Have you ever wondered why everyone know about only the tamil version of "Genocide in Sri Lanka"

Are you one of those persons who belive that the official language of Sri Lanka is "Srilankan"?

Have you ever suspected how an illeterate  forest thug like "Brigadier Veerappan" who was shot dead like a dog by a Special Task Force of Tamilnadu Police could manage to publish his idea of "greater tamil nadu" in web before becoming a history?


If you don't have an  answer, rlease read on about the virtual country being build by tamil fanatics.

Abstract: The role of the Internet in the construction of online national identity is a growing topic for research. The Internet offers a new context for negotiations of identity and community. In particular it offers minorities and diasporic communities a new space for communication and self-representation, enabling them to challenge physical and cultural boundaries and restrictions. This paper will look at how the Tamil separatist movement of Sri Lanka, spearheaded by the violent militancy of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE),has used the Internet and its international network of support, including dispersed members of its militant network and the globally dispersed Tamil Diaspora, to create a virtual Tamil nation online. The paper will describe in exhaustive detail the online network of the Tamil Movement, and the virtual nation of Eelam that expatriate Tamils have constructed. The paper will then examine how the Tamil militants and their diasporic supporters have used the new media and communication technologies to build a Tamil nation and a Tamil national identity on the World Wide Web. In doing so the paper hopes to highlight the role of New Media Technologies in the negotiation of ethnic and cultural self-representation and outline new avenues for communication research that draw on diverse academic spheres from terrorism research and Diaspora studies to research into issues of nationalism and identity.

"Are you one of those persons who belive that the official language of Sri Lanka is "Srilankan"?"

Official language of Sri Lanka was English up untill 1956, which only a very very small minority of Sri Lankans spoke (tamil, sinhala, muslim alike).

Sinhala Only Act was legislated on June 5, 1956. However, it was implemented on January 1, 1961. In the interim, the usage of Tamil language was permitted in the North and the East. This was legislated on January 1, 1958. Finally, in 1987 by Article 18, the Tamil language was made a national language.

Hiranya, the question was @ people who are having misconcept about the situation because of the relentless propaganda over internet. People tend to believe propagand of this mostrous  magnitude because...

 

Use of the expression (Big Lie) by Hitler
The source of Big Lie technique, from Chapter 10 of Mein Kampf:

... in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

—Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X[1]

 

And the words of the man who is known as the father of all propagandists, Joseph Goebbels

Use of the expression by Goebbels

Later, Joseph Goebbels put forth a slightly different theory which has come to be more commonly associated with the expression big lie. Goebbels wrote the following paragraph in an article dated 12 January 1941, 16 years after Hitler's first use of the phrase big lie, entitled "Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik", translated "From Churchill's Lie Factory". It was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.

That is of course rather painful for those involved. One should not as a rule reveal one's secrets, since one does not know if and when one may need them again. The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
