PhD
The chapter "" is not factually correct at all. I have spoken to everybody at Psycology at South bank to find out, there is noboidy who remembers an Anton Balasingham. The South Bank polytechnic wasn't in existence until 1970. I checked all the records at the university to find there was no such registration since the polytechnic was started in 1970. There was a small school called Borough Polytechnic in London in 1960's which did not have the status to offer PhD's. The Borough POlytechnic was merged with other training colleges in the area and elevated it to the Polytechnic status in 1970, when it was renamed the South bank Polytechnic. So this person should not have registered for a PhD there in 1960's when there was no such school. The polytechnic was promoted to university status in 1980's calling it the 'South Bank University' which was renamed in 2005 to 'London South bank University'. I will speak to the registrar of the school regarding this entry next week. Somebody's taken the leniency of the British university system and press freedom to include this chapter to justify Anton's continuos use of the title 'Dr', which obviously he is not. Since LTTE is branded as a terrorist organisation in almopst all major countries and the EU, the organisation may find it is important to have a doctorate to their theoretician and this is how they achieve it. A credible source like Misplaced Pages should not be allowed to misuse this way. (more about South bank Uni www.lsbu.ac.uk)(07:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC))
- Well since you last posted the above in July, it is clear to me that it has taken you more than a Week and you are still unable to disprove that Anton holds a doctorate. It is quite strange that all the Sri-Lankan (Sinhala) newspapers and Tamil Press still refer to him as Dr Anton Balasingham. Also how is it you spoke to everyone at psychology when you can’t seem to spell the word correctly? Did you know that it is part of the data protection act of this great country of the UK which in turn ensures it is illegal for one such as yourself to delve into the information of another individual? In simple terms, it is impossible for you to verify that he has a PHD without his consent. So how is it you were able to check the records? Impossible, yet laughable Also in a Times UK article, they listed his credentials (of which amongst one was his PHD doctorate). I believe you need help as your telling tales or porkies. Please don’t try to take what little honour this Tamil individual has. P.S. Learn to spell and use grammar, since nobody can understand what it is your trying to state.

Blatant copyright violation and POV pushing
It is sad to know that the pro eelam lobby who are hell bent on glorifing this terrorist who was the so called official spokesperson for one of the most ruthless and barbaric terrorist groups in the world, are blatantly violating copyright by almost verbatim copying the article from http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=20673 which is a noted pro eelam site. In addition they are violating WP:NPOV by making blatant statements like "Balasingham was cremated shortly afterwards at a private ceremony leaving the people for whom he was fighting for by his intellectual wisdom." There is also vandalism by anonymous ip's via removal of cited content critical of the 8 million rupees spent to reserve the great hall when people are starving in the north and east.
I strongly urge the admins to keep a strict watch on this page with a zero tolerance policy for as a edit war is bound to ensure. Kerr avon 11:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Truth of the Message
If Anton Balasingham is a theoretician without using his intellectual wisdom what he will be using, what is there in Tamilnet, if we could use other Sri Lankan newspapers for reference? Take Daily News, the national newspaper of Sri Lanka which doesn’t bring any truth to the world on what is happening in the Tamil areas.
When the Tamils are being murdered the Daily News will only justify the facts biased to the Government making every other Tamil as a LTTE member. Only Tamilnet has brought to the world the truth. Otherwise subsequent Sri Lankan governments might have already wiped out the Tamils from the Island.
Even in Puthukudiyiruppu, there were 60 school girls killed in a carpet bombing by 5 supersonic jets continuously, but the Sri Lankan President apparently denied they all were LTTE members while the Sri Lankan Monitoring Mission and other UN Agencies were telling, “they are only school girls”. So who are the real terrorists, tell me an example after independence any Tamil fought using guns or any other weapons against then Sri Lankan governments to demand their rights. The moderate Tamil politicians like S. J. V. Selvanayagam and others were attacked by mobs just in front of the then Sri Lankan parliamentary complex by stones and clubs. Could any one deny this? They brought Sinhala only policy and then standardization by marginalizing the Tamils in education and well before that they started planned colonization in the Tamil traditional home lands. That time Tamil politicians were democratically demanding their rights to live peacefully with equal respect. After all their attempts failed only there were Vellupillai Prabhaharan and other Tamil military groups among Tamils. Can any one deny these facts? There are many hardcover and paperback editions are available in the market with detail research.
