Dear All If i sent the wrong message that I uphold violence that was not my intention nor that of the people i spoke to.
But intention was that we need to organise the oppressed, deepen democracy, developed paradigms amd ways of living from oppressed point of view in our respective countries and come together at south asian level.

A report by X is coming out on youtube soon, when it comes out they want us to publicize it widely in India in every corner. Drop petty issues like justice for Nalini or glorification of Prabhakar. In their eyes those are not the real issues. The real issue is bringing those who did ethnic cleansing in the final stage to book, those who raped ethnic tamil women to book using UN resolution 1325, ask for police/army to be tamilians in that area, devolve governance and budget, basic services and needs to be met, land rights with women's name and clearing of landmines, allow free entry into that area, free press etc. They want to bring unity amongst different tamil groups, some are on the present govt side as well. They want unity with Muslims- who consider themselves as non tamils, though speak tamil. Pakistan is siding with present govt because of LTTE's, for whatever reason, making Muslims leave Jaffna. China, Russia and Cuba are supporting the present govt. they want communist parties to rally and put pressure on these countries in India. They want something like what happened in Nepal to happen in South Asia. The political astuteness of people met was amazing- those who could speak less English were sharper. They want India with them, deepening of democracy in Sri lanka and South Asian unity and trade, and keep all other COUNTRIES out. Justice, freedom of speech, devolution of powers, equity, deepening of democracy and peace is what they want- they want MNCs out. Very sharp and clear in thinking. They do not want Indians to go abroad and speak on sri lankan issues, but act in India. No need for training NGOs here. They know what to do, and what they want. Not to divide Muslim and ethnic Tamil NGOs when they come for training in TN- it creates more problems back home. Some Tamil ngos are on present govt side, and some on opposition side. Tamil Nadu has got a bad name because of all the local politics. Will i step again there? Not till the present govt. is brought to book. IT IS THE DUTY OF EACH CITIZEN IN INDIA TO STAND UP FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND FOR ISSUES THAT ARE REAL I have not experienced as much fear as I experienced after my speech Ranjani --- On Thu, 9/6/11, Niloufer Bhagwat <[email protected]> wrote: From: Niloufer Bhagwat <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [humanrights-movement:4455] suppressed voices To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 9 June, 2011, 5:25 PM The Sri Lankan situation is very , very grim including for the Tamil Minority.

The message went and the policing was immense. including who visited me At the airport knowing i am on my way out i feel secure. Ranjani ______________________________________________________________ Dear Editor: Today June 8th is World Ocean's day Creation of artificial national territories on rights to fishing in oceans within certain distance from shore creates conflicts between nations, and declaring that above certain nautical miles the ocean belongs to international community creates unfettered harvesting of fish seedlings including during off seasons (www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Extract-from-Chapter-10-of-The-Unnatural-History- of-the-Sea.html). Are these conflicts not a human made creation? Trawlers and nets which destroy fish spawns should be banned. Let us demand that coastal/marine resources are given back to people Ranjani Read Letters to the Editor sent to Asian Age, The - Whom do oceans belong to? by Ranjani Kamala Murthy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
