It is therefore essential for the political parties in India as well as Sri Lanka not to raise communities against each other. The future of Tamils and Sinhalese lies in a unified and strong Sri Lanka. And Sri Lankan government and political class must understand that they will gain nothing by isolating the Tamils who have contributed enormously for the development of this country. The influence of Tamil culture is visible in Sri Lanka and it would be a travesty of truth if we harp on divisions and make one community villain for the entire issue.
