By C. Wijeyawickrema –
American and European politicians who got humiliated after failing to rescue Prabakaran from the battle filed in May 2009, are now trying in Geneva for the second time to put Sri Lanka on the separatist trap by intimidating Sri Lanka to allow one or two of their agents to sit at an office in Colombo in “helping” in implementing the LLRC report. From their point of view this innocent-looking plan is possible and workable because Colombo is replete with Eurocentric politicians and officers who are for the 13-A plus game. Even the cabinet has a lot of bankrupt politicians who previously supported things such as “this war is not winnable,” “Sri Lanka was a failing state,” the package deals of the CBK days and the Indian F formula. The dying breed of NGO peace mudalalis know very well that 13-A of 1987 is an India- imposed communalist strategy taking back Sri Lanka to 1832, when communal representation was first introduced.
Why the colonial master in Ceylon did not break Sri Lanka in 1948 is a mystery in the history of colonialism. May be they wanted to use Ceylon to control Nehru and the Russian bear looking for a warm water port in the Indian Ocean. The separatist Chelvanayagam was all out to deliver Tricomalee to Nehru, and the Malayali geopolitical expert Pannikkar was treating Trinco as part of India! This was why Soulbury Commission did not want any federal mess in Ceylon. The English-nursed young SWRD did not know enough of his country’s history or geography to not talk about federalism for the Kandyans (Up-country). Instead both he and DSS, Low-country Sinhalese, had Kandyan political marriages. Yet, the white man did everything possible to divide Sri Lankan people on communal lines and caste basis. Unlike in Ceylon, since the early 1770s, “breaking India” was part of colonial agenda. First it declared “there is no India,” then later, after feeding the cancer to break India it said “there are two Indias.”
Until about two months ago all what I knew was the axis between Ali Jinna and the Dravidastan separatists in Madras and the importation of this plan to Ceylon via Tamil Christian separatists in Colombo. I wrote about this aspect of Tamil separatism in detail in the past. Only by accident I came across a book which records in detail a two-hundred year old imperialist plan to break India. It is an incredible story. After reading this book I could see a clear link between the plan recorded in the book and what America is trying to at the UNHRC in Geneva. If America can fool others and get a seat at LLRC office in Colombo, it will be the latest and shortest path to the plan to break India. If Sri Lanka is divided or the TNA separatists get “meaningful-devolution” in the Northern Province then it will be the base from which the break- India-plan will operate in future. The world of reasonable people needs to know this naked strategy of the modern-day imperialist saints.
Breaking India
Breaking India: Western interventions in Dravidian and Dalit faultlines is a book by Rajiv Malhotra and Aravindan Neelakandan, (www.BreakingIndia.com), published in 2011, just before the release of the LLRC Report. It gives a factual account of how the Imperial West was planning since the early 1770s to break India that existed prior to European arrival by inventing Dravidian and Dalit “faultlines.” It was a different colonial game compared with the Opium Wars against China. The anti-India front has now become a deadly silent cocktail mixing biblical stories, with Hindu gods and geopolitics, western government agencies, university professors and entities such as the Ford, Fulbright and Rockefeller Foundations and all kinds of foreign and Indian NGOs. The breaking India authors painstakingly unravel this complex and often secretive saga of a conspiracy to destroy India from within, sooner than later. If American and European plan works to intimidate Sri Lanka to allow access it will be much sooner.
Amazingly, Eurocentric politicians (and bureaucrats) in India, because they have to depend on communal Tamil Nadu actors for political survival in Delhi, are playing a deadly game of going behind the American fox, not realizing that the West is planning to use Sri Lanka as a platform to break India via a ghost Eelam under the 13th Amendment (there will be only one Dravidastan or one Ealam covering both India and Sri Lanka). For this purpose all what America wants is that the Sri Lankan side of Eurocentric politicians (there are several dozen of them in the government) and their western educated advisors to agree at the UNCHR in Geneva to let American agents to sit in a Colombo room to “help implement” the LLRC Report! The rest will be history as happened in Kosovo, South Sudan or East Timor. Future Hilary Clintons can land in Tamil Nadu or in Jaffna without any objections from Delhi or Colombo because that is how it is meant by “meaningful devolution.” The UNO or any of its agents never solved any political problem in the world. It was a cat’s paw in the hands of white western imperialists. One has to read the Breaking India book or visit the Website mentioned above to understand the gravity of this threat to India.
