A case against the LTTE



I am afraid. Afraid very much, especially because the influential group of people have threatened through their own spokesperson who happens to occupy the gaddi of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu at present, that POTA would be invoked even against the sympathisers of the LTTE. When the Hindu fundamentalist organizations like the RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal were banned in the year 1992 following their genocidal activities on December 6, 1992, just because these organisations were meant to protect and promote the interests of the Brahmins, the present Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu permitted them to hold a very big conference in Coimbatore and it was convened by. Mr. Ramagopalan of the Hindu Munnani. Various leaders of the BJP who were the self-proclaimed leaders of the RSS had attended the conference. The conference passed a resolution for lifting the ban.There was no ban on their assembly and speech and the conference was given protection by their Ms. Jayalalitha. Besides, there were fiery articles in various newpapers against the ban. That ban was not used at all because the she too belonged to the same community she had publicly proclaimed in the Legislative Assembly.


.
But, the Eelam Tamils issue is mainly concerned with Sudras only. So, the Tamil Nadu Brahmins can impose their Manu needhi and declare that anyone talks of this issue would be booked under the POTA. After all, what else was the purpose of the POTA? Was it promulgated to curb terrorism in the real and publicly accepted sense? No. It was intended to be used only to promote Hindutva. Mr. Shivraj Singh Chauhan, the MP of the House of the People and the head of the youth wing of the BJP has openly declared in Goa on 13.4.2002, without any sense of shame or sense of guilt that 'terrorism' is a word which is going to be used by them to promote Hindutva. "We cannot abandon Hindutva - if we cannot project it through Ayodhya because of the NDA allies, then it will be through some other issue, such as terrorism". ( Times of India - 14.4.2002). So the hidden meaning behind the Tamil Nadu Brahmins' demand for invoking of POTA against the sympathisers of the LTTE would be easily understood by all the Tamil Sudras and they would not talk of any Sinhalese atrocities against the Eelam Tamils. Tamil Nadu Aryans have surpassed the Sinhalese (who also claim to be Aryans, as per their official publications) in their Sudra hatred and are thereby abetting the genocide in Sri Lanka. Any serious student of world history is aware that the RSS, BJP terrorists are more cruel, pitiless and brutal than the Spartans who butchered the Helots and would commit any and every kind of crimes listed in the book of their ancestors Chanakya and Hitler just in order to maintain their hegemony over the others.


So I am afraid. Afraid of their POTA. So, I want to make it very clear that I am not talking here in favour of the LTTE but actually against the LTTE. I am here only for analysing the basic issues underlying the phenomenon called the LTTE and suggest ways to make it just redundant. Any serious human being who wants to entertain one or the other opinion about the LTTE must spare some time to examine the cause for the appearance of the LTTE in the Sri Lankan political scene.



What is the cause?


1

In the year 1957, there was a historic agreement between the Tamils and the Sinhalese. That agreement had been unilaterally abrogated by the Sinhalese, just because the Sinhalese monks did not like it. But for that abrogation the phenomenon called LTTE would not have been there at all.The 1957 B-C pact, which provided for the Regional Councils was the one agreed to by all the Lankan Tamils and had been signed on their behalf by the great Jaffna Gandhi, Father Chelvanayakam. If only the chauvinist Sinhalese UNP politicians had not orchestrated a campaign against it by joining hands with the Sinhalese Buddhist clergy, there would have been no Sri Lankan problem at all. It was Jayawardane who led the march for pogram in 1958 against the Tamils. Even the Jewish holocaust had been done secretly but the Tamils holocaust was done in public with fanfare. The LTTE was born much later. It would not have been born if the Sinhalese had not unilaterally broken their agreement.

It was Oct.20, 1972. Dinamani, the Tamil newspaper of the Indian Express group, said as follows:- "Demanding equal rights, the Tamils (of Sri Lanka) have started their struggle in the Gandhian way against the provisions of the new constitution which have rendered them as second class citizens". The Tamils started their struggle symbolically on Oct.2, 1972, the birthday of Mahathma Gandhi. At that time there was no militancy. The present-day militants had participated in the said struggle launched in 1972.The Sinhalese Government should have conceded their demands if they were legitimate. Or convinced them that their demands were illegitimate. But it did neither. In course of time, when the 1958 was sought to be re-enacted, the very youth who participated in the non-violent movements took to arms as that alone was the language understood by the Sinhalese. So it was the Sinhalese Government which had driven these youth to resort to arms. But for the improper and inhuman response of the Sinhalese, the phenomenon of LTTE would not have arisen at all.

