Mother in critical condition after home firebombed
A Scarborough mother of three was in Sunnybrook hospital last night in critical condition after the family's Gilroy Drive home was firebombed. Police believe the attack stemmed from a school-related alter- cation.
Up to 10 suspects aged 17 to 23 are being sought in the 3 a.m Thursday. incident, in which a Molotov cocktail was hurled through the living-room window, where Jeyaluckshni Anandarajah, 44, and her 12- year-old daughter were asleep. Both were set alight. The daughter sustained second- degree burns.

--kg;W}f;- njhlUk; All Seniors deserve Old Age Benefits
Seniors from all walks of life, countries and backgrounds deserve economic security dur- ing their old age in Canada. This is their right and yet it is being denied to them from a government that continues to enforce dis- criminating policies.
Immigrant seniors who want access to Old Age Benefits face a struggle because certain countries, such as China and India, do not share a reciprocal Social Security Agreement, where its citizens can immedi- ately apply for benefits in Canada. Countries such as the United States or England, and even countries such as Latvia, Iceland and Mexico, do not face lengthy wait times.
It is unfair to hardworking Canadians who immigrated here for a better life yet are lied to and treated like second-class citizens.
Our NDP MP Penny Priddy (Surrey North) is actively working on addressing this dou- ble standard. She has put forth a motion in the House of Commons to remove the unjus- tified 10-year residency requirement.
The Social Security Agreement is a recipro- cal policy between Canada and certain coun- tries that grants benefits to select people from select countries based on trade and economics between governments.
Sadly, this discrimination has been prevalent for nearly 30 years and letting it continue means letting racism and discrimination continue in Canada. Presently, any seniors coming from non-agreement countries are denied old age security, pensions and bene- fits for the first 10 years of their life in Canada; whereas an individual from an agreement country is given the same securi- ty, pensions and benefits, in some cases, after only one year in Canada. This has been in effect since 1977 and we cannot allow it to continue.
The NDP fights for all hardworking Canadians, especially seniors. We under- stand they are the backbone to society and the pillars of family and community. We strongly urge the Conservative govern- ment to review this current policy of dis- crimination against our seniors and imple- ment a fair and equitable system so all sen- iors can enjoy their old age with financial security and peace of mind.

Tamil Identity Continues
In reading “Another View”, a response to the publication of “Tamil Identity”, I realized the power we hold as journalists. “Another View” certainly high- lighted a few very interesting arguments. Living in a demo- cratic society, we should always be grateful for our right to voice our opinions, only then can we truly practice our rights and freedom.
However, as journalists, I believe we have the utmost responsibility to read and comprehend an article before criticiz- ing the issues presented. First and foremost, it is undeniable that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is a politically motivated

Many psychologists and researchers have attempted to discover the root of this problem and some found that teenage mothers were either psychologically and emotionally dis- turbed, or just plain careless. Men and women that young do not always consider the long term effects of their action and simply act on their immediate, short term desires. Some –

I read many articles on teenage pregnancy and almost all of the authors rein- force the importance of using contraceptives, and having protected sex, but not many seem to realize that the simplest and best way of avoiding teenage pregnancy is total absti- nence.

