But, whether the outfits and articulators of Eezham Tamils observing the
Heroes Day 2016, have understood the paradigm change to appropriately
spearhead the struggle is the question.

In
2014, the first change took place in New Delhi as Sonia Gandhi’s
Congress was routed out. But, so far, the Modi regime of ‘Vivekanada’
intelligence has not proved anything on the grounds. The focus is on
conquering the Tamil/Dravidian South after its ailing leaders, either
through ‘Hindutva’ or by checking it through Sinhala-Buddhism — the good
old divide-and-rule. Still, the President of India is a person who has
to be investigated for war-crimes over his open statements to media
during the Eelam War.

Sir Robert
John Sawers, who was representing the UK at the UN during the Eelam
genocide (later headed the MI6) said that the LTTE was “long blighting”
the Sri Lankan government. The UK was long blighting Europe and the
people of the UK have decided on that in the Brexit of 2016. The UK
actually pre-empted itself from being kicked out for its US-bandwagon
policies that endangered Europe.
If refugees coming to the UK, as
a result of the very policies it adopted in West Asia, is a reason for
the English to quit the EU, then why Eezham Tamils facing a long
genocide cannot quit ‘Sri Lanka’ of the creation of the British?
The
very ideological foundations of the English outlook that was blighting
Eezham Tamils for long being challenged by the English people
themselves, has to be understood especially by the Tamil diaspora in the
UK. They have to understand and support the Brexit, but stand in
solidarity with the Scots and the Irish. That is diplomacy.
It
was a British ‘Terrorism Professor’ Paul Moorcraft, who was deputed to
the service of the Rajapaksa regime, who wrote in appreciation of
Rajapaksa that he didn’t interfere when the LTTE was making ‘mistakes’.
Tamil diplomacy has to learn not to interfere the blunders committed by
the ultimate culprits to themselves.

The
climax of the justice in the eyes of Eezham Tamils, is Ms Clinton who
was heading Obama’s State Department designing the structural genocide
of Eezham Tamils in the name of ‘reconciliation’ getting defeated by the
people of the USA in the presidential elections.
On a larger
perspective, the vote is in fact against the present paradigm of the
USA. Students of history have to compare it with the victory of Nixon
and with the arrival of Gorbachev. America was happy about the latter
and there is every reason for Moscow and Beijing to be happy about the
present one in the USA.
It is certainly vindicating to see the
panic in the international mafia across the US-bandwagon; in the funding
agencies, ‘development’ agencies, academic institutions, media outfits,
NGOs and the NGO-simulated political activists, who never raised any
finger against the US agenda in the past.

The
prostitute diplomacy of Colombo was jumping at the victory of Trump
that it would relieve the Agent State, prepared to market mercenary
military, from the constraints of ‘human rights’. But then, the paradigm
may be shifted to New Delhi playing the role of policeman once again.
The
Eezham Tamil militant struggle is often accused of not taking into
account the paradigm change after September 11, 2001. The same could be
said if it doesn’t comprehend the current paradigm change.
Whatever
the paradigm changes that come in, the basic question of Eezham Tamils
that should be never forgotten is the question of their nation in the
island. Waves come and go, but the rock on the shores remains.
* * *
The
historical reality of nations and identities in the island have been
manipulated by the British to create a State and the identity of Ceylon,
essentially to check South Asia. The ‘Sri Lanka’ identity and State
invented by the genocidal successors in 1972 was endorsed for the same
geopolitical purposes. There is an accelerated process by the successors
of the same forces, for the same purpose of engineering select regions
for global monopoly.
The most fundamental resistance an affected
people like the Eezham Tamils could show to the ultimate culprits is
the denouncement of the ‘Sri Lanka’ identity that is again and again
imposed through various pretexts. This denouncement is not against the
Sinhala brethren in the island, but essentially against the
international engineers.
* * *
Recently,
a diaspora Eezham Tamil in a western country had the occasion to
converse with a Kurd. The Kurd asked him whether he was from ‘Sri
Lanka’. The Eezham Tamil hesitated for a moment and then said that he is
a Tamil. When the latter asked about the identity of the former, he
spontaneously replied that is a Kurd from Kurdistan. He apologized to
the Eezham Tamil for bringing in the ‘Sri Lanka’ identity and said that
most of the Tamils he had met never expressed themselves and were
submissive to the ‘Sri Lanka’ identity. “When we say we are Kurds, the
Arabs, Iranians and Turks don’t like it. But, we don’t care. It is our
identity,” he said.
Both Kurdistan and Tamil Eelam don’t exist
in international recognition, but if the Kurds could claim their
identity and Eezham Tamils succumb to saying ‘Sri Lanka’, then there is
something wrong in the struggle spirit of Eezham Tamils. More than that,
there is something wrong in the international community imposing
identities to select peoples.
Remembering Eezham Tamil Heroes is not an annual ritual.
* * *
If
the Eezham Tamils don’t have the guts to claim what they are, and what
is their land, in any term other than ‘Sri Lanka’, then they can very
well do away with the ritual of observing the Heroes Day.
Many
of them do not use Ilangkai in Tamil, a term ‘constitutionally’ accepted
even by the genocidal State in the island. Eezham Tamils do not explain
and insist of their identity in official situations or in casual
conversations even when they are not under any obligations to the State
in Colombo.
The Eezham Tamil identity claim is often ridiculed
as Ku'run-theasiya-vaatham (narrow-minded nationalism or regionalism)
especially by Colombo-centric so-called Tamil Leftists. Even if anyone
saying Jaffna or Batticaloa is perhaps better compared to ‘Sri Lanka’
imposed by genocidal agents of the ultimate culprits of world monopoly.