The 1977 election manifesto of the United National Party of Mr. Jayawardane said, "The UNP accepts the position that there are numerous problems confronting the Tamil-speaking people. The lack of solution to their problems has made the Tamil-speaking people support even a movement for the creation of a separate state". This itself, other evidences apart, testifies to the fact that "the lack of solution to their problems" was the cause and the "call for separation" was only the effect. The UNP manifesto has also brought out very clearly that the problems confronting the Tamils were "numerous". the justification in the demand of the Tamils for their Eelam, by these words in the said manifesto. The call in the 1970s for Eelam was only an offshoot of denial (on racial basis) of the birthrights of the Tamils for over three decades. So if the cause had not been there, the call for Eelam would not have been there. But for this cause, the phenomenon of LTTE would not have been there at all.

The aforesaid manifesto went further to state that "in the interest of national unity, so necessary for the economic development of the whole country, the party feels such problems should be solved without loss of time. The party when it comes to power will take all possible steps to remedy their grievances in such fields such as (1) Education, (2) Colonisation, (3)Use of Tamil Language, (4) Employment in the public and semi-public corporations". In spite of having recognized the problem of Tamils in such categorical terms, the UNP, after coming to power, not only did not check the loss of time and stop the "government -sponsored -colonisation", but instead activated the process of colonization and accelerated the process of alienation, especially during the years 1981 and 1982.The ruling United National Party, after having shed crocodile tears and obtained the votes of the Tamils in southern Sri Lanka, chose to play the traditional Sinhalese game of deceit. It was "rubbing the sore when it should have brought the plasters", with due apologies to Shakespeare.But for this negative action and positive inaction on the part of the UNP, the phenomenon of LTTE would not have continued at all.


5

The same Jayawardane who led a march of 'loots' in 1958 against Tamils had once again, on 26.9.83, reiterated that he would not accept the 1958 Regional Councils concept. He had on that day boasted once again of his participation in the genocide of Tamils in the year 1958. But for such boasting of Jayawardane about the holocaust of Tamils, the phenomenon of LTTE would not have continued at all.




6

In the year 1984, Mrs. Indira Gandhi formulated the "Annexure-G proposals" as a way of settlement between the two linguistic people. But the same Jayawardane had treated the proposals with contempt. And threw the same in the litter-bin. He had also seen to it that Mr.Parthasarathy was also thrown into the litter-bin and replaced by Mr.Bhandari of his choice. Such was the influence of Jayawardane on the bureaucrats in the South Block. What was puzzling was neither the Indian Government nor the Sri Lankan Government explained how and why the Tamils were not entitled to those rights. There was no argument. Only questions with no answers. But for such capitulation to Jayawardane, the phenomenon of LTTE would not have continued at all.



7

Jayawardane had, as if grinding into the already inflicted wound, repeatedly, even in the year 1984, made it known that the extent of powers he would yield to the Tamils would "be the maximum devolution of powers the majority is prepared to concede" (Indian Express, Madurai Edition. 5.9.84). The same is the case even now. Thus, according to the Sinhalese politicians in power, what counts is not what the Tamils are naturally entitled to, but what the Sinhalese would generously condescend to. The question of justice in this proposition apart, this novel principle of is the contribution of Sinhalese politicians to the students and professors of political science. But for such a command that the minority should be at the mercy of the majority, the Eelam Tamils would not have had to think of independent nation and the phenomenon of LTTE would not have arisen on the Tamil horizon.


8

The Hindu had, in its editorial dated 7.7.84 ridiculed Jayawardane from using the term terrorism to cover up the Sinhalese misdeeds. It said, "The second point concerns the bogey of 'terrorism' which Colombo imagines it can use in a bid to place India on the defensive. Since the very use of the term 'terrorist' tends to pre-empt the argument it must be clarified that the phenomenon of militancy among the Lankan Tamil youth is primarily a political phenomenon, reflecting the maturing of the crisis. When progress along the constitutional lines becomes blocked, when normal and legitimate political expectations are repeatedly frustrated, when it appears that there is no solution within the rules of the game, historical experience demonstrates it is a situation tailor-made, for the development of militancy, including that part of it which takes recourse to non-peaceful methods". There had been many groups of youth who had taken to arms. But, they are not trigger happy perverts; nor are they waylaying robbers. They too have all desire to work, earn, marry, rear children and lead a peaceful life like all others with self-respect. But, all this is possible for them only if they have their Eelam. For, the Sinhalese Government is denying them any other credible alternative. So calling them 'terrorists', castigating their motives and condemning them to hell cannot be a service to humanity. But, when it comes to ideals, the South Black policy makers had never kept in view justice and fair-play. Otherwise, the phenomenon called the LTTE would not have had any relevance to Tamil society.

