The extent of mis-information and blind faith that exists among those who hear, read and think only in Tamil\u00a0 has been highlighted by the recent news from the Sevugaraya Ayyanar temple in South Poigainallur village near Nagapattinam in South India.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Prabhakaran is raised to the level of a Guardian Deity, with the\u00a0\u00a0 Pro-LTTE Periyar Dravida Kazhagam acting as the prime mover of this deification. Apparently, the Tamil Nadu police had moved rapidly and\u00a0 removed the statues. However,\u00a0 we can well ask\u00a0 what would happen\u00a0 when Jayalalitha recovers her full powers. Similarly what can happen if and when\u00a0 the Northern province in Sri Lanka is granted a full 13A+ constitution?<\/p>\n

There have surely been some attempts to\u00a0 re-ignite the Maavir celebrations (of suicide killers) on 27th November, as was done during the time of the LTTE.\u00a0 The LTTE had cemeteries typical of\u00a0 Christian countries (often with empty graves).\u00a0 The statues to LTTE hero-figures\u201d like Thileepan, (a person who was effectively converted into\u00a0 a human sacrifice in front of the Nallur temple) and other LTTE monuments are also missed by those who are still dreaming of the invincible LTTE\u201d.
\n\"prabha-Kovil1\"<\/a>
\nIn Europe there are no cemeteries to the slain Nazi\u00a0 fighters or worriers. An intense program of de-nazification was carried out after the fall of Hitler, while in Sri Lanka the old practice of pandering to separatist demands are mistakenly championed in the name of\u00a0 reconciliation\u201d.\u00a0 The very people who remained silent or rejoiced openly when a whole\u00a0 host of\u00a0 Tamil leaders and intellectuals ranging from Amirthalingam to Kadirgamar were assassinated\u00a0\u00a0 sided with the LTTE and acted as the LTTE mouthpiece. They are now the champions of human rights, reconciliation and good governance. Surely, reconciliation must commence with a condemnation of those events, as well as at least an apology from those who sided with the LTTE. They could express mitigating circumstance such as the mortal threat from the LTTE. However, no such sentiments have been expressed. Instead, the Chief Minister of the Northern province has accused every government since 1948 of genocide. Given that Mr. G. G. Ponnambalam came before Soulbury and accused the colonial government in Ceylon of discriminating against the Tamils, Mr. Wigneswaran could have included\u00a0 the British rulers of the time as those who began the\u00a0 genocide of the Tamil people\u201d in Sri Lanka! Of course, if the UNHRC-inquiry is to be done in affair manner, then\u00a0 those political\u00a0 leaders who colluded with the assassins of Amirthalingam, Kadirgamar and others\u00a0 have to be indicted as well.<\/p>\n

\"prabha2-Kovil\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sinhala reading public as well as the Urbanized southerners have always been oblivious of what is going on in the North, or in Tamil Nadu,\u00a0 because they do not know Tamil. They were even fooled by the name The Federal party\u201d while the true name of the challenger was The Ilankai Thamil Arasu Kadchi\u201d, viz., the Lanka Tamil Sovereignty party.<\/p>\n

Some pictures of the Kovil statues\u00a0 dedicated to Prabhakaran\u00a0 as reported from a Tamil newspaper are presented\u00a0 for the consideration of your readers, as this should be food for thought for every one.<\/p>\n