Breaking India is of 650 pages and the main body of the book is 421 pages long with 19 chapters full of tables and diagrams. What I did here is to reproduce the “:six provocations” listed in the book which I think are relevant in the context of the UNHRC meeting now in session in Geneva. India already has a “red corridor,” “Christian belt,” and the world’s fully Baptist state. India could so far delay UNHRC attempt to interpret caste division as race division to intervene in Indian domestic affairs direct as UNHRC is now used by American to interfere in Sri Lanka.
Six Provocations
1. DRAVIDIAN IDENTITY CONSTRUCTED, EXPLOITED & POLITICIZED:
The fabrication of South Indian history is being carried out on an immense scale with the explicit goal of constructing a Dravidian identity that is distinct from that of the rest of India. From the 1830s onwards, this endeavor’s key milestones have claimed that south India: is linguistically separate from the rest of India; has an un-Indian culture, aesthetics and literature; has a history disconnected from India’s; is racially distinct; is religiously distinct; and, consequently, is a separate nation. Tamil classical literature that predates the 19th century reveals no such identity conflicts especially with “alien” peoples of the north, nor does it reveal any sense of victimhood or any view of Westerners or Christians as “liberators.” This identity engineering was begun by British colonial and missionary scholars, picked up by politically ambitious south Indians with British backing, and subsequently assumed a life of its own. Even then it was largely a secular movement for political power (albeit with a substratum of racist rhetoric). In recent decades, however, a vast network of groups based in the West has co-opted this movement and is attempting to transform Tamil identity into the Dravidian Christianity movement premised on a fabricated racial-religious history. This rewriting of history has necessitated a range of archeological falsities and even epigraphic hoaxes, blatantly contradicting scientific evidence. Similar interventions by some of the same global forces have resulted in genocides and civil wars in Sri Lanka, Rwanda and other places. If unchallenged these movements could produce horrific outcomes in South India.
2. LINKING OF DRAVIDIAN & DALIT IDENTITIES:
India has its own share of social injustices that need to be continually addressed and resolved. Caste identities have been used to discriminate against others, but these identities were not always crystallized and ossified as they are today, nor were they against a specific religion per se. Caste identity faultlines became invigorated and politicized through the British Censuses of India, and later intensified in independent India by vote bank politics. A dangerous anti-national grand narrative emerged based on claims of a racial Dalit identity and victimhood. But Dalit communities are not monolithic and have diverse local histories and social dynamics. There are several inconsistencies and errors in these caste classifications: not all Dalit communities are equivalent socially and economically, nor are they static or always subordinate to others. While Dravidian and Dalit identities were constructed separately, there is a strategy at work to link them in order to denigrate and demonize Indian classical traditions (including spiritual texts and the identities based on these) as a common enemy. This in turn, has been mapped on to an Afro-Dalit narrative which claims that Dalits are racially related to Africans and all other Indians are “whites.” Thus, Indian civilization itself is demonized as anti-humanistic and oppressive. This has become the playground of major foreign players, both from the evangelical right and from the academic left. It has opened huge career opportunities for an assortment of middlemen including NGOs, intellectuals and “champions of the oppressed.” While the need for relief and structural change is immense, the shortsighted selfish politics is often empowering the movements’ leaders more than the people in whose name the power is being accumulated. The “solutions” could exacerbate the problems.
