What do we call it?

Do you know how people in vanni make their living....

Recently, I had called Mannar to understand the conditions of my two aunts who were trapped in Vanni Area.

When SLAF (SriLankan AirForce) bombed a convent,which was in news few months back, in the same convent where my two NUN aunts were living along with another NUN. While my two aunts were unhurt by the bombing, the other nun was injured.

So past 3 months they went into hiding from bunker to bunker in vanni jungle. On 03-Mar-2009, one of my aunts conditions worsened hence was taken by ICRC to triconomalee then hospitalized in Mannar (one of my other aunt had met her in hospital). After being there for one week, now she is taken to Vavuniya Camp...now no more contact with her.

Meanwhile, another nun aunt of mine still trapped in vanni. she is waiting to be evacuated by ICRC. hopeful that she would be living and leaving vanni soon.

Conditions in vanni is much worse than what you see in this clip....

Once an Insurgent now a president......Eelam struggle

please do have a look at the second part of this video...it gives the clear idea of "How the language has changed globally"...once an insurgent now a president accepts the change in language and how he effectively uses it now.

He once fought against disappearances and now the very thing his government is doing....

Srilankan Genocidal war - AP (video)

Associated press (AP) has obtained a video showing the civilian casualities of ongoing Genocidal WAR. Although SL Govt keeps denying the fact that the civilians are under attack.

when do we start a mass movement against these traitors?

All,

   Now the actual war is not only with Guns and tanks, but its a "well planned false propaganda" against Tamils to quench their protests all over.

   We need to be very careful that even these forces camouflage as a "well wishers" and "intending to help" Tamils (Alas! even these traitors are speaking Tamil as their mother-tongue) if we could identify these "Ettappans" then no "kattapans" will be killed.

  As long as those abetting this crime of Genocide against Tamil are there, how do you think that we could go against "forces who actually act" on those scripted versus. 

  How come a force of small number (around 1000s as per Srilankan president and ponseka) of LTTEs could forcefully keep these 3,50,000 people confined to 250 sqkm area?. Is everybody around here a fool?.

  Here in india, where there is a conductive environment for a government having large police force and other means could hardly quench the outbreak of people spontaneously coming out to streets in support of Eelam Tamils. Our politicans were hellbound to divert the spontaneous demonstrations either hook or crook methods.LTTE is a banned organisation, who in Tamilnadu doesn't know?. But who is fighting for Tamils in Eelam?. while there are traitors like Karuna, Devanada and pillian who wag their tails for the meagre money that is thrown to them. 

 If here in Tamilnadu, our very only one so called "world tamil leader" ,threaten people for speaking for Eelam and LTTE and put people jail merely voicing their opinion on stages. what one could say about these hardliners in srilanka viz., jatika hela urmya.

 As long as we have "Ettapans" like cho,Ram,Jeyalalitha, Karunanidhi, Entire congress morons on our side, why don't these sinhalese get bold?.

 DMK having cabinet ministers in its chest, never ever thought of using its force to coerce Federal government to put an end this Genocidal war. But isn't it foolish to go to Federal government, while actually it is the one which waged this proxy war against Tamils and in particular LTTE, that is one of the reasons it shows deafen ear to all the pleas from TN.

Another important point would be that DMK never ever came in public record against Federal Government and also it never revealed to TN people that what India's share in ongoing war in Srilanka.

We may say that we would teach a good lesson to all these politicians during elections.but we fail to see that they are not showing even iota of worry about it, because they know what this electoral process is all about.

Even today, to martyr Muthukurmaran, who came and paid respect? any DMK or ADMK politicians?. Each political party has its own agenda of their own in this conflict, I would blame all politicians for dragging this issue to this level,where one Muthukumaran has to come as a martyr to invoke so far smouldering emotion to new high.

What do we do anyway? what more could we go? nobody knows....atleast for myself, I have already decided to reject these political parties which have acted against our sentiments. I now feel really ashamed to call myself as an Indian, for India which always upholds and preach "peace" to outside world but in reality it cowardly and subtle manner does all heinous acts.

Why should there be such double games? I had Sonia in high regard when she could boldly meet Nalini. But now I know its just to show the world that SHE IS GOOD HEARTED but inturn having all maligious intentions and go to the extend of taking revenge by having thousands of innocent life taken.

Here is a Holy cow which has now given an ultimatum of 48 hours to ensure safety of Tamils, meanwhile having taken all measures to kill and exterminate youngsters both girls and boys so that the possibility of them turning "LTTE cadre" and go against sinhalese is neutralised. what a noble intend to have announced "safe zone" to trap people there to kill them en masse. 

If you carefully go through the statement of ultimatum it implicitly cites that people who have chosen to remain there would be killed by intensified usage of boms and shells. now who would raise a voice for those people who have chosen to be in vanni? for they had been given a choice to choose and people have chosen to die, hence he gets all right to kill them.

Why not any Human right organisation files a Genocidal case against these guys and try them in international court?.why all media which always make hue and cry for even a single spate of incident has turned its face?.

 Why not we as youngsters start a "movement" to expose these corrupt politicians? why not we shun these traitors entering into active politics? why not we reject those medias who have gone against us?.As for me, I no longer reading "newspapers" such as Hindu,dinamalar etc.And also have decided not to vote to these spineless politicians.

We should also start a movement to have a reform in electoral process, asking for NEGATIVE VOTING etc.?

Could we do that?

Srilankan Genocide - premeditated ???

Almost it has become a "Daily news" that mass killing is happening in srilanka by bombing and shelling. And the intent of genocide is very evident in all the time. Indiscriminate bombing on "safe zones" which actually designated by Government was bombed by the very Govt forces, What do you say about it? doesn't it qualify to expose the malicious intent of SL Govt?.

