands as the most impoverished Singhalese of the country. | | | Except for the above allegation that the Singhalese are killing the Tamils and therefore the Tamils need a separate homeland the Tamils have never, ever stated any other reason why they want to have a separate state. |

| | Also the Singhalese are not given employment in estates controlled by Tamil unions whereas Tamil workers are given a free plot of land in those estates so that all those estates will eventually be owned by the Tamils. | | | If there is going to be Eelam then all Tamils now living among the Singhalese will have to decide whether they remain as citizens of Singhalese Sri-Lanka or live as citizens of Tamil Eelam. | | | That means there will have to be mass migration, which no Tamil will want to do because all their economic prosperity is with the Singhalese. |
