A human race in the verge of extinction.

A human race in the verge of extinction.

Can we stop the devastation of our motherland and save our own species?

Priya Raj, 25th January 2007.

Death, mayhem, rape, molestation, psychological trauma, malnutrition, displacement and

disappearances in the Tamil nation are slowly but steadily pushing the native Tamil race towards

extinction. Every second that passes by in the north and east of Sri Lanka confirms this horrific

fact and unfolding a story that is beyond the civilized world’s wildest imagination.

Of all the species that have lived on the Earth since life first appeared here 3 billion years ago,

only about one in a thousand is still living today. All the others, the vast majority, became extinct.

An extinction event (also extinction-level event, ELE) occurs when a large number of species die

out in a relatively short period of time. The study of extinction reveals several causes for extinction.

The main cause of extinction is: Habitat destruction. Other causes are Introduction of pests,

predators, plagues and so on. Probability of extinction depends on both the population size and fine details of the population demography that is sex ratio, age structure, age-specific birth and death rates.

Humans are a species by nature and the same law of extinction applies to them. Different

human races are like different type of species and have their own cause for either survival or

extinction. By comparing the above mentioned facts with of the events that were taking place

in Sri Lanka, one don’t have to be an expert to see that an extinction event is unfolding in Sri

Lanka. Believe it or not, Srilankan Tamils are a threatened species. The Sri Lankan Tamil

race’s extinction is even more severe and more imminent as all the catalysts needed to speed

up the process are already in place. A species is always a majority in its own habitat, but in

the case of Sri Lankan Tamil’s species they were forced to share the resources between other

species in a confined space by the colonial forces, that is by other kind of external species.

It’s a known fact that the majority species in a confined space like an island has a tendency of

overpowering and marginalizing the minority species. As a consequence, changing the

demography in its own favor. In the long run the minority species will disintegrate into the

majority and will become extinct. For there is little doubt that different kinde of human

species are the direct cause of ecosystem stress, destruction of other species in the modern

world and in the destruction of the Sri Lankan Tamil species, it’s the cause of the SL

Government and its armed forces.

Since independence from the British rulers, Srilankan Tamils habitat has been

systematically occupied by state sponsored colonization. The SL Government, by introducing

the so called ‘Sinhala only’ act and the language based quota system on higher education,

marginalized the tamil community and started a process of making the tamil species loose its

identity, that is their language – Tamil, and made their way into the Tamils natural habitat.

They were permanently forced to be secondary citizens in their own habitat. And also by

introducing these laws, state sponsored and by forced occupation Tamils were forced to move

from their natural habitat and to migrate around the globe. This migration was also utilized to

further the task of colonization. This became a cycle of events interconnected with each

other.

At first glace, the physically caused extinction events of the past might seem to have little

or nothing to tell us about the current and imminent threat of extinction but will give us a clue

to the agenda that was going on for years and how this human created, targeted tragedy is

speeding up to this threat. The SL Government-driven forced extinction has continued since

independence and accelerated into alarming levels in the past year. During the past couple of

years, several other factors were introduced as catalysts to speed up the extinction event.

Some of them are introduction of pests, predators, plagues and so on. This catalyst can take

many forms and behave in many different ways in speeding up extinction.

The predators are the SL Government and its Armed Troops. Militarization and

occupation of our habitant, murder of innocent civilians, raping of our mothers and sisters,

child molestations, continued aerial and artillery bombardment of civilian areas and making

people live in continues fear are some of the handy work of these monster predators.

Physically and psychologically making the Tamil species vulnerable and letting the predators

eat their way into our natural homes and lives are also a common way of speeding up the

extinction process.

The creation of pests and plague in the form of armed groups from the targeted

specie’s own kit and kin. This is what was happening for the past couple of years in an

accelerated tempo. Creating armed groups, removing their human instincts and replacing

it with animal instincts by training them against their own race. Making them

scavengers who ride with the predators and eat on the rest to survive. The SL Government

letting these pests and plagues loose among the Tamil people to create mayhem and to be

of severe annoyance. These armed groups are responsible for handling the dirty work for the

predators. They are responsible for much abduction, ransoms, murders, destructions and

occupying of properties. But there is also a setback in this method. These pests and plagues as

they have forgotten their original identity and human instincts can turn on their own masters

one day and starts creating the same mayhem there.

The Tamil race in the island nation is bleeding and suffering beyond words can describe.

A famine generation is on the creation, a generation without proper education is been created,

a generation where human values and virtues are unknown, A handicapped generation is on

the rise, Orphans and widows created with lightning speed. A generation, young and old alike

fight for the survival. Fighting like animals in the long queues for food and essentials to hold

them just alive. Injured and maimed people die everyday, the Tamil race is killed in unknown

numbers all the time. North or east, the story is the same. The tentacles of the dominating

species, the SL Government widening its grip moment by moment. The motive is crystal

clear. They want this race to be gone from Sri Lanka permanently – eradicated. Just take a

look, sit back and think it over, imagine the reality, this is not a horror movie but the real tale

of a sinking ship, the last cry of our dying race.

The term ‘verge of extinction’ is merest hint of a catastrophic reality that is unfolding

silently and, for the most part, away from our sight in our own motherland. Given the

absolute impossibility of documenting the demise of every human species whose fate is

sealed by the majority human activity of the respected lands, we need to be acutely sensitive

to these faint echoes on the wind, because they carry an important message. The SL

Government is in the throes of causing a major humanitarian crisis, a mass extinction, the

first such event to have occurred in the past half billion years. And we, Expatriate Tamils,

may also be among the living dead.

Though it is true that life, so incredibly resilient, has always recovered (though after long

lags) after major extinction spasms, it is only after whatever has caused the extinction event

has dissipated. That cause, in the case of our imminent threat of extinction, is – The Sri

Lankan Government. There are only two choices left for us, either we can continue on the

path to our own extinction, or, preferably fight back united to recover our originality and our

natural habitat. The latter must happen before the Extinction event can be declared over, and

our life can once again rebound.