Anton Balasingham was a theoretician and he used his wisdom and fought for Tamils to gain the political rights. Whether he was attached to LTTE or a political party is a different issue. Sometimes he might have opted a military group to associate with, it was because of the past incidents what happened to other moderate Tamils.
What do you mean by Terrorism? If Sri Lankan Governments can use the heavy Tanks and super sonic jets in a densely populated Jaffna Peninsula under the name of establishing sovereignty and could be justified those killing and then could glorify those military victories, then what is the difference between the Government and the LTTE, the way they are using to achieve their goals.
It’s is pathetic to observe the amount they have spent for his funeral which could have utilized for the North East Tamils. Government is systematically starving the people and killing by artillery shelling time to time, no one is noticing. It is ridiculous those who are not bothering those now caring for Balasingham’s funeral money for those poor masses.
Open your heart and mind; you will get the right picture.
Not only will the Misplaced Pages Administrators, the entire world come to know the truth very soon.

- User:Rajsingam please understand that statements like "Balasingham was cremated shortly afterwards at a private ceremony leaving the people for whom he was fighting for by his intellectual wisdom" are highly POV and violate WP:NPOV. Please read WP:NPOV and see how important it is to confirm to a neutral point of view. You are perfectly entitled to your own opinion regarding Bala, however wikipedia is not your soapbox. If you want to praise Bala with POV statements then please put up your own website. If you continue this edit warring I will report you to the admins.Kerr avon 13:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be POV-pushing in both directions. I understand that the subject of this article is a controversial topic, but Misplaced Pages needs a neutral and verifiable article. I will try to analyze the article and help out, maybe we can all work together to create a stable version of this article. --Oden 15:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

- The sad thing is hapenning is that the LTTE is creating a humanitarian disaster by preventing the government from supplying food to vaharai. Then the LTTE mouth pieces and the eelamist who reside abroad use various internet fora and misuse wikipedia as their soapbox to propogate their lies against the government. However as the following news item shows the goverment air lifted a large stock of essential items to jaffna. THe GOvernment sent by sea and air a total of over 42 million tons of food and essential items to Jaffna.
- Of course it isn't Rajsingam or his cohorts who have the pleasure of living abroad in luxury who are paying for the food sent to jaffna, it is majority sinhalese, and the muslims and the sri lankan tamils who pay for it via taxes on their honest living. So remember that your alleged racists sinhalaya's are, and have been kind enough to keep paying out of there pockets to keep the tamils in the north from starvation all this years and at least have the decency to acknowledge it.
- The reason for this agitation in the eelam lobby is that they are in dire strait's, there is no visible prospect of achieving eelam in the near future, LTTE's suicide attacks on the Army Commander, and the presidents brother all failed. The war is turning against them with them loosing heavily in the eastern province with a severe weapons shortage and we have a strong leader at last via President Rajapakse. That is why they are trying to use this internationally prominent media to try to discredit and rape our government.
- I kindly request the wikipedia administrators not to allow this respected wiki to be defiled by allowing it to be used as a pro eelam and anti goverment attack site by the eelam lobby and the terrorists.Kerr avon 12:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Truth of the Message - 2
It is so funny to know the fact that the LTTE is creating a humanitarian disaster by preventing the government from supplying food to vaharai. Closure of the A-9 and the Vaharai fiasco is only the Government’s agenda on Politico-Military level and nothing else. Sri Lankan Government first started its offensive in the Mutur area by a unilateral military offensive violating the ceasefire agreement in the LTTE control areas and LTTE strategically withdrew and then attacked in the northern frontier Muhamalai area. In retaliation to that only the Sri Lankan Government closed the A-9 rout and starving the people. If they are really caring the people they won’t do it. But the continuous chauvinistic sentiment for decades which is still prevailing in the mainstream Sri Lankan politics, Tamils are being victimized.
