By Concerned Citizen<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

I am putting together some information I have read up on the Lankaweb and other sources, in Defense of Sri Lanka going to war with the LTTE over the many years and exposing certain facts that the International Community tends to ignore.<\/p>\n

After some 500 years of suffering under Colonial Rule, we the Lankans, have some Questions to ask and facts to present:<\/p>\n

No one in the UNHRC is asking why it is that the Tamil leaders of Lanka have consistently asked for a Separate state even during the time of British Colonial rule (1815-1948)\u00a0\u200bwhere the Tamils were the favored ones, \u200band the same demand going on today, even though they have all the rights that others in Lanka have.<\/p>\n

Even though Tamil Dalits have migrated all over the world to countries such as Malaysia, Fiji, Mauritius, Madagascar, South Africa, Canada, Europe, Australia etc.,\u00a0it is only in Sri Lanka that they want a separate state.\u00a0<\/strong>Is it not because we are only 12 miles away from Tamil Nadu the true home of Tamil where 15 million Tamil Dalits reside, struggling to get out of the institutionalized slavery they experience?\u00a0 Is it not because the Tamil Language has been given Official\/National status with Free Education and Free Health Care?<\/p>\n

None of the UN bodies question the role of Tamil Nadu politics dversely\u00a0affecting Sri Lanka. They ignore the 15 Million plus Tamil Dalits in Tamil Nadu struggling to leave Tamil Nadu.\u00a0The Prevention of Atrocities Act of India ((as late as 1995) is not effective in Tamil Nadu.\u00a0 Most cases of human degradation (Tamil Dalits degraded in the most inhuman way – many cases exposed now through the internet) are not even acted on.\u00a0 The Times of India reported just this last June,<\/p>\n

\u200bthat a Tamil Dalit youth had dared to enter a Hindu Temple and for that he was abused by his higher caste assailants urinating into this poor boy’s mouth.\u00a0 This is the situation in Tamil Nadu today, yet the UNHRC has not taken any action.\u00a0 Why is that?<\/p>\n

No one at the UNHRC is asking about Tamil Dalit discrimination going on in Tamil Nadu.\u00a0 When PM Nehru’s Anti-Secessionist Law came in (1963), putting a halt to Tamil Nadu’s separatism from India, the Separate state call in Lanka by Tamil leaders intensified culminating in the Vaddukoddai Resolution of 1976, for use of Violence in achieving a Separate state called Eelam.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis Declaration has still not been officially revoked. \u00a0\u200b\u200bWhy is that?<\/p>\n

Tamil Nadu fishermen poach fish in Sri Lanka waters.\u00a0 No UN body has taken action to stop it.\u00a0 Instead, Lanka is punished with a fish sales ban in the EU countries, stating that Lanka fish boats do not carry GPS equipment or some such excuse.\u00a0 TN fishermen do not carry GPS equipment either and they spoil the sea bed with bottom trawling.\u00a0\u200bMost of the fishing vessels are used owned by Tamil Nadu politicians. \u200bLanka loses some one billion dollars worth of fish to TN poaches each year. Yet, Lanka is punished.\u00a0 Why is that?<\/p>\n

\u200bWhy was the JVP created by the poverty stricken youth of Sinhala Buddhist village families?\u00a0 Do they know that almost all the SE Asian Buddhist countries had the same problem\u00a0after<\/strong>\u00a0Colonization of over hundreds of years?<\/p>\n

Does the International Community realize that over 50% of the Tamil population of Sri Lanka live among the Sinhalese live in the South and West outside the North and East they demand as a separate state?<\/p>\n

\u200bMore Questions for the UNHRC: \u200b<\/p>\n

Why was the Sirima\/Shashthri Pact allowed to be abrogated by India?<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200bWhy was the 1983 Riot orchestrated by a combination of India via Dixit, the then JR UNP Govt and some other powers allowed to happen? \u200bIt was obvious that it was orchestrated since many Tamils were ready with passports to leave the country, and Tamil ambassadors were in place in London, Paris and Berlin to show the Riot videos, which were sent to them by Tamil leaders as soon as it happened.<\/p>\n

