Subject: Only Solution is a Separate country, Tamil Eelam

Dear Fareed,

The leadership of the Tamil people before independence demanded a power sharing to protect the minorities and put forward proposals like 50/50. The 50/50 demand was that Sinhalese people would have 50% of the power and the rest of the minority groups combined will have 50% of the power (Tamil speaking people, Malay, Burgers, etc). If there was a move by the Sinhalese majority to enforce laws that favoured them the minorities would combine together to face it using the 50% power invested in them. But the British rejected it; they did not even think to make it a federation before they exited the island putting the minorities at the mercy of the majority.

Independence was granted, the Tamil leadership and the Tamil people continued to embrace the Ceylon identity even when the Sinhalese brought in laws that made the country into a Sinhalese nation. Malay, Burgers, and few Tamils saw the disastrous future and have begun to exit the island. Tamils in the plantation area were disfranchised leaving them stateless. Tamils people were subjected to rape, murder, colonization scheme organized by the government, etc. Even then the Tamil people could not even dream of an armed struggle and continued with the fruitless political struggle with a repressive majority who knew nothing but violence.

Tamil leader Samuel James Velupillai Chelvanayagam negotiated a pact on July 26th 1957 with then Sinhalese Prime Minister Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike. The pact did not ask for a separate state in any form and only asked for the regional council as well as the Tamil language to be treated as equal. Buddhist monks and extremist protested outside of the Prime Minister’s residence and demanded the agreement to be torn, which the Prime Minster gladly did as violence on Tamils and colonization of Tamil areas just continued without any question.

Since independence to 1976 the Tamil leaders were cheated by the Sinhalese leaders who would agree to pacts and tear them apart or never implement them. The Tamil leaders foolishly followed the Ghandian path of non-violence who was meet with police, Sinhalese thugs attacking them, beating them and humiliating them in front of the Tamil people specially the youth. Tamil political leaders could not stop the violence on the Tamil people, colonization of Tamil area and they couldn’t even get justice to the victims that had all the evidence required to get the culprits convicted. In 1976 they came together and created the Vadukoddai resolution (exercising the Tamil people’s right to self-determination) that put forward Tamil Eelam as the only way for the Tamil people to live with dignity and peace. The following year, an election gave the Vadukoddai resolution the legitimacy it required from the Tamil people who overwhelmingly endorsed a separate nation. The mandate given by the Tamil people were thrown in the Trash by the Sinhalese and unleashed even more violence including unprecedented colonization of the Tamil areas as never before.

As a Tamil I wished the earlier generation of Tamil leaders would have picked up the arms and showed the Sinhalese thugs/armed forces the exit door from Tamil Eelam rather than participating in a fruitless political drama with the Sinhalese which only dragged the Tamil people down. The only thing the Tamil political leaders have done well for the Tamil people is the Vadukoddai resolution and the mandate for a separate state in the election of 1977.

Separation is the best way forward.

Sincerely,

Dear Fareed,

It is about time that the carnage and destruction taking place in the island, now called Sri Lanka, is stopped. All Sinhala majority governments that have carried out genocidal attacks against the Tamils say that they are going to 'liberate' the Tamil people from the Liberation fighters, as if any Tamil had requested them to do so, other than a few bootlickers who are doing so for personal benefit.

Tamils first tried non-violent Satyagraha and parliamentary methods to redress their grievances, to no avail. Repeated pogroms against Tamils were part of life, and lasted till the genocidal attacks of 1983, after which the war started. It should be noted that ever since liberation fighters started fighting, the pogroms, as such, have stopped.

Whenever a new Sinhala majority government has come to power (which was all the time), it promised to solve the issue, but never got down to it. Some times, they point to the constitutions, saying that they do not permit action. Constitutions, which are man-made, can be amended. It is a well known fact that Tamils did not participate in the drafting or approval of either of the two new constitutions implemented after independence. Protections provided in the original constitution for minorities were omitted in the latter ones. The 13th and 17th amendments to the constitution have not yet been implemented in full.

Communalism has gone very deep, and - left to themselves - Sinhalese and Tamils will never, ever, find a solution. If Sinhala nation is sincere about resolving politically it would have done long time ago!

If separation is good in between Czech and Slovaks ; East Timorians and Indonesia; Kosovo from Yougoslavia, then it is good for Tamileelam and Sri Lanka as well.

Sincerely,