When Govt forcefully evacuated all the humanitarian organisations out of the war zone, henceforth to gain the upper hand of the situation by blacking out the happenings around from foreign eyes?.

If a Govt is NOT allowing UN to function in the war zone? what more do you need to understand the intention?. It is crystal clear, how SL govt tries to silent media trying to bring them to their knees either by threatening them or killing them.

All who talk against "terrorism" should also think that even "state sponsored terrorisms" should be abolished. If LTTE is a terrorist organisation, what about Srilankan Government, is it not doing the very thing it proclaims to fight against? 

If LTTE could fight for 25+ years, is it not with the blessings of Eelam tamils?. should Eelam tamils be labelled as terrorists as they support a so called terrorist organisation?. What do we call then of India,US,China,pakistan and Japan who also assist this Genocidal war?. I would even go to the extend of blaming UN for this matter, because UN just can't wait for right time to act. We know how UN is also influenced by these co-chaired nations. 

Did any country condemn when Srilankan government shunned all the humanitarian organisations and NGOs out of warzone and even independant medias to these warzone. Why did all shut their holy mouth?.

Should tamils always need to struggle to get a voice from these organisations?. What one would say about it, for having announced a "safe zone" and then bomb the very place to kill people?. Srilankan government and other co-chairs may have fooled the world so far, but the time has come for truth to be naked. how long could they silence the voices?.

As against the international Law, bombs are being dropped on schools,hospitals,churches and so on. Nobody bothered to raise their concerns. In the name of fighting LTTE, why should they targent civilians?.

Lot of questions, no answers. Only way to get it, to initiate a case of Genocide against all these perpetrators and try them in international court.For all these a day would come for them to answer.

All we could do is to bring the day nearer as early as possible.

WAR on TERROR? (updated)

For past few months, I have been concentrating on articles and news items on "War on Terror" and "Terrorism"...

Terrorism - I feel, this word is used politically by those in "Authority" against those "who oppose them". The way the Imperial goverments have framed/shaped the "world view" greatly assisted by large portion of propaganda taken forward by media. Repeated well "worded propaganda" has already done its job very well tilting the "Mass opinion" towards those machineries.

There are very few meek voices heard against such oppressors in trying to bring about the TRUTH.Even "world bodies" which supposed to be NEUTRAL and ARBITRATOR almost ALWAYS REMAIN a MUTE spectator. Why?. What could be the reason?. Why UN doesn't actually intervene and contempt such heinous acts?.Is it that UN doesn't have any power to intervene when inhuman acts of mass killings and genocide happening. who stop them from intervening?. Is there any other world body that exists on earth or Universe which could do so?.

As a normal citizen of sovereign country, I may now feel SAFE, but what if the same starts happening to me and my fellow country men?. I try my best to see the "politics" behind all this atrocities, the motives of each parties involved in conflict.

In a broder perspective, Why would one man have to or Need to kill another?. or one faction of people have to go against other faction of people, like that happened in Gujarat ( I here mean, both hindus and muslims), Bosnia, Iraq, Iran, palestine and Isreal. Not least the current heated conflict happening in Lanka.

pictures speak more than words, Following are some of the footages I happened to see in youtube, for your view.

• "The Killing Zone"

• Srilanka - abductions and disappearances (old but still relevant video) [ link available] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poYN8ikai60

more videos will be uploaded later

WAR (on Terror ??? ), patriotism and politics

I think following quote would fit to current situations in India, Pak and Srilanka...

The idea of whipping up patriotic passion when in dire straits is not new: it is as old as the hills, and certainly as old as Rome, as told by Julius Caesar himself :

"Beware of the leader," said Caesar, "who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry who, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How will I know? For this I have done. And I am Julius Caesar."

Srilankan situation exactly fits here, recently Srilankan governement has come out to public for donation to support soldiers in war front.

Indian Govt and people of Tamilnadu collected materials for all IDPs in Vanni region (war zone).Likewise, In srilanka, people are asked to donate money and all essentials to be sent to srilankan army warring against LTTE.

Readers may understand that prevailing Economical turmoil around the world has taken most of the countries on the brink of bankruptcy and srilanka also one among them struggling to manage their finances well to run the country. In recent budget,177 billion has been taken out of corpus just to fight against LTTEs (5000 in number according to srilankan govt). Most of the money comes to them as AID, even recently received humanitarian aids not really been used for any humanitarian activities/developments. Few days back, EU has announced additional 2 billion to be used in vanni region for IDPs. But thankfully all these money being used to buy WMD.

Even Indian government has loaned srilanka some amount which was used to buy weapens and ships from pakistan. Role played by India in Srilankan conflict is very significant from 1970s onwards, but nothing is noteworthy. It is not only India but entire International community to be blamed in most cases.

Coming back to India, recent Mumbai attack even though has lot of questions to be answered, has exposed politicians to the angry masses of India. Now, our PM and EM started talking tough against pakistan even not ruling out military options against perpetrators.

Indian's would not have forgotten Kargil war, the kind of patriotism it fuelled into every Indians mind. No common man would understand, even if he understands, he won't be able to speak his mind out loud and clear against these political classes, because anybody who speaks against WAR and sovereignty, of course must be a traitor and not a patriotic. In whatever way and means this WAR has been put on us.

In srilanka, one of the MPs of UNP exposes the casualities of Srilankan army in recent war. other MP of UNP has to make a statement in parliament in favour of war considering upcoming elections (mahintha mulling over early elections, likely to be announced on Dec 8 2008).

Jingoism is a key word here, which is used extensively by all political classes to deceive and/or escape the wrath of people.

We common man as always fall prey to these hawkish politicians. who is going to save us from their clutches?