feared in the community. Stories of gangs being related to LTTE was fabricated by media and sadly accepted by Tamil population. These conclusions were drawn by psychiatrists, who relate the violence in Sri Lanka to the escalating violence in Canada during the early 1990s.
Lastly, the definition of Tamil identity refers to the set of characteristics and symbols that many Tamils regard as express- ing their unique place and role in the world. I find Tamil identi- ty in Canada is mistaken. We are seen as violent beings, we are seen as terrorists. Our language, our food, our clothes all reveals what our identity is. Whether we share these characteristics with other cultures or countries is irrelevant. Each Tamil Canadian has his/her own thoughts of what Tamil identity is but it certain- ly does not include the fact that we are violent people.
In the monsoon, even the air will hold on to the rain in its breath. The minute you walk out you would smell the rain on the leaves still holding on to the drops of water that was gifted, the grass that would still be wet from the rain the day before. The rain’s life will still be clinging on, thinking maybe it should strike once more. You take a few steps and earth will start speaking to you. The water drenched earth will lift its character and shine as its fragrance makes you close your eyes in and just inhale. You run fro your sweater as the rain comes down again and snuggle up into bed. Sitting up in bed by the window with the blanket wrapped around you, watch- ing the rain drops come down drop by drop, as they sit on the window sill refusing to hit the ground, even the hot cup of tea in your hands feel cold. Everything around you is locked out; it’s just the rain and you.
After coming to Canada I hardy find the time to enjoy the rain. One’s in a blue moon, I seem to sit at the window once again and watch the empty streets be drenched. The minute the sky gets dark, we run for our umbrella, and complain that the day’s plan have gone to waste; that to on a hot summer weekend, if it rains we would start screaming for sure. Cursing the rain for good we say. We just don’t have the patience to look at the beauty of nature. We make our kids sit at the window and sing “rain rain go away, Come back another day.” You never know when the rain will come. An hour or two after it rains; there won’t be one sign that the rain had just visited us. It’s not like half of us even care...maybe if you own a house; you might not have to water the plants in the backyard for a day. Would have saved some
water... You never know. Be it snow or rain, a leafless tree or empty path way surrounded by trees...they all hold some beauty.
Sitting here writing my column, it is once again dark like that day when I was six years old. But here the streets are empty, the earth and the roots of every small plant is waiting for the arrival of the million drops to hit the ground.

-22- itfiw ITS Earth Day
By Salini Francis-Xavier
The first official Earth Day was on April 22, 1970, after United States Senator
Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin called for an Envir-onmental Teach-in or Earth Day, responding to a widespread environmen- tal degradation.
"In 1990, two million Canadians joined 200 million people in 141 nations in cele- brating the first International Earth Day. In Canada, Earth Day has grown into Earth Week and even Earth Month to accommo- date the profusion of events and projects. They range from large public events to the thousands of small, private events staged by schools, employee groups and commu- nity groups," (earthday.ca)
One particular community group that took a stand on Earth day, April 22, 2007, was International Tamil Support (ITS), a non-profit organization. A group of youth members joined together on this boiling afternoon and formulated an annual ITS Earth Day event, where together they cleaned up along Sheppard Ave, begin- ning at Morningside Ave and all the way down the sidewalks, roads and ditches, to Markham Road.
Speaking to the participants, they explained this event was necessary because we are already living in a time where we are facing global warming, due to excessive pollution and disregard by people, which only seems to be getting worse. We have an obligation, not an opportunity, to clean our environment, for
not only the current but the future genera- tions to come.
ITS aims to educate the public, espe- cially the youth, that our environment is precious and should be protected for our own well-being. This non-profit organiza- tion's clean-up event proved to the com- munity that one person's deeds can go a long way.
Passer-bys and other community members also recognized the efforts of ITS and sent their outmost appreciation for such a commitment. Since this event turned out to be a successful, they are encouraging others to join them next year, either as part of their team or on their own, so we, as habitants of this land, can target all corners of the Earth which needs our outmost attention right now! It is our responsibilty to keep our world clean, and with more support and hands, anything is possible.

