"The Indian Establishment has an arrogant way of reminding that it is the Eezham Tamils who will be needing India and not vice versa. But it is time to tell that they also will need us," writes a political analyst in Colombo. “There is an increasing tendency among Eezham Tamils today to rely more on the West for solutions and the blame squarely falls especially on the present Indian Establishment. Observers feel that in recent times the mounting anger of Eezham Tamils are more directed at perpetrators and abetters of the war than at Colombo, for it is always expected what the irredeemably chauvinistic state will do. If not for the abetters, the Tamils would have handled it on their own. In the Tamil mind, India tops the list of perpetrators and abetters”, writes the political analyst in Colombo who regularly contributes to TamilNet.
Full text of the article:
Victories in war decided by military might are ephemeral. India should have already learnt the lesson in the late 80s. But a bunch of people in the Congress Establishment and the bureaucrats installed by them in the government seem to have hardly understood the point.
The will power of the Eezham Tamils and their diaspora; and the wish of the people of Tamil Nadu and their global diaspora, have clearly demonstrated without any iota of doubt, what they want and whom they support.
Knowingly, the extra-parliamentary elements directing the affairs of the Indian government have led the country into committing the worst ever anti-democratic crime since its independence, in the case of the Eezham Tamils.
The latest is the agenda set by the Indian Establishment, hand in glove with genocidal Colombo, to imprison the Tamil civilians against their wish at the cost of any number of casualties, humiliate them in inhuman ways, break the backbone of their independent spirit and put the remaining of them behind the barbed wire of Colombo’s concentration camps.
The Indian bureaucrats, the brains hatching treachery and operating at the behest of the Congress Establishment, were rude to Tamil National Alliance (TNA) members when they received them last in Colombo, sometimes back. When the entire Tamil Nadu was demonstrating for Eezham Tamils one of the bureaucrats irked them by talking on the intimate friendship he forged with Colombo.
The people who perpetrated and mainly abetted the war, the people who nationally and internationally operated against all attempts to call off the war, have now called the TNA to Delhi for talks, that too after setting the agenda for Colombo to pounce on the civilians with all ferocity.
The brutal coercion is too explicit. It is not for talks they are receiving the TNA, but to dictate terms.
The Indian Establishment has an arrogant way of reminding that it is always the Eezham Tamils who will be needing India and not vice versa. There was a time when many Eezham Tamils believed it and were restraining themselves. But it is time to tell the Indian Establishment that they also will need us.
It is not that the Eezham Tamils don’t understand the motives behind the insinuations of the Co-Chairs, their role in perpetrating and abetting the war, their deliberate and scheming delay in arresting the human crisis and unwillingness in recognizing the independently waged liberation struggle.
But there is an increasing tendency among Eezham Tamils today to rely more on the West for solutions and the blame squarely falls especially on the present Indian Establishment.
Observers feel that in recent times the mounting anger of Eezham Tamils are more directed at perpetrators and abetters of the war than at Colombo which is waging the war, for it is always expected what the irredeemably chauvinistic state will do. If not for the abetters, the Tamils would have handled it on their own.
In the Tamil mind, India tops the list of perpetrators and abetters.
It is the last chance for the Indian Establishment to change the equations.
Individual egos operating without mass backing will bring in only disaster.
The silence of intellectuals and the sabotage of mainstream media in India, working against the will power of the oppressed, abetting a demonic state in the island and failing in exposing their own government, have committed Himalayan blunders. Belated remorse is of no use.
