With the LTTE losing ground in
Sri Lanka this article may seem as though I am supporting the LTTE cause. But we must understand the history of what made the LTTE to born. First and foremost you must not be oriented in reading this article, if you are then go no more. The LTTE is not a terrorist organization which spreads terror to the world. It came into existence when the rights of the Tamils in
Sri Lanka were in danger. The Tamils who were inhabitants in the region for almost 800 or more years (during 1200 AD) have been ripped of their citizenship, made servants without rights in their own lands. That is they are made to work in their own lands who were basically landlords.
Tamils are people who are acknowledged even by the British as the most loyal to their superiors anywhere in the world. We keep on talking that the Israelis are displaced some 2000 years ago and so we have the right to offer them the place (Israel), then what about Tamils who are being flushed out right now in a networked world. The world must not be a mere spectator as this kind of attitude creates a double standard in the world policy which has to be taken care by the civilized world. Though all these activities by the Sri Lankans are still swallowed without much resistance by the Tamils during 1980’s but when the Sri Lankan majority Singhalese made an outright selling of Tamil meats on the streets of the capital alongside pig, goat, beef caused furiousness among the Tamil people across the world but now this event is totally forgotten and without knowing the cause of the struggle people are talking more about terrorism, rebels etc from LTTE.
Though the government of India once acknowledged the movement as legitimate since it is a non democratic act against minority people who are their own people. But later did not involve much because of its own problems in Kashmir, Northeast etc. The state government of Tamil-Nadu which talks about the rights of Tamils have not supported during the crisis after 1990. This led to the decrease in the intensity of the movement though still it was a legitimate act. One thing must be kept in mind that LTTE never supported an armed wage against any other country nor did it use for politics and killing innocent people.
The state government of Tamil-Nadu which has been a mere spectator of innocent killings of Tamils in the Sri-Lankan region has played no role in bringing peace or justice. At the present Chief Minister of Tamil-Nadu(TN) who has been using this as a instrument to win votes in the elections and contain his post. When the LTTE needed the most during the onslaught of Sri-Lankan forces in recent times the government of TN stayed as a mere spectator and did nothing but raise a few notices in the press that we support the cause. Though the people of TN accept him as though he is supporting the cause the CM merely acted as double agent acting in favor of Sri Lanka than the Tamils in Sri-Lanka.
Though this struggle may continue for some more time but this is a black day for the Tamils and their struggle for the right to live in their own land. Standing behind them for their right is the struggle is what is needed at present and to avoid killing of innocent right-less civilians. It is accepted from the fact that till the very last drop of their blood they would fight for the rights of the Tamils in Sri-Lanka with or without the support of Government of TN. But surely it is the single most heinous act on part of Tamils in the world not to support the cause.
So in order to bring normalcy, the civilized countries in the world must and should interfere and end this struggle and bring peace in the region.
Let the World live at Peace and Not PIECE.
