Boundaries - II

Continuing from previous post.

Consider an example-

About 10,000 people in Srilanka wanted a separate country for them. 10,000 people is not a small number. What we did. We crushed these 10K people. We killed them. We tried to talk to them and when they were rigid about choices they wanted to make, we just killed them and celebrated peace.
It breaks my heart when we celebrate peace after 10,000 people have been killed.
If a democracy cant give something to a group of 10K people, how can I believe it will give me freedom as an individual?

What I would have done if I was given power to talk to these people is -

I would have talked to them about how it is beneficial to stay under one government. How it is a win-win solution for each of us who will be affected because of violence. If these talked would have failed - I would happily create another nation in proportion to the population and be happy with it. I would have taken a independent vote of all Srilankan Tamils on the issue. Even if one person wanted a separate state, I would have said, yes you can give it. We will give you exactly space that each person is entitled to (area/population).

My only point of view is - even if one person wants something so much for him/herself that he is ready to die for it, he should be given that as long as it does not really affect others.
