[TamilNet, Thursday, 21 August 2014, 15:33 GMT]The genre of Subramanian Swamies, ostracized by mainstream Tamils and
politically orphaned in Tamil Nadu, try to settle score with their own
people by making their local bias and paranoia to influence all-India
policy, unjustly affecting the immediately neighbouring nation of Eezham
Tamils. This is the real danger for entire India in the long run.
Peoples of India, especially the peoples of North India should realise
the impending danger coming from this genre of individuals, who threaten
India’s national interests by causing disintegration in the South and
by marring India’s image in the eyes of world humanity, commented Tamil
activists for alternative politics in the island.
Mr. Subramanian Swamy is the chairman of BJP’s Committee for Strategic Action.
Sri
Lanka’s ‘victory’ in the genocidal war against Eezham Tamils is
projected as India’s ‘security’ by Swamy, according to Colombo media
reports on Thursday.
Speaking at a ‘Defence Seminar’ in Colombo
on Wednesday, Swamy denied any genocide in the island. Shaming his
Harvard education in his understanding of ethnicity, he said that there
is not even an ethnic issue as the ‘DNA’ is same for Tamils and
Sinhalese, but the issue is only language.
A striking feature
of the recent talks of BJP leaders is that they now openly claim that it
was New Delhi that decided the way the war ended. While it explains why
New Delhi should be the foremost in opposing any international
investigation, it also exposes the previous Congress regime and actually
invites international investigation to focus on the role of India in
the genocide and on-going genocide.
Whether the BJP leaders are
also sending in indirect messages compelling the nation of Eezham Tamils
in particular, and Tamils in general, to seek a balancing foreign
policy option is another question.
Eezham Tamils were always at
the receiving end in the competition between Washington and New Delhi
over the island, because of the failure of Tamils in not proving their
geopolitical importance.
A five-member Tamil National Alliance
(TNA) team, led my Mr. R. Sampanthan, will be meeting New Delhi’s Prime
Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on Saturday, news reports say.
With
the kind of policy declarations coming from BJP delegations visiting the
island, Tamil polity, whether in the island, in Tamil Nadu or in the
diaspora, has to come out with a stern message to New Delhi that unless
something is positively proved on the ground, its words and hopes cannot
be trusted anymore.
Tamils all over the world may have to think
of a new collective foreign policy and strategies of democratic
struggle, counting the New Delhi Establishment out. New Delhi’s approach
to the island, defying all norms of civilised humanity, has to be
intensively challenged internally and internationally.
