Dear Sir:
Re: Tamil Outfits to Ferry Medicines to Sri Lanka-August 7,2007

The Committee of Supporters of Independent Tamil Eelam it is reported are planning to send humanitarian assistance to the Tamils in Sri Lanka because the centre and state governments in India are not doing so. Could it be that the centre and state governments know that the Tamils in Sri Lanka are much better off than the Tamils in Tamil Nadu and that this type of action is purely for political gain in Tamil Nadu politics rather than in true humanitarian spirit? If this committee wants to help those in true need, why do they not send this aid to the millions who have been badly affected by the floods in India? The Indian government is appealing to the world for aid. Perhaps by printing this letter you could get the much needed aid to be diverted to those desperate people shown daily on TV rather than trying to interfere in the internal matters of a neighbouring country projecting again the image of "bully India".

Another point to make is that if there is to be an "Independent Tamil Eelam" it will have to be in Tamil Nadu India, the homeland of Tamils worldwide. They should refer this to the centre government for consideration.

Yours truly,
