“The vacuum created by the LTTE in Lankan Tamil culture enabled them
to creep into it unnoticed and fill the void. Today LTTE front
organisations carryout ‘Ponku Thamizh’ events throughout the world
which are seen as the residue Lankan Tamil culture! Unsurprisingly
these ‘cultural shows’ also collect money for the LTTE. Thousands of
years old Tamil culture based on non-violence and collectivism has
been replaced by a cannibalistic ritual. What a crime?”
The word “genocide” is a heavily abused term in the Sri Lankan
context. It is also the most popular oxymoron used with regard to the
conflict. On the outward over 70,000 people have died in the twenty-
five-years long conflict. During the same time period over two and a
half a million people have died of all causes mainly of old age, heart
disease and cancer. This makes war deaths a meagre 2.8% of the total
number of deaths. In other words war results in 2.8% of deaths in Sri
Lanka which is definitely not a significant cause of death. However,
the underlying picture is gruelling and cruel. The tiny third world
country is cursed with the world’s most ruthless terrorist
organisation (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam – LTTE, commonly known
as Tamil Tigers) in the world. LTTE’s suicide bombers far outnumber
their Iraqi and Afghanistan counterparts. LTTE is openly committing
genocide against people of all races in Sri Lanka in every manner
imaginable to a satanic mind.
Genocide of the Tamil race by the LTTE – Decimating the Tamil
leadership
Just as Adolf Hitler started his hysterical war claiming that he was
the liberator of Germans, the LTTE started its armed ‘liberation’
struggle claiming same. Its first targets were Tamils themselves!
Mayor of Jaffna, Alfred Doraiappa, a Tamil, was gunned down at a Hindu
temple in 1976 by the LTTE! This was their first target. Since then
hundreds of Tamil political activists have been killed including a
former Opposition Leader (1989 – killed during a ceasefire), a foreign
minister (2005 – killed during a ceasefire) and a gamut of political
party leaders. The killing of an Indian Prime Minister was highly
celebrated in LTTE circles which was carried out by a Tamil Tiger
female suicide bomber. They killed a national leader and scores of
Tamils with one bomb! Welcome to the world of the LTTE.
By decimating the Tamil leadership, LTTE managed to enforce their
‘sole’ representative claim. Owing to Tamil Tigers’ total genocide of
Tamil democratic leaders, only one (1) alternative Tamil politician is
represented in parliament from the Northern Province where the war is
centred today.
Sri Lanka observed a number of ceasefires but none were honoured by
the LTTE. Killing democratic Tamil political leaders got a new lease
of life during those ceasefires!
Decimating the Tamil leadership and by creating a band of yes-men,
LTTE exposed the Tamil people to outright danger.
Genocide of the Tamil race by the LTTE – wiping out generations upon
generations
LTTE operates based on a very strict code of conduct. Its members are
forbidden to marry or have children otherwise. This has created what
Tamil Tigers call, total commitment to the ‘cause’. As a result since
late 1970s until this date, tens of thousands of Tamils were recruited
to the LTTE and most of them died. This is almost one and a half
generations. In other words LTTE decimated one and a half generations
of Tamils in their child bearing age. Obviously they didn’t die alone.
They died with an unborn generation! LTTE cruelty didn’t end there. It
has one of the largest child soldier brigades in the world. Children
were used from early 1980s and continue until this date. Children of
1980s would have had their own children by today; but that was denied
to the nation. They were killed; children of their contemporaries who
managed to survive were also killed subsequently and still being
killed in the name of ‘liberation’.
Interestingly most low level fighters and suicide bombers come from
lower castes of the Tamil community. Heavy use of women in the child
bearing age and young girls in combat and suicide missions is also
commonplace in the LTTE.
Recruiting children saw a massive boom during the 2002-2005 ceasefire
when LTTE operatives recruited children unhindered by law enforcement
authorities.