There was then the Thimpu meet organised by the Government of India under the auspices of the well-meaning Rajiv Gandhi. As far as the Tamils are concerned, in spite of the existence of moderates and militants and many splinter groups in both categories, all of them had agreed on four basic concepts as the common demand of the island Tamils during the 1985 Thimpu meet. Anything short of these demands would only pave way for the 'master and servant' relationship between the Sinhalese and the Tamils. Those demands were not just the demands of the LTTE. They were the demands of all sections of the Eelam Tamils. It may be recalled that the UNP itself had accepted in the year 1977 that there were "numerous" problems confronting the Tamils. If only these minimal demands had been accepted by the Sinhalese in 1985, the phenomenon called the LTTE would have been only one of the many groups and would have had only marginal influence in the Sri Lankan polity.

"…The direct and indirect acts of violence by the Sri Lankan army and police against the Tamils have continued unabated and these are the basic causes for the emergence of militancy on the part of the Tamils in their struggle to save their honour and protect their lives…"-says the memorandum presented to the Prime Minister on 23.4.85 by an eight- party delegation led by Mr. M. G. Ramachandran, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu." Besides the Chief Minister, "the delegation comprised Mr.O.Subramaniam (Cong.I), Mr. M.Kalyanasundaram (CPI), Mr. N. Sankariah (CPI-M), Mr. Kumari Anandan (GKNC), Mr. Abdus Samad (Muslim League), Mr. K.Tamilarasan (Republican Party of India) and Mr. S.Andi Thevar (AIFB). The State Chief Secretary Mr. T V Antony was also present at the meeting."- The Hindu. 24.4.85."The delegation said that the Sri Lankan government, in an attempt to camouflage the violence by its own army and police forces and commandos trained by foreign forces, was seeking to highlight the Tamils' attempts to save their honour and lives as militancy and terrorism. This should be exposed to the world and the Indian Government should send a high-power delegation to various countries to mobilize international opinion against the genocide in Sri Lanka". If only the unanimous call of the people of Tamil Nadu as evidenced through this statement had been heeded, the phenomenon called the LTTE would have become irrelevant.


11

There was a general election in the island in the year 1977. And the election manifesto of the Tamil United Liberation Front was to have independent Tamil Eelam. It was on this plank that the election had been conducted and the party had won all the seats in Eelam. The call for Eelam was therefore the legal and rightful choice of the people of Eelam and outsiders cannot compel the Eelam Tamils to remain subjected to Sinhalese tyranny. It is surprising to the world community (except those who do not know the Indian bureaucracy) how and why the Indian conscience is not shaken when the far away Norwegians are so much concerned about this segment of humanity. But for this lack of conscience on the part of the Indian bureaucracy, the phenomenon called the LTTE would not have acquired continued relevance.



I hope all the readers would get convinced that there was and there is an opportunity before the international community to make the LTTE redundant through very simple means as explained above. To those who do not want to remember all the facts, the following statement itself would be enough to ensure that the world is a peaceful place.



"Violence is lured by inequality,
non-violence by equality."


-Mahathma Gandhi

-As quoted in the first page of the Employment News,

a Government of India publication in November 1999.




Chapter Two

So, if anyone is interested in making the LTTE unnecessary, they must come forward to convince the Sinhalese to accept the three minimal demands of the LTTE. Not because, the LTTE stands for it. But because it is the unanimous stand of all sections of the Eelam Tamils. During the Thimpu meet, the Indian Government had arrived at this Lowest Common Denominator after discussion with all the groups both moderates and militants. It must be noted that the UNP itself had confessed there were "numerous" problems confronting the Eelam Tamils. Indian Government has the capacity to prevail upon the Sinhalese politicians. It can be done easily. But it does not, at present.


Because, the foreign policy of India is not evolved by the government as such; not by the politicians elected by the people. But by the Brahmin bureaucrats who have arrogated and appropriated the entire governance for themselves in the South Block. The Aryan connection is apparently manifest in the decisions taken by these bureaucrats and implemented by the politicians occupying the posts of ministers. The Sinhalese Aryans could not conceal their glee. ."Whoever comes and goes in Delhi, it is the Brahmins of the South Block who call the shots", the Sri Lankan newspaper, the government-controlled English eveninger, The Observer, wrote on March 5, 1998.



It is for this purpose only that they vehemently opposed the reservation for the SCs, STs and the BCs. They occupy 80 - 100% of all the Class I and Class II posts in the Central Ministry. The government has admitted by its action in modifying the recruitment rules for the Army especially with reference to Sikhs, that any section which occupies the executive more than its proportionate share would tend to promote only its interests. (Details in the thread Posted At 22:04:33 11/17/2000 . Visit this portion of the thread in the thread No. 9577 in Sysindia archives). (Visit also for the details of Brahmin monopoly in the Central bureaucracy "Comics@Hub"." target="new">http://comics.forumhub.com">Comics@Hub". If the 4% Siks occupy 10% of the posts in army and pose threat to the nation because of their loyalty to their community, wont the 3% Brahmins who occupy 100% posts in all the departments of the centre aim at protecting only their community?

