LTTE Supporters Rationale for Eelam Debunked!

The following debate is between an LTTE supporter (Sivanesan) and a Sri Lankan Patriot (Dinky Winky) from DefenceWire.blogspot.com blog .

Enough is enough

Lets set the record right .Since there is 03 generations of lies propagated by the opportunistic Tamils.This conflict was never about discrimination since by and large discrimination never existed among the ordinary people of sri Lanka .This is all about elite tamils loosing there prefered status conferred on them by the british and the cast system. The bait was mythical tamil ealam Unfortunately the so called low cast tamils become the cat's paw this is still a stuggle of elite tamils of jaffna faought by the misguided youth who are supposed to be ( Majority of them ) so called low cast tamils [The cast system is still very strong among tamils]

The following are a few which they make a huge cry about but all base less accusations blown out of proportion to suit their ealam concept.

Ealam concept contrary to the popular belief this has its roots as far back as 1922 and is a offshoot of the great dravidian nation mindset of certain tamils which is a superiority complex which arises out of an inferiority complex(just do a google search on these two terms and most of the behavioral patterns of these monkeys can be explained)

lets examine few of the cries of tamil elamists

CLAIM: In 1956 the Sinhala Only Act was introduced completely discriminating Tamils.

Sinhala only act? Correction”The name is Official Language Act No 33 of 1956 which made Sinhala The official language of Sri lanka removing English . and sinhala was the language used by apx 75% of the citizens of SL at that time

Why was Tamils complaining of some thing they never had what was the official language before 1956. English so if you find it fit to learn English why can’t you learn Sinhala being the language of the majority .and this was implemented only for the state service not for the private sector why the fuss .USA has a Spanish community, Canada has a large Tamil Community, and do you work in your own language. This act has nothing to do with Tamil it was created to take out the power wielded by English Speaking people who were a mere fraction at that time. But due to the divide & rule policy of the briitsh Tamils were given preference in govt. opportunities you lost that. Does India consider Tamil as its official language although it has millions of Tamils .Just because a particular community, a dialect has a geographical concentration it is not a reason to make it an official language .Well we have done that too what more are you asking.

CLAIM: In 1958 Mr SWRD Bandaranayake (a great statesman) identified the problem and drafted a federal solution using his exceptional intellectual ability and exceptional foresight. But the Sangha and extremists managed to stop it.

The elam concept was already in force by this time. The Tamil Elam concept was inaugurated by Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam in 1922. Extracts from his speech to The Ceylon tamil league as the founder of the same
“It has far higher aims in view, namely to keep alive and propagate these precious ideals throughout Ceylon, Southern India and the Tamil Colonies, to promote the union and solidarity of Tamilakam, the Tamil Land.
We should keep alive and propagate these ideals throughout Ceylon and promote the union and solidarity of what we have been proud to call Tamil Eelam.
Then 1931 the 50-50 demand by GG ponnambalam when the sinhalease consists of 65% of the population .Lackily this was rejected by the Donoughmore Commission What is the need for federal because it can be a stepping stone for elam luckily it was stopped if not the mythical state of elam would have being a reality dividing thisland on ethnic lines.

CLAIM: In 1972 standardization was implemented and this discriminated Tamils beyond belief. Northern province offers little opportunities and education is everything. You take it away from Tamils and they will not have any livelihood left.

Another load of crap Standerdization discriminated tamils how? This was brought in to give a equal opportunity for all in education .Due to this students coming from areas where there are good educational facilities needed to score more .True jaffna students needed to score more marks simply due to better educational facilities there. then again students fron batticola ,vaunia & trincomalee, mannar got the benefit in the same way students from Colombo has to score more marks than the students from nuwaraeliya there was no racical discrimination don’t lie

CLAIM: 1983 July riots (Black July)

Ordinary sinhala people were never a part of this and this was not instigated by the sinhala majority but by a few thugs then why is tamil community holding the 83 riots against the sinhalease. Riots were bad I never condone it but let me brief you about the situation in 83 by that time the sri lankan Millitary was more of a ceremonial nature and did not have the capability of rapid deployment island wide unlike today further the numbers were not adequate so it was a logistical nightmare to do a large scale mobilization so by the time the military was mobilized and the situation was brought under control the damage was done.

CLAIM: There was a separate Tamil Kingdom in Jaffna extending to parts of Wanni and parts of the East.Of course it is not as old as Anurathapura, Polonnarawa but it was there when the Europeans arrived.

Kingdom ??? You call it a kingdom when there is a clear administrative structure, A monetary system, Law and order and there is conscious efforts by the ruler to uplift the living standards of its subjects .There are state sponsored development initiatives .developed cities , Are any of these present in the so called mythical jaffna kingdom .strangely NO not a single archaological evidence to substantiate this do you know why this is only a rough rule and none of the people ever considered this as their homeland they were temporary settlers here for various reasons and their attachment in mind & sole was to tamilnadu where there is enough evidence of the rise and development of the tamil people and the tamil nation


CLAIM: From 1948 onwards governments colonised the North & East deliberately changing the ethnic composition. There are enough land in Sinhala areas. Let people come, don't bring them forcefully.

Colonization my foot .This is a utter lie please read
'State aided colonization' - Facts and Fiction
By: Ceil .D. Dharmasena - (Retired Deputy Director of the department of Agriculture and former Director of environment authority and Mahawali Authority) http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20060720_04

The land belong to to the state unless you have the title to it so the state decide the best economic use of it

CLAIM: We have no problem with Sinhala majority in Sinhala areas. Similarly let Tamils run the Tamil majority areas in one country. Isn't it fair?

What is the governance you want
We( The central government) reserve the rights to The foreign policy, Defense & Police , judiciary and the territorial waters of Sri lanka

CLAIM: If Tamils are given a governance responsibility they will feel they are part of Sri Lanka

If not for this Terrorism and LTTE eliminating tamil leaders we could have seen a tamil prime minister in Hon. Lakshman Kadiragamar & Hon. Jeyaraj .Fernandopulle Don’t blame the sinhalease for the mistakes of others

CLAIM: If reasonable devolution is given allowing Tamils the right to make laws, manage lands, administer policing in their areas

The answer is NO .There should be no devolution on ethnic lines why should there be a devolution of power to 10% of the people in a country (Current status of the tamil population is apx 7%-10%)then what about the rest of the people.Is there any thing that the ordinary tamil people donot have that an ordinary citizen of Sri Lanka have .This discrimination story is all cock and bull

CLAIM: Apart from Kadir no Tamil was given such very high office.

This is another lie every government office have tamils working in the senior management if im to compile a list this space would be not enough ( talk to public administration department they have the details )ewhich could be well above the ethnic ratio what dose it tell appointments are based on merit.But there is a problem due to the war the entire education structure of North and east did not function as intended so dont blame the rest of the country blame the LTTE the long standing repercussions of this will be felt by the tamils in future due to a scarcity of educated & qualified tamil intellectuals

CLAIM: If a federal solution is given the Tamil diaspora will not have any demands. They will invest in Sri Lanka.

Who cares about the demands of tamil diaspora those who funded terrorism will be followed up and dealt with accordingly as per the law the necessary legislation is already in place.

CLAIM: The whole world has agreed that a federal solution will work.

There is no ethnic problem here in Sri Lanka So there is no need of a federal solution the provincial system is more than adequate to tackle the every day problems of the citizens of this country if the elected people are suitable.Any solution should be exceptable to Sri Lankans here the world opinion is secondary and has has minimal impact on a sustainable action.