Genocide of the Tamil race by the LTTE – very large scale civilian
displacement
Pro-LTTE elements scream about the war displacing 200,000 people but
they are silent about over two million Tamils displaced solely by the
LTTE. Owing to LTTE’s very harsh conduct millions of Tamils have
internally migrated to predominantly Sinhala (the majority community
of Sri Lanka) areas despite LTTE claims that Sinhalese kill Tamils!
Today most Tamils (over 54%) live in predominantly Sinhala areas
totally rubbishing LTTE claims of genocide of Tamils by the Sinhalese!
Why did they cross to the government controlled area amidst colossal
lies spread by the LTTE? That’s because they feel much safer under the
government than under the LTTE.
Over a million have sought refuge in rich foreign countries and about
100,000 are languishing in refugee camps in South India.
Civilian displacement has been so enormous that LTTE which uses
civilians as human shields to protect senior terrorist leaders are now
panicking. They call those who now leave their areas traitors and have
mechanisms in place to track them down and kill them.
During the Norwegian brokered ceasefire of 2002 and in previous
ceasefires, LTTE continued to displace civilians. The fate of Eastern
villages of Muttur, Manirasakulam and Valchchenai during the time of
the last ceasefire is a case in point. Even Scandinavian ceasefire
monitors were forced to turn a blind eye to these atrocities.
Genocide of the Tamil race by the LTTE – cultural genocide and
ethnocide
If anyone finds the Cultural Revolution disturbing take a look at the
cultural genocide committed by the LTTE on Tamils. The North and the
East of Sri Lanka were bustling with Tamil cultural activities until
mid 1980s when the LTTE willingly dismantled all Tamil Hindu cultural
infrastructures. Hindu devotional songs, dances, rituals and other
cultural practices were scrapped and replaced by what the LTTE called
‘Tamil liberation’ culture. This was all about instigating violence,
racial hatred, racism, isolation and sheer brainwashing. People were
bombarded with LTTE songs, etc. in place of their thousand year old
culture.
The vacuum created by the LTTE in Lankan Tamil culture enabled them to
creep into it unnoticed and fill the void. Today LTTE front
organisations carryout ‘Ponku Thamizh’ events throughout the world
which are seen as the residue Lankan Tamil culture! Unsurprisingly
these ‘cultural shows’ also collect money for the LTTE. Thousands of
years old Tamil culture based on non-violence and collectivism has
been replaced by a cannibalistic ritual. What a crime?
LTTE’s latest cultural genocide project is about splitting Sri Lankan
Tamils from their roots in Tamil Nadu in an evil attempt to further
isolate and dominate them. Towards this end, pro-LTTE elements have
started a ridiculous campaign of renaming. What was known as Tamil for
centuries has been changed to Thamizh; Elam to Eezham! Though they
look subtle and hilarious, the underlying attempt to further cut off
Tamils from their larger community in India is despicable.
War, no-war or ceasefire, the de-civilisation process of the community
by the LTTE in favour of suicide bombers and the like continued
unabated.
Genocide of the Tamil race by the LTTE – economic destruction
LTTE has completed the economic destruction project in Tamil majority
areas. Factories were bombed, disrupted, robbed and eventually
dismantled. The island nation’s largest cement factory, paper mill and
chemical factory were thus completely and deliberately destroyed by
the LTTE. Sri Lanka’s largest development project – the Mahaweli
Multipurpose Irrigation Scheme – was disabled by the LTTE to a very
great extent. Severe disruptions to faming, fishing and even schooling
were caused by the LTTE. Farms are seen by the LTTE as safe artillery
launching places; fishing boats have been converted to fast attack gun
boats while schools are seen by the LTTE as recruiting grounds of its
cadres!
During the short space of time when government troops abandoned all
military operations despite LTTE’s continued terrorism, Tamil Tigers
imposed heavy unofficial taxes and levies on economic activities. The
road from Vavuniya to Jaffna which was opened during that time was
notoriously known as the extortion highway!
Still the government send fertilizer, food and medicine to LTTE
controlled areas but LTTE misuses them for their own good depriving
the people of their essentials.