3. FOREIGN NEXUS EXPLOITS INDIA’S FAULTLINES:
An entity remains intact as long as the centripetal forces (those bringing its parts together) are stronger than its centrifugal forces (those pulling it apart). This study of a variety of organizations in USA and Europe demonstrates certain dangerous initiatives that could contribute to the breaking up of Indian civilization’s cohesiveness and unity using various pretexts and programs. The institutions involved include certain Western government agencies, churches, think tanks, academics, and private foundations across the political spectrum. Even the fierce fight between Christians and Leftists within the West, and the clash between Islam and Christianity in various places, have been set aside in order to attack India’s unity. Numerous intellectual paradigms, such as postmodernist critiques of “nation,” originating from the West’s own cultural and historical experiences are universalized, imported and superimposed onto India. These ill-fitting paradigms take center stage in Indian intellectual circles and many guilt-ridden Indian elites have joined this enterprise, seeing it as “progressive” and a respectable path for career opportunities. The book does not predict the outcomes but simply shows that such trends are accelerating and do take considerable national resources to counteract. If ignored, these identity divisions can evolve into violent secessionism.
4. RELIGION’s ROLE IN THE COMPETITION FOR SOFT POWER:
Global competition among collective identities is intensifying, even as the “flat world” of meritocracy seems to enhance individual mobility based on personal competence. But the opportunities and clout of individuals in a global world relies enormously on the cultural capital and standing of the groups from which they emerge and are anchored to. As goes India and Indian culture (of which Hinduism is a major component), so will go the fate of Indians everywhere. Hence, the role of soft power becomes even more important than ever before. Religions and cultures are a key component of such soft power. Christian and Islamic civilizations are investing heavily in boosting their respective soft power, for both internal cohesiveness and external influence. Moreover, undermining the soft power of rivals is clearly seen as a strategic weapon in the modern kurukshetra.
5. INTERROGATING THE TERM “MINORITY”:
How imperialists use minorities as servants
“One must wonder if the vulnerable third-world ‘minorities’ could end up as unwitting agents for imperialism and as the new global ‘coolies’ or ‘sepoys.’ … There is a need to redefine the notion of minority, keeping the following factors in mind: If a minority is working for, funded by, appointed by, or trained by a foreign global nexus, then it is not really a minority. It is part of a bigger [global] enterprise…” pages 190-191
The book raises the question: Who is a “minority” in the present global context? A community may be numerically small relative to the local population, but globally it may in fact be part of the majority that is powerful, assertive and well-funded. Given that India is experiencing a growing influx of global funding, political lobbying, legal action and flow of ideologies, what criteria should we use to classify a group as a “minority”? Should certain groups, now counted as minorities, be reclassified given their enormous worldwide clout, power and resources? If the “minority” concerned has actually merged into an extra-territorial power through ideology (like Maoists) or theology (like many churches and madrassas), through infrastructure investment (like buying large amounts of land, buildings, setting up training centers, etc.), through digital integration and internal governance, then do they not become a powerful tool of intervention representing a larger global force rather than being simply a “minority” in India. Certainly, one would not consider a local franchise of McDonalds in India to be a minor enterprise just because it may employ only a handful of employees with modest revenues locally. It is its global size, presence and clout that are counted and that determine the rules, restrictions and disclosure requirements to which it must adhere. Similarly, nation-states’ presence in the form of consulates is also regulated. But why are foreign religious MNCs exempted from similar requirements of transparency and supervision? (For example: Bishops are appointed by the Vatican, funded by it, and given management doctrine to implement by the Vatican, and yet are not regulated on par with diplomats in consulates representing foreign sovereign states.) Indian security agencies do monitor Chinese influences and interventions into Buddhist monasteries in the northern mountain belt, because such interventions can compromise Indian sovereignty and soft power while boosting China’s clout. Should the same supervision also apply to Christian groups operating under the direction and control of their western headquarters and Islamic organizations funded and/or ideologically influenced by their respective foreign headquarters? Ultimately, the book raises the most pertinent challenge: What should India do to improve and deliver social justice in order to secure its minorities and wean them away from global nexuses that are often anti-Indian?
