>>> In September next year voters in Scotland will go to the polls to decide whether or not to become independent.

UK is a real democracy. So peoples voice are heard. India is Hindicrazy not a democracy. So India would not allow such a vote.

Hold a Plebiscite (Referendum) in Tamilnadu on Independence
by Thanjai Nalankilli  2008 article
http://www.tamiltribune.com/08/0801.html

A counterargument I have heard from those who oppose Tamilnadu independence is: "Only a small percentage of people in Tamilnadu want independence from Indian rule". My reply has always been: "How do you know? What make you think that a vast majority is not for freedom from Indian rule?"

All we ask the Indian Government is either to hold a plebiscite in Tamilnadu or allow pro-independence parties to contest elections with the understanding that if pro-independence parties form government in the State of Tamil Nadu, they may hold a plebiscite. In either case all parties should abide by the results of the plebiscite. This is the only way to fairly and correctly assess the views of the people of Tamil Nadu. This is the democratic way.

OUTLINE
Abbreviations

1. Why do we need a plebiscite in Tamil Nadu?

2. If there is an yearning for independence, there would have been massive demonstrations in Tamil Nadu? We do not see any. So what is the need for a plebiscite?

3. Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. Why do you say there is no freedom of speech for pro-independence voices in Tamil Nadu?

4. There are periodic elections for the Indian parliament and Tamil Nadu legislative assembly. Why do you need a special vote or referendum or plebiscite on independence?

5. If people were offended by the electoral ban on pro-independence parties, why don't they boycott the parliament and assembly elections?

6. Prohibition of pro-independence parties from contesting elections came only after the 1963 constitutional amendment. Did any pro-independent parties contest elections before 1963?

7. The demand for plebiscite in Tamil Nadu is uncalled for. Would you demand that the United States of America (USA) hold a plebiscite (referendum) in New York State or California State to prove that these states are integral parts of USA? Then why do you demand that India hold a plebiscite in Tamil Nadu?

8. Has any country ever really allowed a separatist party to contest elections?

9. Has any country ever allowed a plebiscite?

10. Concluding Remarks
