[BBC problematic documentary: https://twitter.com/bbctamil/status/1648332487733698562]
Disgusting display of Sinhala propaganda against Tamils by @bbctamil (@BBCWorld) that owe an open apology to Tamils across the globe for targeted ethnic slurs. As Tamil continues to face genocide & ethnic cleansing, bbc working to promote a lie as the lady in this video* confirms.

The video begins by indicating oppressed castes are doing jobs related to their caste. This is a HUGE misnomer. Most are educated, successful around the globe, & been leaders of Tamil Eezham.
There are many people in Jaffna (the area covered in this video) across all castes still struggling to make a living and doing daily wage jobs. This has nothing to do with caste but rather their socio-economic status. There exists NO society in the world where all are educated.
Which temple that's preventing people across all castes to enter?! These are RARE & those temples have been addressed [Such indifferences NEVER existed when LTTE ruled the Tamil land].
It goes on to indicate people cannot choose the land they want to do agriculture. What kind of statement is this?! People do farming based on the land they have, or whose willing to lease them out. Again, NOTHING to do with caste.
Then the video goes on to talk about caste-based differences in school. With the exception of a FEW primary schools in remote villages, ALL established schools across Jaffna DOES NOT discriminate based on caste.
They would NOT know a student's caste as, unlike India, there is no caste indicated by anyone in a student's application. Why not indicate the name of the school? If there is proper documentation, you should indicate school names.
How can you generalize that 'low caste' kids cannot afford school uniforms? This is an issue across everyone due to war and economic crises. This also undermines the success of those who came from all castes in Jaffna.
Arun Siddharth is a known drug leader and a state propaganda machine who thrives in creating differences for the Tamils. There are NO secluded areas based on caste but villages which are formed based on communities that are related. This exists ACROSS the globe.
Vasundra Devi talks about not having the privilege of carrying the god statue - you go to temples like Nallur and Vallipira Kovil and you will see such differences DO NOT exist. Ms. Kunarathinam Devi [@ 4:15] clearly indicates this existed in the past, NOT now.
Upul Kumara interviews Devananda: though he has been a sell-out, he for once speaks the truth & says no such differences exist. Upul near the end of his documentary goes on to claim people are afraid to talk about the oppression with others yet they came on the video to tell him about it?! One too many contradictions in this propaganda documentary & no wonder DStocks r promoting Sinhala state lies!
The caste violence that took place in Vattukottai and Kaliyadi Santhi is within the SAME caste!!!! Most of the issues we face in Jaffna are due to socioeconomic factors rather than the caste-based discrimination we see in India or in the genocidal Sinhala state.
Taking a story of a society in the 60s and spinning it as a current society to suit the narrative of Buddhist Sinhala Chauvinism and Dravidian propaganda of removing Tamil nationalism is a disgusting display of selling journalism ethics by @bbctamil.