6. CONTROLLING THE DISCOURSE ON INDIA:
The book shows how the discourse on India at various levels is being increasingly controlled by the institutions in the West which in turn serve its geo-political ambitions. So, why has India failed to create its own institutions that are the equivalent of the Ford Foundation, Fulbright Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, etc.? Why are there no Indian university based International Relations programs with deep-rooted links to the External Affairs Ministry, RAW, and various cultural, historical and ideological think tanks? Why are the most prestigious journals, university degrees and conferences on India Studies, in sharp contrast to the way China Studies worldwide is under the control of Chinese dominated discourse, based in the West and mostly under the control of western institutions?Comments are closed.

Dr.C. Wijeyawickrema,
You have stated:
“Why the colonial master in Ceylon did not break Sri Lanka in 1948 is a mystery in the history of colonialism. May be they wanted to use Ceylon to control Nehru and the Russian bear looking for a warm water port in the Indian Ocean.”
When “Communism” put it’s feet firmly on the Earth, the policy of the British and the West was to prevent the expansion of ‘communism’ in the the Indian ocean and particularly in Lanka. That was the reason for the British to abandon the Lankan Tamils in 1920s and embracing the Sinhala Buddhists! Because of the global Military strategy, and the importance of “Naval Power” the British and the West did not want to give any chance for division of Lanka. Please read the studies “The Influence Sea Power upon the History (1890) and “The Problem of Asia and its Effect upon International Politics” (1900)of (American) Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan).
Late Prof. C. Suntharalingam (1942) and G. G. Ponnampalam(speech in 1944, raising the ‘Nandhi Flag'(Bull Flag) in the island Lanka) spoke openly about the establishment of separate state as the only solution to the Tamil problems.
All these only made the British to hand over entire independent ‘Lanka’ to the majority Sinhala Buddhists!
The British who divided the Indian subcontinent into ‘India’ and ‘Pakistan’did not want further disintegration of ‘India,’ specially: Southern Tamils.
This is one of the main reason why the British and the West wanted Lanka entirely at the hands of the majority Sinhala Buddhists.
Again you have stated:
“The separatist Chelvanayagam was all out to deliver Tricomalee to Nehru, and the Malayali geopolitical expert Pannikkar was treating Trinco as part of India!”
Dear Doctor!
You brand Mr. Chelvanayagam as a “separatist.”
But, in 1949 ‘the Federal Party’ was formed by Chelvanayagam and others with Federal Policies!
Why?
‘Federalism’ basically rejects the establishment of separate state for the Tamils! Thus, to prevent the Tamils from moving towards the policy of establishing a separate state, Federalism that rejects separation had to put in the minds of the Tamils.
By making the Federal Party of Mr. Chelvanayagam to win the mass support of the Tamils of North and the East, establishment of a separate state for the Tamils and dividing Lanka into two countries could be prevented!
This was what the British and the Americans wanted after the second world war and the formation of NATO and CIA in 1949!!
This was the reason why the people like ‘James Evelyn Ratnam’ and others, who were the Christians of ‘the Churches of South India’ opposed the Federal system proposed by S.W.R.D. Bandaranayake in 1920s and writing articles rejecting Federalism, joined the Federal Party in 1949!!
If you know the correct history of the Tamil politics you will know that Chelvanayagam and the Federal Party were forced to accept the establishment of separate state for the Tamils by the Tamil militants who rejected the Thmil Fedral Party and Federalism.
The Federal party was all out to break the formation of militant Tamil youth organization ‘Tamil Illaiñar Pēravai(Tamil Youths’Movement)in 1972! This made them to organize another youth body with the same name “Tamil Illaiñar Pēravai” in the East with Māvai Sēnāthirājāh, Vannai Ānaņthan, Kāsi Ānaņthan and others to confuse the Tamils and do propaganda that the “Tamil Illaiñar Pēravai” was their youth organization!
The Federal Party (Late Mr. Thiruchchelvam) that was having talks with late Mme Bandaranayake after 1965 Parliamentary elections, suddenly had talks with Dudley Senanayake, signed an agreement and formed a “National” Government because at that time only the USA was about to open a Naval, Air Force and storage bases in the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia!
Even now, the West needs India for trade, investments and global dominance!
Out of the present Indian population of 1200 million, about 20- 25% of the Indians are billionaires! That i.e.: about 240 – 300 million. Americans expect within 20 – 30 years, there will be about 600 million Indian Billionaires!