Average Janes making a statement in Kollywood?
T: Lately, Kollywood has a flood of new, yet bland and boring looking heroines who are fortunate enough to bag roles with prominent heroes. For example, Kamna Jethmalani acted with Jeyam Ravi in Ithaya Thirudan; Jyothi- rmayi acted with Sunder C in Thalainagaram, Padmapriya was paired with Arya in Pattiyal, and there are several more popular not-so-hot actresses like Kadhal fame Sandya and Meera Jasmine who have graced the screens in com- mendable roles. In the past, unattractive heroes were acceptable but when it came to heroines, looks prevailed over talent. Recently, however, there seem to be more attractive male faces on screen than there are female. I wonder if this is because directors are now just taking what they can get or if it’s because an actress’s talent is actually being held in higher regard than how sexy she looks. If the latter is true, this is definitely a huge step
I am a regular reader of Vaikarai’s “ITS OUR TRUN”. While I was reading last weeks “ITS OUR TRUN”, one of the title caught my glance, it was “Tamil Identity” sub titled “another view”. As I was reading the first paragraph I liked the writers point about how before we write an article we should analyze and research. How we should know the rights and wrongs. I found my self even more eager to read the rest of the article, but the more I read the article, the more confusion and upset me got. I mean for the writer to use the title TAMIL IDENTITY to talk about their politics knowledge and differences shows their knowl- edge in understanding and analyzing the title.
I’ve read the original article that titled “Tamil Identity”, that writer had a point to put the title. Since the writer was talking about Tamil gangs in Canada and how other commu- nity is looking that as Tamil identity, make senses, but when you want to show and edu- cate the people with the history of our strug- gle, I personally felt its an insult to Tamil when you use her (Tamil) as a pray.
I had so many opportunities to write for “ITS OUR TRUN”, but I never did, since I felt I don’t have time and no reason to. After read- ing this article I really wanted to write my point of view on this article, since I have an unlimited amount of love for Tamil. This is my personal opinion.
First of all the article wasn’t quite clear on its message to the readers. It seemed the writer is not sure what Tamil Identity is about. A sim- ple answer to the question “what is Identity?” would be this: It is how one answers the ques- tion “who/what are you?” or, my identity is how I define who I am. There is times where we answer, teacher, doctor, ECT. That’s iden- tity of your profession, but when a random person ask “who or what are you?” a Chinese would answer Chinese, a Russian would answer Russian, an American would answer American.
Personally when someone asks me who/what are you. The first answer I say is “I am Tamil.” If the person didn’t understand then I say “I am from Sri Lanka / I am Sri Lankan.”
For a civilization with out its own country, its identity is its language. Our identity is Tamil. The struggles and politics that been going on for the past 30 or 40 years is not our identity. That’s part of our history, not our identity. Just because we have different opin- ion in our back home politics doesn’t mean you can use the title “Tamil identity” to get your point across. I believe this been going on for a long time in Canada, where us Tamils use the words “Tamil identity” to control and con- vert our people to their politics view.
My thoughts on “Tamil Identity” is where we came from, we have an identity that dates back almost 3000 years. Being one of the old- est human race and language is our identity, one of the best king’s world ever seen, the
for Kollywood, the industry that is known to be male dominated. What do you think the rea- soning behind this influx of average Janes in Kollywood is?
J: I would love to believe that Kollywood is finally recognizing the talents of actresses and giving them a chance based on talent, rather then looks alone.. BUT it’s hard to accept that fact when glamour plays such a huge role in Tamil movies. The influx of average Janes is due to the fact movies these days center around village stories or want to present a real- life experience (like Pattiyal) featuring simple characters which fit these actresses. Just like the extremely glamour phase which Kollywood went thru a few years ago, where every single movie featured the likes of Malavika and Mumtaz, this is also a phase due to the exceedingly popular trend of simple, realistic movies. Enjoy the treat of real acting because soon it will be gone and replaced, once again, with actresses simply dancing in
Tamil Identitty
grate Raja Raja Solan, being Tamil kings is Tamil’s identity. In the history of Humankind Tamil’s having the first navy force is a Tamil’s identity. Thirukural and Thiruvalluvar is Tamils identity. Mahakavi Bharathiar gave an identity to Tamil. This is what Tamil identity is. Sari and barathnatium is part of our culture. I guess the writer didn’t get though in Tamil, like the way, the mentors thought back home politics. We Tamils came from the same Dravidian clang as most of other Indians. In the historical past Proto-Dravidian was spoken throughout India. When the Turanians and the Aryans came to India through the Khyber and the Bolan Passes respectively, and mingled with the local population of the North, the North Indian languages of Proto-Dravidian origin changed to a great extent. As a conse- quence Praakrit and Paali emerged as the lan- guages of the masses in the northern part of India. Many common linguistic features are still discernible among these Dravidian lan- guages. Some five thousand words are com- mon to these languages. Many grammatical forms are common. The overwhelming influ-
ence of Sanskrit scholars and the indiscrimi- nate borrowing of Sanskrit words resulted in the emergence of Kannada and Telugu as dis- tinct languages from Tamil some fifteen hun- dred years ago.
The influence of Sanskrit on Malayalam language came to be felt only about eight cen- turies ago, and therefore, the areas of differ- ence between Tamil and Malayalam are not many. Tamil was the language of bureaucracy, of literati and of culture for several centuries in Kerala. In fact, fifteen centuries ago the rulers of Kerala were all Tamils. This is the reason most of India wear Sari and practice baratha- natium.
History teaches us how we were and what we did. History is to learn the mistakes, keep the goods and improve the weakness. Back home war witch started as a war of justice and rights, like most wars got cropped and manip- ulated along its path. Every back home gangs and clubs had the same goal or said they did. We didn’t want to be where we are now, but it’s our faith that we are where we are, instead of complain and dividing Tamils like we always did, for once why can’t we unite and voice our opinion together? I am not saying get in to politics or choose sides. Politics is not the only way we can change the world. Every one of us just should do what we think is the right thing and way to unite our people and live in peace and harmony like how we did thousands of years ago. Don’t cropped the youth with your own pasts and believes. Live the present and CHANGE THE FUTURE!-

