May 18 2009
it's one more usual day for most of the people around the world. But it's boiling day for few peoples living some where in the loop corner of the world. it's the day brought the cease for the long aged violence story of the srilanka. Prabhakaran and his trusted aids were executed on the same day that brought the climax to the internal war in the island country.
Beginning on July 23, 1983, there was an on-and-off insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), a separatist militant organization which fought to create an independent Tamil state named Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 30 year long military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009.
LTTE one of the ruthless terrorist organization and needless to say prabhakaran the one and only leader of the organization. Estimated 2 lakhs peoples lost their life's and 15 lakhs peoples lost their properties and relocated to each and every corner of the world. Today srilankan tamils living everywhere in the world with refugee status . Only Tamil cinema industry expanded their world market with help of migrants other than this every where chaos quarrels destruction's and losses .
what is the main reason for this internal war?
these are the variety of tamil speaking groups living in srilanka.
northern tamils living in island over ages ,jaffna is their main homeland
After independence the tamils from the northern part of srilanka claiming superiority in education, jobs and business. these tamil peoples never respected tamils from other part of the country even tamils from india. they considered themselves as superior to everyone.
but other side of country is totally in balanced. the majority of srilankans Sinhalese speaking community were living under poverty. srilankan government taken measures for region based reservation system which caused major damage to the northern tamils. the unbalance in the country created large level violence between tamils and singalesse . tamil as minority felt they are humiliated and taken arms demanding separate country for them.
Many militant organizations emerged but LTTE finished their successors and claimed sole responsibility of arm based liberation struggle.mainly northern tamils of srilanka involved in this war. this war is never supported by indian tamils(tea estate workers) living in srilanka
LTTE killed it's own tamil peoples, parallel tamil liberation organizations , violence against tamil speaking muslims , no rule no law dictating attitude but still it enjoyed support from the local peoples.
how its was possible ??
simple brain wash mantra...
i am the only saviour to you, if you out of the territory Sinhalese people will kill you. give money to me ...give your sons and daughters for us . they will fight for us and we will bring you the liberation.
they had eliminated almost all the moderate tamil leaders,. if anyone questioning against its leadership or decisions would be branded as traitors . needless to say traitors were assassinated badly. the under aged kids were given arms + cyanide capsules .. go and fight ..do or die..if you nabbed by enemy consume cyanide...
in the absence of the ahimsa and thoughts of fresh air the generations were brain washed for constant violence.. for the last 30 years almost all the schools were got destroyed because of crossfire. there would be atleast single damage to the each and every family living in the island nation. tamil language fanaticism made them almost sick with preprocessed mentality against the outside of the world.
There should be an end for anything, srilankan army launched their final assault on LTTE controlled area's. LTTE is totally destroyed and most of their leaders also either killed or arrested.
finally who won the war? what is benefit with this war?
since my childhood daily i am witnessing the shadows of this war. there was a time the tamilnadu offered enormus support for the tigers, but tigers back stabbed them by assassinating the rajiv . after this incident tigers lost the moral support from the main land of tamils. Tigers were able to win few battles , they were able to run parallel government in northern part of srilanka for few years. a section of media hailed prabhakaran as great hero and savior of tamils. prabhakaran always enjoyed luxury life never appeared in front of people. his kids had luxury life in European countries but poor children were compelled to wage war.
The real popularity of any person can be witnessed only after his death. the end of prabhakaran is so lamentable. No one came forward at least perform his end rituals. the man proclaimed as great warrior finally dis pressed in the air alone. today prabhakaran's mother is begging indian government for her entry. the man unable to maintain his family how can be called as a leader ??
here i can see the importance of leaders like gandhi, controlling the emotions of the people and guiding them with good energy.non violence + ahimsa at least would have helped the people from both side's by saving lives of lakhs.
prabhakaran kind of peoples can be admired by few peoples ,,,but truth always sucks..they knows only to whistle and clap when their team win;s the game.
the sad end of prabhakaran led gang is the best learning for the modern society .the need of ahimsa , need of freedom of speech the need of non violence. prabhakaran may have few good qualities but his the way of execution brought only the sorrows..the war he waged against victims and hiding behind innocents not only killed him but also the many innocents too. finally he did not achieved anything. It's good learning for any language speaking groups on the grounds of the language fanaticism .