This will be about the Total population of the EU!!!
Thus, even now, the West will not like India dis-integrating into a number of states specially along the North -Eastern (Chinese side) and Southern boundaries (Tamil Nadu etc)!
The West, India and the industrial nations gave military, Intelligent, logistic and training assistance to Mahinda’s Government to destroy the LTTE for the same simple reason!
Did not you listen to the interview given by Blake to one of the New York Radios explainting why the USA needs close relationship with the India?
In your article, something has been written about “The fabrication of South Indian history is being carried out on an immense scale with the explicit goal of constructing a Dravidian identity that is distinct from that of the rest of India.”
Dear Doctor, not only in North and South India, in Lanka also the ancient histories have been fabricated!
The studies on ancient Tamil, Sanskrit, Pali, and Sinhala literature, and the archaeological finds of India and Lanka such as Indus Valley seals, statues etc. and other archaeological finds like Brahmi inscriptions, coins, seals, statues, sculptures, paintings, earthen wares, potsherds etc. have been unscientific. Thus, all the conclusions have been imaginary and false.
Our leaned have not conducted a scientific study on ‘Symbolization.”
‘Symbolization” is the most important field in the study of human history.
Letters, words, phrases, sentences, language, literature, music, dance. drama, iconography, painting etc. and archaeological things such as inscriptions, seals, coins, etc. involve “symbolization.”
But unfortunately the historians, archaeologists, linguists, numismatists and others have failed to study the field “Symbolization” scientifically and come to correct conclusions.
In Lanka, with their false and imaginary conclusions on the studies of Pali, Sinhala, Sanscrit and Tamil literature and archaeological finds only the ‘Sinhala nation’ has formulated its Sinhala Theravada Buddhist nationalism based on the Doctrine: “Aryan” – Sinhala – Sinhalese – Theravada Buddhism – Lanka with one to one correspondence!
The Sinhala popular archaeologists or historians or numismatists do not know what the hundreds of symbols found marked in Brahmi, Tamil, Sinhala inscriptions, coins , seals and others or made in statues and sculptures symbolize!!
This is because they have not studied the subject “Symbolization” and the “Symbolization of Lord Buddha and Buddhism.”
Our Sinhala “learned” do not understand the fact that the Theravada Buddhism rejects completely Puranas, literature, music, dance, drams, Symbolization, Symbolization of Lord Buddha and Buddhism.
Only Mahayana Buddhism accepts these!!!
What ever the Buddhist archaeological things they discover in the Island Lanka, they immediately associate the finds and places where they were discovered with “Sinhala Theravada Buddhist heritage”!!!
Our historians and the ‘learned’ do not know that the Tamils were Mahayana Buddhists earlier and then followed “Saivaism,” the perfected Mahayana Buddhist philosophy!!
If we study the Lankan Indian literature and the archaeological finds we would be able to find that Lord Buddha had been symbolized with the animals Lion, Elephant, Bull and Horse and a pair of foot!
The Lion flag that was captured by the British in 1815 and kept in the Royal Military Hospital Chelsea has the emblam of Lion holding a sword placed at the centre of a rectangle with four pinnacles at the corners.
Paranavithane and the Theravada Buddhist religious leaders who did not have any knowledge on “symbolization of Lord Buddha and Buddhism” and the word – meaning relationship of the Tamil Language had come to the wrong and imaginary conclusion that the Lion holding a sword symbolizes THE SINHALESE RACE!!!
In Tamil language, ‘sword’ is called “VaaL.’ But the Tamil word ‘VaaL’ has the meaning ‘Light’ in addition to a sword.
Tolkaapiyan in Urichchol Iyal had said: “வாள் ஒளியாகும்” (VaaL Oli aagum) That is: “Vaal is light.”
Therefore, the Lion is not an ordinary lion that kills other animals and eats. But, it is an enlightened one, the Buddha!
It is further confirmed by placing the lion at the centre of a rectangle with four pinnacles at the corners.