Rajiv Gandhi was really annoyed when he came to know while going through the office files that the killing of Rameswaram fishermen off Kachativu by the Sinhalese Navy was not only unjust but plainly unlawful. But, he was prevailed upon by the Brahmin bureaucrats of the Ministry of External Affairs that he should not allow his conscience to take decision on this issue but just enjoy the game of playing politics although it cost the lives of poor fishermen of Tamil Nadu. These fishermen may be Indians and the killers may be Sinhalese. But, that was none of the business of the Indian Government, they persuaded. Because, the killers claimed themselves to be Aryans and the killed did not belong to the Aryans. (Readers may please go through the paragraph "Training for assassination and murders" under the thread "The Helots and the Indian Helots" No. 20201). They did not permit him to defend the Indian territorial sovereignty just because the people affected were none but Tamils. All the Indo-Aryan pen-wielding political terrorists like the Hindu, Thuglak, etc., did not care to publish the truth, only because the people affected were Sudras. The people who ceded Kachativu to another country are waxing eloquent on nationalism and patriotism.




3

The same Indo-Aryan pen-wielding political terrorists suppressed all the atrocities of the IPKF on Eelam Tamils. But, the venomous grip of these Brahmin terrorists has not yet extended to all parts of the world. So, the entire world except India knows what mayhem was committed by the soldiers of the IPKF. The Hindu had once through oversight allowed the following to be printed in the cover story in the Sunday Magazine of the Hindu on Dec.24, 1995, that the massacres committed by the IPKF troops on the Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka have been "well - documented in international reports".


4

Another slip-up on the part of this magazine was to publish the following three sentences Mr. Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer had called for a national commission to inquire into the alleged IPKF excesses. "… many members of the Indian Forces suffered from the Occupation Army syndrome of lawless loot and violent sex. I lament my inability to be patriotic enough not to protest against Indian jawans in a foreign land if they rob or rape, torture or practise gun culture. If one loves human rights one must condemn this praxis. Heavily censored media minimize and distort this and both Colombo and Delhi are experts at the art", he said. (The Hindu 16.5.1989). Justice Krishna Iyer was an exception like Bharathiyar, VRR Dikshidar, Sesha Iyengar and P T Srinivasa Iyengar. And the Tamil community is always indebted to them for the justice and fair play in their outlook.



5

But this is a land where the killer of Mahatma Gandhi can be glorified in the name of nationalism. Mee Nathuram Godse Bolsthoy is a drama written by Dalvi and staged at various places. Courts have permitted the write-up on the ground of freedom of speech and our own "nationalist" newspaper the Hindu had also editorially upheld that freedom.

But, the questionable approach of the Brahmins of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in accusing the LTTE for the murder of Rajiv Gandhi should not even be talked by anyone, they veto. That is not in national interest, they say. Because, they are born nationals. Not only these Brahmins but also their magazines. The Hindu styled itself as the "national newspaper". It is in existence serving the cause of the Brahmins for the past 125 years. But, how come the recently born Frontline became the "national" newsmagazine? Because, it was born to the national newspaper. Everything is by birth, for these people.


6

If only Mr. Natwar Singh is examined properly, all the foul play by the Brahmin bureaucrats would come to light. After all it was he who masterminded the IPKF action and advised Rajiv Gandhi to place the sovereign army of India at the disposal and command of another nation's President to work as his mercenaries. Who insulted the fame and dignity of the Indian Army would clearly become evident once the courts go through the records of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Rajiv Gandhi had been just used by these unscrupulous elements to achieve their nefarious, wicked and despicable desires.
They do not want these facts to come to light. That is why they get frightened once anyone opens his mouth in defence of not the LTTE but the Eelam Tamils.


7

It was the same Brahmin controlled Indian politicians who sabotaged the attempt of the Argentine government to take the case to the International Court at the Hague. Because, they knew that justice was on the side of Tamils and the International Court would uphold it. They therefore became afraid. Because, that would not serve their Brahminical cause. They are ready to commit any crime to maintain their hegemony. The way they attempted to frame Mr. Nadeem Shah and got exposed by the British Court is recent history. (Details in the thread 'Potosmriti').


8

The Indian government is run by the Brahmin bureaucrats who are communal to the core. Their conspiratorial tactics would stand exposed in any international court. When such case is taken up,

I shall appear there for the LTTE