“Stop blaming our ancestors”
Last Saturday my friend told me that the vice Chancellor of Jaffna University will be in Toronto for a lecture at the University of Toronto. I was extremely excited to meet him since I had heard that he was the only man in Sri Lanka to have obtained a double PhD. I cancelled all my plans for that evening in order to attend this lecture. The topic of the day was “Education and Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka”.
Mr. Ratnajeevan Hoole walked onto the stage and introduced himself to the crowd of 200 people who were eagerly waiting to hear what he had to say. He began his lecture by stating the following:“My mandate is to speak
-Selvan Balasingam-
on the educational scene in Sri Lanka as it per- tains to Tamils. To give a complete picture I have printed my talk and will read only rele- vant sections to give more time for discus- sion.” “Unfortunately” by the time he got to the end of his “relevant sections,” it was time for us to empty the building due to another event occurring immediately afterwards.
He began by explaining how the Sinhalese have a Nazi (superiority) mind set towards the Tamil people. His examples were both based on Hindu and Buddhist mythologies, demon- strating how the Sinhalese used religion as a weapon against Tamils in the1930’s.
About Tamils he went on to speculate how oppressive they would have been, had they secured political power. He indicated that we Tamils and Sinhalese are cut from the same cloth. The example he used for the oppressive nature of the Tamils was the caste system pre- vailing among the Tamils It clearly showed how superfluous is his knowledge of the social and political forces in the Tamil society. The caste system that Tamils abide by is clearly a problem we need to solve. The caste system presents social restriction and social stratifica- tion, enforced by either law or common prac- tice, based on endogamy, occupation, econom- ic status, race, ethnicity, etc. and it exists everywhere in the world although it might be called differently from place to place, but the concept is the same. Caste system emerged in our society since the time of our ancestors’. It was occupation and economic status based which determined what caste each family was from. As history took different forms, so did the caste system; a system defined by the occupation and economic status soon stayed with families even if their occupation or eco- nomic status changed over time.
The big question that rose at the confer- ence was why and how would the caste system be a problem for a country or state to function? Since the vice consular didn’t even have time to complete his “relevant sections” as well as the promised discussion, the question had to be put aside by the curious minds.
The Tamil community looks at education and knowledge as the same thing. Mr. Ratnajeevan Hoole is a brilliant scholar, but that doesn’t mean he has the knowledge about politics nor history. His lecture did not even address the issue of education during conflict which was meant to be one of the main topics at this conference, as the title claims.
Finally after informing the audience with a long-unclear political history, he managed to address the education issue. His opening sen- tence about education was
“Sri Lanka has had very high achieve- ments in education. For example Batticalloa
College was the first modern western colle- giate institution in Asia established in 1823 by the America Ceylon Mission”.
He went on to inform the audience of some more achievements by Sri Lankans. He compared the education standard of both Tamils and Sinhalese people. His research conclusion was that the Sinhalese people, par- ticularly men, were far more literate than Tamils. His believed that this was due to the Buddhism’s tradition of learning, greater friendliness to women and rejection of caste. This clearly shows the lack of knowledge on Tamil’s history this Tamil Electoral Scholar has. Tamil’s history is very ancient and one of the first lesson we were taught through school books and mythic stories were be obedient, have enormous love and compassion for the others and to love above all the Mother, the motherhood, hence women are the first person we learn to love, respect and protect. Even though he managed to present us with lots of charts and numbers about the lack of proper education system in Sri Lanka, most of them weren’t current. He also mentioned that the north-east universities have little freedom and there is a Nandhi (bull-god) “that adorns strangely and unfittingly the emblem of Jaffna University.” These were his words. For a per- son who got double PhD he was unaware that Nandhi is there for more than one “Fitting” reason; University of Jaffna was originally called Parameshwara College. Parameshwara College had a Temple for Lord Siva, which is still there at Jaffna University now. That’s the main reason for Nandhi to be used in the emblem, since Nandhi is Lord Siva’s favorite animal. The most valid fact would be: Jaffna districts’ flag is Nandhi, so it’s only relevant to have Nandhi as the symbol of the university.
The schools were in fact started as an insti- tution by the Christian missionary and this is a proven fact. Since there were restrictions for the Hindus to join these schools naturally they wanted to have Hindu schools, and don’t for- get all this happened during the British rule. The so-called religious “conflicts” were there only among the upper echelons of the Tamils competing for favors from the British. The poor masses did not have time for this luxury.
The title was “Education and Ethnic con- flict in Sri Lanka”, so it’s only appropriate to at least try to find solutions for it. For either Education or Ethnic conflict to end, first we need to create a democratic environment and country. This will only occur if both sides decide to endure it. For a democracy to enter our island, we need to appoint more knowl- edgeable people to the task.
Just because someone is educated, it does- n’t mean they are knowledgeable. We need to understand there is a difference between edu- cation and knowledge. With education comes the knowledge of that field, not all fields. In our history, we have been converted to many beliefs and have been influenced many times. Right now the question is what are we going to do? Are we going to keep blaming each other’s for our past mistake or unify ourselves and work together in order to rise up to the top again like our ancestors? We believe that the world is in student/youth’s hands, but are you willing to let them have it? Are you willing to let them change it? Are you willing to give them a chance? Are you willing to listen to them? When our society decides to give them the chance and trust them, then there will be HOPE.

