Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam as they are popularly called
as LTTE founded by Velupillai Prabhakar, is a tamil rebels
organisation that was mainly started coz of the discrimination
of sinhalese dominated srilankan government against minority
tamil community.when the LTTE became influential militarily,
they developed greed assuming that they have established Tamil
Eelam in the North and East of Sri Lanka.After acheiving this
they shud have challenged Sri Lankan government thru politics
too . But they never showed interest in political front nd
they were mislead by their Single dominant leader.His arrogance
has cost lives of lakhs of people. Of course India too has to
share the blame by supporting them initially.We paid the price
by loosing Rajiv.This civil war btwn sinhalese govn and ltte
is goin on for the last 30 years.
Recently there is an intense war goin with the srilankan govt
taking a vow to completely eliminate LTTE from their soil.
Numerous human lifes has gone down.
Srilankan Governtments Point of view: War is something which LTTE forced the Sri Lankan government
to take that extreme step and was unavoidable.They point out
that the LTTE has assassinated more Tamil leaders than the
SriLankan army has, leaders such as Amrithalingam, Yogeswaran,
Neelam Tiruchelvam, and even militants such as Sri Sabaratnam.
Srilankan Govt says it is the failure of the Tamil leadership
to allow the likes of Prabhakaran to get away with murder and
mayhem.LTTE forcibly kept civilians and innocent in the war
area using them as humanshields forcibly and shoot them if
they tried to escape.LTTE deliberately placed its heavy weaponry
close to civilian installations and fired at government forces.
Young boys and girls, children of poor parents are forcibly
recruited by the LTTE and sent to the battle front without much
trainings.The LTTE suicide bombers have been killing a lot of
innocent people almost on a regular basis.
LTTE's point of view: LTTE believes sternly that the Sri Lankan government will only
be happy when every last Tamilian have been killed by the force of
violence.LTTE accuses the Sri Lankan government unilaterally
withdrew from the Norwegian-brokered ceasefire a year go which
provoked the current war.The lives of hundreds of hostages
(including children) were sacrificed in the process of killing the
so called terrorists.LTTE complain the innocent people are being
bombarded with heavy artillery by government forces,coz of
which there are huge casualties and the most of these traumatised
people have been jailed in camps where they are separated from
loved ones, facilities are minimal, and allegations that women
have been raped and killed
Indian Governments stand: Indian govt says The Sri Lankan Tamil Issue is an internal issue
of Sri Lanka.But the TN politicians are playing a cheap voting
games to try to earn popularity in TN and the latest is fasting
to death. But on the real no steps are been taken and they dont
fucking care abt the people dying there and all they want is
cheap publicity.
The Harsh Truth : But the real truth that no one can deny is thousands of
innocent people are being killed every day in the murderous
conflict between LTTE and Sri Lnakan government.Both Srilankan
govt and LTTE are killer forces that do not give a damn to
death of innocents. What sin the srilankan people especially
the tamilians there have committed to experience this agony
all these years,and how long do they need to go thru this?If
they are in the war zone they get bombarded by the army. If
they are wounded and go to hospital they get bombed.If they
somehow manage to escape they would end up in the Nazi like
detention camps. Civilians are suffering injuries and dying
because both the Tigers and the government troops are violating
international humanitarian law
The war’s sheer brutality has created new realities.Tamils all
over the world are boiling in anger.they seem to seem to surpass
the Muslim anger over the dragging middle-east wars.
I also feel that this war would not be the end of the Tamil
struggle for independence.Clearly, it marks the beginning of
the Tamil Era which is in the making, and the signs are that
the next chapter is going to be even more destructive than the
LTTE.If the Srilankan Governments target was to save the
country from splitting into two, this war has sown seeds to
bring the exact opposite result.
I personally feel that by supporting the LTTE’s cause we don’t
do anything for ourselves not do we do anything for the misplaced
Tamils.They still live in refugee camps and are no better than
our own poor whereas the top LTTE leaders are still living a
cosy life somewhere in canada or else where.
Am left out being helpless all i can do is pray to the almighty.
Hope he brings a positive change sooner