LTTE succeeded in the complete genocide of the Sinhala community in
the North
Since the early 1980s Tamil Tigers started one of the most notoriously
successful ethnic cleansing campaigns this world has seen. It
succeeded. Today there is not a single Sinhala person living in the
North. Tens of thousands were chased away, murdered and eventually
ethnically cleansed by the LTTE. Notably a former Speaker of the
parliament and the longest served politician of the Sri Lanka
parliament were two Sinhalese hailed from the North. There will not be
any more as the LTTE has wiped out this very unique community from the
face of the earth. Still old Tamil people in Jaffna and Vanni talk
about the Jaffna Sinhala community, the Point Padro Sinhala community
and their customs that were an integral part of the Jaffna community
decades ago.
Apart from the north, mainly in the Eastern province and the Western
Province LTTE has carried out large scale massacres, bomb attacks,
suicide attacks, attacks on economic nerve centres and attacks on
religious sites targeting mainly the Sinhala community and generally
targeting all communities.
LTTE succeeded in the complete genocide of the Muslim community in the
North
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims were chased out of the North in 1990
at gun point by the LTTE. Today there are no Muslims in the North and
the evil project has succeeded. Northern Muslims had their very own
customs, practices and cuisine. Along with the people a very unique
subculture that thrived for thousands of years vanished forever.
Displaced people have been living hundred of miles away in refugee
camps under trying conditions for 18 miserable years thanks to the
LTTE and their Tamil-only mythical state.
If this is not genocide, there cannot be any case of genocide and all
acts of genocide in Sri Lanka have been committed by the LTTE; their
attempts are not over yet.
How to stop the LTTE and its business of genocide in Sri Lanka?
Having committed all these evils, it is futile to expect the LTTE will
have it any other way. Dozens of times LTTE has fooled the people, the
state and the international community with peace talks, ceasefires and
other similar nonsense. Ceasefires were very effectively used by the
LTTE to wipe out its opposition and strengthen its fighting
capabilities. The latest surprise following the 2002 ceasefire was the
Tiger Air Force which has already attacked many military, civilian and
economic targets. This is world’s only operating terrorist air force
sustained by the second richest terrorist group in the world with
estimated annual revenue of US$300 million.
The only way to stop these acts of terrorism is to completely wipe out
the LTTE by military means. Sri Lanka with a crippled economy is
fighting a nastier terror group than the Al Qaeda. If anyone desires
long term stability, peace, democracy and a complete genuine end to
crimes against humanity, he/she must support the efforts by the Sri
Lankan government to eradicate the terrorism menace.
Pampering the world’s most ruthless terrorists with the false hope of
bringing them to the right path is both futile and highly dangerous.
It must be put down like an epidemic. There has never been a better
time to do so than now where the LTTE is cornered into a small
landmass. As usual LTTE terrorists have resorted to the oldest
terrorist tactic – holding civilians to ransom – hoping that it will
provide them an escape route and safety. If the international
community pressures Sri Lanka to make the LTTE ransom project a
success, it will repeat its successful hijack operation elsewhere as
well.
On the other hand if the LTTE is left to die, it will not be able to
commit acts of terrorism ever again and Tamil democratic forces can
take charge of the destiny of Tamils without getting bumped-off. It
can also create a conducive environment to find a political solution
to underlying causes of the conflict through negotiations.
The sudden hype about false allegations of genocide against the
government and its security forces is a diversionary tactic to divert
attention away from real criminals (and terrorists) towards their
adversaries so that Tamil Tigers can leisurely carry on their
genocidal acts. All LTTE leaders have been in the Wanted List of the
Interpol for many years while the LTTE is a banned terrorist
organisation in most countries of the developed world. These attempts
of the international community to make the world a better place will
only work if the LTTE is physically uprooted. The international
community should convince LTTE leaders that civilians are no human
shields by supporting the Sri Lankan government crush the terror group
for good.