\u200b \u00a0 \u200bWhy was the 13-A imposed under\u00a0DURESS<\/strong>\u00a0on Sri Lanka by India (1987)?<\/p>\n

\u200bWhy has the 6-A NEVER been activated?\u200b<\/p>\n

Since Sri Lanka has the Tamil Language as a National\/Official language and offers free Education & Health Care, many hundreds of thousands of Tamil Dalits have left Tamil Nadu and entered Lanka as illegal migrants.\u00a0 This is in addition to\u00a0over a Million and a half Tamils of Dalit origin brought into Lanka during British & Dutch Colonial times to work as indentured labor in the coffee, tea and tobacco plantations.\u00a0 They have all benefitted through Tamil Language use as well as well as the Free Education (including University) and Free Health Care.<\/p>\n

\u200bNo other country in the world has given these benefits, including Tamil Nadu. \u200b<\/p>\n

Now let us examine\u00a0\u200bsome of \u200bthe\u00a0\u200bLOSSES\u200b <\/strong>\u00a0to Lanka due to t\u200bhe Tamil Leaders demand for a separate state:<\/p>\n

\u200b(1) Massive loss of life (mainly Sinhala Buddhists as well as Sinhala and Tamil leaders.\u00a0It is estimated that over the 30 years period almost 100,000 people died. Over 27,000 Lanka Army soldiers have so far died to stop terrorism and defend the integrity of country).\u00a0 The psychological damage to soldiers as well as lay people in Lanka are immeasurable.\u00a0 Mistrust and divisions within the various groups grew.\u00a0 Also, huge war expenses fighting the terror group, the LTTE, which was trained in Tamil Nadu, India.\u00a0 All that money could have gone into developing the country for welfare of all Lankans. It is estimated the LTTE too lost about $5 billion on the arms shipments, alone which were sunk to the bottom by Sri Lanka navy with help from India and USA.\u00a0 Those moneys could have been used for such good purposes.<\/p>\n

(2) Loss of Reputation with the world community since the 1983 trumped up Riots is irreparable.\u00a0 These arranged Riots \u200benabled some one Million Tamils of Lanka to migrate to the West as refugees.\u00a0 This Tamil Diaspora went as Refugees as no western country would have accepted them otherwise.\u00a0 Hence the trumped up Riots.\u00a0 The present day Tamil Diaspora lobby hard with votes and dollars to influence foreign organizations as well as international bodies, their objective being to form Tamil Eelam for Tamils only.\u00a0 Lies, Cheat & Deceit go on apace to foreign organizations and govts to achieve such a State.\u00a0 No proper evidence of crimes supposedly committed is even asked for!\u00a0 In the meantime, they are demanding a Federal State for Tamils, merging the N&E (that was the stand of the TNA at the last election).\u00a0 The GoSL is supposed to fund such a state too.<\/p>\n

(3) Sri Lanka suffered enormously due to the treacherous acts of the Tamil Leaders in Sri Lanka. In spite of having all the benefits that all Sri Lankans have they found it expedient to wage a war of terror against the country and Sinhala and other people of Lanka. The acts of compassion by the citizens and govt of Lanka were returned with vicious anger against them.<\/p>\n

(4) \u00a0All Sri Lanka wanted was cheap Labor from Tamil Nadu.\u00a0 What a price to pay!\u00a0 Have the International Community realized that the quest for Cheap Labor has brought the country to its knees?\u00a0 Have the International Community realized that GoSL, past and present, have given the Tamil Dalit Cheap Labor the maximum that can be given at huge costs to life of others in Lanka?<\/p>\n

\u200bForeign countries for their own agendas are exploiting all these acts by Tamil Leaders. \u200b<\/p>\n

Loss of INDEPENDENCE FOR LANKA IS NOT REPLACEABLE.<\/p>\n

DO TAMIL LEADERS FEEL ANY SHAME AND REMORSE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO A NATION THAT HELPED DALIT TAMILS? TO DATE NO TAMIL LEADER HAS AT LEAST APOLOGIZED TO THE SRI LANKAN PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY HAD TO ENDURE FOR OVER 30 YEARS FOR THE SAKE FOR SEPARATISM.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
