Donor countries and the relief aids:

UNSCRUTABLE ARE THE MOTIVES OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES WHICH ALL TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE STATE TERRORISM UNLEASHED ON THE TAMIL CIVILIANS IN SRI LANKA BY WAY OF MILITARY AGGRESSION

Sri Lankan Tamils should be free to determine their political status, without undergoing any further subjugation and pursue their economic, social and cultural development establishing their self-autonomy, and self-identity within the framework of the United Nations' Charter, without any discrimination.

Main theme of any talks should be to ensure basic, fundamental and equal rights:
Would ever the main theme of any talks for a lasting political solution be to ensure that the Tamils live with their basic, fundamental and equal rights just like any Buddhist Singhalese, with inbuilt safeguard enshrined in the Constitution?

What is the morale behind entrusting the investigations into the crimes against human rights by way unleashing atrocities on the minority Tamil community in Sri Lanka to the perpetrators?

Under the subterfuge of emancipation, Tamils are being subdued:

Under the subterfuge of emancipating the Tamils from the Tamil militants conferring the poisonous term of terrorists on them, Tamils are being coerced into abiding by the Buddhist Singhalese chauvinism without grumbling over their subjugation.

Brazenly with impunity, the hawkish chauvinist regime tries all its best resorting to all tactics possible to bully the Tamil community into submission by threatening them with extrajudicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, aerial bombardment, closures of highways, forced starvation and displacements besides denial of their other basic facilities expedient and necessary. Because the Tamils who lived in peace and harmony in the Tamil territories under civil rule clamored for their basic and fundamental political rights, Singhalese armed forces have crept into their territories displacing them in tens of thousands by force and army camps have mushroomed all over. Cultivation and fishing industry have been either crippled or perished.

Numerical strength of the Singhalese and their representatives:

Just like the numerical strength of the majoritarian Singhalese community that could defeat any proposals of the Tamil community at any referendum, numerical strength of the Singhalese representatives in the legislative assembly, or a national government or any adhoc All Party Representatives Advisory Committee could defeat any proposals submitted by the Tamil representatives on behalf of the Tamil community.

Governments, one after the other had tantalized the Tamils with false hopes:

Governments one after the other had tantalized the Tamils with false hopes and assurances in a desultory fashion from time to time with tiring and boring treadmill of pacts, accords, conferences, talks, agreements, memorandums, appointments of committees etc,etc, which all turned into a complete fiasco, so far. After the Independence in 1948, former Prime Minister S.W.R.D.Bandaranayake from SLFP prioritized Singhalese only policy of 1956 and captured power defeating the U.N.P. Bandaranayke- S.J.V.Chelvanayagam Pact of 1957 was abrogated because of the UNP protests. Dudley Senanayake - S.J.V.Chelvanayagam Pact of 1965 was abrogated because of the SLFP protest. The Republican Constitution of 1972, robbed the minorities of even the scanty safeguards against discrimination provided under Section 29 of the Soulbury Constitution, introduced at independence in 1948. Indo-Lanka Accord of 1987 was abrogated by the National Singhalese protests.

Oppressive Singhalese regimes have time and again successfully maneuvered to sweep the core issues for the ethnic conflict under carpet while confusing the world nations under a spell that the oppressed Tamils indulge in terrorism. After independence in 1948, somewhere only in 1970s, the Tamil militant group was in its embryonic stage and indulged in its retaliatory attacks in self-defence only since 1983.

When the Tamils struggled since independence in 1948 for their basic and fundamental rights by ways of ahimsa, all their struggles were crushed by the Singhalese armed forces and the thuggish extremist Buddhist Singhalese precipitating several riots unleashed on the Tamils without confronting any retaliation.

State terrorism of the Singhalese government militarily to crush the political aspirations of the Tamils:

State terrorism of the Singhalese government militarily to crush the political aspirations of the Tamils has been nothing but the motivating and contributory factor to the retaliations with arms by certain factions from among the suppressed Tamils in Sri Lanka.

The military operations are scheduled to be forged ahead in full spate:

The agenda of the military operations by Buddhist Singhalese government in Sri Lanka is scheduled to be forged ahead in full spate with the connivance of the International communities which all hold their activities in abeyance marking time with statements and meaningless talks only until such time the siege of Vanni area is brought to an end with the surrender of the Tamil militants i.e.LTTE as presumed to be done in the Eastern Sri Lanka.

International Humanitarian law has been defiantly flouted:

International Humanitarian law has been defiantly flouted, and all sense of proportionality regarding use of force has been disregarded. Since 1983, over the last 24 years to date, in the war that ensued between the armed forces and the Tamil militants within the Tamil territories, churches, temples, schools, refugee camps, houses and business establishments were bombed and destroyed killing, wounding, maiming or mangling in hundreds including children while leaving behind children orphaned and men and women widowed besides the mass exodus of the Tamils to foreign countries.

