[TamilNet, Tuesday, 11 March 2014, 01:26 GMT]The US draft tabled at the UNHCR has to be recognized for its
positive aspects in disguise that make Tamils learn historic lessons,
commented Tamil activists for alternative politics in the island. The
draft opens eyes on the ultimate culprits who actually led Eezham Tamils
into Mu’l’livaaykkaal and continue to lead them into accepting
structural genocide; on the extent of USA’s confidence in the inherent
orientation for subservience and gullibility among Eezham Tamil
‘articulators’; and on the extent of the infiltration the USA has made
into various facets of Tamil Nadu – from Brahministic media to
‘original’ Dravidian movements, and from ‘communism’ to various caste
politics, the activists in the island said.
Further comments from the Tamil activists for alternative politics in the island:
This
time there was a strong orchestration in Tamil Nadu, supplemented by an
array of ‘visitors’ from the diaspora, for not to raise any finger
against the USA, but to press New Delhi to just fall in line with the US
resolution.
Why such a political bankruptcy in Tamil Nadu, when
the struggle has to primarily target the USA and press New Delhi to take
independent steps in delivering justice to India’s backyard?
Whether
you want a strong resolution coming and failing at the UNHRC, or you
want ‘any’ resolution getting passed at the UNHRC to keep the island on
the agenda of the UNHRC, seems to be Washington’s blackmail of Tamil
articulators.
As a result, there is once again jubilance in the
genocidal quarters of Colombo over the Sinhala State getting time and
space for the irreversible completion of the genocide, which is once in a
millennium opportunity for it.
One could believe in Washington’s
inability at the UN [after all its abilities in mobilising the entire
international community of Establishments when it was genocide], if
Washington has so far done anything at least outside of the UN in the
last five years to restore the balance of the nation of Eezham Tamils in
the island.
In restoring the balance of Eezham Tamils,
Washington on its own could have done many things outside of the UN or
any other international forum, which could have been practically more
powerful than bringing in resolutions. But the USA did nothing.
On
the contrary, from the theoretical negation of the nation and territory
of Eezham Tamils to non-recognition of the genocide and on-going
genocide; and from continued ban and vilification of the LTTE to
continued military, financial and logistical support to genocidal
Colombo, the USA continues to tilt the balance in favour of the
genocidal engineering in the island.
If any of the so-called
Tamil ‘diplomats’ are going to continue defending the USA, citing its
‘genuine’ inabilities and the ‘virtues’ of whatever that is achieved
through ‘any’ resolution, and are going to argue for a gullible approach
towards the USA and UK, the global Tamils have to only pity at their
Goebbelism coupled with Quislingism.
The simple truth is that
the USA and UK don’t care for their own supporters among Tamils. They
don’t even care about those supporters getting discredited. More than
the demographic and worldwide strength of State-less Tamils, the
ultimate culprits care and fear for the genocidal nation in the island,
because it has State.

This
underlines the need, why the nation of Eezham Tamils, especially in the
context of the strategic island, should get its sovereign State. It is
not only as a Right to Protection from the age-old genocide that is now
accelerated, but also as a Right to Protection from the international
vultures of today as well as tomorrow, hovering over the geostrategic
island.
A genuinely or seemingly ignorant stand taken by many in
the outside of the island is that Eezham Tamils were wrong and are wrong
in asking for an independent State for them, and that the Eezham Tamils
in the North and East don’t consider the future of the Tamils in the
rest of the island.
They don’t understand that genocide of Eezham
Tamils is a centuries old process in the island. An inalienable
thinking in the Sinhala nation in the island is that why can’t the
Tamils become Sinhalese and Buddhists, following a dominant historical
process of the past in the island. Such a nation left with the control
of the modern State will always work towards completion of the genocide
either through war or lure.
Only an independent State for Eezham
Tamils in one part of the island could stop the genocide, will bring in a
balance that could not come in any other way in Sinhala psyche, will
guarantee the status of other Tamil-speaking people in the rest of the
island, and will pave way for genuine reconciliation.

When
the realities are such, cutting almost a comic figure both in the
nations of Sinhalese and Eezham Tamils, Professor V. Suryanarayan of New
Delhi’s ‘national security’ connections came out with the following
statement in the New Indian Express on Wednesday, while counting trees
and lamenting on what the Sinhala polity is doing to Tamils.
“It
goes to the credit of Wigneswaran and Sampanthan that even under these
adverse circumstances, they have not given up hope of working together
with the Sinhalese in a united Sri Lanka,” Suryanarayan wrote.
“It
was Indian insistence that finally led to provincial council elections.
The unprecedented turnout and the landslide victory of the TNA
convincingly proved that not only was the alliance the most
representative organisation, it was also willing to work within the
existing constitutional framework,” Suryanarayan elaborated further.
When
the crux of the interest in the ilk of him in India is united Sri Lanka
and Tamils working under the existing constitutional frame work, all
his wailings on what is taking place in the island and all what he is
expecting from the Colombo government are comically absurd.
The
Sinhala State will not change and Suryanarayans also will not change.
This ilk and the main stream English media in India have done enough
damage to Eezham Tamils for decades in shaping a misleading public
opinion in India that ultimately has led to the genocide and is leading
to the progress of the on-going structural genocide.

South
Africa’s Desmond Tutu and 38 Human Rights activists and organisations
have now called for the UNHRC to set up a Commission of Inquiry (CoI).
“We,
concerned individuals and organizations from around the world, urge the
UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to use their March 2014 session to pass
a resolution that will include a commitment to an Independent
International investigation in the form of a Commission of Inquiry,” the
petition said.
Besides Tutu, Yasmin Sooka who was part of the
UNSG report, Mr. C.V. Wigneswaran, Mr. R. Sampanthan and the Bishop of
Mannaar were also signatories to the petition.
“Standing in
solidarity with the many Sri Lankans who feel their government is making
a mistake, we urge the United Nations to establish a Commission of
Inquiry,” the petition concluded.
It is misleading to say that it is the Sri Lankan government that is making a mistake. It is the Sri Lankan State.
Indicting the government will bring in only a regime change.
Guruparan
Kumaravadivel was touching on the difference between government and
State in his press meet in Jaffna last week. He has also aptly raised
the point that rather than a CoI that may end up with another report,
what is more important is how to take it beyond for binding it with
action from the UN.
As an urgently needed practical measure,
Guruparan was calling for a transitional administration for the North
and East under UN supervision, within a united framework of the island.
He said, “We are not demanding anything controversial. We are only
asking the measures for which there is precedence.” However, it was
unwarranted for him to say that the transitional administration should
be within a united country. A transitional administration is
transitional administration for the concerned people to decide on the
matter of unity or not.

The new
generation in Tamil Nadu has to carefully peruse the discourse arising
from this year’s UNHRC sessions. It is time to have a review on the US
infiltrations that have been actively taking place since the 1950s, in
every walk of life and mind-set. It has to be realised that without
Tamils proving their geopolitical strength no justice is going to come.
In the meantime, one has to be equally vigilant about a section
of the former Peking-wing articulators operating from the diaspora, who
come out with US-bashing and Tamil ‘bourgeois’-bashing, but have no
qualms about supporting Rajapaksa. There is another section that works
like the ‘Deep Penetration Unit’ of the war times, in tandem with the
diplomatic missions of Colombo or with agencies of Colombo-supporting
Establishments. Infiltrating and hijacking the social and cultural
organisations of Eezham Tamils is the agenda. Also take a note of the
mushrooming publications that confine lessons-learning to the militant
struggle of Tamils alone and do not speak on learning lessons about the
ultimate culprits.