They don’t want to share anything with Tamils on political leadership but only they know how to use Tamils. They well used once Sir Pon. Ramanathan in the Galle crisis of Sinhala- Muslim clash and Sir Ramanathan went to London and came back, they all praised him a lot. But later he was deceived and his brother Sir. Pon Arunachalam also was deceived. These are well-documented historical events. After that particular incident only Muslims started to think they were a separate national identity than the Tamils. They well used Laksman Kathirgamar and he went to say after a UN agency’s criticism on an Arial bombing in the peninsula by his infamous statement, 'UN should concentrate in controlling malaria and mosquitoes and not beyond its mandate'. Can any one deny this? Ask any Sri Lankan Tamil internationally; they will tell the balance about him.
When the Tamils are going to raise their voice they used to be identified with LTTE and marginaling them by Eelamist, mouthpieces of LTTE and by various other slants.
Even the LTTE is a derivative of the Sinhala chauvinism. They used to cast the Asia Tribune and various other pro-Sri Lankan Government media for quoting something while criticizing Tamilnet as pro-LTTE. I couldn’t understand this double standard. Asia Tribune is name shake only 'Asia', once you go through it, you will come to the know the bottom-line.
After diplomatic pressures from India and various other countries of the Co-Chairs of Sri Lankan Peace initiative only the Government was forced to do something. The German Government has stopped its aid to Sri Lanka and openly requested other European countries to do so the same way after Germany learnt its Tsunami aid never reached the Tamil dominated Mullaitivu area. If I am wrong check with the German Government. It’s crazy to note a poor country like Sri Lanka is boasting it is airlifting the goods for Jaffna Peninsula while there are land routs.
The expatriate Sri Lankan Tamils when they remit money for their kith and kin in Sri Lanka it is the Sri Lankan Government getting those hard currencies not the LTTE or any others. Do you know the foreign remittance from the western world by the Sri Lankans is the second highest foreign exchange earner in Sri Lanka? If I am wrong check with the Institute of Policy Studies in Sri Lanka. Do you think those are coming from other Sri Lankans who are abroad, not at all, they are only a minor percentage when compare to the Sri Lankan Tamil expatriates. Then that foreign exchange have been well utilized to buy all sophisticated supers sonic jets and other military weapons to massacre Tamils. Not only Sinhalese even the Tamils are paying Tax. Why Tamils should be fed by others Taxes. Are you all crazy?
It is ridiculous to note the statement, 'Sinhalaya's are, and have been kind enough to keep paying out of there pockets to keep the Tamils in the north from starvation all this years'. Do some homework you will come to know systematically you brought the Tamils to such a situation and now you all are boasting while you all are depending on foreign aids and grants showing the Tamil population also in the statistics. Very soon the International community will do some economic sanctions along with Germany, that time you will come to know all your rubbish statements.
Sri Lankan President is only strong enough to be defeated politically once and for all than other leaders of Sri Lanka little by little that is the difference.
While Ranil Wickremesinghe was campaigning for a power devolution under 'Federal model', the Great Mahinda Rajapakse came with chauvinistic 'Unitary model' and defeated his opponent and paved the way for all recent chaos. I am not praising LTTE for all its activities or their killing but my understanding is a highly conservative southern sentiment towards Tamils in power sharing is the mother of all chaos in the ethnic crisis.
Don’t take Kerr Avon all the Singhalese to have a ride on; most of the Sinhalese don’t know anything about the root of the crisis and they are below the poverty level and some extent they are surviving by sending their children to the war front for their daily meal not for the so-called bullshit sovereignty. You don’t know me in real life. You might be either linguistically or biologically a Sinhalese at the corner of the human passage on this Planet, but I have more intimate Sinhala friends in Sri Lanka and internationally than you.
I too kindly expect the wikipedia administrators to keep an eye on by not allowing the respected wiki to be used by the chauvinist elements and the state terrorists of Sri Lanka, using another propaganda machinery to deny a reasonable solution to Tamils and from systematic extra-judicial killings of Tamils where at least 4 persons a day are dying on regular basis and also to safeguard the good name of entire Sinhala race from these minority chauvinistic elements.