Bare words butter no parsnips:

The degrading diplomacy adopted by the international communities to feign sympathy with the oppressed Tamils while conniving with the aggressive Singhalese government by providing armaments and financial assistance to pursue the war is just like running with the hare and hunting with the hound. Though, the US and other powerful international communities openly reiterate that they support the grievances of the Tamils, and full autonomy for them within their territories in Sri Lanka, they do not at all take any actions or initiative with that haste they resorted to ban the LTTE to be constructive to thwart the atrocities of the Sri Lankan government unleashed on the Tamils or its mass killings of Tamils by bombing and shelling in the Tamil territories.

World nations never pressurize the government to redress the grievances of the Sri Lankan Tamils:

The racial discrimination in Sri Lanka would not have assumed such an alarming proportions metamorphosing into abysmal cataclysm, had ever the world nations been concerned of the fact, that under the patronage of super powers by being a pet in their hands already well equipped, Sri Lankan government roams around freely and commits worst terrorism in Tamil homeland without being restricted until the Tamil community is exterminated gradually but steadily.

The cycle of displacements followed by resettlements in the North-East of Sri Lanka is a degrading strategy of the Sri Lankan Government to neutralize the vigorous struggle of the Tamils for their political rights. World nations got bogged down in the political quagmire of Buddhist Singhalese Sri Lankan government that thrives on deceit and chicanery by contortion of the core issues for the racial conflict. Domination of Singhalese language, chauvinism of Singhalese race and fanaticism of Buddhist religion should be uprooted from the hawkish political system of Sri Lanka for the peace to flourish.

Leviathan of communal extremism of the Singhalese in Sri Lanka:

The leviathan of communal extremism of the Singhalese in Sri Lanka should be swept under the carpet lest any proposals from any Singhalese for a political solution to the ethnic rift in Sri Lanka are incongruous with the core issues.

Racism and xenophobia of Singhalese:

Racism and xenophobia of Singhalese together with the chauvinism of Buddhist religion should be criminalized in Sri Lanka if the democracy is to flourish.

All the factors contributory to any communal rift or violence in Sri Lanka would dissipate, once the political grievances of the oppressed Tamils are redressed with a lasting solution to conform to the accepted international norms and standard.

Causes for freedom struggles and the cure:

The phrase “war on terror”, trotted out by the vested interests accused of having double standards, fuels terrorism. Aggressive actions of the oppressors are in one line news while the retaliatory actions of the suppressed reflect in the mass media as a lead story.

It is imprudent to attempt to cure the symptom instead of eradicating the root cause of the disease. Any freedom struggle or terrorism is a symptom of an underlying cause of an unjust system, aggression or denial of rights, and they would automatically vanish once the root causes for the conflict are eliminated.

Sri Lankan Constitution: It looks very unfortunate, unreasonable and unethical when Sri Lanka, a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country with a diverse and rich culture, has a constitution to impose the will of the majoritarian Buddhist Sinhalese on the Tamil minority.

The Constitution emphasizes that, only a Buddhist Sinhalese could be the Head of government and state, Buddhism could be the State religion, Singhalese could be the official language, colonization of Tamil areas by Singhalese could be done at State expense, and a contrived standardization procedure to enter higher education could be enforced to benefit the Sinhalese with the suppression of Tamil children who thrive on education.

And also, on the sly the past historical records or the archaeological evidences of the country are being reportedly tampered with surreptitious interpolations to be advantageous to the Sinhalese community under the powerful iniquitous Buddhist Singhalese rule.

Ceasefire Agreement of 22/02/2002:

A congenial surrounding, to be conducive for peace talks from where it was interrupted to arrive at a lasting solution under the patronage of the International communities and supervision of the International peace monitors, could be forged ahead by coercing the parties in conflict to take part, in strict adherence to the CFA of 22/02/2002

Negotiations to quench the aspirations of the Tamils:

Chauvinistic Singhalese who want to be with the absolute power obsessed with a mindset devoid of genuine will and desire sincerely to solve the problems, have never evinced any readiness or ability to negotiate to quench the aspirations of the Tamils for the last 59 years, since independence.

Military actions in the Tamil territories differ from that in the Singhalese territories:

It has to be pointed out that, during the insurgencies of the Singhalese JVP extremists, the armed forces of the government never resorted to such tactics in the Singhalese areas, in consideration of the safety of the Singhalese civilians.

Tamil community in Sri Lanka is obsessed with a fear psychosis:

Ever since, His Excellency the President (Mahinda Rajapakse) with the sole aim of personal aggrandizement targeting totalitarianism, bagged the coveted post in 2005 with a combination of circumstances, his hawkish stance against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, and solid backing from Jathika Hela Urumaya the party of the Buddhist monks and the Marxist-nationalist party Janatha Vimukti Peramuna, jettisoning all the aspirations of the Tamils for peace by prioritizing war, with his own ideology called Mahinda Chinthanaya which emphasizes, no Norway, no federal constitution, no right to Homeland, no self-determination, no nation-hood for Tamils, no PTOMS, no recognition of anyone as sole partner in negotiation and no Oslo as venue for talks, Tamil community in Sri Lanka is obsessed with a fear psychosis, due to the dreadful terror and spree of violence in full spate that prevails among them by the existences of the SL Government sponsored Paramilitary groups comprising Tamil renegades.
