Where will they go?

The crisis has now reached epic proportions. Key lessons from RealityCheck, Chindu.

These people are castaways of the global democratic system, i.e. they were unable to latch onto the political power center of one of the large democracies of the world, like the US or India. They are similar to so many in the world, like the Kurds, Armenians, Balochis, Kashmiri Hindus, Sikhs, Bodo Tribals - the list continues. No human rights activist will light candles for them, no intellectual will write for them, no danseuse will dance for them.

the tamils fell for the tamil identity trap, a pan indian oppposition would be seen if they had gone for hindu identity.

A very good point IMO.

To even make things clearer, I would say they should have gone for "Indian Origin" identity...