Starting Muncharie after the beating was his way to respond to the Tamil com- munity’s need to know what was happening in Sri Lanka- many who came to Canada after 1983 spoke only Tamil. “Since I was supportive of the Tamil struggle, there were many articles I wrote that would have been interpreted as pro-LTTE,” he says. “I was sympathetic to the LTTE, but not with these

them: describing the tigers as a “neo-fascist intolerant organization claiming to fight for the Tamil cause”; writing about the murder- ous expulsion of Muslims from northern Sri Lanka; and criticizing their tactics of child recruitment and suicide bombers.
Over coffee Jeyaraj also talks about the solitude that comes with speak-your-mind journalism. “It’s a long, hard, narrow jour- ney,” he says. “At the end to it, all you have are your very close relatives and a few close friends.” Criticizing the Tigers certainly has cost him friendships, on many occasions people he knows turn and walk in another direction when they see him. “Within the Tamil Diaspora, the powers that be are the LTTE,” he says. That’s because in 1986 the LTTE began eliminating other militant Tamil factions that had also formed to stand up to the Sinhala state. They massacred Tamils who did not support them, emerging as sole representatives of the Tamils. There was no one else for the diaspora to support, and if they tried to, the kind of intimidation Jeyaraj experienced would follow. As a result, most Tamil-language papers in Canada ignore the diversity of Tamils and the pluralistic views of the diaspora.
Jeyaraj goes on tell me about the current fighting in northeast Sri Lanka. “you cannot underestimate the impact of the Mahinda Rajapakse phenomenon on the Tamils,” he says, referring to the hard-line tactics of Sri Lankan President Rajapakse against Tamil civilians, who are suffering because of the bloody fight between the government and the equally hard-line Tigers. Jeyaraj openly admits to being unsure of how to respond, of what to write. He describes the mental agony of going against the tigers: “Am I doing wrong? Okay, they may have made a mistake in intimidating me, but I’ll be doing something wrong if I go against them. After all, they’re fighting for us.” As I listen, he looks up, often, wary of any Tamils wander- ing into the coffee shop. At one point, a young Sri Lankan man sits at the next table. Jeyaraj stops talking and suggests we grab a bite to eat in the food court, where he con- tinues to criticize the Tigers.
In 2000, he tells me, Anton Balasin- gham, right-hand man of tiger leader Prabhakaran, called Jeyaraj from London. He told Jeyaraj that he had come to accept some of his criticisms. Now, said Bal asing- ham, he wanted Jeyaraj’s help in steering the Tiger organization away from the hard- liners. Jeyaraj agreed to assist, and began
