H^2, Thanks for the reply. How can one carry forward the dialog when the GOI is not interested or is ideologically bound from pursuing the dialog? Is there scope for citizens to participate? To me another hurdle is that the SL Tamil cause is hijacked by TN politicians on linguistic grounds. And this is used to pressure the central govt.
One move that should be taken up regardless of the dialog is that SL Tamils issues should be taken up at all India level and moved out of TN politics. What I mean is that GOI should take up the SL Tamils cause on Human Rights grounds and not any mushy PIO or linguistic grounds. It is the linguistic linkage which raises the red flag with the SL elites.