The rectangle with Four pinnacles at the corners could symbolize the Four Noble Truths!
Lord Buddha realized the Four Noble Truths and he himself adhered to what the Four Noble Truths emphasized (the Noble Eight fold Path)!
Therefore, the flag of Buddha and Dhamma were hoisted in the capital Kandy where the sacred Tooth Relic was kept in the octagonal building Dalada Maaligaava that symbolizes the Noble Eight fold Path!
Therefore, the national flag of Lanka does not represent the Sinhala people.
It is actually a symbol of ignorance!
The Governments of Lanka and the Sinhala nation have been disgracing Lord Buddha and Buddhism!!
The Governments of India and the Indian people also do the same because of their ignorance!
The ‘Lional Capital’ of Saranath has been used to symbolize India.
But the Fours lions at the top symbolize the Four Noble Truths. The Bell at the bottom symbolizes making announcement to all or Preaching something to everyone without discrimination.
Thus, the four lions joined at their backs and the bell combined symbolize preaching the Four Noble Truths to everyone.
Anyway, to reject any other argument that the Four Lions at the top symbolize something like the Four Vedas or some others, a particular symbol is marked on the outer wall of the bell.
This mark symbolizes the Middle Path! The Middle Path is the fundamental philosophy of Buddhism! the Dhamma!!
Further, in the ‘Lion Capital’ the four lions are joined to the bell by a cylinder and on the wall of the cylinder we find the animals Horse, Lion, Elephant and Bull in a moving position separated by Chakras!
As explained earlier, these animals symbolize Lord Buddha. Thus, these animals in moving position separated by chakras symbolize Lord Buddha rolling the Dhamma Chakra!
Thus, the ‘Lion Capital’ of Saranath is one of the finest sculptures that symbolize Lord Buddha Preaching the Four Noble Truths that emphasize the Middle Path Dhamma to everyone without any discrimination.
As far as Tamil written language is concerned, it is the only language in which there is a definite relation between a word and it’s meanings.
The great Tamil Grammarian ‘Tolkāppiyan’ in his grammar book had stated that: “மொழிப்பொருள் காரணம் விழிப்பத்தோன்றா.” The ancient Commentator Sēnāvaraiyar had explained in his commentary how and why a Tamil word gives meaning!
Unfortumately, the Western and Eastern linguists, including the Tamil ‘learned’ have not understood correctly what were said by Tolkāppiyan and the Commentator Sēnāvaraiyar!!
If you want to understand what Tolkāppiyan and Sēnāvaraiyar had said about how and why a Tamil word gives meaning, I would suggest you to read Plato’s “Cratylus Dialogue.”
The North Indians speak about the Vedas, Ramayana, Bharata and others. But they have not analyzed when the Sanskrit ‘Nagari’ letters were invented. On the other hand, the linguists, archaeologists and historians talk and write about the Brahmi inscriptions.But they have not found with scientific evidence when Brahmi letters were invented!!!
Above all. Ramayana epic is actually based on the history of Buddhism in Lanka. It depicts how after over 70 years of Cola domination, Vijayabahu 1 after the expulsion of Colas, reorganizing Buddhist Sangha and building a temple in Polonnaruva to keep the tooth relic crowned himself as the Buddhist King of Lanka in 1073 Common era.
The year 1073 is mentioned in the Tamil Mahayana Buddhist epic “Manimeekalai’ as “ஈர் எண்ணூற்றோடு ஈர் எட்டாண்டு”(Buddhist era)(Chapter 11, lines from 75). “ஈர் எண்ணூற்றோடு ஈர் எட்டாண்டு” Buddhist era is actually: {(2×800 + 2×8) – 543}Common Era if we assume that Lord Buddha died in 543 before the Common Era. According to Tamil tradition, Lord Buddha died in 543 before the Common Era.
Buddhism reappearing in Lanka after the expulsion of Colas is something like Lord Buddha reappearing on the earth from Tushita Loga and re-establishing Dhamma in the Earth through Lanka!
