Our relatives there are no longer secure. Tamils will no longer be able to live in Sri Lanka. The situation was such that we could go visit our relatives at some point, but now we can not go to Sri Lanka at all. The sound of the bombs we heard are still ringing in our ears. "

It has been 30 years since we came to Tamil Nadu and the results of the current elections have raised a huge question mark about the security of our relatives and the happiness of the Tamils".
