A note on Solidarity
Brothers and sisters, I am an ஈழம் தமிழர் -- For those of you who don't know, that means that I am Tamil by ethnicity; and that my roots are unshakably and unmistakably planted in the Northern land of the country called Sri Lanka. I have to say this -- over and over -- because like in Palestine, there are droves of people who claim that I do not exist, that my people are not indigenous to the land that we have lived on for centuries, that they have a legitimate claim -- moreover, a religious, sacred claim to that land. I am sick and tired of the bullshit justifications that greedy nationalists throw around for the murder of innocent people.