Thus, in Ramayana, Sita was made the (Buddha) Dhamma; Rama was made the reincarnation of Lord Buddha; Ravana was made the Cola domination; Vijayabahu the first the Vibhishana and the Tamil Buddhists of South India were made the Monkeys!
Thus, Ramayana literature was composed by the Tamil Mahayana Buddhist Monks to explain the history of Buddhism to the ordinary people through a literature!
The three stanzas placed at the beginning of Kamban’s Ramayanam praises the Triple Gem!
Here the Literary symbolization is used to associate Ramayana with Mahayana Buddhism!
There are a number of Sinhala and other literature of the Southern Lanka and Tamil literature of South India that praise the Triple Gem at their beginning.
This was the reason why we find Temples for Vibhishana in the Mahayana Buddhist temples in the South and temples for Hanuman in Lanka and India!!
The Indian and other “scholars’ who did not study scientifically the Tamil literature have come to wrong and imaginary conclusions on Sinhala, Sanskrit literature.
The worst of all is that the Indian Ruling has formulated its expansionist policies basing on its false doctrine that the ‘Aryan’Rama established domination over the Indian subcontinent up to Lanka!
We have to keep in mind that like Pali language to Theravada Buddhism, Sanskrit and Tamil are for Mahayana Buddhism!
Likewise, all the Tamil and other literature should be re-examined scientifically!
Thus, unless our historians, archaeologists, linguists, numismatists and the ‘scholars’ re-examine scientifically the literature and archaeological finds of India and Lanka, politics based on ‘History’ will be wrong and imaginary!
The people of Lanka and India will continue to suffer because of the ignorance of the so called learned, the staregists and the politicians!!

Abimanasingham, I am not a scholar on the subject and therefore cannot either vouch for or dispute what you state, but I must declare how pleasing it is to read your civil and cultured response to the article written by Dr. C. Wijewickrema.

Naachiyaar / March 21, 2012
Dear Sir, your reply has definitely shown me a new and refreshing side of the history. True, how ignorant are we :(. Do Let me know if you are into research, would love to know more about your views on symbolism.

Dear sir,
Well said, but lagging few things on your article. The main point missing in fact is that the West is not only aiming to break India but also they wants to unsettle the China, the next superpower too. Since the Chinese are well ahead carving their area of control by having the friendly nations in this region like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh ect.. to lay their future plans and the west US in particular knows this fact and they have made their supreme move targeting this tiny Island as they knows that even China,India and other nations couldn’t do anything about it or perhaps ignore it. However the consequences are phenomenon and the profit that West yielding is enormous. They have done with the middle east, they have nothing to do with pacific. But they have to a lot with Asian as they were busy in the past with middle east. They know that they are too late to stop China being the next superpower. Yet they want to have foothold of their own in this region under the disguise of may be Tamil Elam. China it’s your Move not India’s. It’s seem like this is the Sri Lanka’s move but its not. Sri Lanka could do a little on this since already the big plan has been activated to cripple the region.
Moreover to that, the most important watchdog is the Israel to estimating the whose scene and they have analysed their future plans which even to the US, it is a secret at the moment. May be their main aim is to get the whole world to their hand by 2020. May be not. Who knows.
On Tamil’s perspective, A Country for them is a blessing and they were dreaming of it from the past 300 years and it is now becoming a reality sooner than later. As you have precisely pointed out that the Sri Lankan politicians have been drawn to the West by giving misleading fact such as accountability and other issues and more than that some financial benefits. Even Jayalalitha, Karunanidhi and other big guns of the Tamil Nadu knows that Elam is not only a tiny part of Sri Lanka but the whole circle of Elam including Tamil nadu, Part of Singappore, Part of Malayasia as well. Well oiled plan machine is now pushing the US to make their move to go against the legitimate government rather than forgetting of killing their own leader Rajiv Ghandhi. India are now trapped to the US move and they are checkmate!
Other than that, what reasons made US to do something against this tiny Island, Our people must remember that clock is ticking…and may not be to the other world, but to this Island nation the 21 Dec 2012 will be the beginning of the end of the Sri Lanka.
