1) There was never any ethnic basis for self-determination for the Confederate states only a political desire for independence by a section of the population (and a minority at that). Soon after the Tigers are defeated shooting will start again, I assure you. I'd even put money on it.
2) The southern neighbour of Nepal? India? Anyway that's beside the point. The reality is whether you support an elected government or an unelected military; and in this particular discussion I support the former and I suspect that they will win as well if it comes down to a shooting war.
