தமிழ்த் தேசியம்

"To us all towns are one, all men our kin.
Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill
Man's pains and pains' relief are from within.
Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !."
 - Tamil Poem in Purananuru, circa 500 B.C

Tamilnet banned?
- How to continue to access the site from Sri Lanka

'..States that want to oppress a people do so by breaking their political will to resist injustice... It is easier to enslave a people who have lost their ability to understand the nature of their oppression..'  D. Sivaram, Founding Editor of Tamilnet, memorial speech for  Slain Batticaloa journalist Aiyathurai Nadesan, 7 August 2004

Reports received by Groundviews indicate that Tamilnet is inaccessible from many major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Sri Lanka. At the time of writing, the site is confirmed to be inaccessible from:

SLT (ADSL and dial-up)
Lankacom (leased line)
Lankabell (dial-up)
Suntel (dial-up)

Only Tamilnet seems to be affected. There is a workaround. Click here to access all the content on the site through Google. It’s not pretty, but all the content is there. We will be keeping tabs on this issue and post information and updates as we receive them.
